Is there a way to trace these and find why they are not pulling to the KB's?
I'm unsure if this is the correct forum, I couldn't see a technical/API thread.

Battle report

Spottington lost an Armageddon to our Rookie ship fleet, but none of the killboards show the loss.
Video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaWH_vAgjk0

There were no self destruct notifications and obviously it did pop. I'm not sure who got killing blow.

Any ideas?

Killboards are 3rd party & CCP has nothing to do with them. The only thing I can really suggest here is either your KB host is having issues or someones API has expired.

So assuming the Victim and the person who got final blow do not have up to date API and they do not manually post, it will never appear?

So my only options are to evemail the 120ish people that were in that fleet and get them to check their kills or update their API?

Or just not worry about it.

I think I'll choose option 2.

For every kill there are 4 parties who get a mail:

The victim
The victim's corporation
The person landing the final blow
That person's corporation.

If none of these four parties posts the mail either manually or through an API pull, there is no way it can get on a killboard.

all that matters is that you know what you did.

who cares about if others can see.

Killboards place artificial importance on 'kills' and 'statistics'; play the game to have fun, shoot nerds to shoot nerds, and explode gloriously in a ball of fire without losing your **** when your name is called.

It's a game, enjoy it for the fun you are having, not the petty statistics some moron in 2005 decided were important.

I think kill mails are more like a picture book about past fights, when you look at those some old mails you may remember things that you else would have forgotten.

Personally i do not like ranking , too good rank lowers your possibilities to get fights.

Anyway statistics tell lot of about players if you can read those right, having good stats or bad stats or ranking does not directly tell if you are good player or bad player some players just play on way that gives lot of points and some takes higher risks and possibly lose more but can still be overall better players.

Important thing is that you are pleased on your doings on long term, you should not care much what others think about your stats or single killmails.

If i lose ship to noobie ship blob i would be really pleased and posting it to everywhere to show that someone managed to have real fun with me.
