I find it hard to rate anyone here on the speed servers, simply because how easy it is to be successfull but then how easy it is to get an ass pounding. Iv'e joined and played a few worlds and done myself proud when playing properly, i never play speed all the round through simply because of the sheer bordem it can produce. I don't know who plays which accounts nore do i care too know, but when 3-4 "decent" players stick together, they will usually defeat someone who shows true skills. I played a round where i was doing very well at the first stages, then out of no where players from different tribes and no tribes attack me at the same time, i clear one player completely, noble it and then shortly after i noble the village it gets nobled by their friends.
A true statment of skill isn't whether or not one can reach rank 1 on speed, nore rank 2, 3, 4 etc. Until this game develops a world where everyone can join but on a 1v1 basis this will never be proven. To many players cheat, sponge, lie, trick etc and this is the down fall of the majoirty of you speed players. Stop working as a team, then lets see how well you do, or stop bragging how good or bad a player is untill you play them on your own, which never happens.
