Mario Party Party Tracker update (Unfinished)

The Mario Party Party Tracker My goal is to be done with this thing and to be able to write a somewhat compelling report by the time Mario Party Party 7 is scheduled to happen (which I'm guessing would be live at PAX West in a few months).

My goal is to be done with this thing and to be able to write a somewhat compelling report by the time Mario Party Party 7 is scheduled to happen (which I'm guessing would be live at PAX West in a few months). The way the main charts are graphed is to show who is in the lead by the percentage of Stars/Coins that are owned that's available on the board. Stars are of course weighted to be the most important thing to have.
To make the graphs work, I'm currently saying the value of coins is 1/160th the value of stars. I got that number because the results of Mario Party Party 4 wouldn't make sense if Brad wasn't the winner in the end.
So, I've come a long way and I currently like the way everything is laid out so far. There's some interesting narratives that can be found out of these results (one being that despite never winning, Jeff isn't THAT far behind Drew for overall second place in the metagame that can be played out).But, I'm definitely not done yet. If there are some suggestions of things that needs to be added, please throw them out there. I know that I will need to be working more on a better formula to come up with an "Excitement Index", as well as to add a better way to show the "big swings" since the percentage changes didn't quite give me what I wanted in big plays (I need to have amount of stars changes instead of percentage changes).
Anyways, enjoy looking through my insanity.
