I mean, never change. Keep trolling. People are used to it. They expect it. But you asking them to respect you and not make fun of you? Nah. You can't have both

Forum posting and game play are entirely different things. You can respect a person in both, one, or neither. And whether you respect them in one is irrelevant to their skill in the other.

That’s not what many people here do, though. Notice all the people highly regarded as players are well liked on the forum. And all others who do well are disregarded for one reason or another, as not as good — or in my cause, flat out called bad.

Kevin Spacey is still a great actor.

Donald Trump is probably the greatest self promoter of all time.

That they are unlikable does not erase their skills. At least not to anyone with intellectual integrity.

If Wally is the best player on Warlight..

And I beat Wally...

https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=10985336

Who was then beaten by AG...
https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=11776816

And if Swisster beat AG...
https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=11730540

Does that make Blowfly, who beat Swisster, the best player on Warlight?

Your logic is sound

I don't buy into the idea that there's a new class of top players we're not taking into account.

I'm 25-5 in my last 30 strat 1v1 games.

The losses were to Ko, Timinator, Motoki, Swisster, and alexclusive.

Notice how none of them are randoms we don't know about? I almost never lose to people that aren't well known good players.

I beat Swister tho. So at worst, I’m
2nd best.

Link or it didn't happen

Dang so you are as good as blowfly then

Number of trophies:

FlowBly - 1,
Sally WallB- 1.

Case closed.

just because people stopped playing the standard ladders out of boredom from playing the same template over and over again doesn't mean they are not active anymore. Those players you consider “inactive dinosaurs“ switched their focus on other competitions you are disregarding wally. Maybe you should enlarge your own horizon and try out stuff like mdl to prove your statements.

maybe tom brady should try womens volleyball

I never suggested changing gender or the game.

More like trying 400m running instead of 100m.

Those dinosaurs could stomp a player like u, Wally probably 3 out of 4 times into the ground if both sides play seriously. It might be even a bit more if they play on different templates. I highly doubt Wally could go toe to toe against them on Africa f.ex.

Also every player u mention is currently not better, probably even a bit worse than i am and i definitely know i'm not in the top 5.

He's only trying to make these players look good so his trophy won't look so unimpressive ;)

that is quite insightful actually

Really interesting discussion. Haven't played the top people enough to give an informed opinion, but a couple of things:

- Please leave my name out of it. I've been playing the game for 8 months. I may or may not now be competitive with top players on the official ladder templates (or at least the 2v2 - by far my favourite - if I can have Mostly as a partner), but on templates such as French Brawl or Master Mania most of Lynx and at least one player in 101st would expect to beat me. There are other AWP/MDL templates that I haven't even played yet.

- I don't know, or want to know, all the history of personal squabbles. What I do know is that there is not enough discussion of strategy on these forums, and it's good to see people like Little Mouse and Wally Balls introduce them. Wally's post questioning a pick of mine was not trolling at all. It was an interesting debate we had, which ended sooner than I would have liked. How about we focus on the interesting stuff rather than make the discussion personal.

Looks like going into retirement has kicked me off most Top 5 lists. #sad

That discussion was good indeed, kicorse, but half his posts are trolling. "What is warzone?" , " Tom Brady should play women's volleyball" etc

When someone says seeking like 4 out of MoD, MotD, Timinator, Buns, and timon are dinosaurs who don't play anymore it's impossible to take them seriously. There was a time when people tried to claim people like Sze and Gui who played a few games every few months counted in lists of the best active players, but this is not remotely comparable.
