I played dota2 with my brother a couple months. It was fun, but I have to echo what PunkUser said about it being a HUUUUGE timesink. Which could be a good thing I guess, depending on circumstances.

NewMutator

I mean of the debate.

Can I get a twitter summary?

Dang was looking forward to seeing how this turned out this season.

Tirri has a few bad days and calls it quits, coincidence?

NewMutator

I'm still a bit confused with the + and -1. Is that shorthand for 1.5 or not? I haven't really seen that option anywhere if not.

NewMutator

I see, so it's more of an approximation since you are copypasting

NewMutator

What does the -1 for Toronto designate?

NewMutator

Don't listen to krok, Myth's premiere troller. This thread is gold and I enjoy following your thought process.

NewMutator

Go Zagon!

NewMutator

Guys, if you can't tell that was a joke. :o There's plenty reason to think that one can still "win" merely by influencing cultural trajectory, i.e. cultural "progeny" can have a positive effect on the survival of the species (to which we all share a basic genetic parity anyway). ...

Say what

NewMutator

Hey, good job PunkUser! You officially win the game of Natural Selection.

NewMutator

You know, it might be a good idea to put together a playlist of YT videos that newer players can learn some basic strategy from. Any ideas? Don't forget that one thread where everyone recorded their playing style, that could be invaluable too.

My body is ready

NewMutator

Yeah, it's Alarm Will Sound's acoustic cover of Fingerbib. They did a whole album covering Aphex Twin back in 2005. It's not too shabby.

I don't really believe the Internet makes you stupid. That seems like an awfully conservative claim to make for the nostalgia of the good ol' days. I don't really think we should return to the days of high employment either. All it means, that I can see, are lower and lower wages for more and more i...

NewMutator

The old days are over. Working jobs with clear job descriptions where you perform a repetitive task that requires little or no cognitive ability, those days are done. Increasingly, employees need to perform a variety of tasks in response to their work environment, and utilize problem solving to acco...

1/10 of the workforce is currently in sales. The other 9/10 are what can be considered "non-sales selling" as per Dan Pink's suggested name. All the professions you listed fall under that heading, and, in fact, we all do much of the time even while not working. EDIT: The Internet and smart...

NewMutator

You're a salesman, bro. In fact, everyone is if you define sales as persuading people to part with resources.

NewMutator

Actually conditional hand-outs and means testing have the effect of disincentivizing economic participation (if you make less than X amount then you receive benefits). Like I was saying in the other thread from a month or two ago in the FFA forum, unconditional "hand-outs" ( unconditional ...

Well you haven't really been furnishing any data, have you? I'd be happy to read your sources if you got them. Exactly, other than the wording "super rich" because that is not true. Of course the poor people are going to love the free health care because it is someone else paying for the &...

NewMutator

Unfortunately for me I don't believe everything I read. Someone got some stats on this? Free health care really only sucks if you're super rich and can afford to pay a premium to not wait in line. That's why there's a lot of high-end treatment centers in the U.S that cater to the world's wealthy (an...

NewMutator

Like long waits are unheard of in the good ol' USA.

NewMutator

Couple things. 1. I wasn't present for game 1. 2. I volunteered to sit game 2 when I saw that Drunken had left -- I wasn't "benched" per se. I was given units (because Paris thought it was still 8v8, ostensibly) but detached them back to avoid disqualification and to allow the other guys o...

NewMutator

We may as well hold individuals liable for systemic and structural injustices.

NewMutator

The weird dichotomy of the person "at fault" is the one who is liable and they can basically not pay if they don't have the money is pretty stupid. Liability is at heart the issue. What we have is a self-inconsistent means of establishing culpability. That blame is attributable at all is ...

NewMutator

I'll point out a couple ways in which your post above implicitly and tacitly assumes and advocates philosophical materialism, just so you know how this factors in. Note: this is not a comprehensive reply. You say I overestimate my driving ability, or otherwise fail to accurately apprehend what are t...

NewMutator

Honkey you are a true blue salesmen. But your analysis doesn't go deep enough. The truth is we live in a society in which the medical industry, the psychiatric establishment, our scientific institutions, commerce, politics, economics, government, all collude to sell you philosophical materialism; no...

NewMutator

Don't even get me started on the medical industry. I would think very carefully before accepting any sort of treatment. Let's just say, for what you are getting, prices are gouged. There are cheaper alternatives to the painkillers and antibiotics that are peddled. Life isn't worth so much that I'd s...

NewMutator

I'd rather take my chances than live my life dictated by "what-ifs". It is my choice, except it isn't, because I'm legally coerced into following the herd.

NewMutator

If not having insurance wasn't illegal I probably wouldn't bother with it.

NewMutator

But honestly, I don't know what the big deal is. Flatline's a good player, Chron's a good player; is the skill difference between them so pronounced that playing one versus the other would have affected the outcome? I don't know about that but I wasn't there for game 1. Game 2 was a close win, with ...

NewMutator

You can penalize the whole team I guess but if you make it impossible for 1/4 of the players to advance, that upends the purpose of the tournament I think. If you've lost in advance, there's no incentive to play. True, the goal is to just get good, competitive games in, but why bother if the outcome...

NewMutator

Well I mean, Asmo can ban team Cremisi if he wants, but, uh, I thought this was just a fun "tournament" intended to create some good competitive games for the post-MWC crowd. Wouldn't banning an entire team kind of contravene that stated intent? I'm a little confused. I haven't been keepin...

NewMutator

I don't believe I cheated!

NewMutator

Something I found strange (the hard way actually) was that dwarves don't start with their satchel charges. If they did I think that would make the krid giant more valuable!

thumbs up bruh

GKG and Myrk joined me in casting the MWC2013 grand finals, with Asmo popping in for the last two games. The verdict? Well, you'll have to watch and see. GGs everybody and we'll see you next time!

NewMutator

Okay, we're going to go ahead and begin shortly. If you're on and want to join in go ahead and do so.

NewMutator

I wouldn't be averse to a reschedule if it means we get a more solid turnout, but, on the other hand, this has got to be casted sooner rather than later. So far I haven't heard from ew or anybody regarding a potential reschedule so I'll pop on in a bit to see what the consensus is.

NewMutator

I wouldn't have signed up to play sundays, just sayin'

NewMutator

That's fantastic, Dant, but we didn't even get that far. You simply made up an excuse every time to get out of scheduling. Lame!

Also, screw you!

NewMutator

Screw you Dantski!

You snub me by refusing an interview and now this! Shameful.

NewMutator

Do you want to reschedule or go on ahead?

NewMutator

Alright looks like we're on for Friday evening at 9pm EST. Let us know if there are any further developments. See you all then!

NewMutator

Yo, I'm in though I can't predict availability, I'll make an effort show up. :]

NewMutator

Well the problem with Saturday is it might interfere with the draft matches, right?
