One of the reasons there are so few new games that are open are surely because if a rookie player posts a game a vet will come up to suck some easy points away from you.

Now not all vets are going to do so, but some will to try and move themselves up in the rankings because they see you as easy meat.

But you have an option that will get them off your back. That option is surrender! Granted it will give them the win, it will take away their points per game totals.

You see when you surrender the points are 0 to 0, thus those who chase points will drop in the standings instead of gain.

Now you will be screamed at in the forums and called all kind of names by the real stat whores but you will get to play against people of the same skill sets as soon as the SW's know you are going to cost them rankings.

At this moment except for passwording the game and using email to invite an opponent, you have only surrender as a defense against those who would take advantage of you!

Surrender, the untimate stat whore defense, use it!
