sure, the word competitive can mean what you've said, komo, but competitive has multiple definitions, and ropa was clearly using it in the sense of risk, reward, advantage, etc, and you have not proven that hysteria qualifies as competitive under that standard. The statistics make it clear that many people played hysteria in the league... how does this in any way tell us about the intricate details of the scheme, the tactics, the logic of the game? Those intricate details, the tactics, and logic of the scheme are what ropa was using when saying competitive... pretty clearly... If you really went through all of the trouble to argue with ropa about an alternate word definition, one he clearly wasn't referring to, then that is just sad.. you wasted a lot of space on this thread
ShyGuy, ropa said Hysteria isn't competitive, I said he was wrong, I was right...
I agree with you, I haven't proven anything, not to you at least, to myself now that's a different matter, you talk about risk, reward, and advantage, ok, he thinks there is none, I whole-heartedly disagree, there are other risks you can take which pay off in Hysteria, most early and mid-games of Hysteria are full of risk & reward as well as fisk & epic failure, some risks take longer to pay off than others, for example, personally speaking, I sometimes like killing their worms early, so they pile me, and then kill my worms, and the game will end faster, because I am confident that I am good enough a player I can win endgame fast even if they have an advantage.
Now, yes, I am indeed guilty of being a bit mad, and taking extreme risks, just for the sake of making a game faster, but to me, that's a very very satsfying reward.
And anyway, ropa acts like killing 2 worms and not being at an advantage is a scheme flaw, umm, how is it, it's just part of the game... It's something we all know and expect to happen, that isn't a scheme flaw, that's just a scheme event, like, a route, or a path you can choose.... You don't get this option with Roper do you? You don't get it with TTRR do you? They are all straight forward... I think this makes Hysteria even more competitive.
