What is the most important stat for a whore?
The term whore in refference to alleg originated as a description of people who amass massive ammounts of kills in a game. Doesn't matter what ship they're flying it's all about kill count. During Open beta whores where those who generally reached 50+ kills in regular games and zone games.takingarms1 wrote:QUOTE (takingarms1 @ Dec 20 2007, 02:01 PM) I always thought that whore was supposed to mean someone who is really good at the game. So, for instance, a scout-whore is a really good scout (ie pooky) and an int whore is a really good int pilot (ie weedicles).
In theory the only way to judge a whore is by kills/game. However, even the best whores, aren't full time whores, so even this statistic is less than meanigful.
Kills/Hour is a decent baromether for a whore, but it's much to easilly abused. (Don't play the first 20 mins of a game, join only the stack, quit if your team loses a tech base, return when they rebuild it, etc)
Truthfully, the only way to judge "whoriness" is by keeping track of the top 200 kills in a single game. So, when you see skull_clown with 10 games with over 100 kills, you recognize a whore.
Someone who gets 20 kills in every game he plays isn't necessarilly a whore, but someone who has played 5 games with over 100 kills is definetely a whore.

I'd be inclined to think that a whore measure should be the number of kills as a percentage of your team's kills, pro-rated for the time you played in the game. By doing it based on your team's kills, you alleviate tech imbalance. (ie the voob in a capship turret camping your base SHOULD get more kills than ultra-vet with gatt and seeker 1).
But even that is subject to abuse or manipulation.

I'm gonna have to go with e (IB already claimed d), the kills to actually-giving-a-@#(!-about-your-stats ratio.
Usually though, "skill" is used to covertly mean "match the game exactly to my level of competence." Anyone who is at all worse than me should fail utterly (and humorously!) and anyone better is clearly too caught up in the game and their opinions shouldn't count.

There's is no better whore then a hot blonde Viper whore that likes booze, cigars, and sex... well, except for a hot blonde Int whore that likes booze, cigars, and sex.

Amen. I don't care about people who run, they just get proxed when they go through the aleph or power up and hopefully it adds to your kb. Sabertooth for example.TheBored wrote:QUOTE (TheBored @ Dec 21 2007, 01:14 AM) Kills/Ejects shows how well you can run from a fight. It being the most important whore stat is laughable.
