Are you better than average?

I love to see what opinion people have of themselves. No comments are necessary, just vote.

Obviously no, look at my points.

Average? Give an example.

What do you mean? The average is just the total strength (not necessarily measured with the point system) divided by the number of players. I doubt you want me to give you the name of some player.

I'm a no

IMO the average player has 50% win percentage, if yours is higher than you're better, if you're lower than you're worse

Anyone with a rank higher than cook is in the upper half of the scoreboard.

So yes, technically.

That's stupid.

If you play only 6 player games then you're likely to have a 16.6% win ratio.

If you play only 5 player games, 20% win ratio, and so on.

I'm not talking about points. Don't you think that many people with a low score and few games would be better if the had not quit playing?

A good number of cooks are just deadbeats among other things, so I'd say that isn't the best line of reasoning. I'm a private 1st class but I've won 22% of my games... I'm not the best obviously.

Edit: I'm betting that I play an average between 4 and 5 players per game, so I'm average but far from being considered good.

hecter · Post by **hecter** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 6:30 pm

I think average would be around a 25 or 30% win ratio.

EDIT: After 25 completed games

By that, yes. After 100 completed games, I've won 36. Do the math.

chewyman · Post by **chewyman** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 9:08 pm

Yup, I think I'm OK. Better than average, but nowhere near the best.

Think my win-loss ratio is about 50/50.

Depends on how you define "average". If it depends on rank, then I'm not sure (around 1300-ish). If you are talking about play skills, then I'm about above average, I try not to do mistakes and often communicate with my partners to discuss the best strategy possible. I think the below average player would sometimes overlook beneficial moves, and would either ignore their partner's requests or simply argue with them without seeing the best choices ahead of them.

Well, if we're going by win percentage, then I'd say I'm juuuust barely above average (52%)

But if it's by pure tactics, I'd like to think that I'm above average. But probably not.

your off the scoreboard after a month of not playing.

i got all the way up to 37th on the scoreboard once so I'd say i'm way above average.

your stats dont necesarily proove anything, theres too many variables

Random starts and location
different opponents
Different team mates
Cursed Dice
Different maps

Your success is based on your ability to adapt, Ive played 25+ games and have a average of 40%. Some games I lost from round 1 others were lost by RL interference etc..

Am I able to adapt better then others? - I say Yes.

Tazeyo · Post by **Tazeyo** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 8:46 am

I'm the best! Woo-hah!
1 game; 1 win.

Well, I dunno. If you see an opportunity and take it you can play it safe.
I'd love to show my hyper tactician skills in a team game.

In reality I'd say: "I dunno yet. I've finished just 1 game."

MR. Nate · Post by **MR. Nate** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 2:39 pm

I'm with Anarchist on this one. I am over 50%, but I'm incredibly lucky with the dice, so I have no illusions about my own ability. If the dice ever abandon me, I'll be peeling potatoes in no time.

Are you better than average?

Are you a better tactican than the average CCer?
