I know a few websites already exist. For example, this site and the Babes of New Eden. I'm super-impressed with the quality of both of these sites, by the way.
So please, no personal aspersions about whether or not I have better things to do with my time. ;) In fact, I do, but I started mucking around with this idea just to refresh my knowledge of PHP and mysql and I got a little bit carried away with it, so I'll just post up a link to the site and you can take or leave it.
EVE Online Avatar Face-Off
Though the frenzy about rating avatars has died down compared with where it was a couple of weeks ago, I still think this site has a little something to offer that perhaps you haven't seen on other avatar match-up sites.
Primarily, it offers players the ability to make judgments upon avatars based upon a set of attributes, such as intimidation, creepiness, heroism, and so forth. Avatars aren't assigned any sort of absolute rating about which is the best, and there really aren't any winners and losers. In fact, even the results pages for the attributes only presents a random assortment of characters with ratings greater than 50%.
I did this site purely for the fun of it and to celebrate a really cool character creator tool. If anybody ever uses it and once I get it refined a little, I'll submit it to CCP as a fansite.
Anyway, I hope somebody gets some enjoyment from it.
Oh, one last thing: there are two versions of the game.
Standard Deck. All avatars are fair game for any question. It's totally random. Stacked Deck. You're only going to see avatars that have a positive rating in the attribute asked about in the question.

When I was testing it out yesterday, I went through the forums and grabbed a bunch of avatars I thought looked pretty good and gave a good variety. So it's sort of a compliment. :) I'm happy to remove anybody's avatars if they'd prefer not to be in there. I'd have to do it as a black list, though, since I can't really stop players from submitting avatars they don't own.
Also, thanks for the kind words, Tressin.

Well, you're currently at 72% attractive and 25% ugly, so things seem to be sorting themselves out.
Thanks to everybody who has been playing. Somewhat astoundingly (maybe even unbelievably), players have made a selection upon almost 19,000 face-offs. No idea how many of those are legit and how many are just people clicking in time to music, but it's impressive to me, anyway (though I'm kind of vexed that people keep voting down my own avatars! ;))
I've done a few tweaks here and there to make results a little more meaningful. Something I just pushed live was an update to the face-off script to weight more recently added avatars in order to ramp up the vote totals for fresh faces. I'm happy to take any other improvement recommendations. Given even the meager amount of data that can be culled from the API, it's still possible to generate some interesting stats.
For example, the most attractive race? Caldari. Ugliest race? Amarr.

I like the fact it covers more than just the ugly/attractive spectrum. A suggestion for an alternative mechanism, place one image but then put 3/4 random words that equate with your asix below, were voters choose just one that sums up the character.
e.g.
Attractive/Ugly Dramatic/Mundane Realistic/Unreal Professional/Amateur Good/Evil Friendly/Intimidating. Heroic/Anti-Hero Bold/Modest

Ugh. Sorry--this is what happens when you try to slap together a database-driven website in a few days while also working a full-time job and taking care of a 4-month old daughter. This is also why I keep backing up my database.
That probably should be fixed. I actually was handling the apostrophes, I just wasn't handling the slashes.

Good suggestion. I'll think about that this week.
Originally by: DoNotTouch Seems like im always rating the same ppl?! but there should be thousands of portraits and im getting the same after some clicks is just very unlikeley..
I might have been over-weighting newer entries. I've also done another small change to ameliorate this problem (fixed something I had done in a lazy way originally). I think you should see more variety now.
I apologize in advance to anybody who encounters a bug. Hopefully, they only last a minute, because of some stupid on-the-fly update I've done, but undoubtedly, there are some kinks that still need to be worked out.

At present, 912 avatars in the rotation. Bottom 10 is a little trickier, since it sort of depends upon how you'd go about defining that. There are only about 40 avatars that have an average accross-the-board score of less than 20% wins (throwing out all of the zero-percenters).
Thanks for the tip about the typo, by the way.
And to the player who was having trouble uploading his avatar, you probably caught the five to ten minutes yesterday when I was implementing the sex selection and I messed something up on the upload script. I added you to the game, myself. Sorry about that.

Ugh. Sloppy work on my part. Thanks.
Believe it or not, I was manually assigning sexes to all new avatars from my makeshift back-end. I still do it, occasionally, but it's more automated now in case I don't have time.

Wow. Thanks for the support. At this point, I'm just hoping CCP don't shut me down.
The results page for your character is actually showing you a curved average. I'm not going to bother getting into my formula, but it's possible your true percentage is lower. More likely, though, that you've probably only come up once or twice in that category.

Yeah, I spotted that one, too. That's an amazing customization job. In fact, I just pushed a celebrity look-alike feature to the rotation (it's a random thing--1 in 25 chance of it popping up on any given face-off load), and that's one of the avatars I used for the trial.

I wish i knew php and mysql well enought to do something like this in a number of different areas.. plenty of addsense dollars for this sort of thing geared to a better adverstising niche audience.
I really like your phrasing of questions although I'd love to know more about your scoring and offering algorithms.
I'm assuming if someone gets judged well for something once, they get offered in that category more often to confirm it?
If they get matched against another character strong in the category does the vote against them hurt a lot or is it a recursive scoring model so that the loss to a character with high marks in a field doesn't hurt much. (as the database gets large, keeping scores recursively adjusted would be a horendous processing load I guess )
I look at the college football computer guru's sites a lot and have a feeling of the complication there with far far fewer results.
If we liked both characters in relation to a question, and wanted them to both get ahead in the category...are they in agregate better if we declined to state or better if we voted to at least give one credit instead of a passs?
Anyway.. i find the whole site really interesting in ways beyond the eve characters...and I also found it sort of addicting ((i spend days on a google picture rater a few years ago )
I'm sedning you 20 million isk for a little tip... cheeers

Amazing job!
Only suggestions I have: When you see the percentages on a profile, show how many votes for each category there've been. (100% means a lot more when it's 40 or 50 votes than 1)
Allow breakdowns based on sex as well.
Annnd it'd also be cool to see the top ten in the results category, rather than just a random smattering of profiles.
If you don't do any of those things though, I still want you to know I appreciate your work and I think it's great!

Edited by: Razor Vision on 10/02/2011 15:26:18 BY FAR the best avatar rating website EVER.
This is such a great website, I've been addicted to it for hours.
You realized that by having solo avatars it creates a heavy bias on the voter (if they are jealous, for example). You realized that solo avatar voting is boring and fail. (im referring of course to that one fail website with a Like/Dislike feature and solo votes/ratings of 1-10).
But Babes of New Eden had the basic concept down of what works and they weren't failing. So I stuck with them despite it's many much needed upgrades. But now....
You basically, you took the concept/basic-philosophy of Babes of New Eden and added many much needed features. Avatar vs Avatar is always the way to go when it comes to websites such as these.
This is by far the front runner of all Avatar rating websites. I 100% approve. AWESOME WORK Justinius Augustus! You rock. Please keep up the good work.
I especially love the two options to skip a selection. THEY ARE PERFECT and exactly what I needed on Babes of New Eden.
I truly hope that your website becomes the "Main" avatar rating website of EVE!!!
LONG LIVE EVE AVATAR FACE-OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, somebody needs to tone it down a little...
I think they're all great - they all get the job done and provide interesting and varied results. Some do things better than others, but I wouldn't be calling anything 'best' just yet.

Hey, I'm a favourite! Thanks!
This was my firts try with the character editor. Been fiddling around with posing, lighting and background with the redo but just can't get something together fitting better to what I want my character to express than what I have now, so I guess I'll stick with my portrait for now.
Love how this page gives feedback on how the portrait is perceived by people in different characteristics, so you can get feedback on how good you managed to design the intended expression. --------

Originally by: Shander Maxum I really like your phrasing of questions although I'd love to know more about your scoring and offering algorithms.
I'm assuming if someone gets judged well for something once, they get offered in that category more often to confirm it?
If they get matched against another character strong in the category does the vote against them hurt a lot or is it a recursive scoring model so that the loss to a character with high marks in a field doesn't hurt much. (as the database gets large, keeping scores recursively adjusted would be a horendous processing load I guess )
Hey, thanks for the interest! As to your questions...
This isn't really a scientific site, so no, there aren't any recursive algorithms in use for the match-ups. I trust time to bear out meaningful results, so it may, in fact, take a few days for attributes to start attaining some sort of equilibrium for a particular character. The closest thing I've done to what you're talking about is through the "Stacked Deck" version of the game, which limits offerings to avatars that have a positive balance in the attribute in question. I play with the stacked deck, myself, for maybe ten minutes a day just to weed out some of the flukes.
Admittedly, it might have been more interesting to do it your way, and it wouldn't have necessarily been difficult , but I've attempted to keep things simple (a) to keep load times short and (b) so that it isn't a big mystery how avatars arrived at their current grades. The only exception to that would be the curve that I apply on the character sheets. That does use a formula that benefits high scoring avatars over low scoring avatars. The curve is recalculated once per day, and it's essentially based upon significant high scorers, with some cushioning built in to account for outliers. These are my own algorithms, and they're not super-scientific except to the extent that the end result is what I want it to be.
Quote: If we liked both characters in relation to a question, and wanted them to both get ahead in the category...are they in agregate better if we declined to state or better if we voted to at least give one credit instead of a passs?
Exactly. A pass on a question doesn't register a vote, so it won't move their scores one way or the other. I elected not to assume the reason that players are passing on a particular face-off.
Quote: I'm sedning you 20 million isk for a little tip... cheeers
heh. Nice. Thanks. I'll put it to good use as soon as I have time to get back into production in game. ;)

ha! Thanks. All of the websites I've seen have been damn good in their own ways. I'm constantly impressed by the quality of work that comes out of the EVE community, which is one of the reasons I'm so fond of the game.
In truth, I was working on a kind of similar game--nothing to do with EVE, however--for some friends, and it was only after a couple of weeks doing that that I thought, "I should just take this and apply it to the EVE avatars." I wish I could say that I was able to retool the code from that other thing, but it was just a little too different (and it integrated with Facebook). I didn't even know about the Babes of New Eden or the other site when I started writing code for this.

Edited by: Mary Jane Watson on 10/02/2011 19:04:06 A suggestion, could you make the background a bit darker? It would make it easier to see the subtle shadows on darker pictures. My eye is adjusting to the white bright background and for example <-- some detail is lost.
Background like in this portrait fetcher: http://eveolution.de/portrait.php?user=Mary+Jane+Watson
Good job on the website. And I hope you have algorithms that give newer characters to also get votes perhaps a bit more frequently than the ones who have been there longer. As many have an interest in seeing how their characters are perceived by others it would be a good incentive to push the new characters a bit in the beginning. Otherwise as more and more portraits are submitted, the harder it gets for newcomers get a good baseline of votes. Maybe try and even out the votes between the portraits? |

Exactly. A pass on a question doesn't register a vote, so it won't move their scores one way or the other. I elected not to assume the reason that players are passing on a particular face-off.
Maybe I should have allowed for a "both" option to counterbalance the "neither" option, but I don't know...I thought results would be a little more meaningful if they were actually the result of a decision one way or the other. The "neither" option was kind of a necessary evil, though, to make it possible to trivialize attributes that really bear no meaning at all to an avatar.
I mean...I probably could have done things about a million different ways. I just hope it's fun the way it is. à........
Thanks for more of your thoughts behind your creation. I don't quite get the curve but I don't need to.
I'm as much or more interested in peoples true impressions of many avatars in each of the categories as trying to select the top 10 winners. à (understanding that its nothing scientific)
Its cool to know peoples thoughts... and of course most of us haven't designed to only one trait ...some of the attributes we try to convey work against each other at the top of a class but come across vs the general population of characters. Friendly and shrewd for example à someone with both will tend to lose the next round against a character that is only friendly without a hint of skepticism.
When you use the stacked deck, while you're sorting among the high scorers, you're also giving characters moderately strong in an area a strong chance of driving down their percentage in that strong area below 50% by matching them against the best in class.
I know too many questions make it tough on viewers but I'd definitely use the ôbothö choice in the nonstacked deck (might word it ôgive both of them somecredit for being xxxxx)
Then for the stacked deck, I'd make it so a win helps but a loss doesn't hurt, but in a way that didn't let the increased votes for being shown more often overwhelm the bigger statistics and make a face thats been around much longer ranked higher.
An approach I think would work would be to calculate a separate percentage score on the ôstacked deckö match ups, and then divide that percentage by 10 and ADD that to the standard percentage.
So, the max score would be 110% for a character that won every standard showing and every stacked showing.
I don't know what your threshold is for beginning to present a character in the stacked area, but assuming it was 66% , as long as he/she maintained that, they'd get some stacked showings. If they were only on the cusp they probably wouldn't win more than 1 out of 5 stacked showings so would get 2% added.
Again, the good part about that sort of adjustment would be, to see what people thought about your character more accurately even if it wasn't at the very top of the given field.
The system would still be as good (or perhaps better) at wringing out that last percentile in a contest way.
Just some thoughts... and lol, I think send you a bigger tip BTW.. once away from the game I realized I didn't even get past $1 worth of isk...enough for Brutix battle-cruiser seems way more valuable than a pack of chewing gum.

A few years ago, I tried to teach myself enough programing to get there...I learned ruby, and ruby on rails (got a clue of odd new thoughts for someone new to the subject like iterating over an aray, and model view controller, ajaz, and all the easier stuff like html, css etc) .. I got lost and gave up at the deployment stage even though I had a pretty good little ap started and working on my computer for coaches managing a kids soccer team.
I hadn't quite gotten the user authentication plugins sorted out and of course feared a data injection attack divulging addresses etc.. or putting p ron on a kids site.
But anway.. going off topic here so I'll cut it short. Did you use a development platform for the php or would you point me anyway on that? Joomala etc? (looking at the source it didn't look like it but I'm rusty on stuff I was never really primed on in the first place).
The loads are incredibly smooth for my computer.

Originally by: Shander Maxum Thanks for more of your thoughts behind your creation. I don't quite get the curve but I don't need to.
I was intentionally being a little opaque about that, since I'm still tweaking it. In a nutshell, each attribute has a curve and you may or may not get the full portion of it depending upon your raw score. The formula isn't really important, and it doesn't affect overall standings in the sense of, say, a top 10, so for most attributes, it's really just for the sake of morale when people look at their character sheets.
Quote: When you use the stacked deck, while you're sorting among the high scorers, you're also giving characters moderately strong in an area a strong chance of driving down their percentage in that strong area below 50% by matching them against the best in class.
I've thought about that, and it's true that when I play with it, I always skip the ones that are both good. I'm considering some ways to make stacked deck decisions more meaningful. In the meantime, I've recently begun tallying stacked wins and losses separately in case I ever make a decision.
Quote: I know too many questions make it tough on viewers but I'd definitely use the ôbothö choice in the nonstacked deck (might word it ôgive both of them somecredit for being xxxxx)
I'll consider it.

Yeah, maybe. These are solid game design ideas. I'm always trying to find the right balance between simple and complicated. Maybe this weekend I'll have time to tweak all of this.
Thanks again!

No, I built it from the ground up. It's not majorly complicated, so that wasn't too big of a deal. I work a lot in ASP.NET and C# with MS SQL Server databases for my job, and while there's a lot that I like about that environment, it's much easier to get a PHP/Mysql site up and running. I'm happy to offer any tips that I can if you ever have questions.

I'm pulling the images directly off of CCP's image server, so I've got to take whatever they've got. I think it could take a couple of days for the image server to reprocess your portrait. Also, particularly if you're using Internet Explorer, you could be looking at a cached version of the image.

Why would you purposely want to win most ugly? There's really no talent in that. It's honestly a disgrace to this great 3D Avatar program CCP has given us.
Justinius Augustus, this brings up something I wanted to ask:
Do you plan on ever removing avatars you come across that are blatantly crap? You know, avatars like this "egegergergsdgedgege" fellow for example. Who have no talent for making a real avatar so they just become an attention-freak by making a super messed up avatar that took them like 5 seconds to create. It's obvious that the people who submit extremely terrible alts are simply trolls who want to ruin your great website. So could you pretty please remove avatars that are so horrible whenever you come across them? Please... (I hate trolls -.-)
Honestly, those troll avatars may as well be blank portraits. There's no difference in my book. And you already remove blank portraits. So just add trolls to that removal process of yours. =)

I see your point. In truth, some of the really ugly ones kind of make me laugh, even if the players who made them spent all of one minutes in the character creator. At a certain point, however, it does feel like if you've seen one of these, you may as well have seen them all.
To answer egegergergsdgedgege's question, the results list is a random collection of high scoring avatars, and that was pretty much so that people wouldn't necessarily feel that they're in competition with everybody else for bragging rights the way it works with some of the other avatar sites. Having a high score is its own reward, and I didn't want people to have to concern themselves with their characters falling out of the top 10, or whatever. Some of what I consider to be the best avatars actually float somewhere in the 70% range for attributes.
As long as I'm posting, I might as well mention that I've been playing with my match-up algorithm to attempt to produce more interesting face-offs. A lot of it is still random, but I've got a few ideas either implemented or in my head for producing more meaningful results for characters.

Lovely. Next time you check your character sheet, you should find some new tracking data. The voting window is open for 7 days, and the question will appear randomly while playing the game: "Is Crumplecorn ugly?"
I'll decide later what action to take if it turns out you have a positive balance of "no" votes.
Thanks again for volunteering.

I know that I have repeatedly skipped over you or voted for the other character if they qualify as ugly in my mind .
I just don't want to give credit to people who've done slapdash stuff on a character they might hardly play. (Your name didn't help my gut instinct there)
I don't think you should necessarily be eliminated from the database arbitrarily...but thats a developer decision to what degree he wants to have a more subjective input to enhance the percieved integrity of the majority of his users. (thats a content decision...and as long as he doesn't puport it to be entirely mechanical (and the ways polls work , even the framing of questions largely steers the results)he's being straight forward.

Funny, I don't find you ugly at all.. maybe even attractive. You have balanced features and don't look like a bad person at all, just one that doesn't suffer fools ... like some idiot you don't want to look at taking your picture.
My idea of attractive is more like, if you had a room of 100 people and had to split into groups of 8, which ones would you like to have in your group...who were you attracted too. I'd probably combine that with, who'd I mind like to get intimate with (on the female side) or maybe who might be worthy of a favored actress in a movie love seen on the male side.
As for ugly... while i read the description , i'm not with it entirely. Weird, or bizare aren't ugly to me...they just defy rating at anything because they're a pile of crap (for me). I need to be able to think of a personality type that makes the character real enough, then I'd think, if he/she were a holding a seminar.. would I just hate looking at them so much I wanted to leave . They need to be sort of uncharismtatic and have some homely looks too.
Thats the way i see it at least..
I'd definitely like to sit next to you on an airplane...you look intelligent enough and you wouldn'd gross me out if I watchged you eating....attractive

Well, I'm quite sure Razor wasn't referring to avatars like yours, but rather to avatars that are obvious attempts to give as little care as possible to the character creation process and still reap a high score.
All of these stats are pretty iffy. I've got an avatar up there (not this one) who would probably be a Hollywood movie star in real life, and for some reason, he's up in the 40% zone for ugliness. So the only thing sites like this prove is that people who play online games have a really high threshold for attractiveness. And it doesn't help, either, that 8 out of 10 times you're probably coming up against a supermodel.

One pet peeve that keeps occurring, when I've selected something from a list to view in more detail I usually press the back button on my mouse when I'm done and I'm sent to the previous site I was viewing and not back to the previous "face-off" frame that held the list of people for example. Instead just habitually pressing "back" I need to reselect the main category and scroll back to where ever I were before... Is it possible to make it so that you can return to the previous view (frame) and not totally jump to what ever other site you were visiting before one entered your site? |

Originally by: Joshua Deakin One pet peeve that keeps occurring, when I've selected something from a list to view in more detail I usually press the back button on my mouse when I'm done and I'm sent to the previous site I was viewing and not back to the previous "face-off" frame that held the list of people for example. Instead just habitually pressing "back" I need to reselect the main category and scroll back to where ever I were before... Is it possible to make it so that you can return to the previous view (frame) and not totally jump to what ever other site you were visiting before one entered your site?
To be honest, that bothers me, as well. It's one of the major drawbacks of handling all of the page loads with AJAX. I do have an idea to allow the site to maintain a limited history of pages you've viewed. It would continue to preclude the use of the back button in favor of some sort of custom control, but maybe that's okay if it accomplishes what it needs to and users can figure it out.
I started working on this site as a learning experience, and I keep learning things. If I have any time today, I'll see what I can do.

I've implemented some forward and back buttons that should reveal themselves once you've moved beyond your first page. Don't think that you can use these buttons to vote twice, because it doesn't work. If you try it, you won't get a notice stating that your second vote is being discarded (I'll add one), but you'll see for yourself that it doesn't budge the results.
I'm only letting the site keep a history of about five pages, so just keep that in mind.

Wow. Good call. I wonder why I didn't think of that one. It's added.

Nah, it probably got caught. Check the character sheet for that character and see what it says next to her race.

Well, you won't get into the attractiveness/ugliness rotation until the avatar's sex has been confirmed. Specifying a sex is only the first step. It has to be confirmed either by another player or by me. I know this probably sounds irrationally paranoid, but even with that extra step, people still try to get avatars in under a false sex. Don't ask me why.
The bigger frustration is that the EVE API doesn't simply contain information about the character's sex.

Originally by: egegergergsdgedgege Why am I not in the Result list for ugly people, though 100% do think i am? Or arent the results some kind of top 10?
Why would you purposely want to win most ugly? There's really no talent in that. It's honestly a disgrace to this great 3D Avatar program CCP has given us.
Justinius Augustus, this brings up something I wanted to ask:
Do you plan on ever removing avatars you come across that are blatantly crap? You know, avatars like this "egegergergsdgedgege" fellow for example. Who have no talent for making a real avatar so they just become an attention-freak by making a super messed up avatar that took them like 5 seconds to create. It's obvious that the people who submit extremely terrible alts are simply trolls who want to ruin your great website. So could you pretty please remove avatars that are so horrible whenever you come across them? Please... (I hate trolls -.-)
Honestly, those troll avatars may as well be blank portraits. There's no difference in my book. And you already remove blank portraits. So just add trolls to that removal process of yours. =)
I worked for hours on that avatar. In fact its very easy to make an good looking char but the posibility for real uglyness are rather limited. I would have loved to do a really fat avatar, but females in the character creator only go from anorexic to below normal wieght., which is rather stupid. Have a look around you. There are plenty of really ugly people. So why not have an ugly char?

Thats fair enough.. and I'm sorry to sugest otherwise.. guess I could have looked you up.
Still, in my mind... you just don't fit "ugly" more "grotesque" ... "ugly" to me feels like a bad example of a given look . The description on the site would include what you did but it just doesn't fit my gut impression. As the char creator makes human's and only if you push it to warped levels does it make something else.. what I want to see is someone who makes a very realistic character that is well, like people I'd meet at work where their natural looks would be so bad that they'd make it hard for me to watch them teaching a seminar
Similary, my idea of "funny" is a guy that makes me smile.. probably needs to be fairly attractive like a comedian... Steve Martin or John Belushi..for example.. you can imagine many screen shots that made you smile.... half the charaters beind put up as funny are just warped... I really don't want to look at them.. they don't make me smile..
Obviously, other people will have different opinions on this, but I'm consistenet... similar with intimidating , attactive etc.
A guy with perfect good looks but looks like he's full of himself is far from attractive ...at least he'd be less atrractive than someone with half a step down features but nice eyes and a charismatic smile(fine line between cheese and genuine there but you can see it) . Same with a girl that has perfect features bue looks like she's o-tr. The need to look like someone I'd want to be with.. or that I'd put forward as a spokesman for my company etc .
Sean Connery or Harrison Ford (for him when he was younger) didn't just have strong featuress, they had twinkles in their eyes and wry smiles that made them attractive. I've got a crush on Holly Hunter and think she was one of the most attractive around ... Sexy might carry the day.. but elegant might also, but how they bear their head and what you see in their eyes for either helps .

Akita's character is a good example of someone I'd mark higher in attractiveness than a slew of the asianish girls with glazed over eyes and too much make-up (almost looked like manequins).
Now, I wouldn't but Akita up in the top 10% of attractiveness ... but she's well above average despite what you can picture as a far less than pefect body. Now she's NOT attractive enough to have me put her above some of the sexier models that I'd like to see nekid who also had something in their eyes that was intriguing
... and "nice" isn't necessary... maybe "smart" or "interesting" is needed for me or not quite sure...there were more than a few vilanish female characters that would definitely "draw me in" and make me very interested and rank tops in attractiveness despite perhaps some evil-ness . (crack that whip baby ! he he) Smart and self assured go a long way with making someone attractive.
Envy, and Vanity (basically insecurities) are such ugly traits that theye can overcome some nice features and make you want to look away.

I noticed that, too. Either that player chanced his/her avatar this morning, or when I was screwing around with that feature at 12:30 last night, I just copied the wrong character ID. I removed her in any case.

I've yet to implement that, as I got sidetracked improving the match-up algorithm and other systems. The ones in the game now are all look-alikes I've identified while playing. If you've got a good one, feel free to share. I did look briefly at the Celebrity Look-alikes thread on this forum, but I didn't see many I thought were worth doing. A lot of times the best look-alikes were done by people who weren't trying to do a look-alike.

Ah, like a work-friendly version of the character sheet? Yeah, I could probably do that.
When TornSoul came in originally, her portrait hadn't made it up to the server yet, so I flagged her in the database, which is why she hasn't been coming up. I just unflagged her, so results should start rolling in pretty soon. I've been meaning to have a second look at all of the "no portrait" avatars and see which of them now have portraits. So I'll probably just do that now.

I'd be curious about that as well. I found myself wondering how often race was correlating to certain traits as well. For example pure Gallente males and Creepy, I think that would be a strong correlation

Nice site indeed! Nominating Jurij Sieger for celeb look-alike as Shepperd From SG Atlantis. Just tested the new showdown thingy against Justinius though i'm not sure how it works. Only had one choice in category being intimidation.
I noticed there are a bunch of characters that come up in the rotation way more than others and also portraits in a certain choice category like heroic where they just don't fit, while they would be perfect for the next rotation of being whatever category that would be. I played with the rotations for about 30-40 minutes yesterday (slow day at work, i do have a life :P) and only came across myself once while i saw a dozen or more of the same portraits pass by in different categories.
Anyways, the site and concept is quite fun indeed and i'll be forced to keep an eye on myself now :P ___________

I've been thinking to do something like that when I have the time to work out the queries. Something that interests me a bit more, however, is this:
Originally by: Sahmul I found myself wondering how often race was correlating to certain traits as well. For example pure Gallente males and Creepy, I think that would be a strong correlation
Just incidentally, I've noticed that some bloodlines perform better in certain categories. I'd like to generate some of that info for the Ethnicity pages.
Originally by: Commander Amy Stewart Is there no ranking lists, the top bravest, ugliest and so on .. ?
Not at the moment, no. The results pages are just a random collection of characters that have over 66% for a given attribute. I thought it was more interesting than seeing the same top 10 all the time. Just the way I chose to do it, and it's not set in stone, I suppose.
Originally by: Khaemwese Do you mind adding my 3 alts? Isetnofret , Bint'Anath and Hatmehyt.
Your site is awesome, I find myself going there at least once a day.
Thanks! And sorry for the trouble. I wish I knew what was going on there. Looks as though somebody already added your characters, because they're already available to track.
Originally by: Freyya Nominating Jurij Sieger for celeb look-alike as Shepperd From SG Atlantis.
heh. Okay. I can see that.
Originally by: Freyya Just tested the new showdown thingy against Justinius though i'm not sure how it works. Only had one choice in category being intimidation.
I was wondering if anybody would notice that. It isn't really implemented yet. The showdown is meant to be a way of going truly head-to-head against an opponent who shares some attribute in common with your avatar (actually, anybody can volunteer your avatar). When you select an opponent, it looks for attributes that are within 20 points of your own attributes (10 up or down), and you can select one and only one. I had an extraneous semicolon in my code, which is why you only had the one option.
Anyway, when it's fully implemented, these showdowns are going to come up randomly in the rotation just like celebrity look-alikes and so forth. Wins and losses aren't going to go to your character totals, and it's purely going to be for bragging rights (e.g., my avatar is more <blank> thank yours is!). You can have two showdowns going at the same time: one as the challenger and one as the challenged.

Some of this is down to the quirks of the random picking, and some is down to the fact that newer avatars do receive a selection advantage, more so in particular attributes. The algorithm still needs some tweaking, but it's not as random as it used to be.

Not at the moment, no. The results pages are just a random collection of characters that have over 66% for a given attribute. I thought it was more interesting than seeing the same top 10 all the time. Just the way I chose to do it, and it's not set in stone, I suppose.
I was wondering if you would eventually sort this out. It may screw with the data more if you do as people would be more inclined to try to spike competition rather than just get feedback.
It might be good to disclose that this is how you're choosing what you show in results. to prevent some people who might be spiking others because they think it it will get them shown.

I actually like your avatar, though I do understand why it isn't climbing the charts. I do think, however, that a portrait like yours is underrated for uniqueness, since it fits the strict definition: I've never confused any other avatar with yours. No other portrait looks like Syn Callibri, while so many of the Asian avatars, in particular, blend together for me.

You have the satisfaction of knowing that the match-ups were stacked against you?
But seriously, I'm contemplating a few options. That week passed too quickly.
[Edit: All right--next time you check your character sheet, you'll have a slightly pleasant surprise. My script splits the difference between your performance in the attribute challenge and your performance in the regular game, then adjusts your selected/unselected totals to bear out this new raw score. Basically, your UGLY score dropped.]

If you've got a good one, feel free to share. I did look briefly at the Celebrity Look-alikes thread on this forum, but I didn't see many I thought were worth doing. A lot of times the best look-alikes were done by people who weren't trying to do a look-alike.

My character is one of these:
Quote: As far as we can tell, the character "Sebadai" doesn't exist. Occasionally, however, there are problems with the API for character name to ID conversion (possibly with trial characters?), so if you know the character's ID, you can try that instead.
Adding worked with the ID just fine obviously but the same issue prevents griefwatch from fetching my portrait it seems.
Tried googling it but came up with zero, so since you have heard of the problem before could you point me to any info about it, Justinius? If not, no problem, already filed a petition about it. - Just wanted to see whats known about the issue.
Sorry for the derailing!!

Thanks for reminding me to suppress the empty portraits from the ethnicity lists. The vast majority of those portraits aren't in the rotation, which is why the example you've supplied doesn't have any results. I keep them in the system rather than purge them so that they can't be added again. To be sure, these characters never had portraits, so I don't know why they registered.

Edited by: Freyya on 22/02/2011 08:15:08 Just found out something and don't know if it's by design or not;
When pressing too close to call or just don't want to answer for several clicks you can get the same 2 avatars in 2 or 3 rows in different categories. Isn't it possible to pull a character that has just been voted on by someone out of the cycles for 3-4 minutes? That gives other portraits some more chances to be shown as i still find i am coming across the same characters alot more than other ones on seperate days. This is all in the standard deck btw.
Also wouldn't it be a better idea to release all categories with showdowns instead of only the ones that are close to each other? To me it seems it wouldn't matter if the chosen categories are already near each other or not since it's a showdown, which could be on any category you could choose. People will still pick the one they like best in the category and any obvious attempts to spike a certain category by putting yourself againts a very ugly character or something could be solved by making a report button for misuse?
Last thing: I've noticed i've dropped out of the realistic category with it saying i've never been picked there, but i know for a fact i've been selected there at least thrice with a near or 100% score... ___________

That's a funny twist. Nice to see that for instance male Amarr with their head stuff and cloaks are indeed considered ugly, creepy, dramatic, shrewd ...
Gallente women on the other hand are the least ugly, friendly, funny, the least villainous, not at all heroic or dramatic and neither determined, not shrewd either, I'd almost say they're nice girls but also a bit dumb/simple.

Keep in mind that it's all relative to other characters, it's not an absolute score. If I have to compare to models I may not be pretty, compared to 80 year old shriveled grannies I'm a beauty. As most players do their best to make their characters pretty and the question doesn't say anything about other features it doesn't say that much. As I previously posted, Gallente females are for instance considered nice and friendly and the least ugly - but also the least smart and lacking determination. What would you choose?

Oh, yeah. I definitely see it. I'd seen that avatar come up a few times, but hadn't made the connection. I added him this afternoon, and he's not doing too badly so far.

Yeah, it's possible if I store your recent match-up history in the session and filter them out of future face-offs. I might do that. To answer your question, it isn't necessarily by design that this happens, but there is a reason that it happens that way. Basically, the algorithm is trying to get every avatar at least a few votes up or down every day and it's using a simple chronological cycle through the avatar list, so if you're the only one playing at the moment and you keep passing, the game keeps trying those characters. Not every time, as you've noticed, but it may seem like that depending on how the rolls controlling the algorithm go.
Quote: Also wouldn't it be a better idea to release all categories with showdowns instead of only the ones that are close to each other?
Maybe later. For now, I've increased the span to 15 points up or down. To me, it's just more interesting if the decision is more difficult for the player. Though I'll concede that there are many avatars with undeserved high scores and undeserved low scores, and a showdown might prove that out.
Quote: Last thing: I've noticed i've dropped out of the realistic category with it saying i've never been picked there, but i know for a fact i've been selected there at least thrice with a near or 100% score...
Now THAT is a mystery. I'm showing 0 selects and 4 non-selects.
I honestly can't think of a single reason you might have lost standings. I watch the score changes pretty closely when I play, and I've never seen anything like that. I'll give you a vote to get you back on the board, but at the moment, I haven't an explanation for what you claim to have seen.

Hmm well i don't know what could have caused it either but it was in my selected list. The categories i wasn't selected in at that time (iirc) was Funny, Ugly and Trustworthy. Realistic was as i said shown 3-4 times at that time and had a curved near 100%. If subsequent selections favor the opposing character i can imagine losing out on that curved 100% but that would show in your logs...Strange indeed. Ohh well, it's just a game afterall ___________

If it went down as you say it did, I apologize. I do have a bad habit of making changes on the fly on the live files, so if I had temporarily messed up my submission script, I guess something strange might have happened. Glad you've got a good attitude about it. In the long term, it should come back around.

The site is coming along nicely! Thanks for putting in the time to do this. The best avatar site by far.
One thing that I thought might be cool is to have the ability to leave a comment when viewing someone's profile; but I guess that would mean having to log into the site? Maybe too much work. I would like to leave some snitty comments though.. hehe

The aggregate stats by race are pretty interesting.
True Amarr is apparently the most villainous, ugly and intimidating bloodline in the galaxy, while True Gallente is apparently the most friendly-looking. It would be interesting to see how closely the eventual results match what the CCP artists had in mind when designing the races' new looks.

Originally by: JAG Fox The site is coming along nicely! Thanks for putting in the time to do this. The best avatar site by far.
One thing that I thought might be cool is to have the ability to leave a comment when viewing someone's profile; but I guess that would mean having to log into the site? Maybe too much work. I would like to leave some snitty comments though.. hehe
Thanks. I haven't had a lot of time to work on it over the past week, but I've been attempting to tweak things here and there. A lot of it is probably invisible to players.
I've actually thought about some sort of commenting feature. There isn't a great way to do it unless it's anonymous. I wish there were a way to send en EVEmail from an external e-mail. That would allow some basic user management. I'll consider doing something, though, for the handful of users who might actually be interested in such a commenting feature.

I think there must be a ghost in the machine that hates your avatar. I'll pull a database backup from a few days ago and see if I can figure out. For the record, I'm posting your current stats here:
CREEPY (83%) CREATIVE (82%) DRAMATIC (76%) INTIMIDATING (76%) DETERMINED (69%) SHREWD (69%) ATTRACTIVE (65%) VILLAINOUS (56%) UGLY (37%) FUNNY (33%) REALISTIC (22%) FRIENDLY (18%)
Originally by: DoNotTouch when i try to add "killing mandy" it says its already in the rotation. when i try to find the character it says it cant be found...
any ideas?
Yeah, it's a bug in the API. The character sheet that gets returned by the API doesn't include the character name, so when that character got uploaded, the name column was blank. I've filled it in by hand, and you should be able to use the tracking now. Sorry about that.

Originally by: Palpatine III That's fine, if that's the look you were going for; but why come on here and cry about your "ugly" rating then?
Its called sarcasm...and why do you care anyway?
I don't care. I just find it annoying when people think their avatar is attractive, and then complain about their bad reviews in forum threads. How's that for sarcasm?
Sarcasm is mocking humor...hence the mocking over the top reaction to the numbers.

Rgr. It might be that i was never offered in the heroic department before, basicly i'm not sure about that one right now as i never envisioned to be heroic in the first place. It now being at the bottom as "offered but ..." might be because i perhaps finally entered the rotation on that spot after the last time i checked...I'm still 100% sure about that realistic thingy though ___________

I'm too lazy to look for and resurrect the appropiate thread, so I'll ask here: does someone know whatever happened to the BONE site?
And BTW, great work, Justiniu, I've got some people to play this webgame and they're not EVE players... It's a very nice showcase of what this new editor can do (I can't wait to get a chance to remake my avatars, wanna try some tricks I learned from seeing other people's work)

There's some issues with the API calls and they work to fix it.
You can see if your character is affected here: http://api.eve-online.com/eve/CharacterID.xml.aspx?names=[yournamehere] (Enter your name without the brackets)
There are two kinds of this bug: -Like Laura Kingsley you got your character ID returned but the name has " " nothing. -Like me you get your name returned but not your ID, you get a "0" instead.
But this seems to be fixed on the testserver already: http://apitest.eve-online.com/eve/CharacterID.xml.aspx?names=[yournamehere] - Way of the Gun

hi Justinius
thank you for nice comments about my portrait on your site. i guess you are improving your site day by day. didnt noticed Declare Showdown or Challenge options before. but the strange think is anybody can put some other peoples portrait in a challenge.
(sorry if that issue pointed before. im lazy to read 7 pages)
keep it up with good work.

Yeah, the idea was to produce a site that could sort of replicate all of these forum threads that nobody outside of the game will ever see, so I'm glad your friends played it. Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, it's true that anybody can put your character up for a showdown or challenge one of your character's attributes. There isn't much I can do to change that, and in a way, I kind of like that it works that way (heck, somebody used my avatar to challenge another, so I know it happens, and that's all right), but if somebody uses one of those actions and you don't approve, I'm happy to cancel it so you can request your own challenge, or whatever.

Sorry if I've been quiet lately. I didn't have a chance to do anything, really, until today.
I've implemented a new game that for the time being I'm calling "Match Game". This is the classic Concentration board game done with EVE avatars. You've got a board of 20 cards (10 distinct x 2) laying face down and you can only turn over two at a time. The goal is to match them all.
I'm calling this a Beta, because I'm not quite sure what I intend to do with the results. I've got an idea in mind to turn this into a "Memorability" stat on your character sheets, but I want to collect some data and feedback before I do that.
This was coded in an afternoon, so I apologize for any bugs. Please report whatever you find.
Originally by: Barry Ze'Choppa Can we get a category for most Vampiric?
ha! I saw another one that I thought was even better than yours, if only because the guy had managed to find a way to make his avatar look chalk white.
Originally by: DocDoo can I put myself as a celeb Patrick
Hmmm...I'll consider it. There's already a Patrick Stewart on the Celebrity Look-alikes, but I suppose there could be room for another.

Yeah, you can't really take these stats too personally. They can turn out kind of weird. Plus, you've yet to receive enough offerings on any of those stats for them to be definitive. Once you've got 10 offerings in any attribute, you can challenge it, if you'd like, and get an idea of what people think in the absence of a competitor.

I don't usually do this, but I'm going to bump my own thread, if only because I think the Match Game mentioned in the previous post is pretty fun and I'd like to get more people playing with it. |

No it's perfectly ok! :)
I just didn't expect realistic that high or determined so low as I envisioned her a quite a stubborn girl who knows exactly what she wants. REALISTIC (98%) - DETERMINED (20%)
As for pretty - not ugly but also not attractive, well that's about ok. ATTRACTIVE (37%) - UGLY (35%)
Funny that all my characters are considered heroic! This one is my favourite though, I absolutely love her! HEROIC (64%) - VILLAINOUS (61%)?
Anyway, really a great webby, by far the best! Too bad you were the last one when the new character hype was already a bit over. It would be nice if a lot more people would give their opinions on it.

I tried to add a character a while back, and got the error "" is already in the rotation.
When I try now I get the above error with the correct name, but I can not do a lookup on that character.
So there seems something was written to the database even though the API call returned crap.
You might want to check your database for incomplete entries.

Exactly. And after the fix, I still can not add the character (because the site thinks it is already in the rotation, which it is not).
So on my first attempt to add the character (before the fix) obviously wrote something to the database that prevents that character from being added "again".
Just a heads up that there might be a bunch of characters with the same problem.

Well, this will be my little expriment: I kindly asked for a remake of my char and a GM kindly offered me a one-off recustomization, which I have used to remake my character.
As she was already competing, I will watch how the new apearance influences her performance...

I have noticed the same thing (that chars don't come up often). Im guessing its because a lot of people will add their characters,but wont actually play it unless they are having a quiet 5-10 minutes while waiting for something (or like me that just need to find some exuse to stay up even if should go to bed ). So i really wouldent worry about it to much...Your character will come up at one point or another,but with this many chars to cycle trough it might take days unless a lot of people decide to start playing at the same time
Also keep in mind that many people will be spending time playing the match game (which is highly addictive btw,great job!) which means that it will be even more quiet on the voting part.

Some have changed, others haven't ..
What perhaps should have been done is copy the portraits to the site's database so they always stay the same and don't adjust with time as we change them.
