With the amount of comments this thread gets, i dont think it has to be.
Plus it doesnt have anything important to do with stick empires


Guess so.....

So what does everyone think of the new features? Good? Bad?

I think death match does not really constitute a separate rating system :/

Hate to break the topic of amazon women, but I must address the recent light on a rage episode of mine that's now far more public than I wish it were.

Firstly, yes, I'm going away for a bit. Don't call it quitting. I'm breaking. But in a sense I guess that's quitting too. Don't bother looking for another dolphinjuice, starcraft or WyzDM account. There won't be one.

Now I will explain why. It's not because I'm losing. It's not because of the lag. It's because it's not as fun. I enjoy the game thoroughly. I don't enjoy having to trudge through a 4 minute game in 15 minutes actual time, and lose to a former friend who doesn't even choose to respond back to me. This isn't specifically why I am leaving, it is only the last straw. Some of you have witnessed various breakouts in the Zenith chat (which again I apologize for), and I understand now it's only going to continue until things like this are fixed, and they honestly may not ever happen. So I'm stepping away and will be doing something else with my time. Maybe edit more of my third montage which I've held off on attempting to reclaim my rank position.

I guess this is the deal: I will be back when my frustration subsides and these things don't upset me as much. Right now it's out of control (both the problem and the irritation). I'm not going to address anything that's wrong in detail, the video speaks for itself (which I've now changed title to something more appropriate).

I did the same when projectiles went whack, but this may be a little longer. So don't try messaging me and looking for me here or in TZ. I will return not when the game is ready, but when I am.


And for the love of nachos, nobody else quit just cause I'm off. Sheesh, give me something to look forward to, alright?


I really respect the honesty and thought put into this. I wish you a nice break and that things will get better when you return.

Would you rather it use the same system? I think that would be a bit unfair.

I dont think it should be counted as ranked at all :/

Well, I suppose everyone has their own opinion on it, but I personally cannot wait for it.

lol a mad climb for 2k? though im guessing that people will be stuck at 1.3-4 k for awhile, while as more people play, more rating becomes available to "harvest" (in theory, if our ranking system goes on like this, theres pretty much no limit to the maximum rating, its just that the rating gets funneled up more slowly as ranks get higher. Rating doesnt come from nowhere. Im guessing that most of our rating comes from the people who play (and lose) 3 or 4 games before quitting. Basically everyone below 1200 has contributed rating to the system.


Im not sure im right. Dont know economics too well.

But Theres also the fact that rating is taken away slightly more than it is given, so as more games are played in the same population, the less rating becomes available.
And if rating deteriorates as more games are played, the higher up the rating food chain, rating becomes more scarce :O Just like energy in a food chain, it moves up the ladder, deteriorating every time it does so :O

epiphany moment. :O

The rating system is not deflating, it is inflating. The more people that play the easier it will be to get to the higher ranks. The ELO system is based on the probability of a win. The lower someone's rating is in comparison to his opponent the lower the probability of winning is, thus you get more rating if you win. This is why lower rated opponents give you less rating if you win and make you lose more rating if you don't win against a lower rated opponent. I hope this helps.
