Suicide counter

Add a counter somewhere that is basically a sum of all the suicides on the ladder.

should do it by player and see what percentage jedi contributes to all suicides on the ladder

No no, just a sum across pilots. ^_^ "3,467 pyros have self-destructed on the DCL!"

Tragically, there's no way to do it by player. Phyrex 20, Lee 14, Phyrex 15 deaths / Lee 21 deaths. That's what you get in game, and if there's a way to tell who suicided, I don't know what it is. There are a couple inconvenient ways to get direct suicides, but I don't know of a surefire method that counts reactor kills as suicides, too. That's why it's reported the strange way that it is.

I guess . . . there might be someone who could fix that . . .

In the mean time, it's data we don't have going backward in time. But we could theoretically look at suicides in aggregate across the ladder. Shoot, I guess I'd be curious about how many kills and deaths there have been, too. Might be neat to add up. We're getting close to 11,000 games played. That's a lot of dying.

Who cares about the reactor, no one loves it. Just assume it's a suicide or something. ^_^
