Feature request: extrapolation of regional scoreboard values #1028

Open ianmcorvidae opened 9 years ago

ianmcorvidae commented 9 years ago

A frequently-asked question during play is roughly "if things stay about how they are, which team will win this cycle in the region?" A good way to represent this, I think, would be to show (on a checkbox selected, presumably) what the end-of-cycle score would look like with some sort of extrapolation for checkpoints that haven't yet happened.

As far as a method of extrapolation, my best idea would be to use the median values of past checkpoints (to exclude e.g. the effects of single-checkpoint mega field spikes as well as more general fluctuation). Another option would be to use the most recent checkpoint's values.

It should be the median to match expectations against the ingame median line.

@ryantheleach: What makes you think the in game line is the median, when the in game score shown is the mean?

I do agree that median and most recent checkpoint are both good extrapolations to look at, unfortunately it varies which one is more useful. For example, if a large field was up overnight near the beginning of a cycle, it can take awhile for the median to adjust to something reasonable.

Yeah I screwed up, meant to say mean, have no idea what I was thinking at the time of posting. Even turns out the mean line is already in IITC.
