A person's 1v1 skills is irrelevant in this context and isn't a measure of someone's value. How well you can beat someone at Warlight is one-hundred percent worthless outside of this website.
Alright, here's the thing. Warlight is Warlight. Therefore, Warlight cannot equal not Warlight. Warlight's forums is Warlight, therefore, one's skill on Warlight does, by extension, have an impact on a person's social value on Warlight forums.
Warlight's best 1v1 players are also, by extension, the ones that do the most for the game itself, generally speaking. You might not see them as much because they're sick of the forums and do most of their service in private channels, but people like sze, Gnuff, Gui, and other slightly less strong (but no less powerful, socially) players like ChrisCMU, maybe myself, and others, have contributed to the community far more than the average troll who only shows up on Warlight to argue on the forums. Please forgive us if we tend to look down on such trolls, but can you really blame us? You build your own reputation here. It's your actions, and how you choose to spend your time, that shape the way people think of you.
