Dear friend, I am discussing the very same stat that this thread is about.
My point is that the stat that this thread touts is not relevant to actual skill in the game, as it does not take into account the respective numbers of games played by each applicant.
For example,
you have played more than six times the number of games that I have played, and so for us to be considered evenly ranked in any fair system, the numbers would have to be adjusted to reflect this fact.
Simply having played more games than me grants you more unique defeats, not any provable skill in the game.
By the way, I plan to start another thread that reflects a more fair and complete picture of these stats, but this thread is still in its fledgling stage, and there is not enough raw data available yet to create a significant thread of my own, based on this one.
Enjoy your day, kind friend; it is a precious gift!

you should really check these things out before you add to the list and not just assume the information the player is posting is accurate.

Again, dear friend, total number of unique defeats is no more relevant to actual game skill than simple number of games completed or number of days as a member.
I have not made any mistakes; I am discussing the subject of total unique defeats.
Me: 173%
You: 52%
Please don't be dismayed at being shown up as second-place. It's not really so much the winning, as it is playing the game fairly and by the rules, that produces a good feeling in the heart.
Have a wonderful day, friend!

Uh, not it's not the same stat since yours is a percentage, everyone else's is just a number.
I think this is the fourth time I've said this, but, this stat isn't about percentages. If you're going to make a different thread, then why are you arguing about it in this thread?

Please don't allow your defeat to upset you. I am discussing the relevancy of this stat compared to a much more relevant stat, when it comes to the question of actual game skill.
The numbers you are touting are no more relevant to actual game skill than screen names or simple number of games finished. Unless you take both number of games completed AND number of unique defeats, you will be discussing numbers that are completely irrelevant to actual game skill.
I am beginning to suspect that you are purposely disregarding actual game skill, and although that is understandable, it is not very honorable.
Thanks again for your input, gentle friend, and have a wonderful day!

And, apparently, you seem to think that no matter what game you play, the percentages do the talking. So I guess that means I have more skill than you, that is, according to your standards.

I've already been 'defeated', JR has more than me. I'm not mad. I'm saying that your stat does not apply to this thread. I don't know why you are bringing up the skill factor, since, obviously, it takes skill to have any defeats. And you seem to be disregarding my repeated statement that this thread is not about percentages..it's about number of defeats...

Sorry again, gentle friend.
Yours is a mere 52%, while mine is 173%.
Last time I checked, 173 is higher than 52. However, don't be dismayed at your error; it doesn't make you a bad person. It just means that you're wrong.
Thanks for your opinion, dear friend, and have a wonderful day!

Again, genlte friend, I AM discussing unique defeats, just as you are.
I am discussing them in relation to actual game skill, however, whereas you are trying very hard to divorce the two subjects altogether.
My point is that simple numbers of unique defeats says little or nothing about actual game skill, whereas taking into account the number of games finished as well makes the numbers much more relevant to actual game skill.
I can understand your desire to avoid the question of actual game skill, but I do not think that your desire to do so is very honorable, nor is it very honest.
Have a wonderful day, friend!

First of all, stop calling me friend. I'm not your friend; I have no idea who you are, and for all I know, you could be trying to rape me.
Anyway back to the point. Kaplowitz brings up a great point, in that I would guesstimate that at least 65% of your defeats have been new recruits. Also, why don't you try playing on different maps? There's a reason you only have medals for standard and ratings achievements. And, for the 5th time, this thread isn't about percentages...You're still neglecting to acknowledge that.

KLOBBER wrote:Amazed that a percentage greater than 100% exists, gentle friend? That's understandable. I was also surprised to learn this fact, back in the 3rd grade, but my teacher explained as follows:
100% means the same as 1. So, 200% means the same as 2.
Simple, huh?
By extension, please try to understand the mathematical fact that 173% means the same as 1.73.
Anyway, I have defeated 2104 unique opponents in 1214 games. The reason why my percentage can be greater than 100% is that I defeated more than one unique opponent per game finished, whereas PC defeated less than one unique opponent per game finished.
Recap:
Me -- 173%
PC -- 52%
I hope you have a wonderful day, friend!
