thats extremely lame..what scripts is that?
Im still refraining to use lates Dako script. Butnow that i have knowledge of this new secret script, then i will unleash Dice 2.1. I will not share it....I might sell it though!

If you don't mind, and you will rarely see me make such a request, I'd ask ...

Clan wars now seem to me to be about choosing the most complicated\obscure maps and settings (if allowed), throwing in fog so that the opposition has even less chance of competing and hoping that map knowledge trumps strategic ability. [/u]... I accept that is a gross generalisation.

The more ...

I do agree with MrC, I just think most people don't grasp what he's arguing. To win more often on the most basic settings is harder than winning more often on the most complicated settings; when you practice those complicated settings.
To a point as the luck factor/dice prevents you from winning ...

@loutil..

I never said it was not possible to have a tactical advantage. I even acknowledge as much in my response. What I said was that it was not enough of an advantage to create a 70% win rate against higher ranked/better opponents. Your 55% win rate against equal opposition clearly shows a ...

tl:dr


It's worth reading . Currently, I haven't found any good opposing arguments to the following:

(1) Playing foggy doesn't take more skill.

(2) All things being equal, (fog + complex map) is a farmer setting because of its particular comparative advantage (i.e. obscurity + steep learning ...

So you think clans play more complicated maps in the fog because it requires less skill? That logic just doesn't add up.

Well I can only suggest you read my post in which I explain why!

I think for far too long it has been the conventional wisdom that more complicated means more skillful. This ...

Indeed!

Personally I blame modern education methods (mutter, grumble etc)...

Interestingly, if one searches for active team games either public or private (but excluding tournament which of course includes clan games but also many others) we see this difference narrowing considerably. There are currently 665 active sunny team games on that basis and 770 active foggy (46 ...

You can do it foggy, because you are very skilled at that. If you can't do it sunny then you aren't as skilled at sunny.
This is pretty obvious. If u can do it in the fog, than u can do it in the sun .


This comment is almost as fatuous as 'if you can play freestyle you can play sequential'. I ...

I love how you choose a game against me just because I disagree, even if it is over a different point of the debate.

I chose a game against you because you are in the thread AND happen to have played in an example of a sunny game which reversed sharply in the mid.game.

Don't be so sensitive ...

I would argue, maybe not effectively, that fog games take more skill/strategy vs sunny games that seem more dice dependent to me. I can overcome a bad drop in the fog but almost never when sunny.

That's because you're no good at sunny. The suns beats out your brain cells, so you always faint.. I ...

You also have to consider that lots of these teams have basically mastered the maps so strategy certainly comes into it. ToG, for example, is totally different without fog.

Well, a lot of people do use fog to give them an extra advantage--only in terms of knowledge of the map (and not strategy ...

What is wrong with fog and "complicated maps"? Just because you dont know how to play them it doesn mean they are really complicated.
For me is a pleasure to play fog. Imo is much enjoyable than sunny.I Found boring to know allready where all the enemies are.People need to be more focused. Do ...

There are currently 1321 active dubs, trips or quads games in the fog.
There are 856 active dubs, trips or quads games being played sunny.

Now that's quite a difference, but of course could simply be put down to player's preferences.

What interests me more, is that I would say 80% + of the clan ...

Looking at the scoreboard, the only lame generals I see are NoSurvivors, loutil and simmons4. All the others deserve their place.

Loutil is an excellent player...who quite amazed me as he comparatively 'threw himself about' and shot past 3500. I'm aware of his early play, and one could well say ...

So much for them trying to get "rude" interrupting girl gamers out of their little bro fist/ bro sympathy thread. :lol:

Ok so just looked up.

Ladyboy = shemale
Tgirl = transexual

The difference is the plumbing?

call me ignorant but i just always assumed that they were all the same...just different names.
