  • TWD - Worthless

    TWD is just like elim. The difference between the two is that nobody has figured out yet that TWD is pointless (as it does not accurately measure skill), and in TWD refusing to fight is not against the rules. Just like in elim, all one must do to rise to the top is pick on the easy people. Elim, like TWD, also bring out the ego in most people who care about it. Some people I had no idea were so immature until TWD came about. Now there is more talking than playing, and trying to get a duel against a good opponent is comparable to solving an algebra problem by chewing bubble-gum, since all the top squads are usually busy beating up newbies or showing off their egos, while belittling most others. One team can refuse to duel the first team who challenges them, and pick an easier team to play instead. In my opinion, if a team is challenged by someone, they shouldn't be able to play with anyone but the person who challenged them in that division. For example, if Onix challenges ELusive to a TWDD, Elusive can't challenge or accept a challenge from anyone else in TWDD for a certain period of time. Another way to solve this problem would if for example Onix challenges Elusive to a TWDD and Elusive challenges/accepts another TWDD squad and plays, then Elusive should be required to play Onix at least once in TWDD in the next 3 days. THese may not be the best alternatives, yet I can think of no more. Regardless, if nothing is done, TWD will remain to be imbalanced and tempers will continue to flare, causing TWD to become (if it hasn't already) worthless as a function of the zone.

    I asked for a challenging system the first day twd started. Easiest way probably is to set it up by twdbot or twd site. Team A challenges team B. Now team B has to play A during the next 7 days or it's autoloss for B. The system needs to be build so it cannot be abused by lets say A challenges B and then refuses to play B during the 7 days getting easy win.

    There would need to be limits so that a team cannot be challenged by more than say 2 squads at a given time. A restriction like Team A can only challenge squads that are within 100 points of their score or are only 5 spots higher/lower in the ladder.

                I did not call you cheaters. I simply showed how your squad (not being the only example) was able to use the system. The problem is not with your squad, and I have nothing against Cripples (even though some of you have something against me that I can't figure out). The problem is in the system.

                    Cry me a river, fact is.. alot of us r lazy, we sometimes don't wanna try hard. But when we're in the mood we'll play. I remember fore when u were on athiest.. u challenged us.. we had jus played a match vs pallies who is currently int he top 5 in wb atm? not sure. we had our main guys on and we all wanted a challenge so we played. was it our fault one of ur retard players left during the match? you anaylize this SS game to much. TWD is.. here.. for whatever the squad is in the mood for. im sry your feelings got hurt that we didnt accept at the time. hopefully TWL will start up soon and we can get scheduled matches going. Now quit bitchin god you sound like my girlfriend.

                      Here is another thing Fore can keep in mind. These bots aren't exactly great. We played Onix in javs.. win round 1 and bam! bot is gone. Ok Elusive? We played them win round one and bot lagged out. These things happen. Move on with your sorry life instead of wasting time and crying like a bitsh on these forums. Enough said, I thought you were better then that.

                          don't forget that Rampage had to call an smod to cancel a game against my squad because they were too afraid to play us.

                          how's that for exploitation?

                            I mean wtf is faith and Fore's prob? Is Shriek bad? Is Melee bad? And if you say Melee is bad then dont forget Melee smashed Rampage. I have no problem with Rampage personally, you guys are definatly a good squad. But look at them, playing squads like titty trying to get free points? You see me posting about that shit? No because I honestly don't give a fuk about what other squads do or play. Only mine. Cya
