I was just curious about other kill totals and per turn averages for players in other games. I am just about to finish a game as the CL, and I currently have 92 kills in 36 turns, for an average of just over 2 1/2 kills a turn. At peak, I had 1 small agent artifact, and one small stealth artifact to aid my cause.
I am curious to see how my performance rates up against other games and other players.

Curiosity killed the cat !
But you’ve done very well in ME 52 !
Great work, Chris
Have Fun !

Thanks Gix,
You were equally influential in the victory of game 52, as were the rest of the team members who saw the game through to the end.
No one has any CL stories of their own?

Chris,
I have a CL-story.
I’s different to yours because the game doesn’t lasted as long as 52.
I’ve played CL a long time ago ( in the newer games many players needed to play CL, so I’ve taken other positons ).
In this game Anja played WK and I’ve done a lot to keep the WK into the game.
I had many killers there in the North trying to kill each Freps-com reaching WK-pops.
It was succesfull.
Bye,
Gixxxer
Hey what’s on !
Here is someone who needs to here about your CL-stories !
He has got 92 kills !
Is this a record or not ?
Have Fun !

My game is still going on. Rather not comment too much on what I’ve done so far hehe.
Turn 26 atm.
I’d say thats a pretty good average.
In 230 (back in the Deft Days) I had 52 in 26 turns. But, the longer the game goes, you will get ALOT more. I was killing 5-6 per turn the last 4-5 turns.
Like you, most of these kills were without assistance, before we really started dumping all our team artifacts on the CL. A good grudge team should make their CL very lethal in the first 4-5 turns. (In my opinion)
I have to admit, that game as the CL was in my top 2-3 favorite games/positions. (Probably right behind my FK experience a few games later.)

Can anyone name the difference in comparing your personal victory points, the amount of kills in a game or the size of your ****?
I mean… its mighty impressive with all those kills, I’m just wondering why you didn’t get any help from your team members (Sharing their agent artifacts with your), or why you didn’t make any kidnaps in the game. All those hostages surely would have hurt your enemy’s more, but then again they don’t get counted on your turn sheet as kills, do they?
good point, Per…
see it this way: those who still need to brag with VP and suchlike haven’t yet reached the highest level of MEPBMing, the pure essence and clear state of mind - like playing Northmen three times and still smile when DinOthar visits your capital 
besides, there might be children reading this, so I must ask you to refrain from BAD LANGUAGE…
Per,
To some extent you are correct, I probably should have kidnapped more as I have only one hostage myself.
To defend myself and my teammates however, I will say that we were disadvantaged by at least 3 nations from about turn 10 on, and to be perfectly honest, I have always heard that kidnapping is more difficult then assassinating. In addition, close to 50% of my kills were either armies or characters that entered Mordor, I was not willing to risk even a few percentage points on the chance that an army would advance deeper into our heartland.
Under more even sided circumstances, perhaps I would have kidnapped more, but when your team is fighting every turn for their very existence in Middle Earth, every inch you can sustain helps in my opinion.
Could I have played the position better? Could we have done better as a team? Certainly so, but considering that none of us had ever played together before, and some players were new to MEPBM the end result will still be a hard earned DS victory, and that truly is the only thing that really matters.

We haven’t played this game for victory points etc. !
We’re really happy that we’ve won it !
Sometimes you haven’t bet a penny on the victory of the DS !
CL has done a great job and I don’t know why you’re telling me he has done it for victory-points.
You’ll get some points for the most kills, but I think it doesn’t matter if you kill one ore one hundred !
Other team-members killed also a lot fo freps-chars.
It’s interesting that I haven’t got an information about the number of my kills.
The sentence " Ritual character terminations " doesn’t exist on my result-sheet.
Per, you’re pretty right with the kidnapping of characters.
Sometimes it hurts more because you’re not able to chreate a new char, sometimes you don’t have the gold to build new chars especially when you’re losing more than one per turn and nation ( this counts for the kills ).
Have Fun !

Greetings Chris,
there aren’t many ways to play this game ( 52 ) much better in this late phase.
Chris, you’ve played your position very well, regardless what other players are saying.
Have Fun !
Gixxxer
The sentence " Ritual character terminations " doesn’t exist on my result-sheet.
Only appears if you have the victory condition to kill 10 people etc.

Thanks Zalendar,
you’re right.
( I’m ignoring victory conditions while playing )
Have Fun !
Gixxxer
ahh I missinterpreted(sp) your intent Gixxer, I get it now hehe.
The reason is that I’ll normaly have enough victory-points to win it without VC !
Ha, Ha, Ha ( only a joke ! )
Have Fun !
