Leave the side stats. I really do not have time to look all that up.

When it comes to hydrochloric acid, you generally lose.

If you could make it so that all of these things had to be done "manually" I would be all for it since I think that finding these stats are a skill in themselves and certainly separate the good players from the excellent ones. The problem is that if they were undone, people would just make their own programs. You never know who is using what calculator as it stands and if auto stats like these were taken away it would just create a bigger advantage for those who use programs.

Why would people *not* use a script if it provides useful information?!
I try to put as little effort as possible into doing repetitive, boring tasks - particularly tasks that can be accomplished more quickly and with less room for error by code! Counting territories taken in a foggy game log doesn't require thinking, it just requires time. I would suppose people who claim to dislike side stats are also the same type of people who eschew any other kind of time-saving technology. Like word processors. Or dishwashers. Or calculators.
I prefer to put my time to more productive purposes. Like browsing reddit. Or daydreaming. Or decorating cookies.

I've had a similar argument about technology with my brother. It ended when I back-handed him across the mouth with my abacus.
