Why does CSME keep track of saves?

[Herr Straße Laufer]

Hell, I'm going to win the dubious "tenacy" award sometime next year

LOL! Pat, the two Order of the Phoenix awards are not dubious. Nor, do they show anything dubious about those who wear them proudly. :smoke:
In fact they should be seen as a great honor.
I am sure there are many players who would not battle through the total amount of losses to earn these awards? The ones who stick around and play on should be held in the highest esteem? :)
If I lost all my awards, these two would be the ones I would hold onto the longest. All others are mere trifles in comparison?

When the time comes for you I will be first in line to welcome you into a most exclusive group of brothers. You do know we have our own hall of honor in our CS "virtual" officers club?

Order of the Phoenix - Tenacity - Awarded for "extreme" courage and endurance in the face of adversity. Must be an Order of the Phoenix - Endurance holder and score 5000 points. Upon scoring 5000 points and continuing to meet the criteria of the Order of the Phoenix - Endurance, a player is eligible for induction into the "Order of the Phoenix - Tenacity". Any player so selected is truly worthy of special recognition for their dedication and devotion to the wargaming community "win, lose, or draw". Awarded by the Ladder or Club Commander.

Order of the Phoenix - Endurance - Awarded for courage and endurance in the face of adversity. Must lose 100 games on a Ladder and have a less than .500 winning percentage to qualify for this award. Awarded by the Ladder or Club Commander.

I might be concerned about 4-5 saves every turn in a 3 or 4 scenario, but otherwise ignore saves.

As others have stated. Simply talking to your opponent and/or knowing your opponent's character is more important than amount of saves you may see? There are many reasons. :chin:
