I don't think I have ever been the daily TC number 1, so I had to capture that moment
Looking forward to that downswing.

Mr. $tat$ king: do you know what is the average DC win% of the players?
You can calculate by (total amount of wins)*100/(total amount of players) over some large period of time.
I would expect something like 6-7%

When Derwi posted a couple of weeks ago about 2nd place finishes, it got me thinking about normal distribution of placings in DCs. So, I stole some data from the fine work nails does, and made a table depicting a breakdown of 2018 DC placing distributions.
The table is below.
A few comments and observations.
-There were a total of 8571 DC games played in 2018, resulting in an average of 23.48 players per day.
-Not surprisingly, the mode for placing is 1st. 6.97% of all games played were wins. After that there is about a 2% drop to 2nd place, and then a steady but slight drop off in each spot right to 9th place (with 6th and 7th showing an anomaly). Also 4th and 5th are almost identical. Both are probably due to sample size.
-With placing percentages done, it was simple to project what a perfectly average DC players' 2018 would look like. He/she starts with 25 wins, then drops off with 2nd to 10th having a pretty tight range (a high of 18 and a low of 15 in each placing). They have 199 placings at 11th or worse.
Of course there is no such thing as "perfect" distribution in real life, and things will obviously change if we are looking at more or less than 23.5 players per DC, but I thought some people might find this interesting.
In the orange player slot I can put in actual results for anybody who played in 2018. I did my own and it took about 5 minutes.
Looking at your placings of 1st to 4th or even 1st to 5th (and how far each differs from average) might give you some indication of running hot for wins or running bad for wins in 2018. It does not matter how close to average you are, a "relative" comparison will show placings that jump out as high or low outliers.
Of course if you played every DC in "win or bust" mode the results may not be as meaningful. Your playing style might results in a relatively lower percentage of placings from (4th to 10th), for example.. Or, it may not...who knows.
Anyway, if you want your 2018 placings put in the table and PMd to you just PM me. Or I can drop them right ITT if you want. Up to you if you want to share.

It looks like 6.97% was the ave win % that year. 597 wins in 8571 player games. Player pool is larger now, so ave wins is probably down. Plus a larger sample size might change things slightly.
And yeah, stats guru nails probably has a large pool of games to draw upon.

Hello all,
A bit of a shameless plug. Hope you do not mind.
You may remember me from clubpoker, i am organising a yearly friendly competition there and I was the cause of some influx of players a few times last year (some of you suspected a school assigment).
I am here to promote a game i built whose idea was definitely inspired by triplechain : Flipette.
Flipette is a not easy but fun logic-based number puzzle where player must draw the best possible self-avoiding walk in a square grid. I can see some traction and i am starting to promote it to communities i believe could enjoy it.
The goal is to find the highest possible path in a grid with the highest score possible. Each square you cross affects your score. The twist is that 'F' boxes reverse the order of your score digits: 109 becomes 901.
Your feedback are very welcome to improve the game. Especially since I am not native english, you may want to challenge how rules are explained on the website and help me better phrase it.
To discover and play you can go to https://flipette.com/
A past fun puzzle that had a lot of success is #141 : https://flipette.com/?id=141
Thank you All ! And long live the TripleChain community !

Awesome game ! I’m sure a lot of the community soon will integrate the daily grid to their daily routine, on top of the TC Daily challenge :-)
PS: there is some kind of community challenge going on with Reddit in the leaderboard, time to make 2+2 / TC shine

Total DCs played (number of DCs x number of players) = 116,545
Total wins (including shared wins) = 7,153
Winning percentage (Total Wins / Total DCs played) = 6.1%
By coincidence, 6.1% is the winning percentage for the first nine months of this year. Last year, the average winning percentage was 7.5%. More players and fewer shared wins this year.

For sure..
If Zac had time ( and I doubt he does) it would be nice if that Challenge wins list on the left side was able to toggle to a different leaderboard each day. Maybe from the current "Career DC Challenge Wins" one day, to "Calendar Year DC Wins" the next day, and then "Career DC win%," the next day, and then maybe back to Career Challenge Wins...
Could be a couple of other boards of interest in their too.
