Password for today's games is "steelydan"

We chose to do a password since there are a lot of people on who aren't necessarily here to play kickball, and we wanted to give priority to those who are.

Is there something more to be learned from this discussion? By saying "caved" I meant that you conceded the point I was trying to make, without acknowledging it. I just assumed you were unaware of doing so, though I guess it's possible you were. Poor choice of words on my part, my apology. The arche...

NewMutator

No you didn't contradict yourself, but I never said you did either. I agree with you except for where you say "subtle" and "negligible" to describe differences in trades. Those terms are relative, and I'm inclined to see them as kind of arbitrary. You can argue that point if you want, it doesn't mat...

NewMutator

That's a pretty good breakdown of what happened that I didn't think to speak to. By trying to be a hero, Xmas took himself out of the game (until he could reach the enemy flag) and seeing an opportunity, Ratking and Co. pounced. I didn't mean to imply you did a terrible job, Dantski! I'm pretty awar...

NewMutator

I feel like I got shoehorned into a position I don't really hold, which is that for any given trade there exists a counter-trade. My response is more directed at the suggestion that there is one trade better than all others given the game settings. GKG actually caved on this without realizing it whe...

NewMutator

Surely you're not challenging me, GKG? :shock: The example I gave was the CTF, The Barrens game we played last Saturday. I was asking your opinion on Ratking's trade. By the way, I have read your article. I'm pretty sure I wanted to comment on it earlier, before that feature was enabled by Toxyn. I'...

NewMutator

GKG: What's an example of an optimal trade? That would have to be made explicit since a counter would be contingent on knowing that. My disagreement with you is on a really minor point and like I mention before a matter of opinion. Besides it seems like there's some weird form of equivocation going ...

NewMutator

Fair enough, I understand where you're coming from. But those same criticisms can be applied to an "optimal" trade. And that's basically where my idea of a counter came from: a trade distinct from the optimal one. I don't know how a game will play out, which is why I'm skeptical that a "best" trade ...

NewMutator

I'd like to chime in and say that, while I generally would agree that overall level of skill has improved over time, I don't know if it's really a fair comparison to make. It's kind of like comparing a modern human with our neolithic ancestors. While we would, I presume, like to think our capacity o...

NewMutator

I don't think it's pointless (I for one would love to see it happen!) but I don't know if the benefits clearly outweigh the costs like Ren seems to believe. I can see such a feature being used, but it's impossible to tell if the significant amount of work needed to make it happen would be justified,...

NewMutator

As has been said elsewhere, it's not just a matter of changing limit values.

Also, PunkUser already tried to emphasize that raising the player limit would essentially break metaserver compatibility with Mnet.

NewMutator

If it was that easy I'm sure it would have been done already.

NewMutator

Usually territories games don't end in ties, or there are house rules in place. In the cases where they do end in ties, it's pretty intuitive which team wins in perm. It wasn't clear to me how the scoring was calculated, because any way I approached it, it seemed our team would have won. There were ...

NewMutator

Okay, after talking with a few of the Magma guys I've been assured that the rules do indeed indicate a win for team pewpew laz0rs. There are 3 criteria to determine a winner for Territories: 1) Whichever team holds more flags at game's end. Easy. But if that's a tie, then... 2) The game attempts to ...

NewMutator

I don't have the fifth game either.

NewMutator

Actually I did the third one you suggested. Just you and MM I think both suggested it. I started to do the first two but it didn't really seem interesting to me because I didn't have a context for what was happening. I already said this but you never responded!

NewMutator

How about Stalk on the Borderlands, Territories and CTF on Creep?

NewMutator

Maybe make a list of maps and we'll choose from that. That way I don't get thrown under the bus for making "lame" map picks

NewMutator

I might be willing to Cap for something like this if peeps don't mind a noob cap

Almost done with last year's FFA tournament. Any other games I should take a look at?

NewMutator

True. I wouldn't be doing it for profit but to increase visibility for competitive Myth. I think Youtube, if monetized, yields something like a couple dollars per 1000 views, so that's not a very viable option anyway.

I'll think about it some more, thanks for the feedback.

NewMutator

I lost interest in the krok games about a minute in. Maybe if I had a bit of context I'd know what I was watching.

NewMutator

What do you mean the landing page? Isn't it already customized?

Yeah, I think a quick 3-5 second intro would be good. I can commission someone for this, possibly. I'm open to suggestions here.

And, I'm pretty much always ready--have you been holding out?

NewMutator

Hey guys sorry for the hiatus. I'm not sure which film you guys are talking about (paris & east wind)? I'll try to get some more content posted this workweek.

NewMutator

Hey guys, I thought I'd make a post here and ask your opinion on something, namely if having a motion graphics introduction preceding videos on youtube would be a good thing. I personally, don't care, but I think it might rope in some people who wouldn't bother otherwise into watching and voluntaril...

NewMutator

Wouldn't that weight playing BC regardless of game type more than actually winning?

NewMutator

Thanks.

I'll take a gander at the supplied films. Anything I need to know about this FFA tournament?

By the way, a couple more videos are up. That concludes all the specific suggestions made by Milkman.

NewMutator

Thanks for all the suggestions! Dantski--can you tell me what plugin I'm missing for game4 of the films you are providing?

I've finished casting your suggested Axe to Grind game, Milkman. Expect that up later on in the evening.

NewMutator

One more thing! I think I'd prefer not knowing the outcome of the game in advance. It makes the game a bit more interesting to watch. So if you suggest certain films, you don't have to tell me how it ends!

Thanks, hope you enjoy the video(s)

NewMutator

Why don't you pick one game from every week? There were spotlight players who scored the most per week. Pick one of the games where they win, format of either absolute rape to a close hard win. If you don't feel like watching them, or get any good suggestions, look at the players who played in the ...

NewMutator

Thanks for your input--we can move this discussion to the other thread about Films. I'll address your responses there.

NewMutator

Thanks for your specificity. It appears I am missing the plugin for a few of the films despite having both FFA map packs. It seems An Axe to Grind is one of those I am missing, and searching the Tain provided no hits. As for the maps you mention that were played multiple weeks, would you prefer I ch...

NewMutator

I went ahead and casted that film--thanks for identifying the map!

If you'd like to view it, follow the link: http://youtu.be/opCfP-gH94I

NewMutator

Thanks

NewMutator

No I got the films, but instead of casting every film I was hoping to cast just a few standout games. To that end I was asking the participants if they could help me by directing me to what they thought those standout films were.

NewMutator

I see all the effort you're putting in, well done Tox.

NewMutator

I realize Milkman posted his filmpacks and I guess I can select films at random from those, but I figure I would ask those that participated if there were any games in particular that they'd like to see casted.

There was mention of a game with 15 minute sudden death?

NewMutator

Great, sounds like a perfect solution. Thanks!

NewMutator

Realized I had very little FFA content posted, so this is a request for a a couple films of FFA games you'd like to see casted, such as games from Milkman's FFA league that just concluded. Just post here identifying games or pointing where they can be retrieved, etc.

Thanks

NewMutator

Is there any interest, and is it even possible, to make it so that members can post directly on articles (as opposed to through the forums)?

Thanks, site looks good so far
