1. There is nothing worse than a stat-resetter, I think we should be allowed to throw rocks at them and their player profile should be in yellow. 2. This Hall of Fame thing we got going on. Take win % for over 50 games or some such nonsense. The % there bear no relation to the actual win loss % of those players. Take Germania (no wait, he has reset his stats), okay take MGT. It has his win to loss % as over 80% on hall of fame, in reality it is just over 60% and has been for a while. This is true of MOST of the players there. Then there is me with 79.3% win/loss and I'm no-where to be seen when in reality I'd be up in all likelihood. 3. The game hates me. Cton game, usual things of starting next to someone and ending up in the war of the archers till I strangle him. The point, ah yes, in this delightful game (which would have been a clear victory if I hadn't been pipped to Hanging Gardens to by a no-hoper civ with 1 city, 1 city what you wanting those gardens for???). AH the point. Yep, me and MIP ended on the same score 988. The game says MIP wins a time victory at the end of the 120 turns...but, same score, MEH? What are the rules for a draw in score, both me and MIP have screenie of this rather odd situation. /rant off.

Resetting stats is a perk that comes with premium memberships ;D

Resetting stats makes a mockery of an already fairly meaningless ranking system. Just don't take the ranking or stats seriously in the slightest, the longer you're here you'll realis the more meaningless they become, with players resetting them when they have a poor run of luck or whatever, some players do it for good reasons the vast majority don't. Maybe we should all get a premium account and reset our stats, level playing field again? My long run of bad land appears to be over, although Im still yet to get a resource within my capitals border expansion in over a month. I'm sure my stats will start looking great if I reset them, whoop de frggin do: Yes you're right it's lame, just ignore stats and play with people to determine skill. Get in the CCC too, that shows the wheat from the chaff also. As to your stats it's easy to see by the number of games who is resetter and who desrves respect, don't worry about it no ones taking much notice of the guy with 20 games and a 100% win record. EDIT: Anyway Germania has every right to reset his stats he has a premium account we have every right to now regard his stats as about as accurate as the novel Da vinci code in representing reality. Who cares really stats don't mean anything at all and everyone knows it, might as well start a thread about improving the ranking syatem you'll get nowhere with that either. No ones happy with the ranking system but there no impetus to change it either, just forget about it and mock at people who boast about their rank or any other stat for that matter, it's about how often you play and who with, nothing else, not skill, ability, or anything related to your ability to play. Use the CCC to pick out who are the best players as I've said or just play with them to get an idea. Everything else is pointless arm waving and bravado, who cares
