I tried once, got lost immediately, gave up.

Was a fun 10 seconds though.

In all seriousness, this map is a true work of art! Top content as always from kirill!

You get the picture. Like you said, using the points first is a better approach.

Maybe...

It really depends who played who... The reason why we have both points and win % is because they sort of go hand in hand to dictate who played better.

It's also different when comparing an individual scheme and multiple schemes.

You can have more points, with a lower win % because you played players you have or haven't beat at specific schemes...

Ideally, you would use both as a measurement to find out which player is more deserving, but to keep things simple, using points is better.

I think there should be a rule if you play on custom terrain the map MUST be converted to png. Because if not people without the module can't watch the replay and the map isnt visible on game page!

https://www.tus-wa.com/leagues/game-242004/msg296759/#msg296759

some players prefer em not to be converted cuz the "league rules" say so (mutual agreement inbetween players ?????)

I have to clarify here, Lupastic isn't sharing the right information.

The league rules DO NOT say anything about custom terrains or custom terrains being converted. There is no rule that says anything about maps cannot be converted.

It's a personal preference for ME because maps converted to PNG look different to normal and I prefer normal, I don't like having to squint my eyes on PNG backgrounds when lining up BnG shots, that shit actually physically hurts when you do it long enough.

What I believe Lupastic is referring to is this general rule for players agreeing on maps:

Quote
Both players/clans need to agree on the map.

There is no rule or rules stating which maps are and aren't considered "valid" however there is a general rule that dictates you can refuse a map for any reason you want.

I think you mean the most points, not the best winning percentage, because people can have more points than other people with a lower winning percentage. The best example I can think of is Piki, Husk and Jago in the overall Darts standings: https://www.tus-wa.com/leagues/free-standings/Darts/?s=overall

Nah, I did mean highest win % however thinking about it yeah it's better to be using the points first, THEN win % to decide who makes the cut.

Though I don't know what the problem is with your example?

Quote
Piki - 257 played - 50.19% - 1,488

Husk - 86 played - 46.51% - 1,408

Jago - 76 played - 39.47% - 1,172

Piki has both more points and highest win %
Husk has 2nd most points and 2nd highest win %
Jago has 3rd most points and 3rd highest win %

What were you trying to prove there?

Whenever someone threatens to end their life if their demands are not met, I either just say something like "Oh well, we all bleed and die anyway", or I just ignore them and don't say anything... Just walk away immediately without saying a word.

I've dealt with people like this my whole life and the absolute worst thing you can do is cater to their illness/madness.

If it's anyone I know personally and I know their friends or family then I just tell them about what happened, they have a better chance of getting through to them than I do anyway.

Ideally, having a win % wouldn't be such an issue...

Though, when you have a small handful of top players, and the rest are sort of average, this is what happens. If we had enough top players it would be fine everyone playing each other.

If we have no win % required, and that they only need to play the right amount of games, then all you do is if 13 people have more than 30 games played, the 8 with the best win % make the Playoffs, that seems fair!

This new league is a bit of an overkill atm. Even with win% removed, there's no 8 people that played 30+ games.

Alround and Free aren't any better, but at least players have variety of schemes to choose from.

If money didn't help, hardly anything will.

I'm not sure what issue you have exactly :D

For me personally TRL turned out even better than expected, and next Season is setup to be even better! All we needed was 4 players to reach playoffs, even by ONLY games played, and we smashed that, 4 legit players making the playoffs by both existing requirements, there will probably be 8 if we get rid of the win % requirement.

If more than 8 players make PO then it's the 8 with the highest win % - Simples!


ANNOUNCEMENT:

They've asked not to reveal their name but someone from WA got in contact, and is actually going to sponsor the TRL League stuff I'm doing via their business, so long as I run a couple adverts for their business during TRL streams, they are adding another £100 to the prize pool for the next season. (Might increase over time).

So next Season, Season 33, there will be a £200 prize pool split between the top 3 players.

I always said I'd never sellout for adverts, but I'm quite happy to do it when I am not receiving the profits and the profits go to the players and the community!


You know, it doesn't usually bring me any satisfaction when people say "You can't do that" or "It won't work" and then it does happen and/or it does work... But this time it genuinely feels satisfying because it's not for myself!

It's a great way to stick the middle finger up and yell "LOOK HOW MUCH FUN WE'RE HAVING BWAHAHAHAHA!".

Leagues General / Season 32 of TRL - You have reached legit playoff requirements!
« on: Yesterday at 04:45 AM »
With 4 days remaining the first season of Multi-TRL, 4 players have successfully met the requirements to play in the Playoffs:



It would be nice to have 8 players.

What is your general opinion if 4 others reach the games played requirement of 30, even with a lower win % we could let them into Playoffs as well?


Also, nice announcement for the next Season of TRL during the podcast this Sunday! Stay tuned!

It’s been 8 years I’ve been mourning my best friend Anita who is actually alive and I can’t stand this anymore.

My message to Anita:
It's been 8 years already, and all I want is to have you back as friend. It's what I've always wanted; we grew up together, playing hundreds of games together with our other close friends, we were like a clan, a family, and I was always fine in not ever meeting you in real life due to your circumstances, but I can't stand losing a friend like you for good. Not when there was ever no reason to... I never did you anything to deserve this. If I'm allowing to lose you, then nothing in life has meaning. The reason I enjoyed living to this day is because I enjoyed spending time with the people I like and care about. But if I lose this, all that's left in the world is pure materialism; just money to stay alive until the day it all ends. I am not living any longer if you won't ever talk to me again.

I ask that everyone who met Anita in this game to send her a message to talk to me.
Her facebook is: https://www.facebook.com/anita.domanskaa

I’m willing to wait only a week. If she doesn’t talk to me until then, I’m doing myself.
If you are thinking of harming yourself, please get help for yourself with a crisis hotline or therapist

If you are thinking of getting people from a worms website to help you harass someone, this has already gone too far.  I hope you get the help you need and you don't hurt yourself.

As long as a for example a trick race challenge replay can't be voided because a mexican swoosh was performed by accident instead of a swoosh (unless it is clearly stated in the description of the challenge that a mexican swoosh doesn't count as swoosh) I don't have an issue. We seem to have a fundamental disagreement about the importance how rope tricks look to determine what that trick is and that's fine. If I was abrasive, difficult or a smart ass at points in the discussion I apologize.

Yeah, to be honest, it's pretty cool that we even have different ways of measuring these things. People have different ways of interpreting things, so the good thing is, you have a method you like, I have a method I like, we both together know and understand both methods and their differences so we can still agree on any particular event with absolute certainty and award judgement accordingly.

Sorry if I came across as a pain as well, but thanks for sticking in there and helping us out!

I'm asking you to be on the latest version of the game, press Shift + 0 + 9 and take an extra 5-10 seconds to check rare edge cases. You are asking me to always be unsure if I actually did a trick and having to restart mid-game to check. You are asking a lot more of me than I am asking of you.

Wait what?

You're asking me to take an extra 5-10 seconds to check, but somehow I'm asking more of you? How is something that takes longer actually faster lol? You're the one asking ME to do more, something that takes longer, and isn't as common.

It takes longer than 5-10 seconds because... You do realize that in Darts you don't have a rope shooting either direction as a signal right? So if the rope looks like it's on the wrong side we have to check anyway, and we want to check using frame by frame, not super slow motion tweening method.

How long it takes aside, why would you be unsure if the method I use is simple to understand and clear/visible to see? I don't believe you are "unsure" as you understood perfectly enough how I measure it to debate about it and specifically explain the difference between the methods.

Your measurement method takes slightly longer and requires an extra step as opposed to skipping to the time and just skipping frame by frame.

Not to mention it's not how long it takes that's important it's what you actually see, and as I've said before, your method involves "tweening". What you are seeing is something that's been added to the game more recently, which is why the method I use is more traditional, historic and authentic.


On the bright side, this is something that you are only ever going to have to use on very few occasions, and on those occasions it's up to the moderators of the event to decide which way to use so they can do it however they like.

Triad and I have decided that for Darts Challenges and dS Stuff we're going to do it the way we've mentioned. Interestingly enough, the result is the same in the end than if we did it your way anyway since the frame you personally think of as a swoosh is something we allow now anyway.

When it comes to Darts at least, you would have to check either way since you don't have the rope shoot direction to even see if it was an arch or a mexi. It just makes more sense to me this way.

In this case you can't see the grenade touching the wall. In your view does this mean the bounce doesn't count and that the red team didn't win the game? It looks like the grenade was repulsed by a magnetic force, perhaps you would like to say it was repulsed instead of bounced in this case? The replay is attached.

You can hear bounce off the wall and you can see that it changed direction.

Not sure what you are trying to achieve here other than trying to be a smartarse now?

We don't judge "tricks" with grenades or how they hit, we just use them to hit. It's not as relevant HOW they hit, unless you play BnG with rules like no sitters, but do you know what I mean?

A scenario where two players are playing trick race:
Quote
*Player 1 does a swoosh after 10 minutes of trying*
Player 2: That was kind of close to the edge, let's close the game and look at the replay frame by frame to make sure it wasn't a mexican swoosh.
*Turns out it was a mexican swoosh*
Player 2: You must try to do it again, you didn't do a swoosh. Now let's start the game, teleport back to our old positions and resume playing.
This is unreasonable and cumbersome to me. This scenario is one practical reason for why I'm arguing against the notion that how it looks is what counts. It's so this doesn't become the way we have to do things, as you say f that.

Do you think I have pity for 2 players who can't do a pretty easy enough move after 10 minutes of trying in a Trick Race lol? Sounds like they need to get better lol.

Try harder though Masta. It's not a good enough example to change my mind, the way I measure it is still more practical in my opinion.

If it's so bad, then just do what Triad and I did, allow mexican swooshes to count as swooshes. The way you do it is unreasonable and cumbersome to me, it literally takes longer to check it your way than my way. At least if you are watching in slow motion waiting to see the rope angle if you don't have access to TA.

Technically speaking we ARE actually using the information you reminded us of though, just in a different way from what you want, it was useful though, thanks!


If you ARE trying to convince me otherwise though, tackle it with this approach... Don't tell me what's more practical for YOU, think of something that would appeal to ME.

Right now, I see zero actual problems with doing it your way OR my way, they are both valid ways of measuring, it's just that the way I do it is more comfortable, feels more natural, it's faster to check for me personally etc. It also feels more traditional, historic and authentic to me.

The way you do it, you couldn't even check with the original game. So if you want to convince me you're going to have to think of something that appeals to me, not you since this is based on opinion.


Oh, one more thing!

Don't worry about it anyway, if you want to make a trick race and ALLOW it, then you are free to allow it in that Trick Race, you can say "This is what is considered a genune swoosh in this challenge" then define it any way you want.
