Overall Points

[TheKomodo]

CF won 78 overall points from cFc this season winning 4 games while losing 2; thats the facts.

Yah and that makes sense, cuz we are so close in points and skill, but playing other clans seems pointless where points are concerned.

I think Randoms point was that you didn't dominate us in "every way possible" - you just won playoffs and played way more games than we did. We got a higher winning percentage and won more games vs cFc.

lovely topic rofl

yeah, komo is always good for some nice topics... **rolls eyes**

Ok fair enough, not every way, sorry, but Seasonal/PO, generally, we did.

And I liked our games, we done some nice games this Season we should do it more often xD

The overall points are supposed to show how strong a clan/player is. If 100 points are played by clan A and the overall points stay about the same, that shows that the rating system works as it should and depicted clan A's strength accurately.
Ratings shows up people's relative strength, e.g. if clan A has 200 points more than clan B, that means clan A should win about 75% of the games against clan B.
If in 100 games, clan A wins 75 games, then that's a good result, no doubt. But it's a result that accurately reflects the rating difference. Therefore, the rating difference of 200 points should still be there after those 100 games.

Overall points have nothing to do with seasonal playoffs, so it can't be considered punishment.

No matter how many times you repeat this crap, it's never ever going to be true, because so many other clans do not play as much as they can when they can and care/not care about who plays what, i've said both care and not care because there are clans who don't take it seriously and clans who take it seriously.

So what I said, is still true, no matter who wants to deny it, or who wants to try and look smart by repeating the same crap, I already know.

Why can't you understand this? It's bloody simple. You keep going on about "this statistic and that statistic equals this statistic" and you all sound smart but what you ALWAYS fail to take into account is the simple fact theres no damn rythem or flow in this League, if it wasn't for people/clans who avoid/carefully time their games.

For example, I am not saying this is a bad thing, each are good in their own way, honestly, I am using it as an example lol:

CF - They play very very seriously, way way way more serious than any other clan on WNET, they almost never play without their strongest team on, how often do you see them play without their 1 man army Random? I loved our CF vs cFc games this Season I think we got on pretty well and had a laugh, I really really wanna do that more often, I even posted in their forums before asking for a 8 game, every scheme, with best squads on, but they never got back to me on that really, I think Rene posted "cool idea" and that was it lol.

cFc - We are guilty of both here, we have members who take it serious and never want to lose, and we have members who just enjoy playing and don't care about points, lalo couldn't believe it when we lost PO to CKC the other day and I literally just sat there rolled a joint, smiled and said I enjoyed it, I wish it was that cool to lose to everyone else, I think during the last game lalo was preparing to leave the house in fear for his life incase I took a mad turn...

mm - These guys have so much skill it's ridiculous, but they simply do not give a f@#! about points.

So you see, it's pointless to say "it reflects your skill level" when it clearly doesn't, it reflects more how "professional" a clan is and "how serious" they take it.

Like, why should I be called an avoider or lame just because I care more about winning/losing than others? I don't want to play Elite/T17 because I KNOW I will lose, it's not a case of "might lose" it's "WILL lose" I don't see the point in suicide, that's for idiots... Seriously lol, watch the Elite cFc lost to mm, me and oldsock, the most pathetic thing you will ever see lol, but I enjoyed it, because at the time it was funny and a good atmosphere, well, until the BnG lol.

I've said this a million times and I seem to be the only person to realise it, the Overall Points system is a joke and will not work because there is no "set way" of playing Clanners, because some take it seriously, some don't and some varies, we should introduce handicaps or f@#!ing something to make it more realistic, cuz i'll tell you this for free, CF and cFc wouldn't appear so strong/good if every single clan tried their hardest every time, if everyone else played every scheme against everyone else no matter how good or bad they are, I'd be f@#!ing estatic to do it myself, in fact it'd make me wanna play even more.

The rating system doesn't work for this game, it never has, and never will, just f@#!ing accept that already rofl...

komo you're the only one taking them this seriously, they're just overall points

my best advice? harness this passion of yours into a detailed solution. that's what many did before this new system was put in place.

Yah, Seasonal points is great, it's nice to play for Season Standings now xD

Every idea I have had so far is owned simply because people can play whenever they want as much as they want, nothing can't be abused with this point system.

But for now I said to lalo, i'm just gonna play as much as I can with madog and him and not even think about points, play what we want when we want and just aim for PO, because the gameset we had with CKC was more fun/furfilling than the short times we've actually been at #1 Overall, I shouldn't take it so serious.

Oh, and thanks for not being a bit selfish and acting like a prick like some of the others +1

[darKz]

Have you tried talking to your clanmates about focusing on the overall standings a little more instead of blaming the system all the time Dave? I think that would make a lot more sense than ranting about how everything is unfair. <3

So what I said, is still true, no matter who wants to deny it, or who wants to try and look smart by repeating the same crap, I already know.

No matter how many times you repeat this crap, it's never ever going to be true. I'm simply rewording everything that's been said by Éló Árpád (the guy who invented the system, for crying out loud) about rating, you don't have to take my word for it (and you clearly aren't). Another thing you don't seem to understand. If I explains something to someone, I don't do it "to look smart", I do it to explain something to that person. Contrary to what you may believe, I don't need confirmation of whether or not I'm smart, I'm quite confident about my strength and weaknesses. I would appreciate it if you stopped trying to make me look like a prick when I'm only trying to explain something. So far, I've only see you turning an explanation into something bad.

what you ALWAYS fail to take into account is the simple fact theres no damn rythem or flow in this League. Why can't you understand this? It's bloody simple. You keep going on about "this statistic and that statistic equals this statistic" and you all sound smart but what you ALWAYS fail to take into account is the simple fact theres no damn rythem or flow in this League, if it wasn't for people/clans who avoid/carefully time their games.

You don't seem to understand what statistics are about. Statistics say something about big numbers. If you take the above example, then if you play 10,000 games, you'd win 7,500 of them if you're in clan A (plus or minus a few). But within those games, you may have a winning percentage of 90% in the first 100, a winning percentage of 30% in the next hundred etcetera, etcetera. Everybody has their good days and bad days, which influences your results for the better and the worst and so ratings don't say all too much about the very next game you're going to play (although it does help in predicting), but it does have something to say about the next 100 games you play.

[long chat about clan tactics]

The things you mention are all fine and dandy, but you're only mentioning things that influence skill (or rather, how difficult it is to beat a clan in the case of clanners). If someone's gonna f@#! around in his games, then that will influence his results in a negative way, so of course this is going to mean they have a lower rating. If another player with the same potential uses any and all tactics to get a win, regardless of the fun in the game, then of course it's going to be more difficult to beat him and the rating should reflect that.

You keep talking about rewards and getting snuffed for being better, but the rating system isn't about that at all. And as long as you give the impression that you don't understand that, I will keep repeating what I've said earlier. Rewards are taken care of otherwise (playoffs, cup medals, tournament medals, etcetera).

[TheKomodo]

D1 I wasn't talking directly to you, I meant everyone who keeps telling me about the ELO system, I know the ELO system, I know it works, but it doesn't work with the way WA works for Clanners, I ain't trying to make you look like a prick, I just find it pointless to keep telling me something I already know.

Rene, it's up to the rest of cFc how they play and I respect that.

"mm - These guys have so much skill it's ridiculous, but they simply do not give a f@#! about points."

thanks for the shout out!! hauhuah

but thats not exactly true! we care, we are just not sticklers... we are going to lol @ a funny moment or a silly f@#! up or fall, more then we are going to get overly worked up about a win/loss....  we love to win as everyone else but its not our main goal.

needles to say, i get lol'ed @ alot :DD



komo: i say this in all seriousnesss... maybe you should start your own clan? i remember u once saying something about bringing a clan to the top.... here ya go buddy, nows your chance.... if you dont like the way the system works for the top ranked clan, start in the gutter...  you and maddog break away from cfc.

[HHC]

I'd like to propose a lock on this thread.

Tears will be shed..

Yah you've said more of less what I mean about mm, that's exactly how I see mm, they f@#! around sometimes but never to be underestimated, and I am happy with cFc, like I said this wasn't a complaint.
