Methodology

Weekly Loot Report
Collection of data will begin no sooner than 6 PM ET on Sunday. Firstly, the members to be included will be determined. Only those members who have been in the alliance since at least the full current week (joining before Monday) will be included. Then, looting will be recorded. The process is not instantaneous. Changes in looting can occur during data collection; the raw data as read is given.

Data collection period, rankings by raw loot, and notes (if applicable) are provided.


Monthly YTD Loot Report
This report will, after its first instance on 03/01/2019, be available by Wednesday following the last Sunday of the month. Dotchart with members separated into quintiles by YTD total loot; YTD total alliance loot; and table with YTD loot rank, loot total, and medal counts are provided.

In the dotchart, each stratum represents about 20% of YTD total alliance loot. Large approximations may result from data points that straddle the quintiles. For example, in this report, joshOne nearly made it into the first quintile, but by a very slight majority more of his looting belonged to the second quintile, so he was placed there, which therefore caused the second quintile to be significantly more than 20% and the first quintile to be significantly less than 20%--though this was the best approximation.
