After reviewing your statistics on the leaderboards, I have confidently come to the conclusion that you did not reach this bounty amount on your own. You received generous bounties from other players who may or may not be your friends.
Looking at your past 25 games or so, you have clearly lost more games than won therefore you can not have achieved 20k+ bounty by regular, more honorable methods.
Justice!

THis record, 21000 is just low. Bounties and teams, you've achieved nothing. Congratz.

To gcb's record. You have kinda camped to get that score. You had team mates and all. And amazing players who helped you. Glato, zex...

Elgoldo's score on the other hand, i can give credit, he made that fair all the way.

Mine at 9000 was without bounties and furthermore , completely solo. I never teamed. But my score is lesser then everyone that i mentioned earlier this post, so it doesn't matter.

It is impossible to determine pure skill off of a game like this.

Let me explain:
The Survival Games is a game of both skill and chance. Although it is not hard to come upon a general consensus on who is 'good' and 'bad', it is hard to pinpoint the best player(s). For example, let us say I am playing a game of Survival Games. I have full leather armor and a wooden sword. As for food, I only have uncooked porkchops. I end up running into a team of four people that all have higher tier gear... (chain/iron - stone/iron/diamond wep - flint n' steel - bow & arrow(s)) Chances are, I am going to die given that my opposition has an IQ that allows them to operate and function as your average human being. (You have to think about it, if they have gear as good as that, they must be somewhat decent at the game) On the other hand, I might be the one in full iron+diamond sword and I am faced with a team of four that have a few leather items and wooden axes.

Based off of these hypothetical but completely possible scenarios, we can deduce that there are a wide variety of variables in the game thus rendering it impossible to truly determine skill off of numerical statistics. Take Gravey4rd for example. Looking at his statistics, we can see periods where he is on streaks of both winning and losing. Of course we can all agree that he is a skilled player, but I would not doubt that during his streaks of winning, he was fortunate in many of those games with good chests as well as not having to deal with an enormous amount of teams. On the other hand, during his streaks of losing he probably had unfortunate occurrences such as bad chests, being chased from corn by armed tributes, or something along the lines of the first scenario listed above.

In the end, the Survival Games are not an accurate way to determine pure skill. In more basic terms, there is no 'best' player. A more accurate way of determining skill, especially in terms of PvP, would be to pit two players you want to compare against each other and give them identical gear. Then, have them fight on the same exact terrain about 100,000 times. But, to be more fair, switch their starting locations at the 50,000 halfway mark. Unfortunately, I don't expect anyone to ever do this as it is quite the task.

---End of on topic response---

Speaking of which, this leads me to believe there is an even more efficient way of determining a better player when comparing two. I believe it is entirely possible to develop both the hardware and software capable of performing millions of accurate simulations of Minecraft fights between two players. The only obstacle would be finding a method of accurately converting the mental and physical actions of each player into numerical values which would then be entered in when creating the AI. I have read/seen some people that have actually done something similar to this. (Deadliest Warrior's proprietary combat simulator)

But.....this is an entirely different topic that I feel will never be made available for non-commercial use for a few more years.

Sixzo just pulled a G33ke on us.

No, I just pulled a "I am sick and tired of people who do not understand important concepts" on "ya'll"
By the way, his posts are usually long because he does not like to spend any more time than he already does on them to shorten them up and take out the useless information. I know this because he has privately stated this before.
