LHDD, Fall, Tofu had years where they were beasts.
I always was willing to play maps not my favorite, with players with no chemistry or knew…games lost on missed turns or new players.
All I care was winning, what was best for the clan, and having fun it’s a game.
Not everyone can spend 20 hours on this site.
Own a gym, have a great wife and son and fur son.

Without wanting to participate in the dick measuring contest, the bolded text is huge. Rock too is an example of a player who will take whichever game and perform at the very least decent on it. He sets up other players to succeed because they can play their favourite maps, while not being a liability on any of the maps he fills in on. Rock may (I think) never have been an 'MVP' in terms of score, but he sure is a MVP in terms of teamwork and facilitating. One of my favourite clanmates for this reason.

He and you for that matter was so dialed in btw…COF was a killer too.
Rock is amazing; I know…4/9 7/14 I’m taking against tofu when focused
We have had our differences EW but I would not look at how you performed against S&M this last war and say you are 1/9type of player…stats can be manipulated and sometimes back luck and busy life gets in the way…you have kicked my butt and I always respect your play

Thank you. I agree, I'm not a 1/9 player but whenever it happens the best you can do it laugh at it and move on . I'll help defend our CL title, that's all I can do now.

I can confirm, there is a reason he doesn't need to participate.

He's the undisputed weiner.

In such many clan wars, I have only twice scored lower than 50% wins, 5/13 vs FALL once (but S&M clan won that war) and 6/13 vs LHDD once.
However, I have played 1 more war vs LHDD and 2 more wars vs FALL, in which I overcame that negative score from one war,having in total positive head to head score vs both FALL and LHDD.
Also, I have positive score vs all current and inactive clans that we ever played in clan wars, with far the best score vs TOFU, where my lowest performance out of 6 wars played was 7/11 (64%).
From inactive clans, special mention is to THOTA TSM ACE AOC EMP G1 and OSA, versus each of them I have positive score. Even the one war vs THOTA that we ever played (my score 12/20) in the finals of CCup1 was their first ever defeat after 11 consecutive wins and having reputation of "unbeatable" clan at that time.

No one can match Josko's record in CCup. It would be folly to think otherwise.

But I would not be happy with 5/7 below 50%. Hell I'm not happy with my stats (because see above): I have four wars below 50%, Two against S&M (with three above 50%) and one each against Fallen and FOED, out of 22 total wars. Interestingly I have only a negative overall record against FOED (15-16). If you take my win percentage in the semi finals and finals its 59.8%, but it has been dropping...something I shall have to work on.

I dont see any issues.

I even thanked you publicly for your contribution to S&M, which I think was noteworthy and appreciated.

But when discussion is about playing record, then numbers say it clearly.

How about those players/leaders who will only play certain maps with certain settings. Every clan has them. They dont want to risk their rank on a map they dont know well.

Or there are the leaders who will be cannon fodder and play the away games against 3 generals on an obscure map they have perfected.

This may be a new moment in my life. I feel that xroads has hit this on its head quite succinctly. There was a player in FALL who was a "play only the maps I know" sort of person, and had super high win rates, but he lacked in overall contribution for awhile due to that.

These type of leaders I would not compare in this context.

MTIceman41 is not these types of leader, is he?

When you play enough games the numbers tell the story about your play. Its just facts. The arguments are opinions and they may matter in individual games or wars, but over the long run not so much. I'm 15-16 versus FOED. That's the facts. I shall have to win two more than half of my games the next time we play and I'll have a winning record...until I do that - I don't. I could list my records versus other clans, which are facts, but I need to win now.

I'll give you an example of a game we (TOFU) won that we frankly should not have. We were playing S&M on USA2.1 and we had to stack on the TN/KY border in spite of the fact we would be attacking a superior force because we had been outplayed until that point. We had to attack 20v26, which at that point in the game was our best option. We advanced 12 and then rolled through the game. Did we deserve it? No. But, I can list games where our opponents overcame large odds to beat us as well, but that is whining.

Then yes, this is definitely an achievement to brag about and maybe your ego is touched that you cannot claim the same or similar achievement for yourself?

Why dont you comment ironically like this when NSS brags that he has positive head to head score against me or when MTIceman41 brags about his head to head record vs rockfist? Do you have double standards on who has and who has no bragging rights?

It's not my fault you can't beat me head to head... or is it?

But for real - I think because Don knows I'm being cheeky and you're being serious. I don't actually think I'm any good.

In all seriousness though. YES! GOSSIP! DISCUSSION! FIGHTS! This is what we're talking about. Let's get it on.
