Quitting because things got too tough or weren't going your way is why the world ridicules nerds, cause that is the opinion they have of us, weak quitters. Suck it up and take your lumps like a man instead of whining about it and giving up. And if i get banned for saying so, so be it!

I'm glad that some of Cobra are so into it. Congratulations. However, there are those of us who realize that this is mainly a trivial pursuit we use to amuse ourselves. If all it is is the "let the Cobra team beat up on the Joe team" game, then your going to quickly lose your opponents because there's really no reason for us to play. I highly doubt that in real life any of the joes are "quitters". I for one know that in real life, where things matter, I tough it out and fight for whatever I believe should be mind. But I'm not going to turn a hobby into a knock down, drag out brawl for supremacy. I come here to relax, not to endure further controversy. |

For those interested in participating in the interim game, please post in the WC thread. I'll post the potential rosters there regularly, and when each team has approximately equal members and about 10 per side we'll start.

Yep, it's a game. And i can honestly say I would feel the same if things were reversed. I just feel cheated because i approached about joining the game some time ago but couldn't because it was in progress. So I waited for a new game to begin and really enjoyed it, and not just because my team was winning. I enjoyed the trash talking, the quips and comments made by both sides when various players would post their turns. It wasn't the victory I got cheated out of, that really doesn't matter to me, it is just a game.

It was the game itself that was taken away by the whining of a few, because stuff wasn't going their way. When we started I wondered why the Joes started with more HP, but didn't complain. Things stayed pretty much even for a few rounds too and it was fun. Then when the Cobra team started winning, the Joes LEADERSHIP throughs in the towel. Bad form, bad form.
However, somehow it worked out that the Joes could only do between 8 and 15 total damage to cobra a day, while cobra was doing between 29 and 44 damage per day (after heals). If you can see some way that that was possibly close, let me know, you're better at math than me. The Joe leadership had no choice but to throw in the towel or lose many of our players from demoralization and make the game basically unplayable in future rounds. The only reason they stayed even the first two days is because when you guys added a player on the first day we got a 21 HP bonus that evened that day's damage, and the second day the points were knocked to even. After that it was a rought. The Joe team has lost at least 3 in a row before that, but they've at least been relatively close, and because there was some vain hope there was no reason to restructure. But now, it is a sad necessity. |

Ok, guys. Let's move on. What's done is done.
Pyro's new interpretation is gonna knock your socks off. Seriously, he is hard at work, and I thank him in advance for it. Let's focus on the game at hand (to get us through). DH, thanks for your update. You and Swaf get your teams set. Cobra will be ready when you are. This game will use the following format: EVERYONE will be at the same rank (use 1 or 0 whatever). You will NOT incur rank points, as this is a "filler" game. Everyone will hurt or heal for 2. There will be a bonus for driverless vechs, so be aware. We can decide if we'd like their to be a Leader/Squader Leader bonus as well. The reset will not change (5am). Other than that, nothing else will change. PLEASE, let's all get along and have some fun here. I want to win, and I am sure the Joes do. Nothing wrong with that.

The game is over. Ranks were a small part of what happened in the last battle, and a convenient target. We need to just drop it, since it doesn't mean anything for the next game. Some people will like the new game, and there will be some that don't. Some will choose to not play. It is pointless to continue arguing over it.

Fair Enough.
The HPs are based on the ranks of the other team multiplied by 7, so a lower ranked team has more health because the higher ranked team does more damage. However, somehow it worked out that the Joes could only do between 8 and 15 total damage to cobra a day, while cobra was doing between 29 and 44 damage per day (after heals). If you can see some way that that was possibly close, let me know, you're better at math than me.

After that it was a rought. The Joe team has lost at least 3 in a row before that, but they've at least been relatively close, and because there was some vain hope there was no reason to restructure. But now, it is a sad necessity. Now I agree that the game needs restructured. Sorry for blastin you guys so hard. I hope the new game is more balanced and fun for both sides. I wanna win, but not if the other side doesn't have the same chance as mine. |
