TWInspect - a tool for monitoring player activity

[SiTLar]

Take a look at TWInspect. This tool collects information about players witch can be useful for military or tribe management purposes. It allows you to see how many point each player have scored every day during last 7 days. I made TWInspect to monitor the activity of my tribesmen. It helped me easily figure out inactive players to speed them up. After a while a new obvious use of TWInspect was discovered: one can examine his rival tribe to find inactive players or ones who use the simcity tactics. It worked for me and may work for you.

It's pretty awesome, good job. You made it, right?

[needsclan]

nice work there

[SiTLar]

Thanks! I'm very happy that it's useful.

You made it, right?

Yup

[bwja2]

Thats a really great tool dude, if you made it your really good.

[netti]

great tool :D we used to have sth like this in a tribe, but ony one person had access to database and could make reports. I like this! (i don;t like that my oponents can see it as well, though )

This will be a fantastically useful tool for gathering intel about an enemy's activity... but what does the column titled "performance" mean?

That's the guaranty that you have correct information

Oh, I've forgot to describe it. It's a virtual coefficient, an attempt to estimate the overall activity of a player. For each day I divide the amount of points the player scored that day by the amount of points he had when the day started. Then I make an average over all 7 days and divide it by 0.007 to make he the data more representable.

To make a long story short, when you click on "performance" the players are sorted by the average point increase over 7 days.

It's absolutely legal:

§10) Bots and Scripts


The game is to be played with a normal browser only. Bots, browser add-ons and other applications that automate game activities are forbidden.
Scripts (like greasemonkey scripts) that alter the normal game interface to change game activity are forbidden.
Off-site tools are allowed as long as they do not automatically collect information from players' accounts and do not automatically send information, orders or messages to accounts. They are, however, allowed to automatically use the world data provided by us.

I only use world data, so I'm not breaking any rules.

Very good, why don't you provide it with some diagrams, of course I don't mean something like progress line that is already used in TWstats and others because they aren't explicit! I think since you separate daily point increase, diagrams would be more accurate.

Adding some diagrams would not be a problem. Can you specify what exactly you want to be shown?

[Free-eek]

I like the way it is, nice and clean. Too much would just clutter it.

[ibo321]

This is really interesting. It'll be useful.

[beetsy]

I dont think diagrams would help, it seems like they would only muck up the layout, especially when there are whole tribes displayed. Maybe you could move the actual part that you fill out up the page a little bit, I hate going to the very bottom to enter. Maybe I am just picky though.
