Life dropping in points seems really weird to me. After Ro4 at Dreamhack and wins in GSTL everyone seemed to be saying that he is getting closer to his old form. That's probably because his old form used to be just this good, but it's still strange to see
Pretty much. He still lost to players like eMotion, Symbol, Hyvaa and Stardust, Sniper and Taeja. Who he was all favoured against due to his high rating from times now passed.

Compare the numbers to the left (LIfe's rating in the given matchup) to the numbers on the right (His opponents rating vZ) and you can see that he was favoured against all of them. Now his ratings is adjusted a bit, and it seems more appropriate

Innovation did not have sex with anyone that didnt want that, why would you even say that?
If I were to make a guess, I'd venture that he said that because he's a member of a community dominated by college-age males with a specific hobby. Possibly the single most dangerous and society-blind demographic.

Form is winrate over the last so-and-so many days. I'm experimenting with different values. I guess it'll end up being something like 1–2 months.
Whenever you see «period» it refers to the two-week interval between two rating lists.

Innovation TvZ numbers in the small graphic (I assume TvZ b/c they are identical with the TvT numbers and then only one mistake would be enough to explain it) are wrong. 47/75 is not 71.53% and the numbers for the three matchups don't add up to the given overall number. Please recheck.
Yeah, they're screenshots from a development version, so there are going to be inconsistencies. I fixed that one here.

Why is Hero 8th with 1847 points and MMA 9th with 1848 ? TL fanboyism ?

I think MMA is actually at 1838, seems to be a typo.

"A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes a subject by asserting that it is, on some point of comparison, the same as another otherwise unrelated object." This is from wikipedia. I don't think forcing someone to have sex with you is at all similar to beating someone in a game.
Edit: I can come with some suggestions: killing (because in the game you kill each other), defeating (because you have to defeat your opponent in starcraft - not a metaphor though), crushing, destroying, mining (hehe, because he likes mines). Not the right place to argue, sir. On September 20 2013 06:29 Boucot wrote:

The form is still a secret (I don't want to lookup the code) the reason to argue it is because it's a sensitive and traumatic term to a lot of people for reasons that are more important than video games. so any place is the right place to argue. there are people out there who use TL who have been through sexual abuse or had a friend or family member sexually abused, so someone needs to be speaking out for those people regardless of whether it ruins your poor starcraft statistics thread. it's worth being mocked or even banned to say these things. so stop using it unless you're an asshole. But "bombed", "killed" or "murdered" are fine, right?
I would prefer it if people didn't use such terms but the reason using 'rape' is worse is because it can be a trigger for anyone who has been raped. It is unlikely many people who have been killed or murdered are reading the forum so it is not as bad to use such words. At least imo. My attitude towards using the word 'rape' in this context is simply that it could be a trigger for someone and it doesn't hurt anybody at all to not use the word. There are plenty of other words that can be used.

I bet you didn't expect the controversy this time to be rape. :D There's always someone whining about the ranking itself, but not this time. ^^

Quite a change of pace, I guess this means that at least we are down to arguing about semantics, which is better than what we usually get

Sorry. My comment wasn't directed at you directly and I understand you had already said you would keep it in mind. I was trying to explain why some words are worse than others, since Zealously seemed to be equating the use of 'rape' with the use of 'kill' and 'murder'. Maybe I should have sent a pm instead of making a post.
Thanks for all the hard work with aligulac!

Oh hell yeah on those new features! - thanks for implementing the Top 5 Players in team ranking
(Also thought that use of adjective raping was a bit off in a semi-official write-up).
