Interesting poll and wording, because there's a distinction between how you view yourself and how others view you.

e.g. "I'm content with being considered among the top group of players" - clearly viewed by other people
"I want to be the very best, like no one ever was" - could be viewed by self

I understand the question basically says by other people, but that kinda narrows down the options in a somewhat artificial way

I WANTED THE POKEMON REFERENCE. DEAL WITH IT.

Thing is, right, praise from other people is always nice, that's natural.

But if I could ever say to myself "I'm a stronger townie than syllo" with conviction then I'd feel I'd pretty much achieved everything I wanted to, and that's very little to do with other people. Just a general level of excellence that it would be awesome to reach.

Obviously i want to be the best but the question is "How important is it to you to be considered the best mafia player" so my answer is i don't care.

TO CATCH MAFIA IS MY TRUE TEST

TO TRAIN NUBS IS MY CAUUUUUUUUUSE

In all seriousness, as long as I'm finding mafia regularly, I don't care much for where I am on the "skill list" of mafia players.

I care about making the best roles in PTP.

That is my mission in life. I'll write a book on PTP role making if I have to.

Sometimes, although usually I just use the TL search function (4)

Rarely, although I don't spend much time looking at past games (3)

I'll probably try to keep it updated regardless of the poll results since the statistics are fun, but I was curious how much this actually gets used by others.

None of those answers really fit me. I do use meta but I usually just go to the players' profile/search function and check it from there. The last time I checked the database, the info on it was quite aged.

yes, as more time goes by the less I use the database, simply because most recent games are the most useful and they aren't contained within.

Yep, I would use the database but it's all so old. So I usually use the search function for this forum.

forever and ever if it wasn't so out of date

more people should update their profiles if they play regularly though! so much easier!

Might comment on this for my 6k blog. Interested to see what others think.

EDIT: I can pick them all.

Although I suppose with the amount of mini games that have been spawning lately, that might be more than a handful of games now XD
