The M.E calculates every minute, the only difference on the turn is the simple rank part which doesn't affect overall rank,

I have seen no difference in turn lag with or without M.E

The turn lag started when admin introduced the "compressed" pages for faster load times.

If you wanted to argue that M.E was adding to lag, then yes have it update as you mass/farm etc, then have the rank calculated at some random early hour of the morning, 2 / 3 am game time, ( i know this doesn't work out well for all timezones, but everything is done on game time )

[Nigatsu_Aka]

I think its interesting to look back after a war and see how much you've destroyed - also as a way of improving (ie: improving loss/kill ratios in future)

But the raw stats themselves don't mean much. For example, 20mil def supers killed when someone isn't expecting a massing is easy......when they have nox/crit on its slightly harder....when they're online its much harder and way more fun.....but the logs don't reflect this at all.

5mil def supers killed when someone is online is more impressive than destroying 20mil of someone offline. Online still requires an element of skill, speed, teamwork. Offline, its button bashing at its worst.

Very well said.

I kinda like ME, shame it didn't go back further and include planets/MSs from the start and I agree on-line kills should have a much higher value and loses should be deducted.

[Cole]

It shouldn't have a rank, that way there wouldn't be a rush for it.
It would just show what you farmed/killed etc...and what you lost. Enough in my opinion, no need to have it ranked. It helps to determine who did what during wars etc...

12ag, your obviously going to think that ME isnt good for anything cos yours probably hasnt even past 1bil yet

Please.. You can abuse it you know, To gain ME at very little cost in no time at all compared with other methods of gaining it, without actually doing any fighting. I could get up past blahh's rank 1, not that hard, just I can't be bothered nor can I be bothered shoving trillions into a worthless good for nothing stat.
And if you haven't figured out how to do that then your incomptent as a ME ho ho ho merry christmas.
If I was really bored and still had my large defence I'd show you.

And FS chaps, If you can't think of any reason for ME other than "Me Hulk Me Smash" Then thats not really bringing much to the discussion
We all know your stat builders, you and your ME rank loving, Theres even a post by Easy in the bug thread I believe saying so.

Anyway, ME, can be gained to that and above of Rank 1 without actually damaging anyone. So what is the point of it, just a record of things killed e.t.c, sure I can see how the UU or Naq ones stolen and taken may be of use to determine if your actively growing, but who really needs to have it ranked or see "kill stats" you know your a bunch of evil killers, why do you need to keep a tally, Evil Killer Accountants :O ... whats the world coming too.

lol, so true as well.

ME is useful. As was mentioned, it records all your "activites". This is good if you are in a war and want to see how everyone did in the end...maybe give out some medals.

It is also useful for an alliance to see the activeness of it's members. The change in ME rank, if recorded, could have many uses for any alliance.

...and for the "Evil Killers", I refer to myself that way all the time. The ppl with the top ME ranks are there because the love to fight/mass. Its a war game, we're supposed to. So everyone needs to stop whineing about ME ranks and go out and kill something.

PS My ME is less than 400, but that being said, I don't kill just to get ME...and it's just wrong to kill noobs just to increase your rank. Keep it to someone you are at war with or who is gonna give you a challenge.

the people with the top me ranks haven't got the top because they love to fight/mass

but because massing is so friggin easy that any rubbish account can go and hold a whole alliance hostage and mass anyone without fearing any real retaliation or even expecting any decent losses when actually massing anyone

I agree with every word you said!

[Noobert]

I tried to threaten Lore once, he punched me with a Mortal Kombat punch and I was out for the count. So holding a alliance hostage doesn't always work. If it's a war alliance? They will just fight back. Some random alliance? Most likely will give in sooner or later.

Well you are just jealous cuz you're not even close to what FS is, and you are throwing dirt into our faces.

Well if you were such a good fighter you wouldn't have sat with 0 def trought the whole damned war your mates fought while you were doing the babbling.

So please rag, i don't need bollocks from you, cuz you don't rank as a player, i would say inactives > you.
