Actually, you just gave a perfect portrayal of Incandenza's point, Jarrett was a major until about 3 days ago and played hundreds of games as a low rank, inflating his stats tremendously.

WTF are you talking about ? Your rank is adjusted after every game.

And you have just proved my point. With your brain skills, you should NOT be at the top of the leaerboard.

Ah, so after weeks of reading your shrill posturing, your cries of "The scoreboard is unfair! Farmers are ruining CC!", the point finally emerges. This isn't about points, or farming, or the scoreboard, or the health of CC.

It's all about you.

You somehow think that if people look at your relative rank, everyone will say to themselves, "Gee, that whiny bastard with the annoying animated avvy sure is a good player! We should listen to him! Wow he's amazing!"

News flash: relative rank, not exactly the most reliable statistic in the first place, has less and less meaning the higher you get on the scoreboard. The reason yours might be better than MDM's is because he's in the top tenth of a percentile, and practically every opponent he faces has a lower score.

So, you know, if you ever manage to prohibition chicago your way into the Top 100, then you might have an audience, since you'll be seeing things from his side of the aisle. But from where I'm sitting, those that whine about points wish they had more (or think they're somehow entitled to more), and those that impugn the skills of others wouldn't know solid play if it whacked them in the back of the head.

Do people farm? Yes. Does it really make that much difference? Probably not. Is it worth the thousands of words you've written on the subject? I'll let you guess that one.

Incandenza should be a lyrical dictator. He just pummeled you into a pulp of idiocy, tore down your points of thought oppression, and exposed you for the ignorant sap you truly are. How long are you going to sit up there on your high horse and believe that we are going to listen to these crumb bum arguments? To say that Me-Da and DAT don't deserve their rank is ludicrous. They play all types of games and dominate on a huge pallet of settings while maintaining their current rank and above. They've been that rank for what would seem like an eon now. They are both outstandingly sound players who I can assure you would beat the tar out of you in most given situations if not ANY. That is the exact same quote in which I noticed you starting to sound way too over zealous. The most amusing part of your battle cries is that you don't play many different game types what so ever Porky the fig. That is most apparent. Game history says far more then a transparent map rank will ever tell.

I'd like to also add this. Any one with a head on their shoulders would agree that 1 vs 1 sequential games require the least of "skill" (That is a loose term) to win. I say this because if you take a look at the players who primarily play them, they are easily around the 50% win ratio mark no matter their rank. Thus proving that a 1 vs 1 sequential game can go either way mostly because of the drop followed by the luckier player having fair dice and cards. It does NOT take a genius to win a 1 vs 1 sequential game. Most everyone could surely pound out the victory if given the better drop almost every time. Please don't fool yourself into thinking you are some amazing player and better than people with higher ranks because of the fickle map rank system. What a joke.

Another point that people are to hung up on is rank. Rank does not always determine how good a player is. It is ignorant to say that. I've crossed paths with corporals(that were never much higher) that have out played colonels. Rank is directly related to what type of games a person chooses to play and how successful they are at winning them. That sounds like a vague statement but follow me for a moment. If all a player plays is 1 vs 1's they are not going to rank up very far. If all a player plays is 8 man escalating games then if he/she wins 33% of them they will eventually be on the first page. If all a player plays is team games and they join a like minded unselfish group of players then they will certainly rank up if they get acclimated to each other and test their skills against higher ranks. What I'm getting at is if a player plays a multitude of game settings, wins, and maintains a high rank he is certainly a good player in my book. Not in the least over rated regardless of the average rank of his/her opponent.

Let me explain how the map rank statistic works, as you are clearly unable to figure it out for yourself.

After a game is completed, you win a certain amount of points. Map rank takes the amount of points won and divides it by the amount of players defeated, giving a number which represents the rank of the players which you played.

Jarrett had a much lower score and played people who were at his same mediocre rank, giving him a high number because he won close to 20 points from each player he beat. Now that he is a brigadier, the points he won in the games which ended do not change, but map rank reads the number as if ever game he played, he played at his current rank. Hence his stats are inflated.
