Your getting so annoying Billy Walsh. You'd be no closer to #1 if Buns was playing faster so why cry about it every day. And also, he is not manipulating the ladder as you previously stated. In fact by playing 1 game at time there is less ability to manipulate one's rank. Do you have some hidden agenda against Buns that explains this barrage of criticism.

By playing fewer games he has fewer chances to lose. That's blatant manipulation. All of them are doing it.

clearly he is playing games

Ya, he's in 21 multi-day games right now. He clearly has the bandwidth to be completing more games. This is a conscious decision. He wont openly admit it but the reason is that he clearly wants to maintain #1 for as long as possible and he thinks the best way is to play as few games as possible, since he is not confident in his ability to keep beating other top players and realizes he is just on a lucky run.

How many games is acceptable to your standard Billy? It's up to you to decide now how fast everyone should play? Take the #1 spot and then you can show us all how it's supposed to be done

oh my god. just shut up. "he is not confident in beating top players" go beat some top players before talking trash. You're just a troll. i get it in now.

please stop offend Buns - Billy just win the next 30 ladder games in the row and u will become the nr. 1 - without any manipulation

How many games is acceptable to your standard Billy?

They all started out playing a lot of games and slowed way down. It's the slowing down that is the problem.

Every one of them does it. It's not a coincidence. It's not that they just don't feel like it. It is clearly intentional so they can camp on their spot. Look at the arrows and equal signs on the ladder. EVERYWHERE else it's full of arrows, people moving up and down. But top 7 is all equal signs except two guys who traded spots. That's not an accident. Those guys are all stalling and camping, afraid to play and lose their spot.

Your getting so annoying Billy Walsh.

oh my god. just shut up.

You're just a troll.

Wow, he's acting like a child. I guess I must be wrong?

I've never seen someone be this butthurt about the lack of their own skill...

You may want to work on your reading comprehension.

First ~15 games are "cannonfodder" which you usually beat without much thinking. usually you get more serious opponents afterwards, slowing down your playing speed (at least, if you want to win)

"But top 7 is all equal signs except two guys who traded spots. That's not an accident. Those guys are all stalling and camping, afraid to play and lose their spot."

YAAS, I told you all I was true #1 when I got 8th! There is no possible way, anyone can be better than...... TBest

You completed over 20 games since April 12th. You are clearly doing it wrong.

I suggest you read this book:

I'd say you're the one that is acting childish. You keep crying like a little baby anyway. You can't accept or can't understand the simple realities of the world. When people get to the top they are less keen to take on additional risks or burden that have no benefit. Go figure. Who'd a thunk it.

If the top players were being hindered from getting the # 1 spot, it'd be worth listening to. But your not one of the top players and their speed of play has no effect on your inability to get there. So what's your gripe exactly? Who are you advocating for? You're losing to players much further down the ladder. how will getting more games with players that will beat you 9 out of 10 times help you or anyone else.

If he is stalling games that he is losing in then please show some evidence and call him out for stalling. Still he would be playing by the rules and the legitimate #1. Is he routinely taking 2-3 days per turn? No, it doesn't appear so. But still he would playing within the rules and the legitimate #1. Your only gripe it appears is that he is playing in 1 game at a time. It's totally within his right to do so. Get over it.

No worries, keep going Billy! You'll make it! Maybe one day you will be lucky enough to match with Buns and then you can take him down yourself :)

Given all of these incorrect assumptions your conclusion is based on, it's no surprise that conclusion is false.

It's ironic you called me a troll when you're the one in here trolling the shit out of me. How about piss off now, troll?

Good Morning to thus of you who read this in the morning :D Hope you enjoyed the thread.

Wow, you're completely delusional. And I'm not trolling you. I just got sick and tired of reading all of your ridiculous posts. I'll follow up on this 30 days from now when you're still not #1 and you realize the speed of play had nothing to do with it. bye until then

if you were not trolling you would not need to insult me multiple times in each post. you are mad at something, probably your pathetic life, and taking it out on me. i already told you your assumptions are false. i would like to be #1 on the ladder. right now it looks like even top 10 would take a miracle due to everybody camping on their spots and no fluidity in the rankings.

I'm mad at you Billy. I think I've made that perfectly clear. It's like your not even paying attention. jeez
