Looking at the top lists again today and it struck me that there are players that are part of teams that haven't played a match in 3 years. Not that I want to cement myself at the top of any top lists undeservedly but...

it seems like a complete misnomer to say that they are active if the coach has been AFK from Fumbbl for years. Maybe change Active to merely "Living" or somesuch. Or add an additional filter to active which is "played in last X (Months, Days, Weeks)

Just an idea on how to make the top lists more representative of activity.

I'd say the criteria 'played at least 1 game in the last 2 months'. 'played at least 3 games in the last 6 months' and 'played at least 5 games in the last year' should all be met for the 'active' label.

Just change 'Active' to 'Alive' and it all makes sense.

(I'm assuming all non-RIP retired players get taken out back and shot)

"They shoot wardancers, don't they?"

Although for all intents and purposes, retired players might as well be dead for all we care - unless people start taking up the mantle of writing extensive fluff for their players, I just assume every retired player commits suicide because they are deprived of the glory of the game (and they've suffered multiple blows to the head resulting in cognitive and emotional difficulties)

another problem that i've noticed on the top lists is that you can't specify a race but not specify a division, which is quite annoying

You mean, specific leagues? The Ranked and Box selections work swimmingly.

He means you can't, for example, specify Chaos for all divisions. To find out who is the top scoring beastman on FUMBBL means checking for each division separately.

Ah, I get it and see it in practice now. Yeah, that'd be a nice one to put in too.

A little too harsh no? I am not even an active coach by these standards Sad

Fine as in "accurately captures criteria it was set for". Not fine as in "presents useful and timely information for people who ponder such things".

Its not really fun to compare my players to someone who has essentially retired their team from play and camping the top spots.

I think what Garion is saying, at a guess, is "it's fine compared to other things I'd rather see worked on beforehand".

Oh OK. 1 game in three months. If you can't manage that then you're not exactly 'active'.
