'Best player' is not something that can be defined by numbers. It's relative to what every other player considers 'best'. For example, Pie would never end up on my 'Best Players' list, simply because I don't view someone who relies on backroom dealings and politics to be the 'best'. Some might argue that a player who can come out on top politically, regardless of NW/land is the 'best'.
Even when numbers are involved, like top NW/land kds, they are very rarely the 'best', in my opinion. I don't want to say every rank 1 is a cheater, but most of the time they didn't get there through pure skill or luck. If there ever was a player who made it to rank 1 and stayed there, without relying on friends/NAPs, or hiding/making deals in the middle of wars to protect themselves, didn't cheat or farm, and existed solely because of luck, skill, and respect/fear, that would be the best player.

doesn't matter how you get there, if you had to pick someone to make it to the number 1 spot and you could pick any sk player of all time, who would you pick and provide some damn good proof, not some emotional rant by some fool;-)

I'd have to disagree with ur evaluation of political manuvering. It's the best way to manipulate the game so that you and ur friends finish on top or are fighting for that top spot. Just bc u can make the best kd in the game for that moment doesn't mean it will finish there. Also most top players die in first month.

xel, xel! ;-) breathe!
Maybe my reading comprehension is just terrifyingly bad, but all I'm seeing is still "Form an opinion, and then prove it."
I agree though in the past 40 rds I have played only a few with jones but he is always on top. He even smoked me back in the day when I gave a real effort

Well, yeah, I did say some would argue that point. And it makes sense, in a way. 'History is written by the victors.' as they say. I still don't see them as the 'best' though. The 'best' wouldn't need to do things that way.

Waterworld lived on SK on the very olden days. He was probably one of the best builders before Vindicator.

because the "best" are killed because of backroom politics?
They were always the "leaders" you had to beat when you were playing against them
And also the record for worst NW/Land Ratio:
Oh... wait, this isn't the "Worst Ever" thread is it >_>
