    Wow. That's...rather well done.

    Was it all from scratch or was there some sort of template? And there was an API to grab a certain person's forum posts?

    I hacked together some wordpress plugins to accomplish what I wanted rather than code from scratch icon_e_smile.gif

    An API would be amazing but wouldn't filter out all his casual posts, so right now the tracker's just maintained by a team of highly trained monkeys equipped with snark filters.

    Very nicely done. It's hilarious how instead of a red tracker (Riot Games) or blue tracker (Blizzard Entertainment) we have an IceIX tracker.

    I'll rank for a while, great idea. Though I wonder how hard it'll be for new characters to get integrated into the rating.

    Because of the ELO system, once rankings are stabilized with a wider spread from 1400, it'll take relatively few votes to place new characters icon_e_smile.gif

    I think the system is spitting out semi-random character match ups. So, it is possible that a ton of people saw some thing like: Psylocke vs. Bagman, Psylocke vs. Yelene, Psylocke vs. C. Hawkeye etc. before stopping rating.

    Really odd. It didn't seem to count those votes, so maybe a connection error of some sort.
