hahaha love this episode
ESAM SDed vs. MVD, and he didn't ban his auto-ban so he lost to Peach...Esam losing to a +2 Mu(snake) and then to Illlmatic which i told him was a -1 for pikachu but noooooooooo im dumb. I guess maybe now esam may believe the snake to be +1/= and change his mind about peach too.
Good shee halberd. I heard he beat gnes.
Yea, we all called him out on it. He also suicided in doubles.ESAM SDed vs. MVD, and he didn't ban his auto-ban so he lost to Peach...
Sounds like he's just stupid.
That's basically what Snipa was doing in the 2nd post, except with more frequent updates and the fancy math. It'd be a good way for players to keep track of their progress at a glance I guess.Hey so i was thinking about running PR thread for Flawda similar to what Texas does. So starting after the next PR rankings come out i will be taking all the data for who beats who at every tourney and have a ranking system for every single player in florida that competes. I will update this thread EVERY WEEKEND.
This can be separate from these PR's if you guys wish but im definitely doing it.
<3333333 its finally been donespeaking of state PRs...its about time for dat update
should be an increase of black people with mammypam on the scene
i dont care about it anymore
do with it what u will
i'll prolly only be at ZP's from now on, we'll see
Despite that though, I think a point system would be great for Florida in both of its games. There's always so many radical changes to the list each update, and the potential of many players are realized throughout seasons making it further difficult to make a list of just 10 people.UTDZac said: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.
hey ESAM, after FL's performance at WHOBO i think from now on yall need to think aboutHalzy, why would it be polarized? (Answer for other people, I understand why)
