Fuck you, Mirrorrim.

LOL MANNE'D

[Stabwound]

TWL isn't going to have 2 terrs, so that's that.

[Pearl Jam]

this thread is a mess

some of us don't like being forced to play 5 spiders in the same way a squad doesn't want to be forced to play a special. it goes both ways. and before you respond with "WELL THEN PLAY UR SPECIAL OK NERD?" - i'm not a complete moron, I realize 5 spiders is the best lineup to go with if you want to win right now and that playing a special is a more interesting, but not necessarily more efficient option.

so either change some settings on some of the ships to make them viable options in future competition (i'm not saying right now, i do agree that testing needs to be done prior to installing it into actual competition), or something. i realize that's a big task that will take time to develop, but there are 8 ships- lets not limit ourselves to picking from 3 for years and years. creativity time, bitches.

En ymmärrä sinun puheistasi yhtään mitään, tiedän vaan sen että sinulla on mokkakikkeli.

I've played TWLB a couple seasons, and random LD here and there. I've only played 10 years, not 15. I rarely even sit in a public arena since I was on Dependency in 00-02/3 because that superterr thing was fun. The problem with you is, you don't even have your facts straight. You think because you've played some playoff LB that you're automatically right? 12 and 14 year olds have won on LB squads, it really has nothing to do with presenting an arguement worth listening to. You do realize the more you talk, the more damage you're doing to the very point you're trying to ma... oh that's right, that was just a personal attack with no point whatsoever. You're smart!

and the whole balls dropping this wasnt a personal attack with no point whatsoever either? you're smart too!!!!
dumbass
and plz, i dont want u to quote this and have me read another 6 story lecture as to why you think you're a smartass, so keep it 2 one sentence, thx

[MirrorriM]

Of all the contradictory and flawed things underlined in Mirrorrims voting attempts etc by me and Pascone, all she can do is reply to some silly 'lying' thing I mentioned. Wow, starting to turn into another Dwopple almost. But I guess like other people have mentioned, truth or logic has nothing to do with what people in power will consider or go at lengths to establish.

Haha alright. Yep, I only replied to that one thing you said. Forget the other threads. Keep basing your argument on ad hominem, which doesnt prove anything. Anyways, I should have stopped the discussion long ago, since you are far too late in complaining. More threads on this will be deleted.

Ricko: They just play in the 2 weeks of preseason, simple enough.

-------------------------------------------------------

Okay I gotta admit defeat now. A certain higher up decided to change the ?go base bot to points race and remove 2 terrs from TWBD and threatened the bot guys that they would be fired if they changed anything, without telling me. (waits for applause to end). It provides truth for what I was looking for so I'm satisfied with how things have turned out. Gotta make one controversial decision as a TWL Op, right? :P No more 2 terrs! TWL has been saved.

[Jeenyuss]

man pure_luck is a faggot.

[Funk]

Im not even going to read all the posts. About the basing thing it's BASING. It's all ships, I don't know why people whine about anything. Why do you think adding ships is going to ruin it? Because it makes it harder to play against them? Get your fingers out of your cunts and man up! If you say it's no good let the noobs do it. Should just make things easier for you.

[Dwopple]

Im becoming more convinced dwopple keeps posting the same shit to increase his post count.:fear:

you post the same thing in all your posts, hop off the nuts here big boi.


and im glad for the no 2 terr rule.

EARLY offseason (after this season) we should try to figure out ways to change things up a bit since we will have a good deal of time

[DankNuggets]

hmm

so one/two squads complained that, even though the new rule isn't going to affect them (they won't play it, their competition probably won't play it), it's been removed?

so even though it's pretty much a sure thing that the change wouldn't have affected even 1 game, it's been removed. It's pretty much a sure thing that it wouldn't cause a 15-0 game (honestly after 10 mins of failing, why do you think they wouldn't go back to their original strategy? Plus the few tests of it didn't produce blow-outs)

you shouldn't have even told anyone about the change (with maybe the exception of diso, so they could surprise everyone).

do you really need a month to test it? are you really that dependent on one boilerplate strategy that you couldn't find another way to win anyway? That says a lot about your skills as a player, and a lot about your skills at following a pattern.

The best basing team should win regardless of ship restrictions, ship changes, or even map changes. As a matter of opinion, it would show even more dominance if a team is adaptable enough to win given several scenarios, as opposed to practicing and perfecting one monotonous method.

This makes NO SENSE WHAT SO EVER. Maybe it should have been presented earlier, but as everyone with any common sense has said, it really wouldn't have made a difference: Squads are going to stick with what they feel comfortable with that they think will help them win.

So in essense, the only way you could possible be against the rule change is if you thought it would dramatically diminsh your chances of winning. No one has provided any evidence (albeit some far-fetched 15-0 promises from out of the blue that were initially disproven) that this strategy would hinder your team's ability to win. NONE WHAT SO EVER. If anything, it would help you if the other team did it (although that seems to be a BIG problem for some people on here, i guess they think they're so good the only way anyone can come close to them is by keeping the same strategy they've used for years).




Go ahead and dismiss it, because since i've never played TWLB, i must not have a clue how any of this works. It's way too complicated to figure out from a few bds or pub base games or pages upon pages of arguments. It's THAT compicated. There's NO WAY anyone who hasn't won an LB title could possibly improve upon this game. Grow up and take it in stride, maybe it'll make you a better player (or are yall so good there's no room for improvement?)

Mirrirom-
you seem to be one of the most level-headed people on staff, though maybe a bit naive with the reactions this would get. i hope you can see past the squad rivalries that are comsuming this debate and really ask yourself "How big of an effect will this really have? Will this ruin TWLB?" Those are really the only two questions that should figure in. How well it's accepted by people who think they've got it in the bag, and don't want anything to spoil it shouldn't really factor in.


EDIT: one more thing: if any squad boycotts TWL, they should be permabanned from ever competing in it. it's a contest of team skills, not team egos. With all the fuss over teams dropping out, i'd think hard about allowing teams in who threaten to "walk out" over a slight rule change. After all, it's not up to them to set the rules, but to follow them.

[Salubrious]

man pure_luck is a faggot.

a huge cocksucking faggot, yes

Good effort mirror, and better luck next time. In the future, upper staff should probably get together and discuss these things better, instead of undermining each other's authorities by making decisions based on personal bias.

That wasn't a personal attack to anyone

except to pure_luck and pascone, even though pascone isn't a twl op anymore, but I like saying his name regardless. it's fun. pascone.

[Zeebu]

stop

you cant even tell its a horse anymore

[PrOnEsSim]

So when is TWL date going to be announced? Any time soon...almost late October!
