What does the "Post Stats" line mean in user profiles?
For example, on my profile, it reads:
Posts Stats: A: 18 | D: 21 | M: 9 | HP: 87
What does it all mean, Basil?

A - Attack

M - Movement
HP - Hit Points

It means, don't start a fight with a veteran or heavyweight poster.

you could use the search function for more threads, but at the risk of making your headache worse

All I know is that I gave up trying to figure it out after I got to page 18 and someone was posting a funky sine-wave graphic to explain whatever "A" was supposed to mean.
I didn't drop out of college to do higher math in my spare time, dammit...

There is a "shorter version" which is like a headache to the migraine of the other thread:
http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=55702
In the end, we could just have a stats war, 
A: 18 | D: 97 | M: 45 | HP: 61

Only if I attacked first. If I moved to a nearby mountain and you acted like the Civ2 AI, I would eventually win, though.

Yup... although, the stats are pointless and should take a hike, IMO
Maybe it's because mine are so bad...

Well, stats do create an unsavory, clique-ish sort of elitism amongst some of the more senior posters... everyone here has titles, post counts, and now "hit points" and such.... not to mention that the privilege of a custom avatar only comes after 500 posts (not much for active long-timers, but a veritably insurmountable goal for most everyone else).

I wouldn't say 500 is insurmountable, but a lot of post-counts for the 99/2000 bunch come from the OTF, which explains their rather high Post Counts.

If you want to hide in a mountain that's fine by me. Say hi to OBL.

 So... If taking up defensive positions in a mountain make me like OBL (thanks for the double-reply, appreciate the bold)...
Does chasing him around make the US like the Civ2 AI?

No, it's like trying to chase down a barb leader through rough terrain with your move=1 units.

Yes, and just when you are finally about to catch the barb leader (  ), he disappears like magic.

Then you can tell them no, he's really alive whenever you wanna give that defense/aerospace/biotech industry a little boost... Like a market for all that smallpox vaccine.
