This is a follow-up to my Top 40 list last month. I realized that it was going to be too much work to try to do these rankings on a monthly basis (the pages load too slowly). So, instead, each month I will look at what players are winning the most and at the best win % for the month. These stats are from July 6 to Aug 3.

Most Wins:
stargate 29
mrbassx 17
Sparrowhawk 12
BoneDigger 11
Rhelik 11
markmist 8
rix_cz 7
Tough as Nails 6
klingone 5
mimoo 5

Best Win % (at least 5 games played):
Sparrowhawk 85.7%
rix_cz 77.8%
markmist 72.7%
mrbassx 63.0%
laevus 60.0%
t_o_m9 60.0%
klingone 55.6%
Dans 50.0%
Tough as Nails 46.2%
mimoo 45.5%

Other comments: Stargate's pace of games played is truly astounding! Stargate played 69 games since July 6, and won 42% of them which is much higher than his 25% winning pct going in.

Sparrowhawk is Tikal's hottest player, with 12 wins AND an 86% win pct since July 6th. Amazing!

Rhelik has also had a major spurt of games played winning 11 of 29 after only winning 6 of his first 39. Quite an improvement!

Mr.Bassx continues to win at his usual pace, winning 17 of 27 games played.

rix_cz has proven to be Tikal's 2-P game expert. I tried a game against him and was leading after 2 scoring rounds. But I got mauled in the last scoring round! Ouch! Can anyone beat this guy at 2-P??

Thanks for the nod. I got to say that Stargate is a brute to play against. Even when he is behind he pulls off a win. Mr. Bass is the same way, I've been contributing to their win streaks all month. However, both are great opponents to play against.

Cheers

It would be interesting to see updated stats reflecting the auction variant now that it has been out there for a little while...

The auction games are so much slower - but they can be so much more rewarding as well. I am juggling 11 at the moment - not really hard when a game can take up to a month to finish!

I have to say, while I do like the auction variant in f2f, I find it to be unbearably slow on sbw. It takes forever for anything to happen, even with engaged players. If you ever get stuck with a slow player, it might take a year to get through a game.
