Anyway my 2 cents enjoy mentioning some of the great cc players but i think it becomes very hard to differentiate the top 10 or so
The closest to an official best player is the conqueror. And seeing how King_Herpes has reached the most points as conqueror I think most of us lean towards ignoring the overall scoreboard. Medals says something but far from everything. Number of games played also says something, maps played on as well. But still the title "best cc player" will always be very subjective.
if you are saying highest score equates to being the best player you are sadly mistaken...this being said by someone who has a top 10 all time score. Simply put it is very easy to manipulate your score to get to the top though specific games. King Herpes did it through city mogul and foeing anyone with clickable maps, i did it through oasis farming with lower ranked teammates so i could win more/lose less points. Medals say nothing either...sure they are nice and you have to work to get them but anyone can play 1000's of games and get a bunch of medals even if they win a low percentage of their games. Number of games/Maps played says nothing about the skill of a player...just because you have played lots of gamed does not mean you are strategically sound, and on the same line of thought and just because you have played lots of maps does not mean you are good at them.
If you read my post again I think you'll find that we hold the same opinion. Maybe I worded it poorly. I'll sum up what I meant to say: High score is not important just look at King Herpes, Medals says little but not much, games played also says something but not much and people will always debate who the best cc player is.
