Some nice stats, good news as well, except Phanton, but still alot of players who play more bad players compared to good, i'd like to see what the standings would look like if everyone was forced to play everyone a set amount of games, with all 8 schemes.

The thing is, whilst a website fronted to find games and play games (it could even launch WA itself, amongst other things) sounds like a quality of life improvement it kind of defeats the purpose of having lobbies at all. It makes it even harder for newcomers to realize a league exists (many of them I assume come aware when they constantly see people asking "tus ne1?"), ultimately it harms the activity of wormnet and  I have serious doubts about the activity of such things in such a small community.

Nice post ropa.

I thought you were just here to flame people and act like a know-it-all-jackass, but now that you post a seemingly friendly post.. what are you doing here??

Thread derailed into what I consider important matters and I didn't want a joke to get in the way of people understanding that post. I'm being frank here, for the second time in a row in this thread. And by frank I don't mean gay and italian.

I don't like Statik's idea, mainly because I agree with ropa, but also because at some point in the season I have around 3000pts and I don't wanna waste my time (2 picks = 45 mins at least) against weak players for 15 pts per game. Normally at that point I'd play anyone in top 20, but not all of them would play me, and that's what pisses me off. (They can't say I don't give them enough points  )

You don't need to play against a weak player. There should be a checkbox allowing to exclude low points opponents.
