Maybe some of you guys that have been around for awhile can tell me about the past. It seems like a large number of the highest ranked players play a lot of 1vs1 City Mogul. Now I'd never call out farming........but would their ranks change if they couldn't play on that map?

No. They'd just use a different map.

In the past people farmed with bamboo jack speed 1vs1, now they farm with City Mogul, next year they'll use an other map again.
You cant stop it.

If City Mogul went away, you would finally have the answer to this question

cuz they wont challenge us a o g.
that is the way they play. they care too much about points. but i would take you a o g.
44 and herpes only play certain games. and herpes would fucking tell jake to shove this challenge up his ass before he played us. herpes is only playing freestyle!
cc has become "who has the fastest pc", not who is the best strategy wise.
people like bw, blitz, c o f, lt. pie, dbz, and others blow herpes out of the fucking water!
herpes has a win percentage of 97 percent on city mogul. and he has played over 1000 games on it. it is his crutch. without that map, we have a new conquerer!

Well of course you could probably take me, I'm not trying to argue that.
But ok, will killing and the herp-meister accept, or puss out?

Ranking system needs a comparative figure representing map diversity played. A champion of 1 map is no champion at all.
Ranking system needs to account for foes:self ratio. a 75% win rate in 1 vs 7 games shits all over a 75% win rate in 1 vs 1 games.
On the latter I'd break the ranking down into groups, 1v1 games champion, 1v4 games champion, ect. Most browser games have many more ranking pages & categories..........

and against players that have no idea what they are doing in both freestyle and speed games. 99% of their games are against players of this type. The other 1% is a 50-50 toss up. So they dont lose many points when you are going to win 99.5% of your games. Doesnt take a rocket scientist to see this. And the next thing is...oh how can I control who joins my games? I sent up 2,000 1 vs 1's in speed/freestyle on city mogel and all these noobs joined.....its not my fault !

I would like to see any player in the top 5 join 10 tournies ( non team ) and play 50% of their games in seq. public and see what happens to their scores. I already posted in my top 100 high scores of all time how these players at the top of the scoreboard took a huge hit on points first with the introduction of the no farming rule in January and than the double turn trick removed.They just happened to maintain their scores at their current level playing these types of games....which in most cases is still a huge drop from their all time high scores.

Johnny I like how you've suddenly become all high and mighty about farming and the strategies the top 5 players use when we all know full well that when you got up to 4000 and were no.1 that you used very similar strategies, targetting new recruits for 1vs1 games for easy points.

1 vs 1's dint even exsist when I was conqueror...please try again. Again, another noob with false facts. If you would have checked Blitzs thread out on how each player obtained number 1 you would have seen listed behind my name from playing all seq triples.

Oh I'm sorry allow myself to correct myself... you only got to conqueror because back in the day new recruits could join triples and doubles games, which you used to your advantage very effectively as illustrated
Game 173809 Game 173810 Game 173811 Game 184615 Game 184634 Game 192040 Game 184642 Game 184636 Game 184640 Game 198171 Game 206977 Game 207219 Game 207667 Of course there are hundreds more examples and a search will make that obvious... could this not be considered setting exploitation and farming? Something you heavily criticise.

The best part about this is that JR's top score thread punishes people retroactively for breaking rules.
Yet he doesn't list himself in the wall of shame. How convenient.

nope, there was no farming rule
3 years ago but I like how you keep posting attacks on assumtions that you know nothing about. Keep digging. Perhaps you will find something.

Well. I'm glad you can finally admit that you were farming. I heard that's the first step towards recovery.
That must be what the special contribution medal is for. Farming before farming was cool.
