Are you the Sun Tzu of Genre Wars? Is your win/loss record the stuff of legend? Are you a terror of the cyber seas? Say it loud, say it proud, say it here!

---

I'm doing frightening well. I don't know why, since I have no particular strategy or insight into the game, but I've barely lost a match. I've played 21 matches and won 19 of them. I've won the last 16 in a row - there should be a medal for that! (EDIT: There is, it was just buggy. Wearing it proud!) I've only retreated twice, both times within the first few games when I was still figuring out how to play.

Now I know trumpeting a record this good is just inviting people to break it. Well, come on! Let's see what happens when the unstoppable force meets the immovable object! ...I'm about to get creamed, aren't I? Well, no promises to accept every challenge! :-P

That is a good record, I'm doing quite well to. I can tell this because no-one will play against me. I have to say it's getting quite annoying.

Here is my profile data, but bear in mind that I reset once and had to start over and that all those retreats have been strategic maneuvers that have kept me alive longer:

That sucks. Downgrade your army maybe? Or let it sit for a while and come back periodically. I've had a look at your forces and I must say you're too good for my motley crew. :-)

Yeah Voodoo, I just ran like a little girl from you. A Double Epic Charger in such a larger number is just a bit too much for me. I don't feel like feeding the Pirates another easy win!

It's not very buggy, if that helps. At least not that I've encountered.

Nice! Especially with no retreats.

I think I'm up to fifteen or sixteen wins in a row now? I don't know how I'm going this! :o

I got challenged when I hadn't even touched the thing for like four hours.
I know I was safely in my base but I had to retreat anyway.

Boo. Or, it just won't let me que up attacks...
Blah.

Maybe not for you.

I would post my percentages and stuff, but it appears I am embarrasingly bad at the game.

I stopped caring after figuring out how real strategy is so unimportant. Now I just change genres constantly and search for bugs.

Well as far as I'm aware, I'm the only person with the badge for over 10 wins in a row :P

That's weird - did you go back to home base between battles? Cos I've had fifteen-ish wins in a row with no badge, but I've been going back to restock between each one.

If you won ten battles without restocking, I'm in awe.

Aye. I didn't restock. But it doesn't say that on the badge :/ Are you sure you didn't lose one half way through or retreat or something? Or am I just totally pro?

Nivag:

Nope, no losses or retreats, and you're just pro. I wonder if it's a bug?

I'm waiting for you Fraser.J.A. Come to my piratey lair. And meet your Piratey doom!!!

That's not so great. I do have bragging rights over this battle though.

BATTLES 198
WINS 113 - 57.1%
LOSSES 74 - 37.4%
RETREATS 11 - 5.6%

Not the best record, i'll admit, but i do have the most wins on the site :)

Discounting my retreats, I think an average 65/35 win ratio is pretty good.

EDIT: Nevermind, I suck.

ElephantGuts:
The first time I ever played COD: WaW multiplayer (as in the first multiplayer match I ever played of that game) I got a 17 kill streak before dying even once. I think it was 17 atleast, or something around there. So, I was 17 kills and 0 deaths in the entire game. And it wasn't in that game mode for players only under a certain level, it was standard team deathmatch.

I was pretty proud of myself. I took pictures of the scoreboard on my phone so my friends would believe me but I've erased them by now.

This is about genre wars...

I'm a f*cking idiot. Sorry. In my defence though I didn't see any games mentioned in the OP, and didn't bother to read posts which just looked like a bunch of numbers. I'm going to go crawl into a hole now.

I'm keeping to a personal rule. DO NOT RETREAT. I shall never retreat, even if the odds are against me.

Never give up.

Actually I'm the idiot, I forgot people would see this thread other than just by looking for the Genre Wars forum. I've updated the title and OP to make it a bit clearer.

I've been watching you for a while... You're winnin' it out there for the Ninjas. Keep it up.

EDIT: As for my record... It's not too impressive, but I think I have a 60% win rate. My main goal is just to never surrender, and so far, I've adhered to that goal.
