How many people

deletedover 9 years

on the mentor page are actually learning anything?

How hard would it be to fix the mentor program completely, I remember when Shivv - arguably one of the best players wanted to be a mentor attempted for months to become a mentor and no one gave him the time of day.

Why have a program if it's not being incorporated into the site to do what it's suppose to do? I literally just actually looked at the mentor page and I see maybe 1 or 2 mentors who actually don't suck at the game, the mentees are literally all the same anime bullSh** avi, what the hell how does no one notice the site literally sucks because no one is teaching the new players how to progress from Fancy Pants > other setups,

Or we can just make two comps, one with under 500 games played and the other more than 500 games. It would be like two divisions and it would be a rotation. New players won't be afraid of playing against experienced players but they would compete to trophy on comp setups.


No.

probably because his idea of talking to people is insulting them with esoteric vocab and then insisting they stop ruining his games


how someone acts in a competitive game or on the forums doesn't equate to how they'll act when teaching someone else. I had the same amount of harassment and hc vios as shivv doesn't mean i'd tell my mentees to kill themselves when i'm teaching them how to play

The goal is to make them play other setups, not to judge who is good enough to comp... With my idea people would play other setups before reaching 500 games.


What on earth do you think is so different about your setup that it would make people stop playing Fancy Pants and Classic?

Not to be a broken record, but what about people like you? You have 3,000 games on Classic and Fancy Pants, which would give me no confidence at all in your mafia abilities if you weren't on 7,000 total.

Half the site probably has 500+ games in those two setups alone, which are of no benefit to the other half of the site in judging competence.

I wish I was the worst player in every game, it's be a great platform to improve on.

My opinion is that as long as the mods are complicit in letting people throw games we wont have anything but pointfarming because that's the only thing left with integrity in it.

And the thing is, even if you're good at finding mafia, you still need to behave in a way where people will listen to you. Nothing you do demands respect, Zovea. You're like a little puppy dog with an extremely annoying bark.


That's not my problem at all. My problem is no one plays the game rationally so when I make and declare rational options and opinions it flies over people's heads and they lynch me because they think they're being deceived. Then if I try to coast I have to deal with people that are too dense to realize that I'm not going to repeat unsuccessful practices in consecutive games.

However these are problem exclusive to this account.


Then you should support a new mentor system. I can't remember what your stance was on it.

do you even know half of these mentors


I know pretty much all of them.

Considering that most setups are slightly town sided and you flip town most of the time I'd estimate that if you said nothing and voted completely at random you could average a 45-50% win rate. Zovea has a 43% win rate. Every time he types something in a game, the odds of whatever team he is on losing actually increase

No I'm just saying that the mentor program is not just a piece of crap just because your part of the program does not work does not mean it does not work for other places I mean do you even know half of these mentors

When you base lynches of the whiles of your female reproductive organ that's exactly what it is.


i;ve been playing troll ranked games and troll setups (as well as serious comp ones) on this account for about a year and a half, and my winrate is still not as atrocious as yours


Yes because when I die early in game for fosing mafia and have to rely on imbeciles like yourself to close the game, I'm complicit in my win rate.
