Google Doc Leaderboards

2013-08-24 12:28:05 pm

Hey

I know the idea of Leaderboards is all over the place with the SRL topic about but recently I have found some google doc leaderboards, for Jak and Daxter, and then one that was Spyro/Crash/Ape Escape... but the problem is that the way to get to google docs is through a link, and you cant really search them up and find them with ease on google. Unlike other games like Zelda and Dk that have their established websites.

Maybe there should be a central place for one to with ease find the leaderboards for games instead of looking through Twitch accounts to find links. Or scanning through SDA forums to find them.

This would only be a good idea if Google Doc Leaderbords are a popular trend now, I mean maybe there is a reason I only found 2, because they are not yet popular. idk what do you guys think?

Google Docs itself isn't sustainable because, as you said, it's tough to find things. Also, huge spreadsheets and documents aren't very friendly to navigate. I see them more as a stopgap measure until a better solution presents itself. You don't have to go hunting for everything, but you could start indexing these Google Docs as you find them, as an immediate solution. That slowly fixes the search all over creation problem and makes them available for more permanent solutions.

Hey

You have seen them out there? I can always try to collect some but who knows maybe this next solution will come first. Good be a good idea for a post though if have them alot, but I feel I would wind up putting them into a google doc haha.

I haven't seen them myself, just commenting on them and their usefulness over the long term. You could always make a page on the KB for what you've found. Then it's searchable and anyone on this site can edit it. Smiley

I've switched between creating Google Spreadsheets and using wikia for leaderboards. The following games or series...es that I know of have leaderboards:

Paper Mario series (Google doc)
Mega Man series (Wikia)
Super Mario World (Cronikeys wiki)
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (Google doc)
Donkey Kong Country series + related games (various)
New Super Mario Bros. series (various)
Spyro, Ape Escape, Crash Bandicoot (various)
Goldeneye, Perfect Dark (The-elite)
Sonic series (Sonic center)
Diddy Kong Racing (Google doc)
Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 (Google doc)
Zelda series (ZSR)

...and I'm sure there are others. Those were the ones I could think of atm.

Hey

Where would I put this page in the KB? because it seems like I can only make pages for the strategy wiki, and those pages are all for individual games... anyone have any clue?

HELLO!

Well ideally you'd make game pages for all the games you link to boards for, and link to the boards as external resources.
