I have a excellent Age Of Empires page all completed and ready to go but i cant find a server so im rethinking a idea. I was thinking of creating a site that is just a record site for aoe. Let me explain:

The Page would have records such as Most conversions in a game. Then people can send in there results to have there name posted with the most conversions in one game. Then other people can try and overtake that record. Its just like the guinness records but for AOE. I was thinking about it and i think its a cool idea if everyone knew about it. But before i go anywhere i need your guys opinion

Perseus,

Hello. Although this is a nice idea it could never really be regulated and this type of records page really would be meaningless (This has already been proven by the experts' manipulation of the Zone's ratings page, which includes fastest tool, bronze and iron times).

Now, as for your page, say I wanted to set a record for conversions. I would simply set up an IP game with a friend, we would both play Egypt with a high-res Iron start, and commence sending peons to one another`s town. How would you know we had not done otherwise?

Similar things could be done for kills, razings, gold collected, etc, etc.

You get the idea.

ps: I really want to thank you for slaying Medusa, Perseus. Man, was she ever a hag!

well thats the thing. They would have to take screenshots of the timeline, with the players and somehow show that they dont cheat. I would have to look into it further but i do see your point PrinceBolkonsky

Oh Perseus, that's a wonderfull idea. I will have the record for the most losses in any game. For both DM and RM , how many I won't say here (hehe *way* bad) If you make your site, I have the screen shots..
