nor really. you'd be surprised to see how many high ranked players want this.
not everybody is here for the score, we want the challenge the rush of a reset the race to the finish line, the chance to experiment without fear of losing out all time high score.
it pretty clear to me that if tomorrow points were completely removed from this game and no rank were kept you'd be the first to quit. it seems you play for points not for fun.
don't you ever want to play a good old 6p standard game? you never played one not a single one. that's amazing. or a 5p standard public game. you've had just 2 (yes only 2) 5p standard games and those were private.
aren't you tired of triples and doubles? aren't you bored with the same partners or the same settings that you play all the time? you play almost exclusively trips seq no cards chained.
how about something "crazy" a 6p assassin escalating unlimited with fog?
will you ever do that? my guess is you won't because it will hurt your precious points.
and for what? you're just 60 points ahead of me on the scoreboard. i don't doubt you were higher perhaps much higher than i'll ever be. but while you played just trips and doubs with the same partners and same settings over and over again, i have played all kinds of games with all kinds of settings. to be honest i'd rather have 1500 points and know i've played everything and faced all kinds of opponents than to have 3000 points and not be able to remember my last 6p standard game because it never existed.
ok here goes Dim... you sent me a Pm asking me these questions..NO 1 through 6
1. are points that important to you? are they more important then the pleasure of simple risk?
You get your pleasure one way me in another,Points yes are important, that is fun for me. Simple risk is the pleasure of gaining points and trying to be the best, best ever! Passing the freakish high score that Blitz posted up a while back. So yes points are important, one part of the game i enjoy, my decision to do so.
2. would you really stop playing if the scores were reset? (not buying premium=stop playing cause 4 games at once don't count). why would you stop playing? the game would still be the same.
Yea same game...not my desire? Simple enough In all things in real life that i competed in, from competitive weight lifting to Running National Motocross i shrived for one thing...to be No 1. I set state and National records in weight lifting and still hold some now, I would not want those reset? Same here, take my accomplishments away and why do it?
3. don't you wonder from time to time how would a certain map feel like and join a map you never played before in a speed game with cooks privates and sergeants?
I never have played a speed game because most of the time i play at work, except on the weekends. I play sparingly at home because i have 5 kids and a wife that i try to spend all the time i can with. Another reason for not joining with cooks or privates or any lower scored players is well known....3 cooks 2 privates and 1 major...who do you think is going out first, really. Everybody attack the big rank, don't blame them i would do the same?
4. don't you ever get bored with playing the same settings same game type same partners?
I play what i enjoy, mostly no cards, for another reason, it takes more of the luck out of the game. Takes more strategy to play no cards. you don't have to worry about the other teams getting a set in three rounds and you r team taking 5 rounds to get one? Play a good team and this happen ..skill taken out luck wins the game for them...very simple
5. didn't you ever think "man i'm a great trips and doubs player would i be that great in singles" and then start 100 6p standard public games?
No not realy? I used to play standard, and terminator games when i started and got up to either 2000 or just under. So your statement is wrong where you said i only played 2? Over 70 if you will take the time to look? I Play team games because that is what i like? My right to play what i want, i enjoy playing with people working together and settng up a plan and seeing it work out. What i enjoy.
6. don't you ever wish to try something crazy? or are too afraid of losing valuable points?
Hmmm not sure what your asking here, played a couple of fog games ? That was crazy? even though i won one of them
Ok this is my generalized response:
You say dont i get tired of the same partners, once again you havent looked, i play with a lot of differant partners, some i play with alot, because i enjoy there style of play and company. Also played several differant maps. Not all of them but will in the futrue. You seem to enjoy standard games? Cool play um all you want, you stated in had played only 2...look to be sure before you post thing like this, i roughly counted over 70? Point is Dim one thing that makes this site fun, and enjoyable is because there are options! you can play just about any type of game that you can think of? Very few restrictions. What i don't understand is why you care what i play? I don't care what you play, your next door neighbor or anybody else? It take stratigy and thinking to win a no card triples game or a 6 player seq. game, why does it matter? Why dont you jump in some good old Trips, you may have already i havent looked? If not try it's a blast
