ah, nevermind.  I just tried it, and like last time it doesn't show that it has selected my file, but it looks like it went through this time.

hm, last time I tried to was maybe months ago, always switching to IE8 to report ;d
now I know I can use chrome.  thanks, even though you didn't do anything x)

I don't know where you like website feedback, so I'll try here.

my browser is google chrome and whenever I report, I have to use IE8 because in chrome the long horizontal space for the replay filename isn't there (next to the Choose File button). so even if I click choose file and select the replay, nothing registers, and if I try to report, it says no replay or something.  ;d

what sCa replays you looking for?

darkz might find this elite amusing (back when there were crates in elite!)

ah, danke.  first turn usually my smooth turn ;d  looks like it was good enough this round.  zippo would've seen my speed turn if he beat my 49.

this is pretty difficult, but definitely a great challenge for anyone who wants one.  make sure you give your hands a rest in between attempts x)

trust me, buy a dell sk-8110.  absolutely no keylock for spacebar/arrow keys, very quiet keys.  very cheap.  I'm sure some used ones on amazon will ship to you.

did u? xD  he is talking about Emprex kb, his later post he buys your razer kb

mm ask komo, he said he bought it here: https://www.tus-wa.com/forums/off-topic/keyboard/msg23252/#msg23252

oh I definitely remember when you were mainly a roper/warmer pro.  you had my respect then, so don't assume that you don't still have my respect now (you just mainly play bng now is all  )

<3

komo, that's the point.  when was the last time you hit every turn of a game?

oh and avi, nice words.  I like how you're defending w2rope.  you make good points.

To me, and I am not lying, seriously, in the last 2 years, MOST games I play in, or watch in clanners, someone gets bad crates most of the game, now i'm not saying this always results in a loss, but when it comes down to like say, you have 54hp and opponent has 20hp, his turn, his crate is RIGHT next to you, he hits you for 47, you now have 7hp left, and he has 40hp, his hide is hittable with a mine on head without a knock, but guess what, you have played better the WHOLE game, and RIGHT at the last minute, when you really should deserve the win, you get a crate at the other side of the map tucked right under, you get the crate, perfect roping even get back fast, but not fast enough to make a hit, you toss a grenade in hope of a lucky hit, you get your good hide back, next turn, he gets a crate directly above, - GG you lose cuz of crates.

that's why everyone thinks there is crate rape.  they lose on the last turn, and they blame the crate instead of them self.. but did they really play their best game the whole game?  was it 100% the game's fault?

That's weird, because i've literally seen over a thousand games at least lost because of bad crates

Note, i've been playing for over 11 years, I am NOT exaggerating the number of games i've seen lost due to bad crates.

seriously, just find one game from your recent memory even here on the tus site and show it to us.  I still stand by my quote below.

well then I still say that if you can't show a single game where someone didn't make any mistakes and still lost due to crates -> it rarely ever happens.

check out the thread avi made a few days ago... it has a replay of him and I playing w2roper... he also wrote down the crate stats... he got like 10 impossible crates as opposed to mine 5 or something, and the game was still very close because avi used some tactics... watch the replay or something :p

ok I watched the replay, but I can't say it was pretty.  you both had quite a few mistakes and missed opportunities.  since you guys really seem to think this replay proves something, I have to say that it actually doesn't.  If you have a replay that isn't as messy as this one, I'd like to see it, but as for this one, I'll tell you why I don't like it.

I went through each turn and I tried to keep track of all the damage lost from mistakes and missed opportunities.  I also awarded +damage when you guys attacked higher than the average 47 attack.  what did I find? 

well, in avi's post about the replay, he mentions at 8 minutes that although he had more impossible crates, he was winning 262-209.  yes, that is all true, but tallying shyguy's mistakes, I had him at -328 in lost damage vs avi's -136 in lost damage.  that's the real reason why avi was leading here.

avi also mentions at 12 minutes he had 'a wopping 9 crates that were impossible, and 1 questionable, and shy still only 2-2... yet the score was just about tied, me having 172, and shyguy having 174.'  yet again shyguy's mistakes tallied him at -334 vs avi's -199.

avi ends by saying "by the end of the game i had 13 impossible, and 1 questionable.. and shy had 5 impossible and 2 questionable, it was not until i gave myself 20 FD second to last turn, and totally blew my last turn killing myself was the game over... there were plenty of cr8s on the map for me to retreive and hide, if i had not fallen there was plenty of possibility for me to have won... therefor shy was the better skilled player of this match, cr8s had absolutely nothing to do with the outcome."

until your last turn avi, shyguy had -357 in lost damage while you had only -220.  I argue that shyguy was NOT the better skilled player of this match, and that cr8s DEFINITELY had something to do with the outcome of keeping shyguy ahead.

do you have a better replay I can check? =\

franz, even if people need to keep their cool and composure when getting a hard crate, why should they accept a scheme that allows the game engine dictate even a single turn in the game?

because in the end the best player that game wins just about every time anyway.

I agree that it would be nice to have a roper scheme that doesn't let the game engine dictate even a single turn, so only 100% skill is involved, but what would that look like?  Would it even be fun?  Does w2rope really achieve that goal?  Isn't it still possible for one player to get extremely lucky with a crate next to him every turn of the game?  To me that still looks like the game engine dictating turns of the game.

a roper scheme truly without luck would be one without health crates entirely.  you could just go w2w every turn so that way every turn is treated equal.  would this really be fun?
