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.
1) We have an open policy of posting all kill and loss mails. If anyone does find that a lossmail is missing from the bob killboard after about 24 hours, please evemail that person's CEO with the details.
2) The bob killboard has statistics for fleet battles (via the fleet battles link) and daily totals (linked via the date), as well as for individuals. These go back to the start of eve, so you can see the kill/loss ratios back to 2004. If you look at historical statistics, you will see that the present day's statistics are representative of the statistics from past days, months and years.
Also if you watch closely, you will see that most mails are posted within a few hours, and pretty much all within 24 hours.
3) Yes that is a problem, but as others have said, allies rarely make up more than 10% of our fleets. This can be verified this via the fleet battle feature where, all combatants involved in kills are listed, including allies (even if allied losses are not given).
This extra 5-10% of allies hardly make a significant dent in our kill to loss ratios.
You may also notice from the fleet battle feature that bob pilots regularly engage larger fleets and win.
4) The daily, fleet battle and individual kill/loss statistics are broken down by ship type (i.e. frigates, interceptors, HACs etc.) If you go back through a the fleet battles, you will see that bob do not use unusually massive numbers of HACs.
As for the BS ratio, which is the only one given on the main page. No single statistic will ever be representative. If you want to understand things better you need to look at the detailed statistics, which are easily accesable.
What the number of BS kills is a very good guide to, however, is fleet activity. On a slow day maybe there might be less than 10 BS killed and lost. When big fleet battles occur there will be hundreds.
