DEFEND YOUR RANK DONT PROTECT IT
Posted: Fri Jun 01, 2007 3:09 amlook heres how it really work you play you win you get points its that simple. A high rank player may stand to lose more points in a game to a low rank player but that only happens if he loses. And if he loses to a private he should expect to go down.
if a colonel wins a game even against a cook he gains points simple as that he may only gain 12 instead of 30 but he still gains points and he shouldnt expect to gain as many points beating a newbie as an expierenced player. Is it as easy to beat mainiac as it is a new recruit ? no then why would you expect to gain the same reward for winning.
Your rank is supposed to mean your skilled and you should be expected to defend that rank . Muhammad Ali fought over 50 title defenses and not once did he ever tell Howard Cossell he wasnt gonna fight this contender cause he stood to lose more (the championship) than he stood to gain (some more money)
You higher rank player seem to think that once you obtain rank you should be entitled to keep it forever without having to defend it. You protect it like its your retirement fund and make it much harder for anyone else new to obtain the rank than it was for you.
Tell me were there colonel games when YOU were a private ? If you deserve the rank you will be able to defend it in a fair game and you wont have to hide and only play players who you can gain more points from than you can lose.
I just won a game...every single player was ranked lower than me and guess what MY SCORE WENT UP....not as much as it would have if i had beat 2 generals 3 colonels and a major......but I shouldnt expect it to I beat a couple sgts a couple corpals a private and a question mark and then end result was my score went up 66 points
I should be expected to win this game and therefore i should expext to get 66 points in a 7 player game and if i beat a couple of staff officers my score should go up 100+ because I shouldnt be expected to win that game
What are you afraid of ??? that someone might beat you in an honest game ??? are you so insecure that if you weren't an ELITE player your life would suddenly lose meaning ? DEFEND YOUR RANK DONT PROTECT IT

you are forgetting that a certain % of the game is pure luck. therefore a colonel or general, even though he is tactically far better than other players stands to lose a lot of points through nbo fault of his own, also higher ranked players are targeted. its not as simple as you are making out, also it is often more enjoyable to play better players who you can garuntee will not deadbeat or teaming or the like. dont over-simplify matters.
