EDIT: just saw the post on the previous page explaining the noobishness.. wow, what a waste of time.  | ||

No, random wins count for 2 wins because they also count for the race you play. Just look at his achievements.

Read the thread. He worker rushes every game on 2 player maps and auto leaves vs Terran. | ||

Either way if anybody has an idea of what wording to use to describe that you can't cheese every game, let's say like 50%+ ? I dunno.... I mean just don't play ur games thinking "OK I NEED TO WIN AS FAST AS POSSIBLE" I want someone who's gonna play and improve at the same time, I think anybody who manage to win this challenge should be somewhere near the top of the ladder at the end unless he's mentally retarded... I just don't want this to be a contest that consists of who will execute 7 rax reaper, 7 pool and proxy gate 3000 times in a row, nor do I want it to be 2950 either just play NORMAL, cheese should be defined as games you AIM to win under 5 minutes and if it fails you insta leave is it still that hard to understand? Now I don't want anyone to come and tell me I have no intention of paying up and bla bla bla, there's a reason the mod note is there, also I haven't changed any rule with this post, I just tried to clarify things a little bit | ||

I do donate | ||

then my apologies for any offense caused. On September 02 2010 14:08 Ome wrote: If we all donated all our extra money to charities we'd have nothing left. He's just running a friendly contest for a community and game he likes, what's wrong with that? you seem to be overreacting to what i said. i didn't say we should be giving all of our money to charity but that those who are better off are in a position to make a bigger impact. and of course there is nothing wrong with a friendly contest but im just saying that $2k is a lot of money that could help out elsewhere.

Jeez did i say you should prioritise helping the needy over your hobbies and interests? it is human nature to be selfish and yes most of the time i put myself first before anybody else. still, does that mean we should blindly ignore the people we can help? if you think helping the less fortunate somehow makes you 'goody two-shoes', then i suggest you take a good look at yourself. | ||

So all you've said in this thread is that we should donate money and we should also spend it on ourselves. Well thanks for that ingenious revelation, entire planes of moral existence have been opened up to my mind. The whole point of ethics is to find the balance between selfishness and the greater utility, and you have done nothing to help us find this balance. | ||

NEW RULE: Must provide replay pack, cheesing EVERY game is not allowed, so upon reviewing replays if someone was trying to free win every single game then he's DQ'ed Way to back off. It was OBVIOUS that the only way to do it in the ORIGINAL post was by cheesing and even then it was IDIOTIC. But now comes a guy who finds a way around it and suddenly NEW RULE? Be a man an stand by your word. Its double or nothing all over again ahahaha | ||

That's on average 16.66 wins per day. at 50% (which you almost certainly will be) that's ~35 games/day. Without cheesing, a very short average game length is 10 mins, probably closer to 15 but let's say 10. Thats pretty much 6 hours a day for 6 months. Nobody is going to make that and he knows it. Even pro's probably don't spend 6 hours a day *laddering*. That 6 hours is game time ignoring search time/watching replays/eating/breaks/customs/everything, not even some korean (again arbitrarily excluded) playing 12 hours a day will make this. You do realize all hardcore WoW vanilla raiders used to play for about that much time on average each day, maybe even more. Totally doable imo (i'm not saying that I recommend doing it though  ). | ||

In all reality you got hustled, I'd just take the beat. After all you play poker, shouldn't you be used to things like this? | ||
