I think I get Scout more often than Thief, Adventurer, Chancellor, or Secret Chamber, so I guess I'd have to agree with you.

Really?  I would put Chancellor over all of these.  I mean, it at least has the bare minimum going for it - it's a terminal Silver, which is more than can be said for the others in most conditions.

Woah, too many cards to parse right now.

Skimming through, I noticed Black Market at 74, which should be higher right. I predict some of the Adventures rankings are way off.

Also, Feast Y U No bottom 10.

I'll do what most people probably do -- focus on the top 10 and bottom 10.

KC > Rebuild
My gut still says Cultist > Monty, but really unsure
Ambassador should be higher
Goons is super awesome but should be a bit lower, because it's nothing more than a Militia or Monument in some circumstances, and is ignorable more often than, say, Masq
Scrying Pool should be way higher
I would put Masq > Wharf, but would not fight over it (my main problem with Wharf is that it needs Throne Rooms or villages to really make it powerful, whereas Masq does it's magic just by itself, but I digress)

I would put Transmute and Adventurer as the bottom 2 cards.  I never buy those.  Like ever.  Like, I have played thousands of games since Goko, and have probably bought each maaaaaybe 1 time.  I know I've bought Scout at least a handful of times.
Secret Chamber should be higher, as in above Feast and Stash etc.  It (kind of) shines in several scenarios -- Scrying Pool, Knights, Swindler.  (I know, all cards can shine given the right circumstances; it just seems like SC shines in more oddball situations than it would appear to at first glance.)

As for the other 250 cards... ya they look about right.

EDIT:
I'm somewhat digressing here, but I guess I feel that cards that need other cards to truly be powerful/activated, are overrated.  Take Torturer for example.  1 Torturer is not going to do much.  It's when you can play 3 or 4 per turn when it truly gets powerful.  But in order to do that, you need other village support.  I could make a similar statement about Goons or Wharf.  Don't get me wrong -- these are all wonderful cards.  They just need other things to make them truly shine.  By contrast, Chapel, Masq, Governor, etc. don't need much else to "maximize" their effect, and for that reason, I tend to regard these as probably better than they actually are.  My 2 cents.  Carry on.

I don't think you should. Thief is good when your opponent is relying on good Treasures, Adventurer is good when you need more draw for your engine that already has other good draw but the pile ran out, Chancellor is good with Stash, and Secret Chamber is good with Tactician, Counting House and Scrying Pool. Sometimes, there are edge cases where Scout hurts you less than it usually does, but I can't remember playing a single game where I think Scout was actually worth getting and I've tried to design kingdoms around it.

Scout, Harem, Great Hall, Fishing Village, Woodcutter, Militia, Navigator, Baron, Scavenger, Nomad Camp.

Would that do?

How are the cards ranked?  Did people actually vote on a complete ranking of all cards, or they just ordered by the percentage points from the other lists?

Adventurer is crazy overpriced but has its niches; the times to pick it up are:
-an all base game with chapel and no draw
-a boring colony game
But still, if it were priced at 3, it would be worse than Oracle.

Thief is an OK way to punish an opponent in a KC game for not building a KC engine, and is an actively good card on a Fool's Gold board, but is usually horrible.

Noble Brigand is better than Thief in four ways:
1. Attacks on buy.
2. +1coin when you play.
3. Does something if it doesn't hit treasure.
4. Doesn't trash your opponent's coppers for them,
and yet it is still an awful card. In fact, the one way in which thief is better (hits treasures other than silver and gold) is sufficiently important that for some non-trivial proportion of the rare boards in which you want one of them, Thief is the one that you want.

A couple of people actually ordered all cards. For the rest I took all individual lists and spread the cards out equally.

The last time I bought Adventurer (or at least, the last time I bought Adventurer and it was a good idea) was a game with Scrying Pool, Bishop, and no villages. So I bought Adventurer just because it was a $6 Action (i.e., because I could draw it with Scrying Pool and Bishop it for 4 VP), rather than to actually use it.

And me. So that's more than two. I'm not personally a fan of "a couple" automatically implying two. It's more like 2 + (0 to 3 ) others.

also, that's a lil bit unfair maybe, if it's, like, a ranking of percent scores then chapel gets an advantage because it happens to be so clearly better than all of the other $2s, whereas with the threes or something it's more up in the air.

Really?  I would put Chancellor over all of these.  I mean, it at least has the bare minimum going for it - it's a terminal Silver, which is more than can be said for the others in most conditions.
Secret Chamber's abuse potential makes it much better than Scout too, in my opinion. It's occasionally a decent card and once in a while an awesome card. I'd put it above Chancellor (ok card most of the time), Transmute and Harvest, definitely. (Counting house being a bit further up the list).

How are the cards ranked?  Did people actually vote on a complete ranking of all cards, or they just ordered by the percentage points from the other lists?

A couple of people actually ordered all cards. For the rest I took all individual lists and spread the cards out equally.
a couple of people, like, two people? who was the other guy?

Me.
And me. So that's more than two. I'm not personally a fan of "a couple" automatically implying two. It's more like 2 + (0 to 3 ) others.

Number 4 reporting!
Number 5 is here! Anyway I think that people that took the time to rate ~all of the cards should be weighted because that way we can see how cads of different prices matchup.
Transmute can be a solid consolation prize in a familiar game(to a lesser extent scrying pool)
