Sobering thoughts, and I do care. Just don't have the bandwidth to do all the research. If this is occurring, it can send one down into a dark rabbit hole of apathy and angst. I absolutely trust nevdully and what he says.

What has The Last Druid said about this issue? Anyone recollect, or even better, dig up threads? I really always trusted his acumen, too. Put it this way, if the two best and most informed owners more or less concur on these points, that speaks volumes.

egvrich,
just saw your post per JPAV.
looked up the manager records and don't see anything close to those numbers, I tried sorting both by PLAYOFF winning percentage, and by championships.

Here are the top owners per playoff winning percentage


minimum 20 playoff teams
Name # Teams W L Pct Playoffs W L Pct Champs
CleavonLittle 58 4,885 4,511 .520 24 108 70 .607 12
landypanico 92 7,144 7,760 .479 22 106 73 .592 9
johoekstra 67 5,990 4,864 .552 46 252 174 .592 21
Fulty 39 3,502 2,816 .554 29 149 103 .591 15
Panzer ace 101 9,536 6,826 .583 86 414 289 .589 42
stratfanatic 87 7,614 6,480 .540 51 297 209 .587 25

So What is JPAV referring to?

Panzerace has pretty outrageous numbers, but he did it all in the 80s mystery card game and he uses the old trick to determine which cards he has early on.

MtheB,

No clue, but those numbers were eye popping.

egvrich--
I looked through all the top winning percentages for playoffs, that had at least 104 teams and 42 champs....and found nothing resembling those numbers for ATG9 all eras

A lot to digest, it's hard to read all. Any one simply sum up?

That said, LONG LIVE UKRAINE!

jw4412 is the manager. I don’t recall being in any leagues with him, so it’s possible he’s only playing in specialty leagues. Still, 115 Champs in 348 overall leagues, not to mention the ATG9 stats I mentioned earlier, deserve a closer look. I want to learn more! :ugeek:

He won 53 championships in 67 playoff appearances in ATG8 and 46 out of 49 in ATG9! He won those 99 championships while only winning a total of 139 playoff games! Truly amazing!

Either that or there's a bug in his career record.

two points...could he be in 6 team leagues that award championships for simply coming in first, that would explain the low amount of playoff games.

I will make another point about the modifiers -- my theory is they are only turned on for auto leagues and not in private leagues.

The one team you can see in his profile was just that - a six team league, $999m cap.
