As we where forced out of tournament my casualties summaries are no more used. But maybe for those still participating, this can be interesting (especially compared with previous tournament casualties):

A 3 period moving average may give a greater degree of confidence in the trends.  Are you taking the average of period 0, -1, -2 and comparing to period -1, -2, -3 for the trending (can give an indication of a trend is in ascension or descent)?

Also, are you taking into account the alliances at war, and not in the tournament?

Nothing like that at all. This was the most basic of extrapolation. I simply calculated the average slope of the line over 2 days and projected a line 5 days into the future based off of that slope.

As someone else indicated earlier this sort of extrapolation in this type of scenario has very large error bars for anything more then a couple of days out.

I really did it more to start a discussion and start to think about what can be done.

Cheers,

-A

You are more than welcome Grainne, as you may know I took first place in my league in tourney #4 and throughly enjoyed working with my alliance to win tourney #5, it is with a heavy heart I can not compete in this tourney, but my mission to clean Illy of bullies calls me away.  Take care
