Apologies, this is what happens when you try to update the site on a slow WiFi. The update that I canceled which was missing a configuration file (usernames and password for database) apparently went through anyway.

The site is up and running now and EVE Profile links should be fixed.

There's definitely a 'moment of zen' while running thru the pairings. I dig it.

I think I just voted 100 times. Glad there wasn't adwords right next to the buttons... just saying lol

Are you accepting advertising deals for the site?

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

I am very much against advertisements. They greatly bring down the user experience quality, in return for a very little passive income. There won't be those kind of annoying ads on this site, ever.

Most cloud computing hosting providers these days have a free tier, and a domain name can be bought for $10 a year, or 2 lattes at Starbucks.

But If it's a small unobtrusive ad from another EVE Online community fansite who will in exchange promote New Eden Faces on their website, I would consider it.

Had a lot of fun with the old one and something tells me i will be spending quite some time on this one as well Big smile

One thing tho, you might want to consider a "skip voting" option or similar. In some cases there has been characters without a portrait showing up, and in others there has been some that is.. very difficult to make a decision on which one looks the best/worst.
Maybe ad in an option with, both are good, both are bad and a report option for character without a portrait? Unless that was already there and i missed it Smile

But anyway, +1 to the OP!

I've been digging the site, tons of fun and it's nice to see the faces of my fellow capsuleers.
Also I am a sexy beast and proud of it.

There are only three things worth nothing in Eve; ISK; Skill Points and Getting Blown up. Once you learn this, the universe truly sets you free.

I need some feedback on this before i make the change. Right now the leaderboard is sorted by the Elo rating, and as you may have noticed it's pretty volatile. One moment you are there, the next moment you are not in even Top 100 anymore. Death Cell who's been #1 a few hours ago is now #50.

Death Cell has a winning percentage of 0.73, while the current character in the #3 position has a winning percentage of 0.72. Someone with a higher winning percentage is #50 and the one with a lower winning percentage is #3.

I think it would be slightly more accurate to sort leaderboards by the winning percentage. But if everyone enjoys currently fast-paced leaderboard then I will leave it as is.

@NightCrawler 85: I will add the report button in the next update. As for the skip button, I thought about it, in the end I think it will encourage people not to vote on a lot of portraits. You could just skip hundreds of them and vote only on the ones you like, thus creating a gap between highly attractive characters with high wins/losses count vs unattractive characters with low win/losses count.

I had not considered this but it makes sense, thank you for explaining Smile

Some of the matchups :) (Not sure how you could vote against the likes of Punkturis, or Alice though)

Kudos on the site. And I was amazed at the creativity of many of the avatars.

It was a special thrill to vote for Backdoor Bandit, but I didn't see him in the Top 100.

One thing, would it be possible to put in a "pass" button?

Looking at the top avatar, I might very likely win.
