Here it is, the New Valhalla!
On the Peer Commendations, we have our first several second level Chancellors, Iron Willed, and Infamous Personas. Congratulations, we honor them first.
On the Persona Listings, like a rocket has come Thalion, recording three wins since the last Valhalla update and soaring to top ranked Steel Player. No shame in The Deliverer at 2nd with 5 podium appearances, and our third ranked player, Wynand, is the only persona with 4 Golds. Congratulations to all. Joining those three new Governors are two new Knights: Nikodemus and HeadHoncho, with two wins apiece. Many personas made significant moves in Valhalla - well done.
The Witchlord remains atop the Kingdom rankings, The Dark Elves came rampant and went from none to three podium appearances. The Red Dragons and Trolls lead with three golds apiece.
Enjoy, and congratulations to all whose names are sung in Valhalla!
Please do not take any of my comments as a personal insult or as a criticism of the game 'Alamaze', which I very much enjoy. Rather, I hope that my personal insight and unique perspective may, in some way, help make 'Alamaze' more fun, a more successful financial venture, or simply more sustainable as a long-term project. Anyone who reads this post should feel completely free to ignore, disregard, scorn, implement, improve, dispute, or otherwise comment upon its content.

I know it is due - intended to update quarterly - but it is a very laborious process that takes about two days to do. Since I haven't had two days off, I haven't started on it.
I was thinking about asking Lord Diamond to take it on (he did a lot of work for us for the Fall of Rome version), but the data is so deep into the bowels of the processing system, to turn it over to someone is almost as much work as doing it.
It is an important part of what is Alamaze, so I may need to commission Cipher to deliver the data to Lord Diamond (if he is willing to do it) to get the update, especially as several games have ended recently.
One important part of Valhalla - the first thing we recognize - are the Peer Commendations. It takes time to find these on the forum and meanwhile some players procrastinate on posting there. We likely will post a new thread just for commendations which must include the rationale for the nomination for Chancellor, Iron Willed, and Infamous.

I am going to work on Valhalla. I am not certain that the report generated distinguishes between game types. That seems to be a manual process. If anyone wants to take a stab at helping me find that data, I will consider using it. That might mean that someone would have to research the forums to help compile a list...

I am happy to help out with forum research LD. Shoot me an email when you see what is needed.
Is there is a clear definition of what each peer commendation is supposed to be for? Does anyone else actually look at those?

Its the most important part of Valhalla. Jumpingfist is helping with that. I will update the Citizenship.
