And why gm had to lie about it?
NO! I didnt say that, I'm sorry if you understand my words wrong.
Actually in THIS game (I play a lot of games, and ONLY HERE) always I have feeling that all BB staff do not listen any suggestion! Sometimes I got feeling that gm's need to deny all Ideas, to kill all creativity that someone make to improve this game, just like that's their job :P
Whenever someone wrote some suggestion, bad or good it's not matter, gm's always (95%) give negative comment!
I really think that this idea is good, and that can be implemented very easy, and that game could be much more fun with it.
Now I understand your point of stats, but... here, on BB, you have also numbers. You can just check game ratings and all those ratings convert to numbers. Same thing on HT, just there is foxtrick plugin who do everything for you.
