I won't address skill cause u don't use a basis for determining it that allows for any argument.  in every ranking system that was based on performance I have been within the top 15 for the last 5 months and I get to finals in a ton of tournaments and win some so I'm satisfied with my performance.


You can't really use those old ladders and ranks as accurately, because most of the better players chose not to be on them or didn't participate. Even I was in the top 5 for some of those and obviously I'm really not THAT good

Because backing up points and statements with an actual argument is a terrible thing? At least it isn't, "jur gay" or "off my nutz". ;)

ROFL @ vid, and i agree with drez on the subject, he generalized the facts and superbly put him in his place. Honestly i've been against the ratings before you came to be in the community. I don't really agree with putting up something so useless, that has to be changed daily and requires input from every player on the list 24/7. Thus halting the very thought of a rating system because no one has that sorta time on their hands. No one except someone with no life perhaps.

Angel my point was more or less I can't do anything to change people's opinions. I've beaten people 5 out of 6 only to have them turn around and say I suck compared to them.

some of the largest proponents of saying I suck have been owned by me several times in a row and just go right on talking shit.

People go on about this whole they just inconsistent thing. well the truth of the matter is consistency is what makes u good at most competitive games. I mean when I was bowling the other day I was throwing 4 or 5 strikes every game. but since I was inconsistent my score wasn't that high, and it was very clear I'm not a good bowler. When people make skill assessments not based on performance and use weird things such as their own lack of consistency etc. there isn't much of a way to prove my skill to them.

oh and to twisted it doesn't require constant input from people. and you have no idea how long the rating does or doesn't take. I do all of the updates when I'm bored in classes and I can keep it going. obviously it doesn't tak as much time as you think. and as to the ratings accuracy in all honesty the list looks pretty accurate to me with a few exceptions. but again as I mentionned above consistency is everything in competition. so the people who have good days then can't show up for tournaments etc. shouldn't be considered that good.

,Mar 5 2008, 09:45 AM] That has to be one of the shittiest analogies I've ever seen.

Which anaology Dragon the bowling one. it makes perfect sense but I could use another example.

lets say chess for instance. I know some chess players (I used to be one before I disciplined myself to focus better) that have some really brilliant strategies occasionally and every once in a while will beat some really high rated players. however they often blunder away a simple advantage and then lose. therefore they lose most of their games and are not considered good players.

in football noone cares if u occasionally make great catches. if u don't consistently make every catch thats thrown dead on ur not gunna get recruited. same with quarterbacks if ur not consistent u won't get very far.

Basketball u have to consistently make shots. just making something from half court every once in a while and noone cares.

Baseball is consistency.

checkers is consistency.

every competitive game/sport I can think of your skill is largely tied into your consistency. evolves is the same way. this is why players like neo are able to do well. I've played neo a lot and he doesn't do any part of the game exceptionally. he just survives through other people's good parts then slowly wittles away the advantage and beats you when u fuck up. if u judge people by their best game neoline would be horrible. yet he beats a lot of the top players frequently because of his consistency.

I really don't want to get into this whole flame thing..

But like I told you already sneaky,, Vadin was banning everyone in the channel one by one (after reading the logs he banned 9 people before drezzic did anything, including me) when Drezzic asked if he could sweep ban the channel and told everyone to move to op bang. You have disagreements with drezzic.. and I did as well.. but drezzic did nothing wrong there ^-^
