TWDT25 Prize Money Breakdown: GET RICH OR CRY TRYIN!

[Dwopple]

HOOOOOOOOOLY HYPE POST.

We're coming up on the final regular season week of TWDT 25 and the playoff race is fuckin' TIGHT. In week 3 we saw r1p1t1 claw back from #5 to switch ladder standings with Win or Die to end up #2. Week 4 features 9 GAMES (3/3/3) for teams to solidify their playoff berths and have a chance at competing to take home some prize money. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.



Thanks to legendary Dad and Wirah we have $2600 in prize money available to use this season. With the deep roster sizes this season, RaCka and I have decided on emphasizing the rewards go to the winning teams, while leaving some available for top players in each ship. See below for this breakdown.

1 week left of the regular season and just as we all expected we see Riversides Sunshine poopers sit in last place..

Can’t wait to see my boy Sprackle in Javelin this Sunday instead of shark as a 9.5 and Papi Stayon in Lancaster instead of Spider loool #SurvivingRiversideAsCap

Still think there should be some kind of “Drafted-By-Riverside” consolation prize… #ISurvived #MeToo

Just going to leave this here.

Hey Dwopple
, RaCka , since there was a "forfeit" on one of my games it says that i have played 4 games even though i have only played 3. The kill per game avg isnt right, i think.

This doesnt really concern me but i believe sprackle and racka were also in that "forfeit" so if their stats are closer to the top you might need to check into it. Also, RaCka has 9 games played but i counted 7 on his profile.

Hey Jones, thanks for pointing this out. I've passed this info on to hopefully be resolved on the site soon and I will post an update.

Dwopple Sprackle If we're talking about bugfixes to stats, subs or shipchanges turn your rating for the match to 0. I got subbed out and then back in to a game on Sunday and my rating for the match was 0 (despite my 3 super sick TeKs). Jus sayin.

This has been fixed. Thanks again for pointing it out.

After chatting w/ BIET, this looks like it's a Matchbot issue with no real "easy" way to test bug fixes aside from changing the code, and running a TWBD game w/ ship changes to see the results. Not impossible to fix, but also not a lot of dev-time available currently. It may be something we can coordinate fixing & testing after this TWDT season concludes.

So it's a conspiracy and you hate me more than Klean-X? I hope your dinner arrives at your table cold tonight.

AT LEAST IT'S NOT SKIN CANCER <3

If subs/switches are showing as 0, this might be a site display issue. Technically the sub rating is -1 in the database. In the bot code, these ratings just show as a blank when displayed. If the site's factoring those ratings in, it could take down overall ratings, so it's worth checking to see if that's the case. Ideally the site would just show a blank, star, etc.

Due to how ratings are constructed, switches and subs just invalidate a rating. So ratings would need to be reworked in order to give a rating in such situations. That's pretty low-priority, unfortunately.

Happy Friday everyone,

TWDT HYPE!!



Retired from (really) playing the game(suh)
Beings can be different
They don't grow the same(uh)
I laugh at those few self centered fuckers still using my name
Trying to inflict a pain
Theyll say
"Its one I overcame!"
Spewing the usual shit they speak
Look at the way he writes
Look at the way he plays
In a 2d spaceship game!
"He must have lost a body part
Or a piece of his brain"
A script they've used on others
As they giggled and twiddled
Their online fingers away
I expect them to keep e-coming
Different or the same
Add it to that dumbass quotes machine
Or another segment on an online Hot or Not
Meant to enhance TWs competitive gaming community

(Here comes another reminder
Buddy was paid in USD
So theres apparently
Limited accountability
For the words he speaks)
In the online (claus)House
He eats sleeps and breathes beneath

As I observe that dumbass aim
With some laughter
Pity, empathy
And sometimes glee

Here's a Freebie since I know you here
And maybe its one you can learn from
Read it clear
And with intent,
E-child

This version, you,
Bean?
Behind those
4 screens?
Spectatoringly?

Like your warbird game
Following what you see
Instead of creating chances yourself
Follow a 10*
Rinse and repeat?
Reminds me of a fucking sheep.

What i see
From those actions and words I read
Very clearly

Another,
Fucking,
Lame.


Thanks for reading!

While I do NOT think I'm actually a better shark than any players that are higher than me on the leaderboard, I am having trouble understanding what carries the most weight when deciding the shark rankings. Going through each stat:

-I have the best W:L ratio of the top 4 after playing 5 games - I have the third most kills (only 1 kill behind second most) BUT I've done that in two less games than anyone else in the top 4
- I have the highest KPD and KPM of anyone in the top 15
- I have the most TEKS of any shark
- I have the second most flag touches of the top 4
- I have the highest in the top 4 RPD at 3.0
- I've achieved my kills with less mines and second to least bombs
-I've done all of this as an 8.5* with mostly better stats than the 9* and 10* above me.

Again, I do NOT think I'm the better shark, I'm just looking for some clarity as to what I'm missing that would push me higher on the leaderboard?
