pearlmen Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 yea i think being an 'elite' might not only encompass skill but also someone who can play the game in a different way,on a different level and still be as coherrent and effective as the old tired 'dust sard frem las inf' that everyone has seen copied and used for their own..oh and poker, a winning streak isnt a good way to guage an 'elite' eitheryou could beat me spaze mordus and pearl all day long, but at the end of the day you probly havnt disovered anything particulary interesting to exploit coz ur too busy with ur win count, and that could be the time you could be using to try something different.. even if it means losing or making a setup game to test it out...still experimenting with atr for a bit tho before i either take it back to ordos or move onto hark and find out what theyre like underneath.. and yea as pearl said i seldom use subhouses..only as a means to help my main unit understanding,as well as a handicap to make the game harder and more fun..Ditto. :)nice statement eid.and kingpoker...Dont say that emp isnt a great archivement.Yout still ignorant this game when you think just use ctrl+shift and just push with mass sardaukar is all things on this game. and I wont defence myself even u brought the game to this forum when u beated me. :)If that game made you happy.
kingpoker Posted November 28, 2006 Author Posted November 28, 2006 this game is straight forward anyone can play it and within a few hours can play pretty well (if they arent dumb like some ppl eg. spicy dav etc .)
kingpoker Posted November 28, 2006 Author Posted November 28, 2006 the thing is most you suck at this game and have played so long you dont even know how to improve and im already better then you lol
Megashrap Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 Instead of posting why dont you go watch Barney, or Sesame Street. I think it's still on.
kingpoker Posted November 28, 2006 Author Posted November 28, 2006 lool im a poker genius i sit and play poker all day and make thousands of dollars
Megashrap Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 Spicy just ignore the tool. he wants you to respond. We are probably the only people that he knows.the way you treat a 7 year old when they throw a tantrum is to ignore. ;)
kingpoker Posted November 28, 2006 Author Posted November 28, 2006 spicy now you are the one acting like a kid i mean do you have to swear? lol and now you are going to get this thread shut? you are the one swearing how about we just ban you from posting lol i like this thread its the most interesting thing ive seen on these forums so far
Gobalopper Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 kingpoker it seems you need to find another pastime. This is your last warning. Stop being an ass or you'll be banned.
kingpoker Posted November 29, 2006 Author Posted November 29, 2006 lol what for explain to me what for?
Gobalopper Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 Why you should stop? Because I told you to.
desertway Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 Well I see things haven't changed a whole lot in the last couple of months. Somebody always seems to take a topic and run it about as far off topic as humanly possible.I will attempt to get back on topic.1. I pretty much agree with the ranking system guns posted, and I would probably rate myself as around 7-8. 2. Out of the people still playing the only one I would rate higher than an 8 is pearl. He is the only one I play and think I am going to lose before the game even begins. This is not to take anything away from any1 else, it's just that he is the only one that I would have to admit fear on my part.3. There are plenty of guys that I would rank along the same line as myself. Ra, Scar(before his time off),mjn4,Gun(who probably puts himself in a higher category), herm(when he isn't experimenting), mord(who I'm positive puts himself higher).4. The guys who in my opinion are 1 category below only because they haven't shown cosistency with their game...lets not name names on this one, I'm sure they all know who they are. No slams intended in this post. Just some nerds opinion. :O :-X
Megashrap Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 Well my game is better now. I just had way too many interuptions alot. But now I built the wife n kids thier own pc, so I have my own little PC nook to myself now hehe.
alchemi2 Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 Well my game is better now. I just had way too many interuptions alot. But now I built the wife n kids thier own pc, so I have my own little PC nook to myself now hehe.Now that's something i need to try, although the kids often go off to play their Gamecubes these days. Getting the wife to not interupt a game or recognise the fact that you can't hold a conversation (especially making eye contact) whilst play a game online, is just a pipedream. ;)
Megashrap Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 Yea, it's a very nice setup..here's a pic of my modem only mine has 2 antennas...This is the card I use for other PC..and with both PC's working at the same time here's what speeds I get...So now I have no interuptions thank god. This setup is from Bellsouth and runs about 40 bucks a month. Also with the speeds I get now, it makes all my online games 5 times smoother and better/faster.Plus I can hook up to 4 PC's not that I need to, but I can and each would have the same speeds if they are all running at the same time.Just an awesome setup. Now all I need to do is upgrade PC, just waiting on income tax then I'm gonna go all out with new one.
erjin999 Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 One of THE most annoying things is to be playing a game and then get interruptions. I know exactly what you mean about eye contact in game, alchoman, aint gonna happen love ;D.Des old boy, I would be glad to hear about your idea of ranking of players above and below your level. It always interests me to hear how other peoples opinions differ (or agree) with my own. For example, I would have to put jeff and spazo in their own leagues, my opinion of course, cos those two used to (and spaz still does) give me the shits before a game starts (but dont tell jeff, his head is big enough ::)).
alchemi2 Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 It always interesting to see where people put you or even themselves, what i love about this game is how i have seen some players go from the awe of how the hell do you build that quick or do that!!! to having my butt kicked all over the shop by them ( you know who you are)Now a days i love playing just for the joy of the game so i don't really worry about being owned 1vs1 but i do worry in 2vs2 or 3vs3 player games, hate to be the one to let the side down, which often means i try and step up a gear in those, unless I'm wasted and then it's oops time. ;) 8)
kingpoker Posted November 30, 2006 Author Posted November 30, 2006 well des in my opinion and most peoples opinions your ranking is wanked out m8
Megashrap Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 So now your speaking for others as is you have some sort of telepathic ability?
alchemi2 Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 Kingpoker you really need to grow up, your childish antics are now becoming quite annoying. Please feel free to go play some populist crap game with hundreds of other kiddies, where your behaviour will be considered acceptable and your abilities be appreciated by your fellow juveniles. ::) :P
pearlmen Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 I agree with someone. He already mentioned thatThese threads are silly since people only list their friends in the categories... Or they just list people that they see other people list ...due to them being ignorant of what skill really looks likeso LET ME SAY THAT JUST IN MY OPINIONace, harkdawg, airdron, skum0m3n, jeff, mord, apo, scorphie those are top rankers in my prejudiceand there are(were)many ppl overrun me.but who care their ranking all about that in this small community? :P just enjoy this game. peace out
GUNWOUNDS Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 ranking yourself vs other people is somewhat of a weird science.....the best way i can describe it is how your gut feels when teams are selected.If you are paired with someone and you feel like you're going to lose horribly because that person feels like deadweight or a liability or a handicap......and you feel pissed off that you got stuck with that person.... then you obviously rank that person much much lower than yourself.If you feel somewhat uneasy and think you will have to play your best game to win....and you wish you had gotten a better person.... then you probably rank them slightly lower than you.if you feel a slight hint of contentment when you are given your teammate....and think teams are fair and lets have it a go.... then you probably feel they are equal to you.If you you are paired with someone who envigorates you and makes you feel happy cuz you think they are adding a fine boost to your team and really give you a psychological boost.... then you probably rank that person higher than yourself.gun
GUNWOUNDS Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 Other points to consider....If people constantly request that you "watch a game" even if its not a rematch....you're probably a 4 or less.If people seldomly ask you to watch a game (except in cases of rematch) then you're probably a 6 or higher.If people constantly COMPLAIN that you and PEARL (or SPAZ) are not allowed to be allied in any circumstances as it would unbalance the game.... then you and that person are most likely 8 or higher. This is a kicker for me.... people never find it acceptable for me and pearl or me and spaze to be allied together in any circumstances..... and if i ever call such teams i am immediately whined at. If people dont find it unreasonable for you to ally with spaz or pearl then you most likely are a 7 or lower.So the way i calculate my rank is with this logic:I am not asked to watch.People find it unacceptable for me to ally with spaz or pearl.People are happy to have me on their team.I fit the 8-9 profile description on page 1Considering these factors i am probably 8-9.As for des or scar... i would say they are 7ish simply due to the fact that des/pearl(or spaz) or scar/pearl(or spaz)... doesnt strike me as unfair.... the way pearl/gun or spaz/gun would be unfair.There are little sociological/psychological hints that sorta give your rank away and i think i've listed most of them above.Gun
Megashrap Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 I can live with 7-ish. That's about how I kinda rated myself, I just didn't want to rate myself but have someone else rate me. However now with no more interuptions like before all the time when I played I will play alot better I think. Nothing like having your own PC nook to play at full concentration on the game. ;D
erjin999 Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 Yeah, guns, thats roughly what I meant when I said about ranking players, you can gauge your ranking of someone by how you feel about them in the game.By the way, I have in the past been guilty of calling spaze and jeff and cbrick and those types unfair in teams amongst themselves. It is still unfair, I just dont give a monkeys anymore, so I play it anyway and try to learn.Really strange, and maybe I missed out on it when I used to play regularly, but I didnt bump in to pearldude much, and when I did I didnt rate him much higher, if equal to, scar/ra rank (those two are equal in my mind).
