Did someone say points, I would be lost without my points.
:)








<---- points :P

Oh wait your not talking about those points, and no you can't have them Ricen.



Some great suggestions and comments.

We will keep stats on all the servers, it is what attracts some. But once they find out what the Ville is about for most any why, the stats don't matter for long.


Stats have always been and will continue to be a source of controversy here and elsewhere I’m sure. We have had this issue here at the Ville from day one and we’ll probably never get away from that. But it is good to talk about it now and then.

We can look at the stats to see if they can be modified so to engorge TPF.

If they can and we decide to modify them we can add to one server to see how they work. If it's feasible and works we can maybe look at adding them to the others.

Again once most find out the Ville is TPF it gets easier then stats become less controversial.


Good thought Silver, I can't remeber that far back but I do recall something of that nature. : )

Stats should stay. People can turn them off if they want.

I'm not sure if this is even remotely feasible, but perhaps there could be some way to balance teams by total points? Like, if noodle, strees, German, and Deathstryker were all on one team, the game could see the higher point players fighting against a team of lower pointed players and switch them around till the total number of points on the team is somewhat even?

That would be both a great use of the stat tracking and solve the problem of team stacking. Problem is, I'm quite certain there is no way to do this at this point :D
