Last Ranked at Custom - Why?

from Demigod Forums

I was just looking over the ranking and all and decided to check the last players games, just for the fun of it and I noticed something interesting.

From the last page (8 players total) 3 of them join games titled "No Noobs", "Pros" "experienced players" often. (Arkias, wurvey, frosaly) and 3 others join those kind of games not that often, but still do. Only looking the first page of the game list.

My question is, why?

heh... I just looked up frosaly.  A few interesting stats:

Total Games: 37
Games Won: 3
Games Lost: 34
 
Current Winning Streak: 0
Current Losing Streak: 0
Largest Winning Streak: 1
Largest Losing Streak: 4
Total Playtime: 868
Total Disconnects: 24
 
The disconnect stat is the most telling.  He could have connection issues or quit a ton if losing, etc... or stats are borked.  So long as there are some pretty huge exploits out there, though, I suggest not giving too much of a rip about stats as they can only tell you so much clearly.  For instance, maybe frosaly is the the greatest pro ever, but has the worst hardware on earth, constantly getting disconnected.  Could also be he's great, but he plays on teams with terrible people.  Could also be he's not good, but thinks he is, etc.  Another stat reset in the next month or so hasn't been discussed YET by stardock, but it seems pretty logical that it will occur again (without a favor reset) once some more crash bugs are fixed along with big stat cheating exploits as well.
