[POLL] A Tough Poll To Conduct (or vote in):

I wondered who people thought were the best players. And I also thought there might be a difference when a person had to list whom they would prefer to play with.

I will ally with Tesco and/or Georgig any day. They really know how to form an integrated alliance when the need arises!

I've never played with Tesco. Well, kind of...we are a bit together in Anklebiters. However, just so people will not feel left out, Georgig (whom I felt really lucky winning against), Alneyan, Parabolize, and Lord Chane are just a few of the people I thought about when making the list. Mark the Merciful is a very good player also...but he has disappeared.

So, I could only list the people I had some "history" with. That's why I said it was a tough poll to conduct and a poll that I wondered if people would respond to as well as if such a poll had ever been conducted.

I know/suspect you are busy, Fyron. I was hoping you would be as interested to see if my rating deserved my ability as much as I wanted to see if your knowledge matched your ability. So, the invitation stands...just find some time and post the acceptance.

To make other comments...I don't think the idea of KOTH or a Ratings system is silly (did you say that?). I think, given 15-20 games or so, the Ratings system portrays a bit of reality in SE4 ability. As to my own rating, I suspect it is a bit inflated due to me having the opportunity to get some wins against some players with lesser ability. After all, I see that I have lost to players whom I think are very good players each time I have played them. Hence my challenge (in another thread) to get a team against me and my partner whose rating is close in numerical summary.

Since I started this thread...I will add to the "stir" a bit.

Rex and Asmala: Iron! Solid! Steady! (perhaps a few surprises but straight-forward play...till gambling is needed... )

Primitive: Steamroller! Watch out! (a bit vulnerable in the "endgame")

Geoschmo: Danger! Watch out! (willing to take a look at the opponent and decide to try something unconventional)

Who would I like to play with? Well, besides my current challenge involving Alneyan...whom I consider as calculating as Asmala but a bit more chancy (hehe), my choice is Primitive. Not sure what it would be like to work with him...but I'm sure it would be a rollercoaster! Second choice? Geoschmo. For a rock-steady game...Lord Chane (who, I swear, has a SE4 rating less that what he deserves).

It seems this poll should have included an option for "I don't feel I have the expierence to cast a vote, but I want to see the results". Then again, perhaps it only seems that way to me beucase that's the position I'm in. An option like that might not be appropriate.

You're absolutely right! I hate it when I don't think of everything and you can't edit polls .

That's what I was wondering about, Tesco.

Although, I feel kinda weird about listing people as if I was the sole authority on who is the best and such. But, as I said, I chose names I had some measure of experience with. Wish there was a way for "write-ins" in the poll.
