No surprise here; he is not the Greatest Of All Times but the Greatest Of All Timid!

God, seriously, why are people still poking this? It's obviously a trolling post, don't feed the troll!

Νο, it is not a troll. He's a man with an idea of himself as the greater diplomacy player ever to be.

I talked with Ginge86 quite a bit after joining a few open positions where he was a player.

I'm confident this wasn't entirely trolling lol. The bravado here is probably equal parts: an extreme press strategy; legitimately caring too much about rank; genuine anger and frustration at perceived unfairness; maybe mild mental illness / anger issues; actual old-fashioned trolling.

That he legitimately seems to have quit the site after this debacle, despite being genuinely invested in his rank, makes me confident all this went well-beyond just trolling.

I notice Ginge's reliability rating is only 76%, which is a relatively poor reliability rating. The truth is coming out, eh? Seems like the "GOAT" quits any game when he thinks he's going to be eliminated. Little stat-padder.

Does that imply that quitting a game is not counted as a loss on webdip?

Forget it. I found the answer.
