Huge Update

Trozz just dethroned FuddDX for top of the blog list. I can't believe I was here to see it happen!

Ever since SC2 came out, I’ve been seeing the league structure everywhere I look. Any time or place when things are placed in a vague rank order, my instinct is to divide things into the top eight, twenty five and fifty to see who would manage to distinguish themselves and who would lie at the bottom.

I remembered that there used to be a way to show TL’s blog list in order of who had the most number of consistent high ratings the other day, and spent a few minutes digging up the page that showed it. Hopefully this will encourage some people to try to micro their punctuation better, or push with an early punchline or maybe to see if they can get ahead by playing the long game and providing some sweet content for fellow TLers

The best thing about this is that it will allow Masters level bloggers to reply to other people’s posts with, “I’m a Master League blogger, and I’m pretty sure your problem is that your effective WPM is just too low.” Eventually people will have to post replays of them typing their blog.

So then I wasted more time than I should have throwing together some images:

Masters League:

Diamond:

I think if I work really hard maybe I can get promoted next season!

Platinum:

I was going to do more, but it was taking far too long. If anyone wants to find out their own standing then have a poke at the page that lists all of the blog rankings. If you really want, you can obsess about it and not post for fear of dragging down your average (just like when I don’t play SC2 for weeks on end for fear of being demoted).

I am SO prepared for this to get rated one star a million times.

Is there going to be a search feature so I can find out my rank?

What a great search feature, took only a few minutes. Faster than hitting that refresh rankings button on sc2ranks.

5/5 ez

I'm pretty sure I started in Bronze, but now I'm consistently playing Diamond players. I hope to get promoted to at least Gold soon. :[

Sigh, I only wish I could be on one of these lists, but there seems to be some trolls that go to every one of my blogs, past and present, and rate them 1 star.

I know some people have some extra time on their hands, but c'mon, theres gotta be something better for them to do than grief...

Yeah, I'm too scared to even obs his blogs anymore. Sometimes I used to comment on his and Trozz, but I don't think I even really understand enough about their decision-making to offer any real insight.

It's not actually that bad, your average puts you at 2.15, which is just ahead of recent regular poster Platorepublic and often-blogger Froadac.

Don't click the below spoiler unless you have a strong stomach.

This shot is the bottom ten blogs at the moment. Curiously, there are a fair few regularly updated blogs in there:

Sorry the news isn't better, but maybe you'll be able to do better coming into next season :D

Meh, i guess all those 1s from when i theorycrafted in blogs really brought my overall score down. My only real successful blogs were my one about First time driving on the highway, my Toronto Vacation blog, A blog showing off my Xmas presents and Complaining about phising e-mails.

Now I know what I should write about next season. Checking my e-mail while driving through Toronto on the highway and finding a bunch of phishing e-mails that offer me things I asked for at Xmas if i log into their site.

Yeah, I didn't mean to, but my display wouldn't show the whole list, so when I went screenshotting there were chunks that went missing

Thing about blogs is that if they don't post a blog in some while then they dont show up in the rankings :O
