xD  that pixel was so evil

and still, piling isn't even the only way to play Hysteria. you can win without piling a single time. that's fun to explore too.

The people asking for change are saying exactly that, sir!

right, but what I'm also saying is, people should be allowed to play that piling strategy too. I encourage every strategy.

i like how hysteria is so complex and free. there are so many ways to play the scheme. it's fun, and it's competitive.
even if Run who created Hysteria didn't consider telepiles, who has the authority to say they are even a bad thing?

piling exists and is accepted in many schemes as a tactic like piling in roper, piling in elite, piling in shopper, piling in wxw.
why should piling in Hysteria get such a bad reputation? only because it wasn't from a rope? or axe?

and still, piling isn't even the only way to play Hysteria. you can win without piling a single time. that's fun to explore too.

don't misunderstand me either. I'm not saying Hysteria should never ever be changed.. but this discussion is still very new and raw. I just don't see a simple solution/compromise yet that everyone can agree on, since there are many people who like the scheme how it is.


What if there was a 2nd rotated league specializing only in new schemes/settings? it could even be informal, like lasting only 1 month or maybe even 2 weeks, no playoffs. people could vote like between Hysteria(some new setting, limited tele?), Roper(some new setting, w2?), Elite(some new setting, giga mole?), and/or others. this could at least keep a record of these style of games played for people to analyze if needed.

avi, dubc and I aren't saying random crates don't affect every game. they do.
we're saying that skill and mistakes decide roper games.

and it's not just us. just looking in those old threads, lots of people agree:
crazy
flex
monkeyisland
spw
madden
husk
cueshark
random00

and likely more

even you had an interesting quote back then:

i agree with franz and johnny too... if you play perfectly, u will more then likely win...

but why should 1 played have to roper farther, roper longer, and rope more consistantly then the other roper... the luck factor is much to large in roper games, and dominate.

why do u think the elite scheme got rid of cr8s? because it added un-needed luck....

but nah, lets not make any changes to roper scheme to get rid of the luck factor.. ITS CLASSIC!

I'm serious, if you can popularize a crateless roper, then that's the solution.
w2roper still has random crates that affect games, so that's not the solution either.

your best bet is to find some hybrid between roper and wxw that gets rid of the weapon drops, but still requires equal distance to rope if you truly want to be fair.

mistakes decide roper games, not crates.
yet way too many people still bash roper as the 'luck' scheme.
this is an old, yet seemingly never-ending discussion:

https://www.tus-wa.com/forums/leagues-general/w2rope-scheme-***please-read***/150/

i'm not saying random crates don't affect every game. they do.
but everyone here is exaggerating way too much making roper seem like the lottery.

it's not even close to that much luck. it's only slightly more than the other schemes.
as dubc knows, skill and mistakes decide a roper win or loss like 97+% of the time.

artic/random00, both risk getting kicked out if this silence continues.


cfc/cf, you need to offer a new time cfc.
unless both sides agree on a time late friday (22+gmt?), any time saturday, or any time before sunday night (before 17gmt?), I don't see this going anywhere due to timezones. those times are just my guesses from this thread's info.

Reminder: Round1 deadline - MONDAY, August 22nd
almost 2 week(s) in now -> less than 1 week(s) left for Round1


shaggy/daina, both risk getting kicked out if this silence continues.

lordhound/cueshark, both risk getting kicked out if this effort continues.

best advice is to actively try to find players at the top and ask them TRL yourself.
not only do you feel good if you win and get points, but you help knock them down ;p

still, I believe what MI said about Casso being a good player, so don't take it personally Casso ;]

also, for each new TRL scheme, the TRL overall ranking needs to start somewhere.
but any future TRL season will use those overall ranking again to help combat this :]

I also wondered the same thing recently

I'll check Elegant out

edit:
Paradise looks cleaner, mostly white
but unless Internet Explorer can block images per site, probably stuck with disabling all images

there's many things I'm not complaining about that you seem to think I am (probably I'm at fault) my main and only concern is how TUS allows and gives retards all the tools necessary to become visible heads in this community as opposed to shutting them up, like they wish I did.

if it's your main/only concern, what's your honest suggestion? anything specific?
