Speaking from a player that tries to play a lot and never played SP to learn the game, I look FORWARD to the day I am included in this List of Victors.
The closet I came was Blitz where I was arguably second, While Executor was so far ahead he was just toying with us while he tried out some new things (Congrats BTW Executor).
I have gone from not having a clue at all to just not having a clue after the middle game.
I would hate to finally get my name on the list and see it as 1 win and 104 losses.
The Stanley Cup (Hockey Championship Trophy) for our non hockey playing friends only lists the Winner.
Why downplay a win with stats that don't mean anything.
Good/Great players will see thier name on the list FAR more than average players....
And average players will see thier name on the Rolls of Honor more than bad players.
As far as good players getting taken out first.....why wouldn't us slugs try and take out the threats first.
It just adds to the prestige that thier names continue to be listed despite the odds.
For the rest of us...iF we where lucky enough to take out Baalz (or 1 of 50 players on here) that may be as close as we ever get to this list.
I say leave the list of winners as 'A list of WINNERS'.
When I look down that list I see who is on there, I also look to see which Nations and Era they played....and I marvel at the diversity of the game and the skill of the player that took several nations to the win.
Since it is unlikely that I will ever be on there I am just voicing an opinion of the cannon fodder.
You COULD put up a different site that people could sign up for and report in (kind of like a site called Leadeaters for Strategy War games)and get points for wins and how hard the settings or players in the games where.
Just an opinion...
