I don't understand how the ranking works. It just looks like the more you play the higher you ranking goes. I went home last week and played for three or four days, a few hours a day, and my ranking went from like 50,000 or something up to 20,000. Then it panned out when I stopped playing? If I had kept playing would it just keep going up?
Hehe that ranking thing gives me a really low ranking!! it is teh suX <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> (playing tag is [OV]BlueGhost)
Its rediculas having an auto ranking on NS tho, there's ONE thing which you could get a rank on I'd like to see and thats win/losses when commanding. Problem is then no one would take over from a bad com so No, NO STATS!
Afterall you could kill 0 but if your the sneaky sneaky marine who gets into their hive and builds a phase gate you've done far more for your team than some rambo who got 100 of leet skulk killzz.

You won't really see who're the best players until the leagues come out and everyone gives NS it's best shot =) I'm myself pretty good, when I'm warmed of course, and working to be in the top 3/top 3 clans ^^
As of my part of answering your question, I can't really tell.. People don't do as in one match as in another, so it can be hard to tell. I don't dare answer this one.. But damn, I saw a guy named Alpha today, and though we were the losing team I thought he was doing damned good on his own.. Often killed groups of 3 skulks that attacked him from all sides =/ Ahh, he hurts! Hehe, well, other than that, I'd think a few of the top clans' players are good, AcKz, FireWater, them iwa guys, et cetera.

I think you mean "relative" :)
If this ranking system works the same way as every other system i've seen, which it probably does, then it operates by scanning a list of servers continually and recording stats. It records the fragscore of players over a given time period by repeatedly scanning the server, then ranks players based on their best frags/time period ratio over a week (or longer). The last system i saw used a 'best hour' system, where your best hour in terms of frags accumulated is used to determine your ranking.
Basically this means that in order to get a high ranking, you simply have to score as many frags as possible in an hour, and that can be any hour you happen to play during the week before the system resets. Consequently putting in as much playing time as possible is usually more important than actually being good, and only frags are counted - not your contribution to the game. In NS, this sort of system is completely worthless for judging player skill.
The reason (1)NSPlayer is at the top of the ladder is simple - many different people will all play under this name. The ranking system makes no distinction between different computers, only different player names, so everyone who plays as (1)NSPlayer gets counted as a single person. This means the total playing time for (1)NSPlayer is probably higher than for any other name in the ladder, which greatly increases the chances of it getting to the top.
A couple of the best players I play with: *dead*chair (great com, marine and alien), [DTE]Knifey, Ryhb[216] and .cA|Semi. Having one of them in your team can often turn the tide of the war.

so the things there are NOT acurate or even usable becouse there are allot of players that are allot better then most of the ppl in the top 100 in csports.net but they aren't listed there becouse they don't play that much
about 20,000 people play every NS everyday.
that website is amazing, i never thought anything like that was possible on the internet. God knows what teh FBI carnivore program can do.
NSPlayer is ranked 43?!?!?! I seriously doubt the accuracies of this data. How could the average nub be ranked 43.
