Oh BTW, This is directed to everyone, While it is against the forum rules, to share PMs in the public, and using foul language in posts.. Since people really wanted to see some of the chat logs which can make people to get banned. We decided to make an exception to this for educational purposes.. The attitude on OP and the others replied to the above message is a very good example of communication we'd like to see around here. But as this is a ONCE and ONLY exception, it is very subject specific. Please keep that in mind... Thank you!

Yeah.. That was not directed at you.. I was just sharing my observation about something I've had in my mind for a long time :) Anyway, @Execute0rder66 , me and mojo.. Lets stop derailing the thread.. I don't want to get moderated... (they are evil!)

I do not want to de-rail the thread.. but I have a book, "teaching using statistics to be a conman" basically it is based on human "understanding" of the chance and statistics

I agree.. IMO using those phrases for trolling / fun / comedy / jokes.. should be completely ok.. within some commonsense boundries ofcourse.. but while there are commonly used phrases like feminazi or grammernazi in all over the internet, with all these russian WWII connections, using a single german one in this forum or game is like.. uttering the N word as a pure bleached guy in harlem :) I really don't understand that distinction between them!

aren't they fascinating though... There is nothing so real but so subjective and so unreal at the same time.. Statistics can be the biggest weapon for any kind of propaganda.. for the good or for the bad :)

Don't get me wrong.. I'm not for or against the current MM, I'm just a realist.. I accept this is the best we have right now.. and I haven't see any idea to make it better since I started to play WOT around 9 years ago... should MM be improved... yes continuously If you ask me.. But my experience tells me.. May be we reached to the top on MM improvements.. Because in wot, in the end.. the new MM changes (at that time) what made me quit the game for good.. I'm talking about that 3-5-7 MM.. I'm thinking this is the best MM we get (again not saying MM is great - but this is the best they can do) because almost %99 of the complaints in the MM topic or in this forum, are not caused by the MM but by the people in it. :) Trying to fix the MM is like, you have an 18wheeler driver in the seat of a fighter jet, and believing the problem is on the afterburners...

That needs to be tampering with the MM pool.. which negates the definition of the RANDOM This is a perfectly fine result for a RNG All these outcomes have the same probability in a RNG Lets give another example.. where people really have hard time to grasp.. When you ask people, "When you toss a coin... what is the possibility of having 10 tails in a row.." People say, should be miniscule.. practically impossible.. actually no.. , lets make it 3 tosses (to keep my sanity because I'm just gonna write it here) Possible results are, 1) TTT 2) HHH 3) THH 4) TTH 5) THT 6) HHT 7) HTH 8) HTT So basically, all these 8 outcomes have the same possiblity.. When it is 10 tosses (or 10 battles in a row), people say, (I've lost 10 battles in a row.. it should be impossible statistically) and they believe, 1) TTTTTTTTTT 2) HTTHTHHTTT while the #1 should be statistically impossible, the #2 is perfectly fine :) even though they have the same possibility.. PS: Statistics is my hobby, I'm facinated by them :) A little off-topic funfact.. If there are 24 or more people in a room, go ahead and ask for someone to go in a bet with you, for "At least 2 people have the same birthday here" When people think about.. wow.. 20 people roughly.. and 365 days.. yeah.. I'll win.. and they'll take the bet.. But in reality, having the same birthday possibility in a room full of people, hits %50 at 23 people :) you'll win more than you lose with 24 or above people.. in the long run I mean :)

Freedom of speech does not mean you can say anything you want and expect people to put up with. This is not a public park, neither the game chat. Yes you can say whatever you want to say, but you need to live up with the consequences. This is a PEGI 7+ game and forum. So... Freedom of speech does not let you to break rules. It does not matter your insults and swearing targeted to someone or not.. Like in many other private establishments, you cannot sware in a manner of everyone can hear you. Lets try going to pub alone, get in the center of the room, and start shouting swearwords randomly into the air.. then you can start talking about freedom of speech when you were escorted to the outside.. Yes there may be some pubs which you can do that appereantly.. but not in many I presume.. yeah.. same as the rules :)

moved into more "non gameplay related" section.

I sir, know when to accept defeat! That is a bloody kill robbery.. not an ordinary steal! Well thought, planned and executed perfectly! less than 10K damage with 2 torp and 17 shell hits.. I respect!

damn! thats good.. my lowest kraken is around 28K but at tier 10 :D actually we should do a lowest HP kraken competition!

This is a team game.. There is no such thing called as kill stealing. Kill is a kill.. one less enemy is a one less enemy. What gives you right to have that kill? doing most of the damage? NO.. Because that enemy infilicted most damage to you? NO.. No kill belongs to anyone... I just hope people someday will learn this is a teamgame.. and only important thing is a win... and what you do to contribute to that..

I just want to point out again because some people seems having hard time to understand that, people, especially in typhoon and hurricane clans, whom are extremely capable of adapting their game and strategies to the CV involved meta, believes, and feels, and experienced, with the current CVs in CB, the game become extremely boring, stale and tacticless... Using %90 of the ships available seems a good way to lose a game. One class is completely eliminated from the CB (BB) and 99%of another class as well (DDs) So, people who support this boycott DON'T say the following, - Remove CVs from the CB - We want the old meta, - we absolutely loved the island hugging bow tanking stalingrads and desmos, - we are unable to learn to play CVs or find a good CV player - We are unable to rise into the where we at in the former seasons They are just saying, - Regardless of what we are capable off, the CB with CVs is UNFUN! - This is a game, and "The most competitive" part of this game became just a tedious chore because of the addition of CVs.. - We want to have fun again.. Thats all.. in addition, here are some ideas of us.. etc etc etc.. bla bla.. Please do not look into this as black or white.. As for me and my clan.. we asked to our members what they think.. and in the end.. it is a game.. and If someone wants to play.. they can play.. we are in no position to tell people "We as a clan will not play the CBs, so you guys... even though you have enough people to form a team, cannot play as well!!" I personally support this notion. This is a game, and people who wants to play.. should be able to play.. I'm not gonna join the boycott, but I support and respect their every right to organize that..

Do you have the same ingame name in NA server?

can't find the source now, but I'm %100 sure, reports from divisions counts as one in total.. only the reports though.. not the compliments.. It is very easy to test this.. sync drop with your clan mates.. in max of 3 to 4 games.. you'll be on enemy teams

Great idea.. but now we are facing another problem :) This game does not have enough people even in peak hours to fullfil that league system.. because we have tiers.. which means, there won't be 5 classes but will be (lets take it over tier 4) 35 classes.. How long people can wait before getting bored? They even removed the odd tier CVs because of the low player numbers.. Because people were waiting in the queue for minutes.. especially in the odd hours.. Yes, league system can be an answer, but you need more online players for that.. much much more.. at least 10 times more than a regular game because of the tiers and classes we have..

Yeah the thing is, When we (me and others who think like me) oppose the SBMM thinks we like to have extremely bad players on our teams :) no we don't.. but with the unique setup of this game.. we see nothing better is possible with the MM. The only way is to educate the players.. and we know the possibility of this :) sadly.. and another point.. whatever you program your SBMM to do, you cannot disregard the fundamental fault it has been built on.. we know good / very good players are a minority... these guys will always be teamed up with worse and worse players.. Basically.. when there are 4 guys in the queue with the following WRs.. %50, %40, %55, %65.. %65 WR guy will ALWAYS be teamed up with the %40 guy.. there won't be any exception.. Until his WR drops.. This is in my book, punishing that guy because he is good..

That is the question I've asked so many times here and still waiting for an answer :) you've quoted me but you didn't answer my main question. If you did, I didn't understand then.. Where should the SBMM put me.. I play horribly in my moskva.. but very very good in harugumo.. I'm generally above average but in someships I'm very good.. in some I'm extremely bad.. What should SBMM do with me? Thanks for the kind words mate..

about what? What did I miss? help me out here :)

This topic is locked. Due to unconstructive nature in its Opening post and the discussions under it. nothing good can come out of it other than some sanctions right and left. Please consider this for future posts

We have a very long discussion of the CV topic here.. Lets use this one..

This is an idea many can agree but in reality, everybody have the same right to play regardless of how they play... Sad story though...

I didn't want to mention them again since people posted just above me :)

No tier 7 ship can mount concealment module.. Slot 5 only opens at tier 8...

I have an idea Since people think this ship will be food for others, I say lets give her the homing torpedo / pinging gimmick of subs.. :) What can go wrong!!!
