dont have calculator open and too lazy to click the 'start>all programs' crap).

sjeez -> start - Run - Calc

or. .even lazier
Windows-R calc Enter

If you're running Vista it's easier just click Start, Type Calc and hit enter.

Although he had the right answer just transposed the 11/14 to 14/11. The answer he wanted was the answer he got though.

really?
11/14= .7857 <=== This would be the correct ratio calculation, right?
14/11= 1.272

I must still be sleepy, cause I'm thinking transposed .... my bad.

lol, yea. Anybody know if Tammuz will be posting current rankings during the hunt?

[Tammuz]

i spose i could put off wrapping my christmas presents just a little longer...i really do wonder why i bother sometimes, i get really meaningful or expensive stuff for my family and i get a bonsai potato kit, sana potato, in return.


and I didn't think i was that tired but yeah he got it the right way round in the first place. jeez guys come on if you divide a number by a bigger number the answer is smaller than one, so big number(14) over smaller number(11) makes the answer bigger than 1 (1.213), i wish i was you accountants, i'd be swindling you blind.



EDIT: on second though, no, not going to do an update tonight.

Mmmm Winnie.

I wonder if anyone's going to get that reference.

Baldie
for the player with the worst scalping ratio

I'm starting to feel like i may be taking this one, hahaha. Least that's what it's feeling like right now.

[Name_Violation]

I'm begining to wonder if rogue agent is going to log on, get one scalp, not play any more during the hunt, and get a perfect score... with how the averages work. it would probably end up with the highest score, 100% win ratio...

w00t for inherant flaw's in the system

Last count I was up to about 30 scalpings counting the people who can't read.

What are you up to?

[Redimus]

I spent all of last night, and all of this afternoon getting scalped for no return, I wouldnt count that particular 'honour' as yours yet sonny jim.

Frankly, I dont think I've ever been in any competition where I was so completly incaperble of beign able to compete. And Im not laying any blame at Tam, becuase this isnt something he would ever be able to account for. There's just too small a level spread, which means the biggest guys on the biggest faction are always gonna be nigh on impossible to compete with, especilly when your faction dosnt seem to have filled a mission since this started...

[Wingspan]

As understandable as that frustration is, Preds don't need to fill missions to win. See, we did it twice in less than an hour.

Or does that only happen when I show up?
Perhaps config re-evaluation is in order to maximize kills with the assumption you'll be killed as well. Know though that if you're keeping END high I'll have some new Repairers coming out the door soon. But on the serious side that is most disheartening.

[Redimus]

I've never really known *how* to build tfs that are hardcore killers. My builds have always been XP first, questions later, and Im loathed to try now, when the combination of my faction's sparcity, real life, and my admitedly slightly rusty builds (im not happy with the performance of a few of my guys this last few days) it seems rather too late to do somthing about it.

It has to be said, when we've got a few of our good players together (myself, AZ, loki (although he could do with some moar xp, he's starting to lag behind), yourself and CdC) we tend to wipe the floor with all and sundry, but we havnt been getting together anywhere near enough over this holiday.

This was quite the humourous out come

kinda gutted now, as im the most scalped bot, so mite wait till people start puttin more hours in so its not a constant 1-1 against Gs and i lose each time cause he gets back up

[Redimus]

It really is never a good idea to go up against the strongest commander (by a country mile) in the game with no promise of backup, hell, you dotn even get much xp benefit from going up against him, becuase unlike before, he may be strong enough to beat 7 types of crap out of you, but he isnt actully much higher up level wise.

As of 5am i believe i was 9 for, 20 against.

So, I see you're hiding in the arena. That's what we Decepticons call a great big pussy. Nobody likes a pussy. lol

Hey, watch it. If I can't call the bots that for hiding, you can't either.

[Archanubis]

Personally, I think I've been breaking even thus far; I've scalped as much as I've been scalped.

mate theres bein a pussy then, playing it smart, if u haven't noticed most of todays missions u've scalped me in have been me being the only level 2, then a couple level 1's (if im lucky) but mostly level 0's, while the cons got mostly level 2's and 1's

im jus waitin till the field's a bit more even

neways if u want a slanging match please continue, but hear me, i ain't no pussy, u only look out for urself, ive got team mates

Fact is, I've only got 4 more scalps of your team, total, than you have of mine so I'm not sure why you would hide when we're nearly 50/50 against each other...

But, I guess you're right. Cowardice IS a strategy for some I suppose.. Gee, I sure hope I don't scare anybody else away.

[Redimus]

The fact it's so close would make it even more inteligent to play strategicly. And just cuase you have the xp and the back up to fling your guys in missions and expect to survive, dosnt mean the rest of us, with smaller factions and less xp do.

Now I admit in the normal run of play, it annoys me that people hide in the arena rather than risk the missions, but thats becuase in the normal run of play, there isnt really that much to lose. But as someone who is always trying to include strategic playing into my own ideas, and as someone who knows all too well how difficult it is if you aint a con, I can fully understand Electron's tactic (although I will say that it also means you cant add to your own, which might be hurting your chances, concidering how the preds are so outnumbered by the bots, and the most regular preds are also hunt members).

yeh but u don't seem to understand its not about u, it never was, its about points and ratios, and if my lose ratio is higher than my win ratio, it will effect my team

if its was jus me in this scalp , id dive in as many missions as poss, but theres no point in losing if i don't have, i'l jus bide my time in the arena, when the odd's are more favourable

neways don't need to justify myself to u, and if this continues, u'll probably get on my nerves, so go have a go at sum one else, its crimbo eve go take a dump or whtever u yanks do

* to add to F-e's comment ok, pred missions it is, and also thanks, cause im glad sum one understands
