Just what is your contention then? Because it sounds to me like you're implying some kind of wrongdoing, which I'd find particularly difficult to believe.
1 - NEW PLAYERS - Players who created an account on or after May 16 2024 are not able to login to the forum
2 - AWOL - We do not have an AWOL button under the ACTIVE tab yet. Please check each game to see if you are AWOL.
Thanks.

The top of the scoreboard is full of specialists.
Wrong. look at players 2-5. different maps and settings all over the place. As i mentioned before if you have a 90+% win rate on a setting/map, then its just a matter of playing more games to get more points. This reaches a point where the points won out weight the risk of a loss, but Fitz is not there yet.
Wild ? yeah you can say that. But it can be fun, so I like to play them too, but not for the points. People think that in a 12 player game, they have a one in twelve chance of winning. This is NOT correct, as additional factors are added to the mix, that most fail to recognize.he feels 6p esc is a bit on the wild side and does not enjoy them.
Could not agree more. With each setting comes different nuances of the game. Learning and mastering all of the settings, is what makes a well rounded player.Different strokes for different folks...
Isn't that why you have different settings in the 1st place?
wow... this topic should not be in the mess...
Honestly, I thought this was going to devolve into something much worse. I'm impressed with how everyone is handling it and making valid arguments/comments. I'll move it over.
I have, for some time, suspected Fiitz of taking advantage of some bug/flaw that we havent found. Not accusing you of cheating fitz... not at all. You seem like an upstanding dude. But I would be lying if I didn't admit to wondering if you had discovered something obvious that the rest of us hadn't. I think it was fueled by comments you made on time something similar to "It is really easy to win every single time if you just know some really basic things".. and I thought "hmmm". lol
Keep in mind I am a novice risk player and so it is certainly plausible in my mind that you're simply better than everyone else. But I definitely have wondered.
EDIT: Sorry this thread has gotten off-topic... someone post an image!
Like I said, it takes more than being a specialist to create this wide of a gap. The top of the scoreboard is full of specialists. 80% win ratio is the average that you will see. To achieve better than that, you would need to bring something more into the equation. This fact is steadfast in my mind, and is predicated upon these certain elements-
1.) the bulk of games are started as open public games. Not joined, so as to take advantage of weak or noob players.
2.) All games are 1v1. It is possible to raise that 80% significantly if you team up with someone. The reason is two fold, one- most of your games will inevitably be against players that are not used to working together as a team, and two- the chance of AWOL's are increased with more players.
Ya know what...
I think that I just stumbled upon the answer to this quest. (see #2).
Oh wow, that was a lot of text fitz.
Don't know about my chances but it would be interesting to take you on in a 2 min class mass game.
