To respond to the OP, reasons I found Bobs killboard to be inaccurate (and it's been a long time since I was in the south) were.
1 Bob do not always post their losses
2 When they do post their losses they are often slow about it so they do not appear on any daily K/D ratio
3 Bob killboard does not show allied deaths but shows all kills a Bob member was involved in even if he was just 1 member in a fleet battle
4 Bob killboard shows Battelship K/D ratios yet Bob fly a lot of tech II cruisers.
Non of the above are unique to Bob and help to explain many great looking stats around the various allaince/merc killboards.
Slowly some killboards have attempted to address this with points sytems and isk values, but until there is a universal killboard then we can enjoy the speculation we have about who has the biggest best and most impressive K/D ratio and if CAOD wasn't arguing about K/D then it would soon find something else to whine about.
Were Bob have been out ahead of other allainces in the past is in the K/D ratio chest beating, but even that has died down to more normal levels in the last 6-12 months now they are taking a beating.
1. BoBs killboard is as accurate as that of any alliance in the coallition, if not moreso.
2. BoB post losses quicker than most coallition alliances do (when BoB killboard didnt let us pull mails our pilots were involved in, we had to go pull them from the losers kb and, surprise surprise, they often weren't there) It does take up to an hour to update, but this is also true for kills.
3. This point is true, but as is often pointed out, BoB doesnt have many allies left. Also the same could be said of almost any other alliance, and to a greater degree.
4. lol, what?. BoB fleets are mostly made up of battleships, roaming gangs contain more HAC's etc, just like every other alliance. The bs k/d ratio is used because it is the surest way to tell how well an allianceis doing in the big fights. Anyone wanting to know the k/d ratios for any other types of ships just needs to click on the date in question.
