every time i check it never show when 18 players are online at one time never why is that i can go and see 18 players in the list but when i look at game trackers info it always has double players in it like players 1,2,3,3,3,5,5,6,7,8,8,8,9,9,10,11,11,11 why some times there are 4 #6 some times 4 #9 but when i view it on my rcon there are 18 not 9 total but when i review my logs for months it never shows that it has had 18 ever why and by the way i have the logs files to show that it has and was full for 16 to 25 minutes showing 18 players in there and playing but the game tracker window says it was last updated like 10 seconds ago but no 18 players why please advise me on how to fix if at all possible thanks admin owner ascesnipers.com server ranked 1098 out of 9174

I'll try to respond to what I think you are saying, but if you have a reply again to this post PLEASE use punctuation. It is very useful.

I think you are confused as to how ranks work. If we have the following players and points

Bob 20
Burn 63
Tedd 1
Joe 20
Flipper 45

we can arrange these on the page to show by who is doing the best. Since "Burn" has the highest total, burn will be number 1. Flipper has the second highest so that player will be number 2. Third place is a tie between Bob and Joe because they have the same point total, therefore, both will be listed as number 3. Tedd will be in last, but tedd will be number 5 since rank 3 consists of two players (so it removes number 4 since rank 3 consists of player 4).

Hopefully now you understand how ranking systems work. You can review your image to see this phenomenon in action.

I think you are also confused on counting the number of players in the server. You can find this information in a few ways:
1. Look in the block above the player list, either in the banner image or below the map image. This will show the number of players in the server since during the last scan of the server.
2. Count the number of players in the online players block. A simple way would be to just look for the highest rank, but also be sure to note that there may be people at the same rank so the player count may be higher than the last rank if there are multiple players at that rank.


I think you are also confused on the historical data image (or server banner) that I believe you are referring to that "there are 18 not 9 total." The images are not a maximum as you seem to think. In order to accurately reflect the actual popularity of the server, we cannot show it this way. The graphs show an average number of players over the last hour. So, as you say, if you had the server full for approximately 20 minutes and it was empty for the remainder, that would mean your average over the past hour was 6.
