I have to disagree, because I'm the worst player. At least playing Japan, I have never even tried GC allies.
Usually my cunning plans end up loosing lots of carriers and other capital ships. In my ongoing game it's now Feb 1944 and I've lost every japanese fleet carrier. Every one of them, only couple CVLs and CVEs left. Lost them for nothing, because allies have lost just one or two CVs. And what about my surface fleet? Let's say that last month fast escort class ships (those with couple torpedo tubes) have been fighting against allied fleet...
We should sometimes play against each other. Worst allied player vs. worst japanese player. [:)]

No, you are miss interpreting your strategy ... you are on a fuel saving strategy. Fewer ships, burn less fuel!!!ORIGINAL: Puhis

So, after ten years of this game. I have finally decided that I am simply the worst player in WITP history. Like easily.
Game one, my opponent rolled over China and Burma like the hexes were empty. So swift was his conquest of both of them he is now pouring into India and we haven't gotten out of February.
Game two, my opponent has literally taken the entire south pacific, DEI, the PI, 80 percent of China. He all but ignored Burma, instead took Ceylon and is now pouring into south India with multiple divisions. We just got to March 42. That one is pretty game over.
Game three, my opponent has Carriers marauding off of Karachi supporting his swift move on the west coast of India after multiple amphib invasions. I can't even slow him down since the Royal Navy pretty much sunk.
Game four, I decided to be the Japanese and try something different. I am bogged down in China, and just watched all my carriers absorb multiple 1000 lb bombs Noumea. The did very little in response. It's January. I cannot figure out how my japanese opps are landing in India and I can't even get out of China.

I employ the fish farming strategy, remarkably similar, to keep all of my people fed. [:D][:D][:D]

I would elect Dan as the worst WITP player ever.
because:
He left us hanging after the earliest counter invasion in RL or WITP. MAN< I WANTED TO KNOW IF HE COULD PULL IT OFF!!!!!!

I’m old and my memory is shot. Task forces show up in a port and I can’t remember why they are there.

**seriously, I have friends that have become alcoholics, left their wives for tattooed one night stands, and
utterly embarrassed themselves in public since I've been playing. But I am free of guilt, happy as a clam, and
having fun.(and I've just been AV'd). Stay the course!![]()

I ought to set the record straight! Zulu is referring to my game with John III that ended around Sept. 10, 2013. It wasn't I that actually pulled the plug on that game, but rather John III! However, in the interest of the "whole truth," I had seriously floated the idea of calling the game for a variety of reasons, including some real life matters and a massive case of AE burnout. I had requested a ceasefire and it's all but certain that I would have soon resigned, but John called the game before I could make that formal.
As to the topic of this thread, so many good players have suffered so many public, highly embarrassing defeats. Especially Allied players. Anybody remember raverdave?
On my own score, I had John sink most of the Allied Death Star on the south edge of the map in one of my first games, perhaps ten years ago. I had managed the run the Death Star out of fuel somewhere in the middle of nowhere. It was making two hexes per turn.
I suck!
maybe we should have a 'losers' bracket that will force someone to win..lol
