When I put up a thread saying I had managed 1000 kills I was stunned to receive what was almost "hate postings" about the fact that I would never be as good as those who had gone before me!

I play this game because I enjoy it.

I obviously want to do well, but the random number generator hates me so I accept that I will not always do as well as I want.

Do I care what other people think of me or my ability to play the game - nope.

Stats don't mean much in this game. Wins vs. games played depends on what type of games you prefer to play in. I play almost exclusively in multiplayer leagues, and games with a lot of unbalanced scenarios. It's hard to "win" those games, so I "win" about 25% of my games. In a league I'd rather have my team win and get the league points than get the most points ("win" the game) and be on the losing side.

I play because it is FUN and there are a lot of great people from all over the world on this site.

Yes it is fun here (and hats off to the folks for making it fun) - I also prefer a team win to an individual win. But (I think that) with the handicap scoring system I suggested it should come out the same - so that team win happens about the same time as a plane on your side gets the individual win - even if it's a fairly unbalanced scenario.
