This will end up knowing who is good at one game from a small community with different hardware and connections. Project failed.

Is that not the whole point though?

If that was a problem nobody would ever play online games.

Glance back to see the thread's name: "best gamer". Doesn't say that someone is reffering to one game. It just indicates that there should be a person with all the wins in all the games. P.S. About the problem - everyone who plays online can just say that "it lagged" when they lose to an opponent, thus leaving you who's 20000 kilometres away to decide if it's true or false. Only way to decide at a winner on a competition like this is for everyone to love the same game and play via LAN. Enough said.

That would mean you'd take the gaming very, very serious.
I am an very ambitious person regarding my own performance, but if you start a game with the proposion that it's fun I don't take it serious.
EDIT: Ergo: I give a 5h17 when I die because of a silly lack, cause it's fun.

That'd only measure your competence at one game. To be the "Best Gamer" you'd need to have the best blend of l33t skills in everything from Quake 4, to Fury of the Furries, to Football Manager and so on.

Unless we can come up with an agreed list of representative games from each genre, and host and play them, the question can't really be answered.

That's what I wanted to say. This competition can only be for a particular game, not the Best Gamer of All type of thing.

@Morrin, dont make me laugh :P. You're lucky you lasted long enough to say that. In other words, I "pwn" at chess.
