vaughn im prolly gonna be in br tom, do you wanna come to dylans and then go play some popn?
I'm actually most likely gonna be at the mall for the majority of the day after school tomorrow. I'm helping some people out with some video editing. If you wanna play Pop'n, I'll be there. Lemme know what you guys are doing later that night too. I'll be down for some Melee if you guys are playing.

Nice pics, Nick. And good games too. Dedede vs. Sonic was actually pretty feasible until you learned how to inhale. =P

I'mma need you guys to explain to Savon how big of a video-game-virgin he is for not playing OoT and thinking it's a bad game. He won't take it from me.

NICK FORGOT HOW TO BREATHE!!?!?!?

lol I can't wait to see you BR guys again. I wish Voodoo was this Saturday instead of the next.
We've been busy lately, or at least I know I have with school for the last couple of weeks, but it's cool now. We're totally gonna try to make it.

He has to play the game for himself. Playing through the first dungeon does not count for long enough. He has to get to the Forest Temple to get to the good part imo.

But yeah, no one can really see how good something truly is until they try it themselves. They can't be told otherwise either. You gotta convince them another way.

Sorry man, it was like the only weekend Dominic would be available to come back to BR for. We had no idea HOBO would be on the same weekend.

Also, who's all going to WHOBO, I know it's early, but I was wondering if anyone planned on using the group rate or just wanted to buy separate passes for themselves?

Eternal Sonata for the 360 is the best RPG ever. Enough said.

But seriously, Savon. I thought you were my friend. You need to play OoT!

I'll be down for Dibbz. Jnig [the Wario player] is sick so he won't be able to make it though.

Also, with much thanks to UTD Zac. <3 <3 <3

In short, here is how it works.
  • The list is extremely dynamic based on recent tournament results. It tries to stay as up-to-date as possible. The list is updated after EVERY tournament (please email me TIO files).
  • Players are rated based on head-to-head battles for any given tournament. They are not based off of placings (1st, 2nd, 3rd), as this is not necessary.
  • Everyone starts at 1600 points. This is considered the average score.
  • You gain points for beating someone in tournament. If they have more points than you, you'll gain more points. If they have less points, you'll gain fewer points.
  • You lose points if you lose to someone in tournament. If they have more points than you, you'll lose fewer points. If they have less points, you'll lose more points.
  • Not going to a tournament means you will not gain or lose points, you'll stay the same. This explains why some inactive players (V, Eazy, etc) are still ranked decently high.
  • Only Brawl Singles are counted for ratings. Teams, Low-Tier, etc will not be counted.
  • Players must have participated in at least two tournaments to appear on the PR list.

Reasons Your Rating is Wrong

(1) Your rating fluctuates a lot. (uses Magic the Gathering lingo)
Look at your rating over the course of the last year. Has it gone up and down a lot? If it has been steadily going in one direction, it probably means that your rating still hasn't caught up to your current level of skill. However, if it jumps up and down a lot, then your rating probably isn't a very good indicator of skill. Good players can do horribly in tournaments and bad players can win them. This will cause ratings to fluctuate. In higher K-value events, this phenomenon is even more pronounced. For example, I rarely play limited games, and my rating sat at 1625 for 1 whole year while I did not play a single limited match. Later, I played in a 16K tournament, and went 4-0 against 1900 rated players. So my rating went up about 50 points in a single day. Is it because I am really good and should be rated much higher? No - swings this large do not well represent my actual play still. In this case I happened to play against the 4 highly rated players at the tournament, while the rest of the players had similarly poor ratings as my own. Through their drafting mistakes, I somehow wound up with a ridiculous deck they crushed my more-talented opposition.

(2) The average skill of the players in your area can dramatically affect your rating. (uses Magic the Gathering lingo)
Consider the extreme example where all the players at your local tournaments have a 1600 rating, because they have just started playing live tournament magic. However, they are good at the game from playing Wifi, so their play skill is typical of an 1800 player. After this group of players has played against each other for a few dozen tournaments, their ratings would all still be at 1600, despite their skill level. Remember, your rating actually represents your win expectation relative to those around you, not necessarily to the entire magic community.

We need a decay system in that lol. 12 isn't bad considering the inactive peeps ahead of me.

Nickels - 1584.333

With the dynamic of our state, fluctuation will happen quite a bit.

Somehow, I'm okay with being head of F tier.

Even though I'm better than all you laffy narbs.

Except Roni.

And maybe flounda.
