I almost never play especially well real-time. I use RT as a place to try out stuff I dont have much faith in, and the focus is on chatting, interesting games and learning rather than winning. I also tend to play RT for 10hrs straight or as a warm up to my multiday games, so I'm not at my best anyway. In the ladder I always bring my A game, which is still inconsistant but I beat more than my fair share.
I wish more people realised this, I think it gives the impression that I am over-rated. =/
A lot of other top players do their best RT and some dont ever play anything else, it's a shame. Especially because one off games aren't as fun as 5 in a row. I think my playstyle relies too much on every turn being precise and well calculated. One bad turn and the whole house of cards comes down, so I will either have to start playing differently or never be an especially good RT player. I am slowly writting a play book that should make me able to cut out a lot of thinking.
Nah, when someone in the top 3 drops out it pretty much always means there will be a day in the next week where everyone stays the same or moves up. When me timi and zibik all dropped out within 1 week practically the whole ladder went blue.
It'd be tough to argue that these players wouldn't be towards the top regardless of whether they were in WM. And if they aren't very active within the clan then it doesn't make it any more attractive to join them.
This is the same stupidity which most people have towards clans, which is all based on how good the players are. If being a member of {warlighters} helps you improve and gets you in more enjoyable games, it doesn't matter how bad their players are.
Despite the wording x, your point is valid. Clans are generally joined to have more fun on the game, so depending on what people consider 'fun', any clan could be the best for them.
