he moves in the 1 game we are playing in together. He whined his last 4 moves so like always, im sure a negative feedback is coming.Blitzaholic wrote:play a few dozen team games qeee1 if you are that worried about it, there are several super singles players who have lost points over all in teams, there rank has gone down from team play, zaw and andrewo are some and there are a few others like robinette as well, and others, so they dont seem to do well at teams and there rank gets hurt from it, and they are all awesome players, but lose points and rank when they play team games, so, depends on the player, there is skill at both and luck at both, do what is best for you.qeee1 wrote:So you're saying it's not biased in favour of team games?SKETRS wrote:Johnny didn't sound arrogant to me.

gl in your journey and I thought you said your were done here? I invited you to play some games, but you said you were leaving, yet you posted 20 to 30 times in here last few days, and not playing any games? why? you are a super player qeee1 and should play a little more bro, peace.
for once wicked is correct. I should be number 1wicked wrote:You guys are under the false impression that the scoreboard shows you who the best player is. The "best" players here have nothing to do with points. The scoreboard shows who has accumulated the most points, in order, nothing else. Doesn't rank who's "best".
A CC olympics would be cool to really find this out for sure.....a designated group of games played not for points, but for wins or losses...just to show some serious competition...I really would love to see a no points area that we could use for this...It would open up a whole new way to playJOHNNYROCKET24 wrote:for once wicked is correct.

team games aren't my style, they're not so much fun for me because there's no psychology involved. Well not to the same extent anyway. I'm an average team game player, like I was an average singles player, before I got practice. I'm not automatically good at things, like when I started I was down near 900 points I think, but I learn well.Blitzaholic wrote:play a few dozen team games qeee1 if you are that worried about it, there are several super singles players who have lost points over all in teams, there rank has gone down from team play, zaw and andrewo are some and there are a few others like robinette as well, and others, so they dont seem to do well at teams and there rank gets hurt from it, and they are all awesome players, but lose points and rank when they play team games, so, depends on the player, there is skill at both and luck at both, do what is best for you, i lost over or around 900 in teams in last month, not good, and won 150 or so in singles. depends on the players, all skills and strat are different for players, it's individualized.qeee1 wrote:So you're saying it's not biased in favour of team games?SKETRS wrote:Johnny didn't sound arrogant to me.

so it's true...qeee1 wrote:As for me quitting, yes I am, I'm just waiting for my remaining commitments to finish off.Blitzaholic wrote:... and I thought you said your were done here?
I must admit I'm more into the community aspect of the site then the playing, but once I finish up playing I'll disappear from here too. Just happened to be a bunch of topics here recently that interested me.
Then, what is the official purpose of rank/points? In all other things, a rankings scoreboard would be a rough rating of ability. I realize the system can never be perfect, but you're saying it has nothing to do with anything, so why do we even have it at all?wicked wrote:You guys are under the false impression that the scoreboard shows you who the best player is.

oh, but it does have something to do with it wicked. the very best of the best players on this site are ranked over 2000, maybe not all who are there, but a vast majority, if you took a poll and there has been some in the past of who the best players on the site were bu cc community, i can guarentee you that vast majority will have solid rankings. some of the names that were mentioned were: and not in this order,wicked wrote: The "best" players here have nothing to do with points.

osujacket, scorba, mm17, nuke, blitzaholic, poo-maker, qeee1, juventino, zaw, robinette, andrewb, cyberdaniel, lazaruslong, eye84free, alstergren, akiceman, cmeb4udie, bretzsky, marvaddin, pedronicus, rlorange, etc... these were some of the names that a lot considered months ago, now I am sure there is several more, but the point is, they are not only super players, but they got great rankings, and I highly doubt any of them will ever drop below a 2000 rank, and if so, it will never last long, they will rise, so the scoreboard does have something to do with being the best, obviously not everything NO, but you do have to factor it in some coupled with other variables, true? I think most agree, and this is also evidenced by the cc players in this community, most anyways.
Does it show who the best is? No! Does it show that a few dozen are so far ahead of many others? YES.
So, the scoreboard does play a part, not the whole part, but a part.

If anything should be done it should be that you can not play newbies if you have 3k points. If you have 3k points you should at least play some more experienced players. Lets say 1600 is a cutoff for 3k players. Only really free points is taken from newbies.alstergren wrote:Yes. I have to agree with a lot of people above.
Of course the current system is broken! It’s unfair since people get points when playing with other settings than the honourable ones. People abuse it and chase scores. And most importantly, people becomes so used to getting scores all over the place that they grow soft and believes that they are entitled to points.
After months of pondering, I made a suggestion to amend the system a week ago. Predictably though, all the abusers and team players were against it…![]()

Hey, I actually like triples, it's only a happy coincidence it is the best game type for points. I'd play it even if it yielded the least points.alstergren wrote:It’s unfair since people get points when playing with other settings than the honourable ones.


So you're saying it's just a coincidence blitz chooses low ranking partners, or that nearly all the highest ranked people on the scoreboard play almost exclusively doubles and triples.Capt Killroy wrote:ok fireside first off you make no sense , if blitz get only 8 points per victory how in hell is he buffing anything .i would love to see some cols and gens come and play us ,
