No, he is a freemium Field Marshal with under 250 games which just makes him a ton better.

He is a farmer... I have no respect for farmers. He foes you if you beat him or give him a good run for his money. He foed me after I mopped the floor with him.

Definitely not a farmer lol. He plays almost all 8player games, and they usually have other high ranks like colonels or brigadiers. The last game he won had 2 other generals in it.

And anyways, getting to 4.5k in any amount of games is going to be tough, no matter how you do, and Thai has done it in less than 250 lol. You, Brucey, have failed to get within 1k of his score while playing 16 times as many games as him.

Thai, you are one of the best on the site, 8mans are definitely not easy wins.

Congrats on 4.5k

He foes anybody who beats him how hard is it to grasp? Only reason he has not foed Mhennigan is the points he could possibly win off him. Yeah sure 4500 looks nice, but if he did not foe people who beat him, his score would be much less. He used to venture out to more maps than World 2.1 but for awhile has stayed stuck on world 2.1 He has a better chance to win than say classic art. Less chances of a noob ruining your game on World 2.1 than classic. No matter which way you slice it, he is a farmer in the true sense. I sent him high ranked invites many times, and never once did he join. MHennigan on the other hand did. Notice he is always last or 2nd to last in a game, so he can pick his lineup. MHennigan on the other hand just joins with whoever. You want to praise someone Praise MHennigan, but not a farmer. Next...

If you want to praise mhennigan, make your own thread. 2/6 of his Thai's games were 2.1, and how can you call someone a farmer for playing 2.1? Of course he is going to play a game were he has less chance of being noobed, it is a fairer game where it comes down to skill. Nothing wrong with picking your line-up either.

Farmer is a person who is scared to play other good players so he foes them.
Farmer is a person who hand picks his lineups up for the best possible chances for him.
Farmer is a person who will not join high ranked games even on his current favorite map.
Farmer is a person who stays on one map and will not venture off it for fear of losing on another map.

Thai_Roberts meets all those.

You should look within your own clan Bruce for player(s) doing the same thing and gotten as high and even Conqueror....... But I guess you give them more credit than Thai or overlook it.

Congrats-- Thai,whoever you are.

Oh Yeah I know KP took some drastic measures to make 1st and sjnap also to hold onto it. The difference is Sjnap will play high ranks always has and so will KP. Yeah he might have put a few on foe(I do not know since I cannot see his foe list) but he still played most people as far as I know. At Any rate 4500 is still a monster of a score.

Farmers are a dying breed.

Thai obviously has the mental capacity to compete at a higher level if he so chose. Once again, his prerogative alone. He crafted a method that works to where he minimizes loss and optimizes wins. Be happy for him or you'll find your Christmas tree rather empty this year when Santa doesn't find you on the nice list.

I could never say that about Snapo-- solid player in all game types. JustB did it for him is all I know for sure-- highly doubt he asked her to do such a thing. But yeah Karel locked out an entire speed field for months and months.

Ik denk dat je de eerste generaal bent die gespeelde spellen tekort komt i.p.v. punten om een Maarschalk te worden :lol:

Maar ik heb er alle vertrouwen in dat je je score kunt behouden in die ±30 games

succes!

Oh, and scotty, during the climb to my Conquerorness, I did not choose my opponents.
Admitted, I did not ask rematches to the worthy opponents like I now enjoy to do again when I lose, but that's totally different from foeing them

And I can assure you my foe list is 100% empty

Anyway, getting sicko scores like 5K and up is not as much about skill (once at a certain level of skill obviously) but about patience, a skill which Robert possesses apparently :lol:

Also I'd say the skill level you'd need to play those 8 mans, who probably have a more diplomatic aspect as well, is higher than the 1v1s I got my points with.

Cheers!

Thai has always been a skillful and winning player.

Granted dubs/8s weren't your best game but you were/are the best 1 vs 1 speed freestyle player... on any map. I had made a comment because of Bruce's post about ignore lists. Seem he was quite upset. Congrats on getting to 6K tho... good stuff.

Back on topic-- congrats Thai.
