Before the blog begins, I'd like to mention that this blog was made in collaboration with a Snap player. I see you coming, no it's not Changedaworld. It's zWallaby, an emerging Snap player who leant a hand to help collecting data for this blog. Also, aesthetic improvements were made, and new sections were added. Hope you'll enjoy !
Leaderboard
There are three leaderboards in every game mode of Geography Snap. More precisely, the 5 fastest players per day, per week and since the beginning of Geography Snap (well, only since October 26th 2020, not 25th). Well, the player Changedaworld invented a points system according to the rank of a player in any leaderboard. Here it is :
1st place : 7 points
2nd place : 5 points
3rd place : 3 points
4th place : 2 points
5th place : 1 point
So, if we take every old game mode (game modes that were there before the November 2022 update), take the 5 best players in these All-Time leaderboards, and assign points according to their ranks, we get this leaderboard for the month of February 2024 :
| Rank | Player | Number of Points | Number of Points Evolution | Rank Evolution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | SilverDog | 279 | +4 | = |
| 2nd | Changedaworld | 261 | -4 | = |
| 3rd | Dagod | 108 | = | = |
| 4th | Batman23 | 30 | = | = |
| 5th | Sammyboi | 24 | = | = |
| 6th | pappus1232 | 17 | +1 | = |
| 7th | tamara | 13 | = | = |
| 8th | BI | 9 | = | = |
| 9th | KonevRokossovsky | 8 | = | = |
| 10th | smirkymyjens | 7 | -1 | -1 |
| anahita | 7 | = | = | |
| 11th | MarcelVos | 6 | = | = |
| 12th | Dontforget | 5 | = | = |
| 13th | Chaddius | 4 | = | = |
| Hageball | 4 | = | = | |
| yawnofthedead | 4 | = | = | |
| 14th | GameyTV | 3 | = | = |
| merpell | 3 | = | = | |
| nimbru | 3 | = | = | |
| 15th | Albmaralb | 2 | = | = |
| backstreetben | 2 | = | = | |
| 16th | hfgsy | 2 | = | -1(TB) |
| PowerGuiido | 2 | = | -1(TB) | |
| pseudocraul | 2 | = | -1(TB) | |
| 17th | CaptWillard | 1 | = | -1(UTB) |
| MarkScholten | 1 | = | -1(UTB) | |
| Stewart | 1 | = | -1(UTB) | |
| Tmnight | 1 | = | -1(UTB) | |
| Transvaal | 1 | = | -1(UTB) | |
Well, that is the result of an idea proposed by zWallaby : a tiebreaker !
Basically, it works by taking the multiple people who have the same number of points, and looking at their ranks in the leaderboards they are in. In that case, the tiebreaker goes thus :
- Albmaralb & backstreetben : both are 4th in one game mode each.
- hfgsy, PowerGuiido & pseudocraul : all of them are 5th in two game modes each.
Now of course, the "Rank Evolution" column will not be fair for this specific blog, that's why 2 acronyms were created :
- TB : Ranks that were affected due to a tiebreaker involving the people in that rank
- UTB (Unrelated Tiebreaker) : Ranks that were affected due to a tiebreaker that is not involving the people in that rank
Speaking of 1-point players, a "red zone" has been instaured (symbolized by a red bar), in which players are in danger of getting ousted off the leaderboard, because of their lonely point.
Out of the new features and fixes :
- Colours for 4th and 5th places !
- Colours for cell borders !
- Fixed an issue where the bottom-left cell would not have a border on it's lower side.
Ranks Stats
The player who's the 1st in the most categories is... SilverDog, being first in 27 game modes.
The player who's the 2nd in the most categories is... Changedaworld, being second in 18 game modes.
The player who's the 3rd in the most categories is... Dagod, being third in 30 game modes.
The player who's the 4th in the most categories is... Dagod, both being fourth in 9 game modes.
The player who's the 5th in the most categories is... Sammyboi, being fifth in 10 game modes.
Now, here is the top-5 of the players who are on the most All-Time top-5s :
| Rank | Player | Number of All-Time top-5s |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Changedaworld | 45 |
| SilverDog | 45 | |
| 2nd | Dagod | 39 |
| 3rd | Batman23 | 17 |
| Sammyboi | 17 | |
| 4th | pappus1232 | 9 |
| 5th | tamara | 8 |
- 3 of them are in 3rd place
- 2 of them are in 4th place
- 5 of them are in 5th place
Times Stats
Out of all 225 All-Time top-5s times, 8 were improved, including 2 World Records ! Here they are, broken down by game mode !
| Game Mode | Rank | Improvement |
|---|---|---|
| Countries Easy | 1st | 0.2s |
| Flags Hard | 5th | 0.1s |
| Shapes Hard | 3rd | 0.9s |
| Countries & Shapes Easy |
2nd | 0.1s |
| Capitals & Shapes Hard |
4th | 0.3s |
| Flags & Shapes Medium |
2th | 0.5s |
| Countries, Flags & Shapes Easy |
1st | 0.1s |
| 2nd | 0.3s |
If we add every top-5 time in every old game mode, we get to...
2132.5 seconds, or 35 minutes and 32.5 seconds !
That's 2.5 seconds that were cut off during February !
If we only take the 1st time in every All-Time, we get to...
315,2 seconds, or 5 minutes and 15.2 seconds !
That's 0.3 seconds that were cut off during February !
Ever since the first Snap Stats blog (June 2022), a total of
811.3 seconds, or 13 minutes and 31.3 seconds
have been cut off from the sum of every old top-5 times, and
198.9 seconds, or 3 minutes and 18.9 seconds
from the sum of every old 1st place.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this month has been fine. Seeing players like pappus1232 continuing to grind after multiple months is just what the game needs to be alive, and I appreciate that. World Records are getting broken again, which is a good sign too. Anyway I hope that you liked the new format of this blog, and I'd like to thank zWallaby for helping me finding a new and quicker way to gather data, to have tried it together and proved that it works !
