which would you have: a snotty bratty kid who does nothing besides brags and gets on people nerves with a A average , or a quite helpful kid who has a B average


Yes personality does matter for team cohersion and ability to follow orders, but that is an after thought to one's abilities and skills. A great leader can overcome personalities setbacks. I know that from actual experience.

Example:

Player A can be outspoken and can bump heads with others. Skill level is unknown.

Player B is helpful, easy to talk with, a friendly person, gets along with everyone. Skill level is unknown.

Which would you rather have?


Actually, an argument can be for both. Especially in PG. You need that forum shit talker to antagonize and distract. Pulls focus away from those with their hand up the skirt to come in unexpectedly.

People discount the effectiveness of the forum troll the spouts crap all day. This is exactly why I love the makeup of Dez team. How Much shit was caused in forums by some of these players, how much focus did certain players get? Normal retaliation can be made exponentially bigger because of it. wasting turns, cards, and resources on one person when the real attack is coming from a different direction.

Subversion and subterfuge.

Yes, those that can throw down on the forums do have importance. However, I don't think a team of just shit talkers will run the gambit in PG without other abilities and resources to back them up.

agreed Feniks, that was one of the main reason I got drafted in the second draft in the first place(Was to new for first draft, not here for third, see first for fourth draft) Now seeing it a shit talker with nothing to lose makes a great distraction when your in the heat of the moment.

The fact that I'm better than ever before is quite surprising, and when your not talking shit others and upping yourself all the time it is amazing how far you can progress.

Now I'm able to actually talk shit and back it up completely :D :D :D

It takes a mix of both agreed. That mix is personified in the makeup of the TITANS!!!!

Who is making fake accounts for kangs votes? Decide to join my nation, cast on me, then cote for kangaroo. This is unfair and is going to be dealt with accordingly. hereforthevote (#78191) Whoever made this will suffer for cheating


Id like to have kangs team suspended for this act of making fake accounts to win the draft. This is unfair gameplay and has unfair advantages

Some people may actually choose to try to avoid being on top of the leaderboards however. Specifically merchants and those who want to keep a low profile. As for how important stats are, they do help represent how talented someone is, but they are not the be all and end all to measure someone's worth or greatness. Certain stats can be pretty easily manipulated. Fame, and influence for example can be shifted quite easily with voodoo, most ships owned can be done fairly easy by building howkers nonstop and ships off the market. Total battles-just fight everything you can as often as you can-win or lose you still go up in this.

The main statistic I can think of that isn't easy to manipulate would be win%-though hideouts can help with that too. And interesting enough about that statistic, Dez doesn't have many people on that list- In fact Pulpop has more on that list then he does.

And finally lets not forget quite the important fact. Now I don't know how familiar all of you are with Greek Mythology, I happen to know quite a bit however. Such as the titans ultimately losing their dominance over the world to the gods. And it seems, Dez's team will share that fate :D
