I would like rankings. Maybe I can write a program in fortran to waste my time someday.

Wasn't the reason that we stopped updating (didn't Edgar write a program?) because we didn't agree on what k-values to use?

That, and whether we should recalculate ELO scores after a tournament or after each tournament match.

Oh, I thought it was the norm that they were calculated after each tournament match.

In hindsight, that actually sounds too difficult for me to program.

It's actually not that difficult. The formulas are very simple. The hardest part for me is parsing the .tio file, since I'm an untrained nublet when it comes to programming.

Except you'll be there and that negates any incentive to go.

is the .tio file format documented anywhere?

I think it's not too difficult to parse by just opening it in notepad.

Facebook has killed our beloved thread. I hate that website.

If only Kal was a trendsetter. Then we'd all be on Google+ AND playing with the No Johns ruleset!

Trendsetting only goes so far when you're leading a group of scrubs, MT.

I'm not particularly interested in a Friday night tournament. I don't want to show up exhausted and playing poorly.

If it were on a Saturday, I might consider it. But I'll probably stay here regardless.

That's true. It's really annoying that it's on Friday but whatever lol

At least y'all thought about it. When are y'all going to have your next big ish tournament?

Anyone else coming down from Austin to Houston this coming weekend? I know Ivan and _ _ are coming.

Who is _ _, exactly? Is there a joke I missed?

I might be coming down, but I am unsure. I definitely want to, despite the fact that you're all campy as hell.

It's MT_. He told us that he wanted to start going by _ _ since it's no longer worth saying his name since he lost to RedShadow and garrR. Ok, that's a lie. He didn't say that. That's just how we feel about him now.

You know you want to play our Kirby's. Andddd you're going to say that we camp when Edgar shoots lasers like no other, Ivan runs to the other side of the stage and throws needles at you, and JF. Nuff said.

Ivan is the campiest mother ****er ever. Won't deny that. But, he does come from Houston. If you ask me, you guys molded him this way and had him move to Austin as a practical joke.

However, Edgar is not campy. He actually approaches with the lasers. Being good with Falco's laser != camping.

JF isn't half as campy as any of you.

But I do want to get that $5 money match against your Kirby with Pichu.

Oh, and Ivan and Jamal have both gotten a lot better. Unlike what I've seen from the Houston players, I give a non-stop stream of advice to the players in my city.
