Go ahead, humour us! But by the sounds of it, you couldn't tell a joke if it slapped you in your snobby french-face. lol

Here's some icebreakers for you guys:

How do you get a French waiters attention in a busy restaurant?

Start ordering in German.

Another good one:

What is the first thing the French teach their kids at school?

How to say "We Surrender" in German!

I'm not even German!

Why does Nike like the French Army?
Because, in war time, they are the biggest buyers of running shoes.

What's the difference between a Frenchman and a trampoline?
You take off your shoes before you jump on the trampoline.

is it just me that reads that as he thinks other people will be happy about this, but he isnt?

but maybe he was banned because it was pretty obvious flame bait, not because of his opinion.

Ng5 was just temp banned for 30 days by ToKoreaWithLove.

That account was created on 2009-12-20 06:11:58 and had 697 posts.

Reason: So after you acted like a spoiled kid and everyone took a lot of time to help you you chose this response? Take a break.

I'm disappointed with how Ng5 reacted to the closure of his threads, but if I'm reading what Hawaiian Pig said correctly, this whole debacle could have been avoided if the lines of communication hadn't been jumbled, as they often are with moderators for a website with a large userbase (and therefore, a large amount of moderation). I like Ng5's threads, and I think they have legitimate purpose and value in Sports and Games, but his attitude was atrocious here. It's a bit disheartening to see such a condescending retaliation in an issue that could have been easily resolved through various means.

If you're reading this, Ng5, please know that none of us want you to leave, and we do appreciate the effort you put into organizing such events. However, I think Hawaiian Pig's analogy about holding a concert in a park fits here; just make sure you have the definitive OK on everything before you start! I'll be waiting for your return in March, and I hope you'll continue the chess!

blah_blah was just banned by EvilTeletubby.

That account was created on 2011-04-26 14:41:19 and had 346 posts.

Reason: You know, it's one thing to have a discussion; it's another thing to goad and antagonize. You've been banned repeatedly for this already, including a mere week ago, and you seem to lack the ability to, well, not post without being a complete ass.

So long from TL, you will not be missed.

Please direct me to reputable, peer-reviewed research demonstrating that, overall, men think 'logically' whereas women think 'emotionally'. I won't hold my breath because I know that there aren't any.

In fact there are several documented areas in which women behave logically and men behave emotionally. Stock picking is one, for example (see the recent book by Nobel Prize winner Kahneman). Men hold on to losing stocks much longer than women do. I am sure that with even a modicum of effort you can find other situations (in peer-reviewed research) where men are much more stubborn and irrational (or, as you might say, 'emotional'!) than women.

Categorizing female behavior as emotional and male behavior as logical is incredibly sexist. The implication is that female behavior is inferior to male behavior (think of the connotations associated with the words 'emotional' and 'logical'!)

But hey, YOUR WIFE agrees so you must be correct.

Yes.

This is a good idea.

I know that the founding fathers definitely had deregulation of foreign forex companies first and foremost when they wrote the Constitution.

This thread is great. I too sure am angry that the US Government isn't thinking about ESPORTS first and foremost in all financial matters! It's not like, you know, there was a huge global financial crisis which was largely caused by lack of financial regulation a couple of years ago.

Hey guys, what do you think of this ban:





I'm somewhat worried about this. The guy is pretty new to TL and doesn't obviously know the ins and outs but he was a contributing member with many nice explanatory posts like this. You can take a look at his posts yourself here.

And he didn't say anything outrageous in that one post, and one might even say that his position in the argument with his banner was one that is more politically correct and the view held by mainstream media. So, my conclusion is that while he should be taught to calm down a little, nuking the entire account is overkill and we will in fact miss his contributions on TL.

The DPS per cost isn't anywhere near top 3 in the game though.



Strike Cannon doesn't hit air, and battlecruisers have 3 base armor which literally cuts thor air DPS in half (already very low per cost against single targets). The thor air cooldown is also among the longest cooldowns in the game (in fact I think it is the longest, period). If you don't know these basic facts you probably shouldn't post in this thread.

Ah, yes, the moral ambiguity of whether or not to report the molestation of children to the proper authorities. Truly one of the classic moral dilemmas that has puzzled man since the beginning of time.

Sorry, you were near the bottom of masters MMR wise all along, regardless of being 'top 8 master'. You beat a bunch of masters who, like you, were on their way out of masters and lost to a bunch of diamonds who were on their way out of diamond. Masters is vastly better than diamond on average, and even mid-masters is better than all of diamond, it's just that absolute top diamond and absolute bottom masters (i.e., where you are) is indistinguishable.

This game has been out for almost two years, it's astonishing that people can put in thousands of games and still not have a clue how the MMR system works.



real master level players don't get matched up with diamond players on ladder either (except once in a blue moon when someone's smurf's MMR is rising too quickly to get promoted)

Rank is meaningless, (points) - (bonus pool) is basically MMR. It doesn't matter if you beat a top 8 masters player in a shitty division who only has about 400 points (there are divisions like this); this player is not high masters either.

I am looking at your profile right now and in your last 10 games you have been exclusively playing players with between 100 to 200 points after bonus pool is subtracted. This makes you low masters; maybe you could stretch the truth a tiny bit and call yourself low-mid masters, but you are nowhere near mid-high masters.

Yes, I'll be sure to take some time off from my Ph.D studies to read a pop-finance book written by a libertarian shill most notable for writing 'The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History' with no real background in economics or finance. Can I get the rest of your reading list, please?

I doubt you even read the book Moneyball (maybe you watched the movie) given how asinine the rest of your post was.

Every extra gateway you build beyond the number of gateways you need to spend money at the rate you're collecting it takes away from your army size. There are reasons to build extra gateways (they allow you to warp in between cooldown cycles, and when maxed out they allow you to rebuild huge amounts of supply almost instantly), but no matter how much drivel you write about things being front-loaded or back-loaded you really can't violate simple mathematics, building extra gates cuts into your army size at any time before you are maxed.

All of the 'virtual units' you are talking about cost real money, except that you already spent that real money building the gateway in the first place. Oops!

e: this isn't a commentary on the strategy, just the assertions of this particular poster that this is some magic bullet solution to PvT.

This is the most idiotically revisionist view of history I think I've ever seen. The rights and freedoms you enjoy and the standard of living you have weren't benevolently granted by governments and corporations, they were won through tremendous effort and sacrifice (of time, effort, and in many cases, lives) by the very 'sheep' you refer to with contempt.
