    Exactly "neither" and "do not play PA recently"

    If you don't use the ladder then there is no point in voting, not voting in essence means neither in this context. :p

    It's a forum poll... I shan't go into details because I don't think I need to, but I wouldn't really classify it as 'statistics' :p

    Out of the people who use the ladder that were investigated, more of them used: "enter answer here".

    Anyone who didn't answer are void, that's the magic of closed testing. :)

    I can get anything to support anything I want it to, using a setup of that nature. It not only doesn't prove anything, it also almost proves the opposite of whatever the results show.

    Why do you think nobody trust forum polls? They're often biased.

    There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.

    Not voting is not the same as neither. The game still has problems, and while it is getting better, there is still a ways to go yet.

    Pa stats ladder is done.

    I'm finding more players on pte during afternoon hours and more on regular during late night hours.

    Im also not playing on the ladder. No fun maps, no good enemys. Im done with that for now. Just playing random games to see what kind of systems people create and i must say im having a good time while playing on the craziest maps.

    As for opponents and map enjoyment it's about winning steaks, and getting to a point where you play ppl better than you.

    Played zykey, my opening build was more efficient each time we played but he out strategized me every game we played and mopped the floor with me,it was very entertaining losing like that.


    I'm finding the maps to be entertaining at higher levels of play.

    Yes there needs to be bigger maps in the pool as well but these aren't bad maps.

    My advice would be to stop fretting over an arbitrary placement no one cares about and enjoy fun tug of war games with similar skilled opponents.

    No matter your rank you won't make more money, have a better sex life, or looked upon with favor by your creator.

    There is no pro's in this game. No one will make a living off of pa except uber.

    Playing the ladder should increase enjoyment through better matches.

    Placing so much value on rank is foolish sure it adds mild entertainment saying I'm plat. Uber top ten but playing should trump this entertainment value immensely.
