Ownless, I think you would have a good laugh with me and lalo oldsock and daina doing clanners xD

Well I guess I can live with that Cue, nicely put.

But adjusting your aim by a few pixels after missing isn't notching, because I ain't counting it, but I guess you could say I moved it by a "notch" or "a few notches" but unintentionally and not by counting.

Yeah, when you are counting it.

When you are just guessing and it just happens to be 1 pixel, it's not a notch.

What is notching? A notch is a pixel movement and notching is knowing how many pixel movements = how far the shot will go on the map.

Wrong, I have already explained what notching is, moving the cursor by one pixel is not notching and is not called a notch, notching is just the name given for counting out your shots by knowing the distances etc and everything else i've explained in this post.

If I was actually notching and for example I needed to move the cursor 9 times, but I only moved it 8 by mistake, I could say "Ah, I needed 1 more notch" because I am "counting" out my pixel movements and because I mis-counted it, but because we are guessing our aim, and need to change our aim by 1 or 2 pixels, does not make it notching, because we are not counting out our shots.

Another way to put it, if someone doesn't know how to notch or even what notching is, how can they be notching? When you get for example 2 blue wind and you move the aim what is the equivilent of 1-2 pixels, that isn't notching, some people just know by instinct this is the change needed to make it hit, it's still a guess.

If you want to call it notching, I don't care lol, you are wrong, but as far as i'm concerned you are just making things up and trying to re-invent something, just like that clan "re-invented" alot of Rope moves that already had names.

Quote from: Johnny on February 17, 2011, 07:14 PMAfter your initial shot, you place your aimer back where it was for your last shot. Then you adjust/count pixel movements to where you need to aim to hit.

I don't count anything, I just guess how much I need to change my aim, again, you are not paying attention.

*bump*

Keep it in the recent posts so people might see it while i'm sleeping, nite lol.

I would enjoy playing Notching games with darKz for fun, but i'll never ever ever do it in League BnG ever again.

Quote from: SPW on February 16, 2011, 10:35 PMI dont think its only having no time for playing worms. The truth is laying in the system. It's just no pleasure to see oneself somewhere at position #100. The current ranking table is looking like rigged. So...

Why is being #1 in Seasonal so important anyway? Is it the fact no one can see how good you are that bothers you, Mablak and Random will get the Playoffs because they own the scheme and will probably always be #1 and #2 Overall, if I was them, I would be happy enough with that.

The best players will always be seen in Overall over long periods of time, Seasonal shouldn't even exist imo, then people would not have these awkward feelings.

Maybe we need to encourage players to start checking the Overall Standings more often, and follow the changes, like, have a little symbol that changes from week to week like:

UP 6
DOWN 7
NO CHANGE

I dunno, just throwing an idea out there, I would like to see something like that, you know, like you see in the Music charts?

It is quite funny to see me at 55-0 in BnG Season 18, and only being 5th place lol.

coste, did you even read my long previous post? I have a very strong feeling you skipped most of it out of frustration and eagerness to reply and tell me how wrong I am...

It can be done. For example: Someone dont know how many notches were needed to shoot some spot. He does 6 notches at the beggining and shoot 4s full power nade. He hit fairly close to opponent. On his next turn he does 8 notches and hit the opponent. I could imply other examples, but whatever.

This example is just wrong, if someone knows how to notch, and they do it out in the open they would not get it wrong, the whole point of notching is you know exactly how to count out your shots pixel by pixel, you can't go wrong if you know what to do.

Notching, as I have already explained, takes away the fun and pride of guessing where you should be aiming completely, if you actually know what notching is and how to notch shots, and don't just pretend you do, you should know exactly how to use simple calculations to hit anywhere on the map no matter where a worm is with a variety of shots.

Notching is something very few people know exactly how to do it to it's full potential, it's a process that can take a long time to learn depending how good you are with simple calculations and remembering the distance of your worm, taking into consideration the difference in height as well as land that may or may not be in the line of fire.

When you are just aiming by instinct, even re-aiming with my thumb, I still miss alot of shots, just get it already lol.

I think its a good technique to use sometimes, but a lot of the time if its a fun game or not particularly important I wont bother as takes a bit of effort and fun out the game. You have to be fairly close with your first shot to make it worth it anyway, and even then you still have to get power right, have made the correct adjustment etc.

You have to have the re-aim rule else you're going to get a load of lame players that try the same thing over and over with no variation, not everyone figures out you that can mark your screen in someway, as I said as long as its not every shot full power I dont really mind it. As you said you would be an idiot to not take notice where you were aiming.

I am so glad you understand coke I just wish they would understand too lol.

Especially you realise it's not really for funners.

Quote from: Husk on February 17, 2011, 12:42 PM
my opinion is that its pretty lame, and shows u rly want to win, rather than have fun (=

What is wrong with wanting to win League games? Why even bother playing a League if you don't try to win?

I've already said I don't do this in funners, because i'm normally trying diff shots and trick shots etc, if you want to play "for fun" then play funners.

It's 2 completely different styles to me

Ok, how many times to I have to tell you lol.

It is not the same, and the simple reason is because your 1st shot, was not notched, re-aiming with your thumb doesn't make it the same as re-aiming to this angle again by notching, because you are NOT GUESSING, even while re-aiming with my thumb I still have to guess where to go from where I guessed the 1st time to correct it, so the whole time, I am still guessing.

You just don't get it lol.

That's all true what you say coke, I know it seems pointless for me to even re-aim, but bear in mind, so many of my shots hit 1st attempt I don't even use my thumb alot.

Anyway, how do you feel about using fingers to re-aim?

Most of your posts have been saying notching and using finger to re-aim is the same thing, they are as bad as each other, and I have gave more than enough evidence, facts and examples to prove you wrong that they are completely different in so many ways.

I am using my thumb lol, MY THUMB !!! I find it amusing you are saying that's bad that I am using part of my body for better consistency, while we are at it, why don't we tell Snipers fighting in wars to shoot without their spotter, or even better, without a scope !

Fukkit, from now on i'll just play with my eyes shut !

If you want to aim without looking, or paying attention, or helping yourself to adjust your shots to try and win BnGs, that's your decision, a fair number of players play like this and in my opinion it's the right thing to do if you are trying to correct a bad aim to try and win a league match.

I just noticed someone smited Random, why would you smite Random lol, he is always such a nice guy  

Anyway I sorted that out

I don't use black background, I use the 2nd one in, I only use black background for Rope schemes.

Anyone who doesn't look at a part of land to see where there aim was, is just slapping themself in the face lol.

Anyway, it is an example that I don't always have to use my thumb to re-aim, regardless of why, do you have some problem with me, no matter how detailed my explanations are, and how honest, for any matter or subject, you seem to try desperately any excuse to make anything I do seem wrong lol, you done the same thing with implementing SG into a2b, even though myself wormf00d and OoO explained what is so good about using it, and everything you said why you don't like it, I explained why that was wrong too lol.

My previous post, as I already said, explains why there is really nothing bad about using your thumb or any other finger to re-aim your shot, like I said if you can't understand it, I am not really bothered anyway, the point of this thread was just to explain to Johnny that re-aiming and adjusting is NOT notching, and I have achieved that so i'm cool lol.

I'll let you reply, then i'll lock this thread.
