Can be that the system does not give a result so real as it, quite as for me when I had beaten the previous record... But the result is that Oliebol has no defeats and has already beaten my record and risks to place it higher !

For this : Congrats Oliebol ! ;)

Ah, this is why he has been taking a turn every 2 and a half days against me. Stay classy Ollie.

Mr Brightside: You got a ratings boost coming if you are winning that game, piggy.

"Any 1v1 system that has Zibik or HHH with over 40 games played and doesn't rank them in the top 5 should be questioned." HHH hasn't played an impressive ladder game in months, and is where he should be. He loses to people in the top 10 *a lot*, and I don't understand why people think he is especially good. The overall ability level on the ladder is so much higher than it was when he was no.1

I don't suppose a bump will come until he is losing 5/5 games and then I'd suggest he will surrender them all at the same time so that in 3 months when they all expire at the same time he can try this shit again.

Okay I am going to look at his games, if anyone has any games in common with him on ME 1v1 I'd be interested to see them.

That's the spirit! 1v1 is war!

Which active members are better than HHH?

HHH is a warlight junkie and plays with everybody on everything all the time... He makes regular RR's on strat. 1vs1. When you play competetively in those rr's (meaning trying to get to 1st place) you get a natural feeling who you compete against for the 1st place. I played in a few, not always competetively, but I always knew that if I had a chance to win, I'd have to beat 2 people, HHH and Lollipop Guild. I agree that the ladder level is much higher, but I am quite certain HHH is playing below his skill level.

Not to mention when it came to new map and new settings he went 6/7 in 20 league...

Who is better? Take a look at the top 10. HHH plays safe and wins an absolute ton against average players (which is impressive in a way) and doesn't even put in an appearance against anyone with good picking strategies.

I've never been invited to one of HHH's RR ='( all I have really seen are ladder games. Would you like to post some of his games from back when he was on form? Lollipop Guild too if you'd like =)

o gui

Maybe Sze could make a 1v1 RR and invite whomever he thinks are best.

Isn't that pretty much what [20] is?

We could wait for that too.

I was curious about dead piggy's statement so I checked Oliebol's games. It seems he has 3-4 losses that have been dragged out so he could get to 15-0. Oliebol, the new Douchebag (a guy's name, not an insult). Who will exploit the system next?

wonder if my game with him would be finished, had i remembered to use Vacation.

i remember my 14 victories run, i was delaying 2 games, but than i stop doing that, when i talked with Gui and US in a game.

Anyway, the game was kind of champions luck for oliebol i guess, my booting helped a lot. So congratulations anyway, he did had to win all the other games. BUT, if the games he is loosing he continues to drag after the CLEAR surrendering point, than he will have no merit, just a common exploiter. We will see when the games are over. (delaying is a right you have, but up until the games is over).

I remember in this tournament we played against against a single guys in a 5v5 for many turns, up until elimination. He said he was having fun, but really he was being VERY disrespectfull with everybody else's time. The same in the ladder, toying with another players precious time to cover your own agenda is insulting.
Anyway, this can be not the case here, he maybe has chances and yet there are no games at clear surrendering point.

Wouldn't a simple remedy be to raise the amount of games required AND extend the time it takes for them to expire?

I don't think its actually a problem that needs fixing z-dog. We just like to have a whine every so often.

Yeah we are on turn 11 and he lost about turn 5. Starter slow playing turn 7. It would be less annoying if wasn't on 5 games at a time already.

It's like sports radio. Lots of opinions based on (some) facts.

Niko had the previous record? He didn't seem like anything special to me

http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=3507077

In that game Billy, Niko would've won had he gotten SEA the turn he wanted it. The problem of him not getting it is 2-fold.

1. He was delayed income that he could grab a second bonus with by the next turn.

2. Because there was a possibility of someone being in Indonesia, he now was forced to hit Thailand hard in order to not auto-lose the game.

^-- These 2 things added together delayed any planned entry into Iran, and had he gotten to Iran faster than you, it would be turned into his favor.

Anytime anybody wins or loses a list can be made like that. So what? I beat him, fairly easily.
