Warbarons is an Rassian record :)

[Igor]

Existing statistics show all completed games together, official and training ones. Thus I can't know what part of all games were official games and what number were training ones. You also can't know this. And nobody can't know exactly without special counting what part of games were training games.
I think though that most of 68 000 games were official games. There were much more official games.
Should be that even 10 000 of completed official games, made in more than one year, is enough to let any players to join and show the best result. We can see now much more that those 10 000.

Warbarons game exists already over than four years and is open for all the people all around the world.
This lets any person join the game and make the best result in it.
Sure not all of 7 billions people of the world have joined Warbarons game. But that's really only their own matter. May be they play football or just watch TV. They all however can join and play the game and show the result.
Warbarons game is open for all the people from all countries.
This is why records in Warbarons game are in fact worldwide records.

Igor,

We can count the completed games by going back and seeing how many ladder games were completed each season and how many active players were in the ladder. Those are the only 'official' games since those are the only ones that were used to rank you (and the other players) in the seasons you won. Anything else doesn't matter. I suspect there are only a few hundred games each ladder season. Is that enough to count for a world record, I suspect not.

My daughter and I play DLR (Warlords 3) on the internet. Everyone in the world is invited to play but no one really does (a couple old Warlords have on occasion played). I beat her all the time because she is only 8 years old. So I'm world champion too because we have played a lot of games. My claim is every bit as valid as yours

KGB, you and members of your family can play all what you wish, even if this is without other participants.
But if you will then try to call this as a record you should know that such your win was got with collusion when one player played only with 1 of 2 opponents.
Such situation was discussed here in Warbarons.
Thus if you KGB will call yourself a champion after such wins, then don't forget to add the word 'muck' to such your champion name.
You can also call yourself the winner of own daughter, if you're not ashamed of it.
Can't wish you luck to beat your family farther for to show this as an example.

What about number of games - you can't count it, and I can't. Only the suppositions, mine or yours.
Anyway I suppose that the game exist enough long time and number of completed games and number of participants are big enough to make Warbarons game famous in the game world.
This then give all rights to count achievements in the game as records. And as soon as all people can join, doesn't matter what country they are from, the records have international status, they are world records.

It wasn't collusion. I wanted to play other players but no one came to challenge me. That's different than deliberately avoiding players that was done in prior ladder season.

Not sure what 'muck' is meant to be. Did the translator not translate to 'great'?

Here it's all counted and archived. For example here is season 11, the last one you won.

http://www.warbarons.com/ladder/season/11

You played only 36 games. Looks like the top 15 played about 250 games total for the whole season (I roughly added the games played and divided by 2 since there are 2 players in each game). Only the top 5 played in more than 25 games. So I am not sure why you think we can't easily add up the total games played and the number of active ladder players.

[Igor]

Anyway this is only supposition, doesn't matter what it tried to be based on.
I see that in 12-th season there 30 players on 1-st Ladder sheet. And there are 2 sheets.
I remember also that in previous seasons I could see 4 or even 5 sheets with players, who was active in the season.
Thus number of players in each season much more than 15, I think. And number of games much more than those that are played by top 15 players.
Should not also forget that 2nd season was longer than 4 months. And 1st season was much more longer.

And just to think for you KGB, count what number of games need in your ice league NHL for top team to get the cup. Then compare this number per a season with number of my won games in only the 2nd season.
Also you may compare length of an ice-hockey game in time with length of a game in Warbarons.

Too specialised.

[KGB]

Igor,

I'm sorry it wasn't recognized but their ruling it's too specialized is pretty much what I guessed would be the answer because 'The proposal must be something, or about something that is known to the world’s majority'

Does this mean I will not also get Nobel Prize?

Hoh, good I still have this as a record of the country.
