Stat whores eh Snag? Well I apologize but the ville stat system was the reason I started playing at the ville long ago. I thought it was nice to be able to track your progress and see how you stack up against other players. But, it was always causing server problems, it was inconsistant, and just a major administrative pain (or, it was understanding that it was at least). I understand why Rob doesn't want it around anymore. But the stats weren't all bad, at least in my opinion.

'bind mouse2 "say /skill"' anyone?


I don't think you fit the description of a stat whore Twisted. Stat whores were the people who would yell at you and be a llama to you for the rest of a game if you took "their" flag, or capped it once they had it and died. The people that would curse at you if you were being a team player and killed someone they were shooting. The people that would constantly sit on the flag points on avanti and knock people off of them so that they would get the flag. Then they sit in respawn until they hear a message saying it's clear. And the people that would sit back and camp, waiting for enemies to come to them, even though they're supposed to be on the offense. That's a stat whore, and the reason why stats were removed.
So to them, I say #Fist #alien #Fist #alien #2gunfire

And just for the info. I'm pretty sure /skill was removed from the servers before stats were completely wiped out, because the spamming of the control was clogging the servers

I'm kinda with Twisted on this one. I enjoyed the stats, and I don't believe I was a whore about it, they just gave me a kick to look at. Just like all privileges though, the abusers ruin it for the folks who enjoyed it as an extra.

I certainly remember what Snag and Pacifist were talking about, and it totally sucked. If I had to choose between having stats and putting up with the BS or not having stats, I like The 'Ville just the way it is, thank you. Of course, that's not on me, it's the call of the man, The Myth, THE LEGEND......

Still, for those of us who didn't abuse them or TPF, stats were fun.

I never want to see another /skill in my life. I was a noob back then and was one of the people who were typing /skill once in a while, but even then I played with TPF. I would be one of those suicidal idiots who would be scout and just charge through the defense just to keep the flag alive at times so it could be close to the cap point, and maybe if I was lucky I would cap. I say, we keep the old stats away from our servers for all eterintiy.
