Stop making excuses and accept that you are being crushed by the relentless advance of freedom.

Merk if you win I will consider you confirmed town.

the problem is there are too few of us for me to be motivated to rent a proper private server where we can mess around with ourselves

but the ones that are there are too far apart in skill, i mean where i am from you or merk, people like diqnol and kaschei are that same amount better than me in the other direction

i honestly feel like there has to be a solution without the game being horrible to us but i don't know

I don't mind random assholes if I'm not tied to them, but I have no interest in being forced into getting completely stomped over and over again by assholes.

arms race is basically you start out with a gun and as you get kills with that gun you keep moving through the different guns, ending with pistols then finally knife. whoever gets the first knife kill while on the final level wins. it's really fun to get to know the different guns and practice aiming. also you respawn instantly so there's no downtime.

Can we confirm someone town for being bad at chess? Can we confirm someone as scum for being bad at chess? What can we learn from this game?

I don't actually think you can make solid alignment statements this little into D1 especially when most of the thread's been counterstrikechat (arms race was indeed fun) and chessspectating

Okay, I agree. It's generally hard to make statements about alignment early in day one, especially when the thread has largely been nonserious. However, I think it's fairly clear you and others assign some value to Orpheus' post. I think it's shady to say that you don't have any opinion on him at all while you're coaching him to play less scummy.

i think you're joking but you're right

historically 1. b4 has only been used effectively to lay traps for opponents whose style you're exploiting

i don't recall anyone off hand from the greats consistently winning with it
