honestly nedro I cant even remotely empathize with your point of view. i haven't been killed as a watcher in years and I've seen it happen a few times at most. just seems obvious its the type of thing that should be self-policing, especially when its something so minor. doesnt make sense to have blid babysitting dumb shit like that. are we going to ban people who bs others too? should we ban paperboy and swift for pausing all the time? should we ban people who rage-hide peons at the end of games? maybe - but from games, not the server.

The only way the server would ever evolve past what it is now, in general, is if there was a huge influx of new users at roughly one time. That way there are plenty of 'newbie games' where people of similar skill levels can play each other and learn slowly. Because as it is now, the chances of a new player signing on, playing a game with people who a) let them play, or b) don't just run them the fuck over, is very very low.
I dont see any tutorial or instructional video or anything else coming close to matching the effectiveness of easily playing with players of a similar skill level.
I will say that it seems in the past 6 months or so since I came back there have been more new users signing on than there's been in a long time, and a few of them have stuck around and become competitive enough. Im pretty sure Talrand, for example, said he just came like 4 months ago or so. And I posted before about how often I see users I've never heard of hosting private games with newbie settings like Fast speed, probably playing their friends.
So there have been some new users, but I think it would take a much higher volume to make a real difference. And that isn't really anything to do with blid or anyone else.

Flame Wars & Offtopic / Is Sepi the worst person on the server?
« on: August 15, 2016, 05:48:14 PM »
Was thinking today that Sepi aka Antti_Kiviniemi might be the least likable person on the server. Constant shit talker, constant rager, huge ego. Saw him going crazy at Knitterhemd earlier in chat saying some insane shit, raging, "dont even say anything knitter, u newb, i will destroy you. i dont want to destroy you but i will." Something like that. I know theres a lot of egos/shit talkers/ragers but he seems to take it to a really deranged level.

I saw Kanuks tonight, he was playing Warcraft 2. Tested him by asking him an obscure smurf name he used to have and he remembered.
Hopefully he plays more than just once.

I've seen a lot of new people lately who always host private games. Many different names, I wonder who they are and where they've come from.

Server.War2.ru / Re: The problem with old/ef
« on: June 27, 2016, 07:46:37 PM »The problem with gow ef is that you don't know how to play.
Gow is fine.
Also i dont think you have any basics of strategy, that's why, even tho i dont know you, you should quit this game.
Everything you see when u watch two good players playing a gow ef game is all been studied perfectly,based on experience and lots of games of trying to find the exact way to do things, building differently everytime would be itself a mistake.
Writing a post crying because you see someone building exactly the same way doesn't make you gain any credit, on the contrary, makes you look like a complete newb and idiot.
Instead, you should of just ASK why certain players build always the same.
Actually the problem is that you missed the point completely. I don't know if its because english is not your first language, or that you're not smart enough, or that your instantaneous rage you always display on War2 came up too fast and stopped you from thinking clearly. "You should quit this game." Settle down kid.
Yes, there is a reason people build the way they do. Obviously. My point is that for any build at any location, it can only be attacked a finite amount of ways. If everyone builds the same, that means they are constantly defending the same finite ways their base can be attacked, and attacking others in the same finite ways they can attack. Because its the same both ways. And after a small amount of time, you see these same things so much that you know exactly how to defend it because you've done everything there is to do already.
I do agree with others that posted here that team old/ef games are different and give a lot more variety and chaos. [/td][/tr][/table]

Server.War2.ru / The problem with old/ef
« on: June 15, 2016, 12:49:15 AM »
The main problem with old/ef GoW is that everyone builds exactly the same with little to no variation. And when there's little variation in how people build, there is very little variation in how people attack each other. I thought about this watching a game the other day where braviet was at s9 and someone else was at 11. When 11's peon ran into s9, there's really only two spots braviet's hall can be, "middle" or "below" the gold mine.
Braviet's gold mine was in the middle, with his first farm creating two paths to block someone else from popping his peons below with a farm or tower. 11 blocked this with one wall, forcing braviet's peons to pop out below. Now having played thousands of games, this is something braviet has no doubt encountered countless times. Whereas someone like me hasn't yet figured out what's the optimal move now, braviet and most others have. And with the slow ef speed making execution a non-issue, to combat what's happening is just academic for him.
This is one small example. I watched Viruz play a series vs someone where he got 11 three games in a row. Every game he built exactly the same, rax walling him in, smith behind rax popping grunts out, followed by a chop below the smith a bit later to pop a cat inside. He won every game despite the fact that 95% of the gameplay was exactly the same.
On gow bne there's a little more room for building differently which is a big factor, but I think just as big is the fact that at higher speed, execution comes more into play. Things are a little more chaotic, especially if you're trying to break a dual while maintain things at home. Things get a little messier and that makes games vary much more.
tldr: since everyone on old/ef builds the same, every higher level player has tons of practice knowing what to do in every situation because they've already encountered the exact scenario countless times before and equally importantly, does not need to be fast to do what they know needs to be done.

Medivh is not really the same level as the rest of those guys except maybe Knitter.
