First things first: if you, like me, really really hate spoilers, here is the anti-spoiler package. A possibly useless idea of mine, it's a replay package that contains 7 replays no matter the amount of games that were actually played. This way it's impossible for you to find out who will win after having watched some of the games by using math. If there are fake replays added in this way, they will be sized 0 bytes.
If you don't like spoilers, I suggest you download and stop reading this news post right now, people will post spoilers in this thread and who can blame them?
You can still find individual replays in our replay section of course.
if you appreciate my audio commentary, I have finished the first two games and will commentate the rest of them shortly
excellent idea with the anti spoiling. i really hate that. although i would see immidiatly that some of the files were 0 bytes. just hoping i can keep the result a secret to myself until i've seen the rest of the rwas
haha ... had a good laugh at that idea as I just watched an episode of FMP Fumoffu and your methods are very much alike the ones of a certain character from that series thx

it's possible to unzip without seeing files sizes... i used the anti-spoiler method, and it was fun. thx grot :O

Agreed...
Anti spoiler was a great idea GroT. Those were GGs. Gundam seems to be playing TvZ differently now than in old reps I saw of him. He's actually expanding sometimes...

It does work, just don't look at the file size next time.
It's a little hard to ignore though when 7 reps = 400 kb T_T
Also, could you please just include dummy reps for the non-spoiler games? Using winzip, when I open the zip file the way I have it set it displays file sizes, so I immediately saw how many were 0 size
play a compstomp on single player using the name Gundam 4-1 Breakdown then do it again on a different map for however many games are missing from the complete 7
but why? can't you just click "extract here" and not read it while it's extracting, then go into bw and watch the replays.. ? I don't see why some ppl consider the file size a problem
GroT I download all files into a directory called Download, then extract them from there. That way, it's easier to clean up the masses of .zip files no longer needed at regular intervals.
I just use double click on WinZip for it. And the size of the .zip gives it away, too
But I guess it doesn't really matter if it's secret or not, since in the past I've already known the results.

You know something is up.
No, 'cause many reps have size about 50kb, and it's normal too.
The anti-spoiler idea was a good one. Especially considering how close game 5 becomes .
Unfortunately, I had already looked in the replays section of the site and saw that there were only 5 games . Next time, though, I'll dl the anti-spoiler pack and watch the games before looking in there .
Edit: And yeah, it's pretty hard not to see that the total size of all the files is suspiciously small. Next time, just make 1 or 2 fake games on the correct maps and hotkey spam with another player for about 5 minutes. Or rename real replays that were played on the correct maps. Or rename any real replays regardless of map, since with your current method the fake reps don't show the correct map anyway . You could use old, gosu games and they'd be like bonus replays for anyone who hadn't seen them before .

well as soon as winace opened i glanced to make sure it was all there, and the "0 kb" just stuck out !

The only time reps are ever that small are on small maps (ie, Bifrost), most normal sized maps will have a much higher minimum, plus when you consider how many actions higher level players make, most reps are 100kb+, and I knew they wouldn't played all the game on Bifrost, so... 7 reps = 400 kb is suspicious to me. ^_^
please upload them somewhere!!! im not watching them til they are in rwa format;P www.gosureplays.com is where i submit mine PLEASE upload them i dying here
EPT
thx a lot
