I'd like to know how many players are in each of the four different factions. I think my faction has less players than others as at day 3 we have been in bottom spot each day. I'm sure I've been shafted. I'm in SHAFTLAW

I am pretty sure this Is the case. Instead of putting players in random teams, they filled them in order which makes no sense. I am in Rico, Always getting third place.

imagine if all teams have equal number of players, some teams have more grinders than others. almost all teams will get same position everyday, because the missions dont require skill but rather time/grinding. so the team which got last on day 1, had least amount of grinders. so likely it will get last on all subsequent days as well. I am from rico, and i know i will get 3rd everytime for duration of this event.

first two teams are always very close on score, so they might trade position on same days between each other due to random luck or other factors.

 

another proof of this is that the order of teams stays same throughout the day. team get in their respective order just few hours into the day and retain that order rest of the day. the percentages grow, but order stays the same.

 

so getting same team position everyday is the expected outcome. you just needed the outcome of first day to know what outcome will be for the rest of the days.

If the teams are filled with random players, then all teams over the course of the event should stay close in %.

I do not think when you buy the pass that it is random when a team is selected for you.

There is roughly 4% between 4th and 3rd and the same between 3rd and 2nd/1st.

4% seems the norm and will probably continue like this until the end.

Shaftlaw are doomed to failure, they were from the end of day one. Waste of tankoins/rubies for anyone who bought the pass.

The price of the prizes is also to much and they are not very good. Legendary key price is a joke, as is crisis and armadillo.

Lets face it, all these excelsior augments WILL be nerfed. This is a very, very bad event and as always far to pricey.

i think the difference between teams is because tanki online's diminishing population. If population is small, and teams are randomly assigned, statistical anomalies can arise from outliers. as the population increases, the effect of outliers diminish and the percentage merge towards median. 

now, if tanki had big player base, and still there was this big of difference between teams, that would have been concerning (statistically speaking).

 

another alternate would have been to redistribute players between teams every day. That way, there would be more variance in ranking of teams.

Never gonna happen.

Their useless game mechanics which they will never change (because of greed) has seen TO become a joke.

I have asked them ONE particular question about a hundred times, still no answer.

pathetic.

If the ranking is actually percentage based than a smaller team merely means each player grinding matters more not that you are garenteed last.

Its funny how these faction events are almost always so predetermined lol, like there never seems to be any major variation in the standings xD And its this way for years, thats why I never participate in any of these faction based events, complete load of crap.
