i've proven that provisional is a bad idea

Post by -Muffin- » Mon Apr 23, 2012 5:11 am

Please for the love of God, Toonces, get rid of provisional on Blitz! in my first 14 games on Blitz (got one to go), I tokened like a motherfucker, ruined 14 games, and now I'm rank 1. Although Provisional is theoretically a great idea, it's ruined by greedy people (similar to Communsim).

I apologize to all the unfortunates that were hurt by my experiment. I know a lot of you are mad at me. And I'm also sorry for not telling you why I did it. I needed to make it authentic, leaving only 1 variable (all that scientific method sh.it).

As compensation, I'll be doing a trivia game on my weird knowledge tomorrow in Blitzkrieg and Ill be giving away tokens, lots of em. One can hope that tokens can heal the pain of several unfair games.

And if you were wondering, yeah it was worth it. It probably costed upwards to 100 bucks to prove this theory, and I really hope Toonces takes it seriously, but that was 1 hour of playing drums at my church. So, it really wasn't that big of a deal for me. And if Toonces doesn't take it seriously, well at least he has 100 bucks more to spend on Starport.

And you'll all probably think this is bs, and I'm okay with that. None of you probably know me well enough to know that I have a sick obsession with suffering for the betterment of others due to my crazy philosophies on selfish/selflessness. So I'll take one for the team.

Sorry everyone :(

Love,
Muffin

Sadly everyone knows that provisional is bad except those who don't comprehend the mathematical systems required.

Bro. I support socialism xD

Ideal future: we all vote for a more perfect virtual reality, so we're put in steel cages and hooked into the system, while our bodies are being fed by the food gathered by robots. Sounds a lot like the matrix. And sounds like its very possibly our future. With the rise in gaming, this is the future the future generations will desire.

And of course that's only if the world doesn't explode on 12/21/2012.

Congratz to the winners of the trivia game. TIMAMANGA with 9k toks. Captain.America with 8k toks. And Mad.Cow with 7k toks. And to the others that won 4k and 2k and 1k toks. Oh and Toonces, I need you to make me able to give tokens away, because for some reason it wont let me.

Alright Muffin, i verified you as a token trader (a faster way would've been to email support@starportgame.com).

Regarding provisional ratings, they're fine, and are necessary for team selection :)

As far as your experiment, you probably should wait until the end of the season to make conclusions about your results. You haven't won anything yet. You're at 1,360 with 2 months to go. You're under the impression that this makes you un-catchable?

I'm under the impression that I ruined 15 games, it has nothing to do with trophies. tokening wins trophies lol. provisional ruins games.
