Your number one ranked player

farming for points is a sad way to make rank, it would be nice if besides our rank they had the average rank of our opponents...

He's a trooper. He never gives up, and he still buys premium

LOL. The funny thing is that almost anyone that loses to him will also be going to 1 pt.

Maybe I'll PM him to see if he will play a game of doodle

The map rank script will tell you that.

HOWEVER what i DID say, is that he did NOT win that game because of superior skill, but was lucky to be able to take an almost free kill after SkyT missed. I am not taking away from the fact that sjnap is a good player, because, unlike you, without a doubt he is.

Trying to flame someone who cant fight back...that is my definition of low

Maybe when your score doubles and when I will win only slightly less than 20 points for beating you will I consider your opinion to mean something. Then again, flaming someone who you believe would not have the opportunity of responding does attest to a lot about your character as a person.

Points dont equate skill. The quality of beaten opponents does.

Hardly...for someone who only plays good people, it is unfair to say they are better than anyone at their rank because they havent had the experience of playing people of lower rank and risking their score. I am not saying that I am the second best player because I have the second highest score, I am just saying that rank is an indication of how hard you try, not of how good you are.

sooo, you try really hard at cheating and newb farming? ok, clear... thanks for the insight, we all already realized this things about you. let me know when you get stripped of premium again, until then, you are back on ignore so i can avoid your ego-maniacal posts... cheaters have nothing worth
saying that i care to waste my team reading...-0

How amusing that owen is justifying his failure as a player and his intellectual inferiority by calling people cheaters without the ability to justify himself.

Until you are able to respond to my post, you have no reason to call me a cheater other than to make yourself feel better that I have double your score

There is a very large difference between me asking my brother to go on and defend me and going on his account and doing it myself. During my absence, he had a conversation with king_achilles who can contest that it wasnt me talking.

Furthermore, I have no idea which multis you are referring to seeing that I was not assuming any accounts other than my own and you have not stated any accounts to which I was a multi with.

I play many noobs who never show up, but their decision not to return has nothing to do with me persuading them to leave. In every game I play, when the noob shows up, I offer to play real time, not using delay tactics as many others do, and even give advice so that they can learn and play better in the future.

Twill wrote:To add further fuel to the fire, JCKing has been busted for creating multis which were farmed by Max, and potentially others.

Apparently, I joined one game against someone whose IP read Japan that turned out to be JCKing. I had no knowledge that it was him I have no idea what you are trying to show by mentioning it.

Twill wrote:To add yet further fuel to the fire, Max has repeatedly been accused/suspected of sitting abuse and had multiple blocks on his account (we all remember the "little" *manimal bust that took all those accounts with it because of previous blocks with Max)

Mentioning the accusations which were CLEARED and the multi who took 94 of my points has nothing to do with me being guilty of anything. Clearly you are reacting to peoples opinion of me rather than on my guilt. There was no reason for me to be busted and I have yet to receive and information as to the reason for the bust.

Twill wrote:Max found some great loopholes in the scoring system, he pissed off a lot of people and skated on some pretty thin ice with regards to the rules. There's going to be a lot of emotion on several sides about this, but Max dug his own grave in the end. He crossed the line he shouldn't have and now it's his choice what he does with his position.

Your opinion of me should have no factor to my remaining on this site. I play noobs and that is my prerogative. Playing for my friends when they need to leave is not against the rules and I have dont nothing that could be considered cheating. I would still love to hear what I was ACTUALLY busted for because as of this moment, you have yet to accuse me of anything.

you were stripped of your premium and removed from the scoreboard for CHEATING, period. i don't need to justify anything, everyone saw it. you are a cheat, period.-0

I think the great thing about our community is that for the most part people know who earned their rank by being a fairly skillful player and those who simply manipulated the system caring less about the game play and more about the points.

Getting to Major without cheating and by playing games that arnt stacked in ones favor is no small acheivment.

A cheats a cheat

Hate to break it to you guys Sjnap is no easy win. Also playing games you enjoy is not a bad idea either.

by **Iron Butterfly** on Sun Nov 02, 2008 10:45 am

I know I never implied that and stated such several times. Farming a newb for 5 points was.

To beat a dead horse...You never saw Micheal Jorden dunking on kids in the Special Olympics.

There were several arguments in this thread few if any questioned his skill.

of course he's not Bruce, Snap is one of the best players on the site, in many if not all, disciplines. He is also a really good chap.
.. i think the thread developed past the specifics intended by the initial post almost instantly.

There is also no doubt however, that Sj does play quads against less organised, newer teams as it gives enough of an advantage to make the huge point inequality worth risking.
Not much wrong with that i think; it is based on beating a team with superior knowledge and teamwork. Quads is the best way to ensure the reduction in elements of luck upon the end result. (i hasten to add that it is not a skill which comes easily and needs a team to truly bed-in)
