Go ahead. We won't think any less of you. Promise.

i admit i was wrong remembering you as a decent person. i either have a very bad memory or i was seriously wrong judging your character.

The settings I play are not point generating settings by any means. A player can get points much easier by choosing certain other settings which allow you to ambush unprepared players with cheap tricks time after time.
But the settings I like are ones which are quite hard to master, involve some deep thinking in terms of positioning and pathing and some careful execution of multiple eliminations. There is no diplomacy involved. It is all about positioning and tactics. There is luck involved and so the best player does not always win the game, but thats not so important. The thing is simply to have interesting games and learn more about this rich and surprisingly difficult game.
I have no great interest in the CC scoreboard. I dont want to play teamgames with cooks on oasis map, or to play freestyle games where you have to cash your cards in the last milisecond of your turn. So I will never make it to the top.
Regarding the people on the top of Robinettes list, I have come up against stbtgal and impassive many times and been beaten by them many times. They are strong players. Hats off to them.Thats all I can say.
I have played lots of sequential esc games against all comers, especially speed games. They are fun, but often you just get gifted the game, or eliminated for no reason, by self-destructing players, and it is not so satisfying. Also the strategy needed in order to win is not so deep, because you dont have to think too much about people blocking or developing strategies of their own, it is just about waiting for people to fall into the same old pitfalls and make the same old blunders. You do still need to be accurate at sweeping though.
Why God hast thoust forsaken me.....WHYYYYYYYYY
