True story pogue.

FFA is certainly popular at its times, moreso during the off season. This is because all the good players aren't around so the team games are just atrocious. If I log on and play 1 team game full of shitty players I am going to suggest ffa so I can be on my own team and don't have to play with them ...

Well to me at least the most interesting part of this discussion touched on the fact that Myth requires a lot of mental focus. In all of the excuses of lack of care, sleep, sobriety, or whatever else, what justifies them all is their hindrance to mental focus. Even with "care", that really...

You're a loser, GKG, who wins at myth tournies sometimes. A paradox? No. Well at least now I know I struck a nerve. You think I'm laughable when you think myth is akin to a sport? Well I said myth and sports are both games so that is certainly more similar than your comparison of myth ffa being lik...

the GKG myth care bear cannot sustain itself year-round, that is impossible. Full blown gkg-mode can only happen 2 weeks per year.

I never said some players don't have more fun playing ffa. I only suggested it was less relevant to the community, which is true. Myth is a game, not like real life. Sports are also games, so myth is more like a sport. You can't argue that myth ffa is like real-life, that's retarded. Equating "...

Yes there are quite a lot of other factors involved such as randomness and luck. Notice that none of them is actual fighting skill. Sure it may be easier to get damage when you are hateplaying and others are not. I didn't really say that though, I usually don't hateplay (although this is very much a...

watchout then! it will be much higher during mwc!

well alright then, as long as we aren't trying to make comparisons.

I would rather fight other players instead of actively trying to avoid them in order to win the game. More often I have the highest damage in FFAs rather than actually winning them. If that makes me bad at FFA then I am bad at FFA. However Milk Man or any other non-4 ballers calling me bad at FFA is...

adren - captain an mwc team, lead them into the finals, then win the match. Now do that twice. Then we can talk. Surely you don't see the comparison here? cremisi - if that is a blunder of the year, something during an already lost game in an off-season kickball event, then everyone else must be pla...

well it is always convenient to say whenever one plays bad it is because one didn't care. and when one happens to play well you can point at it and say, "look! that was because I cared" in an attempt to further prove your previous excuse of not caring. it is further amusing when these same...

Well I never pull the "care" excuse because I am almost always a competitor. If I am not competing then I am wasting my time and would just log off. I am not at my mwc-level of care that is all, and that is the same for probably everyone. And that is a good thing, it is good to not be burn...

well flat, it still doesn't explain those terrible distributions. Nothing can explain those horrendous distributions except a lack of knowledge of the game. The archering in clumped line formations back and forth is also amusing. If there are some good films though then let's see them. As you just p...

well Sam an archless trade is going to be best for gimble ctf. However for an ffa, you might want archers because as soon as you expend your pus on the first fight, you have no other good way to kill an enemy dorf when you go to fight the next team. So that is a gamble, more archers increases your c...

Fair enough.

But from my point of view, I didn't concede anything. So not sure if you are still misunderstanding what I said.

Well you said that I caved on something I said previously without realizing it, when I didn't. So if you weren't implying me contradicting myself then you were just putting words in my mouth. Whatever. Well I didn't see those differences in the trades. I would be inclined to say Ratking's was certai...

Punkuser - great follow-up commentary on counter-trades, you get an A+. Working off of your points, here are all of the key points that deny the theory of counter-trades: -Fast powerful melee units which allow the faster forces to pick the time and place of fights -Imbalanced unit trading costs whic...

LN - Challenging you to what? If it is challenging you to find counters to my mwc finals strategies, then yes I am challenging you. About the CTF Barrens game that I barely remember, you are asking my opinion, not giving me an example. I asked for an example. As far as my opinion on that particular ...

I am definitely more MJ than LeBron at myth. Do you not remember the mwc11 championship team, The Chicago Bullz? I was the literal Michael Jordan of myth, duh! Jokes aside, you can look at that comparison in that light, or you can look at it in another light, that I am a team captain. Which one was ...

MM - I am not an expert on basketball. MJ is the greatest for me, my opinion. Doesn't bother me one bit if you think Lebron is the greatest. The article you linked is really not all that interesting, there are dozens of them out there. This particular one has a bias towards Lebron, and it is in the ...

LN - yes there is randomization, but like in real life, you need to make decisions based on imperfect information. You try to predict the unpredictable. All you can do is mitigate the risk as much as you can. And in that context, there is one best trade that mitigates that risk the best. It is the o...

Well of course LN. I am not really following the whole neolithic ancestors thing, but I think a better analogy would be how athletes in competitive sports tend to get better on average over time from era to era. Olympic records do not last forever, it is not a matter of if they will be broken, but a...

well god damnit, I wish I had just read this before I got into my annual argument with flat/myrk/tirri about this after mwc12 (I guess it's just like a mwc tradition though or something). The article sounds vaguely familiar, I probably have read it before and just forgot. I can't believe no one link...
