Saipan 1944

[vince hughes]

This settles it for me as far as I'm concerned! Vincent, do you have a ratings horse high enough to let you raise your nose yet a bit higher over this excellent point?

Sort of like this, but in the saddle:

Shad,

Disappointingly, I didn't think enough of the comment to even make a response on it (and Larry I mean that in a way to mean its relevance and not in a way meaning I don't think much of your input).

Josh responded to you and wrapped that one up, so no need to repeat here.

You are the site owner and at the end of the day the final say will be yours General Shad. But if none of these things matter and laissez faire is de riguer (starting to feel the need for a France 1940 scenario), then the stats page is pointless and near redundant.

I remember before you got PG-HQ going you stated to me in an email how you enjoyed stats on various things as I do too. I think what we have here is different views on what the stats mean and how they are collated. I had an honest held belief that they were ratings by 'users' and simply never thought a designer would rate their own efforts.

As you have explained, you had an entirely different ethos on this. Now that I understand that, I can (and will) view them differently as poor old Aachen 44, Romanian Soil and Siege of Leningrad get dumped from their top spots, despite their labours of having given so much 'rated fun' for 3rd party users.
