SF.com server question: player stats?

[FliesLikeABrick]

Stats or no stats?  I am pro stats since it'll show us how the weapons are being used, but at the same time I'm afraid of stat whoring. 

Again, personally I don't think that statwhoring would be a big issue, but it should be mentioned nonetheless

edit: yes, I mean player stats

Take off one yes from the poll. I thought you meant player stats, not stationary guns.

I do mean player stats

[VijchtiDoodah]

No, we don't need stats.

[Sebastian]

I would say yes to stats, but no to a 'score system' (with the obliged ranking), as it's almost impossible to evaluate individual players (just by stats) in a gamemode that mainly requires teamplay.

[Mr. Domino]

I love stat records as a means of recording history, seeing your own trends, and who you kill/die to the most, etc. On the other hand, I see people who don't bother to play the game as a team and prefer to protect their precious K:D by staying safely in their base, camping, spawning, and other braindead tactics just to farm kills to increase their rank or whatnot. Still, I do think those people are in the minority, and many people look to stats as a way to gauge how well they're progressing at different aspects of the game.

[Plonkoon]

Just make sure there's enough variety of stat and on stat maps.  I personally like them but I know a lot of people dont so just make sure that there's not to many maps with them.

[xtishereb]

What about general server stats? Like how many people have been killed, how many successful captures, most popular weapon, most popular map to be changed to, how many people have been to it, etc.

[Krillious]

Have stats but no ranks

[ArmedManiac]

I say have pretty intracite stats, like average life span and average camp(how long you stay in one place) Things of that nature. But yeah, stats all the way!

I am pro stats since it'll show us how the weapons are being used

That's the only reason that I support stats for this server. It'll give a general idea on what's being used, and it might help to determine if one of the weapons is overpowered.

I'd prefer no individual statistics though. That's what leads to all of the stat whoring. I had fun playing on the server today, but I'm pretty sure that enabling individual stats would ruin some of that fun.

[The Red Guy]

Hell yes, I support stats for SF.com server.
I support it 100%!

[FliesLikeABrick]

I'll modify the control panel system so that users have more control over what shows, then I'll enable general stats and general player stats, but no ranks.

[mar77a]

No ranks
No stationaries
Yes other stats

That's all i have to say 

[Frenchie]

I'd say yes to stats so we can find out the most used weapons. 
 I say consider removing ranks, getting rid of k:d and maybe anything else that would invoke stat whoring. Just basically have stats of weapons usage.

[FliesLikeABrick]

do you think that having K:D without ranks will still invoke statwhoring?

[scg_912]

No matter what u do people are gonna statwhore so........changing it wont do anything

[Frenchie]

do you think that having K:D without ranks will still invoke statwhoring?

Yes as it's still an incentive to get good stats for a good k:d

No matter what u do people are gonna stat***** so........changing it wont do anything

Yeah I agree there will be those who always statwhore, but getting rid of k:d and ranks will certainly decrease the number statwhoring by camping/using 1 shot kill weaps more often/<lame thing> therefore would not give true stats of weapon usage.

[Demonic]

I'm all for stats, and if someone starts being cocky about his "pro score", us mods can always join in and teach him a thing or two.
