@ Crazy Anglican, I'm running at about 273 likes received to 814 that I've given, so I'm somewhere around 2.5 ~ 2.7 to one is my guestimate. Clearly we are both chaps who are kind to others by nature rather than wicked +1 harlots.

- I have never played a ranked, non-live Classic game.
- I have 1552 points; only 352 of those were directly obtained by playing games.
- I have a 2% defeat rate.

Update: I have 1652 points, 352 of which were obtained by playing games.

Well, MadMarx, when you look at the Way Back Machine (way back before I joined), my stats pale in comparison. Just trying to look for any possible edge.

Oh I’m FAR too modest to ever brag about myself. That’s just one of my many amazing qualities.

Well done Magnetic24, and thanks for the tip of the cap! To be fair, I broke 10,000 points my first year on the site, and broke 20,000 by the time my second year was complete, the law of diminishing returns eventually took its toll...

As far as a quirky stat, jmo told me I’m the first and only person he has ever muted...

I try not to ever bring this up, but I was sort of proud about winning the first 10 games I joined on this site (before anonymous games were an option, I then got hammered/meta’d pretty hard for a while), but getting my all time GR into four digits is likely at the top of my list...

Chluke, try with changing time on your computer clock. Had the same problem, solved it that way.

Favorite stats: zero nmr / 7531 recieved and GR1.

How terrible I am at live games.

Obviously I'm not good under time pressure, and to make matters worse, 5-minute live games only ever allow me about 3 1/2 minutes -- I assume because of my time clock lag? (Any way to fix that time lag?)

Could you explain the problem in more detail? Preferably to [email protected]

3.5 minutes are more than I need for a GB though. 1-2 minutes and then it's back to my Youtube video. So with more practice I think you should be able to do it.

At one point, I was number 3 for live games in Ghost Ratings. I actually used that in a job interview to show I had a knack for strategy.

And I've given roughly twice as many likes as I've received in the forum.

97% reliability rating out of 155 games finished (lots of them before we had reliability ratings even though one of those CD's still counts against me)

Interesting posts. I was thinking along the quirky, odd or amusing line when I set up this thread. As with my Civil Disorder matching my number of wins, I could "officially return" after my October dummy spit by joining a few games, have another dummy spit and have more Civil Disorders than wins & hammer my reliability rating even more.
So are there Amusing or Eccentric stats ???

My favourite statistical data would be number of messages divided by number of games as it is the most telling piece of info available.

If it excluded Gunboats.

With little effort it is possible to get the correct value by looking at player's finished games. That was easier to do in the past when there wasn't so many 1vs1 games.

Humble boast, so far my Wins > Defeats, with Draws being the result of 50% of my games. That's something to be proud of, I think; something seems to be working. I also like what Dejan0707 said about finding who the talkative players are, but most of the game I play are anonymous so I don't see that info until the end of the game

Although I know some others are far more efficient (including those that have joined around the same time as me - i.e. nguyenmt and Theoneandonly), I have earned 3010 points in just 332 days. That's about 9 points a day.

(Even if SplitDiplomat has earned about 35/day... I am more efficient than MadMarx, one of the greats of this site.)

This does not equate to skill, oh no no no. It's literally just bragging rights.

Perhaps they were based on the appearance of some WebDiplomacy personality Octavious, ask (if 'rwas ) captainmeme

Why do our devil faces look like mouldy radishes? I think I'm gonna have to ask a mod :D

Germany is my favourite nation...

...I've not played as Germany on webDip since the summer of 2013

Joining games would probably help :D

Pah! I played three times as many games of classic diplomacy here as you did last year! Any more cheek like that and I'll make sure to tell anyone who asks to pm you with all of their mod questions
