You can of course have an app or whatever that monitors servers and records score information. 1942 vets should know what I'm talking about. With something like that, which is completely dissociated from the actual game, it still keeps the friendly environment that seems to go along with non-ranked games, and it makes number jockeys happy. Oh, I remember the good old days when you could go into a random DC server and just chill with total strangers who were just having fun. I don't actually know how those sites worked, but I would assume that they just gather stats in the same way that something like All Seeing Eye would gather server info.

Arrgh, yar... arr ar arrgh!
