Sometimes people just want to go up to the biggest, scariest thing on the gamefinder and punch it in the face.

They're Rankers...

Posted by Lorebass on 2015-04-19 06:04:51

win all ranked smacks?

Posted by C3I2 on 2015-04-19 08:46:42

1) Marketing by creating "Fluff" yes, some players reads those team bios

2) Bugging people by offering games, until they suddenly relents

3) Erronious clicks

4) Competitions, like killing all those dwarfs that enter so called "SMACKS"

5) *Astroturfing* by paying bloggers to write about the team

hey, C3po, at least he doesn't pick -50 TV every game like a small child.

Posted by Dunenzed on 2015-04-19 09:07:36

I think the data showed that the raw number of games involving a chaos team in ranked was roughly similar to the number of games in the box. Sure that data doesn't capture build style differences. But not everyone avoids the killstack.

I no scured of dem.

Maybe people activated for Box but didn't get scheduled. ;)

Maybe it is the old Inkaprettatori effect. People felt that they had to play a real killer once just to see what it was like or to show that they had stones.

Unlike the box you can pick yourself a nice recovery route.

CPOMB games don't always end in mass perm injury. So once in a while is not really a problem. One every two or three games gets old very quickly.

I resent that, I would NEVER offer a -50 game when I can do a -40, or +150.

good question pythrr

Posted by JimmyFantastic on 2015-04-19 12:09:25

Cos not everyone is a pixel hugging lammer

Posted by cdassak on 2015-04-19 12:12:38

So will you challenge them with your Dorfs for a prep game for the GLT jimmy?

Posted by BillBrasky on 2015-04-19 12:45:19

Wow...

No one looks at the matches.


Pick on newbs. Easy mode. They don't know better.

Posted by Verminardo on 2015-04-19 12:48:15

Jealous, pyth?^^

Posted by Wreckage on 2015-04-19 13:33:50

I looked at the matches and thought: He mostly picks other bashy teams that probably have troubles to find games themselves. Nothing too unusual.

Posted by Wreckage on 2015-04-19 13:36:21

Although now that you mention it, most of these opponents have winning stats as horrible as they can be.

Posted by liquidorange on 2015-04-19 14:05:09

My vote is for drugs.

Also, I think the accusation of 'astroturfing' is hilarious. How much did we agree upon again, pyth?

Posted by cdassak on 2015-04-19 14:23:19

Dammit, I wish we had such great drugs back in my day...

Posted by Calcium on 2015-04-19 14:50:26

They're not so bad......my Booty Pirates would take them on no probs

Posted by Kam on 2015-04-19 15:12:37

1) Get drunk
2) Get drunker
3) Put a Fling team on GF
4) Challenge the eldest / scariest / fluffiest teams

Easy...

Posted by koadah on 2015-04-19 16:15:06

I hope that you guys are plugging 145 Club while you are massacring rookies. ;)

To be fair some people with the rookie rank actually have hundreds of games in.
They can probably guess what a 2000TV chaos team or legend coach are like.

But, if someone has a total record of 0/0/9 then a horrible game to makes it 0/0/10 could be their last on Fumbbl.

Posted by awambawamb on 2015-04-19 17:17:57

sometimes they get a match, in preparation for a tournament. It's like playing dwarves.

I've always thinked about playing goblins in the 145 Club...

Posted by pythrr on 2015-04-19 18:33:55

I thought 'astroturfing' was something pornographic...

Posted by liquidorange on 2015-04-19 19:49:14

If it's pornographic, you should probably charge double.

Posted by lemf on 2015-04-19 19:55:39

Just ask me to play :)

Took them on 310k down and seemed to do ok.

Of course it was dogs dressed as bees.

Posted by C3I2 on 2015-04-20 00:22:50

So, he is paying with sex then, pyttie. I hope you all now looked up Astroturfing, and its relationship with AstroTurf...

Posted by pythrr on 2015-04-20 00:32:20

c3po, any more personal abuse and sexual harrassment and I will report you for obscenities.

Posted by C3I2 on 2015-04-20 04:53:17
