eburbeck - Reply to #106

Yeah, this seems like a reasonable forum to debate the "best" investment strategy for everyone that ever lived...

Just kidding. This DOESN'T seem like a reasonable forum for that, and even if it were, you guys are making blanket statements that are just plain silly and have no real-world application, so wouldn't have a place in the discussion anyway!

Oh, and Hitsu, you want to bring tax policy into the discussion now? As though personal fiscal planning isn't a big enough (off-)topic for this thread?

Come on, focus. This is a thread where one dude (CMSS) requested funds to pay for Strenx taking a lil' trip to 'Murica for QuakeCon. If you don't want to contribute, then don't. But don't think the solicitation by CMSS is the proper forum to push your (poorly-thought-out) ideas about shit that's loosely related to money on all the readers here.

Should I go on, or you get the gist of what I'm saying?

It's not a matter of fanhood but a matter of a flawed economic theorem which had been refuted even before Keynes by Say or James Mill.

You don't even have to resort to those cooky ideologues from the Austrian School to undermine the validity of the paradox of thrift, although an austrian economist W.H. Hutt put the nail in the coffin with his take on the idle resources conundrum.

gienon - Reply to #183

That's because you expect from economics the precision comparable to that of physics, which is invalid, given the enormous amount of subjective and often unknown data that, together with laws of economics, shape the state of the world.

Anyway, given that's your view, I'm baffled at how you dared to ascribe the cause of the economic depression to some German guy's savings.

Lol I'm just being a dick, didn't mean any offense to a non-native English-er :)

The proper way to say it is:

"would have plussed it if it WERE funny."

Explanation: "was" is past tense, while "were" is the subjunctive, which is used regarding "something that could have been or could be" - like the possibility that Jamerio's comment could have been funny (unlikely, but possible).

yes if anyone wants to throw money at quake, better do that.

the QC duel tourney has a decent prize pool (11k iirc), so if he places top 3, which is proable since many euros probably want attend, he should get cost of travelling covered, so he has a nice free vacation.

Funny because if you're a fan of Quake, you'd want strenx to be at every LAN if possible. I think he could be top 3 with enough time to practice.

I am a fan of quake. The tourney at Qcon should be for your noob to average quaker....Something fun to give back to the community. I think it's better for the community overall to have tourneys for lower skilled players than to have the same handful of players at each event.

Its an event for the fans of quake.... or at least used to be. I don't think it should be only for, literally the smallest percentage of the community.

Things like this make the community exclusive instead of inclusive.

this isn't an open tournament (and quakecon has those). it's an invitational, so it is literally and only about the smallest percentage of the community that we want to see compete.

I know that. I'm saying it shouldn't be that.
The event wasn't always invitational and it shouldn't be.
To me it's obvious the company has listened to the fringe hardcore element of their player base for far to long.
Quake live isn't growing. The player base was quite large in 2009-2010.
Now we have a non existent ctf community. No one plays tdm.
There really is no duel community either except the small hardcore element. All that's left is ca and ffa.

The only tourneys left are literally made and run by the community.
Every major event has dropped quake.
There's supposedly a large community according to ql ranks, yet there's barely any views on streams for any tourneys.
These tourneys aren't helping the game grow.
They only satisfy what's left...people like you.
Something needs to be done to grow the community back to what it was.
Tournaments for your average player are a good start.

Barely any views on streams? FaceIt weekly Sunday cups have reached almost 6000 viewers. They generally average at least 3000+ with ease. Zoot usually can reach 1500 on DAILY Quake cups for 125fps.

You realize that QuakeCon has OPEN tournaments for EVERYBODY, right? As in, the AVERAGE player can join these tournaments AND a lot of them are streamed.

So, what exactly are you whining about? The fact that professional players get their own tournament? Seriously? You really think that having professional tournaments in the duel vein is what really is harming Quake? Seriously?

TL;DR what are you talking about?

yeah. no views. 6,000. Ive never seen that number since q4.
last week on faceit they had roughly 1500 viewers according to the esr stream list in my upper right hand corner of the webpage.... while lol had 124,000 some odd viewers.

qcon doesnt have open tourneys. the byoc isn't even open lol.

Last week peak was ~5.3k, previous weeks got close to that as well, if not higher.
There are 1500 viewers even before the games start...
Not sure why would you compare LoL with quake, your previous post is largely unrelated to LoL viewer numbers, it almost looks like you used that as a back up plan for running out of arguments.

I'm comparing stream views. Obviously one is a lot higher than the other. From the standpoint of an event organizer the choice of which game to include in the roster would obviously be the one with the highest stream views if that was a basis of decision making.

I don't play lol. I only play quake.

You said faceit barely managed to get 1500 viewers.

Even if all you listed was done right, more support towards lower skilled players and open tournament, quake wouldn't get LoL viewer numbers. Neither did or will any other fast paced FPS game.

So why insist on comparing the hugely popular casual RPG with competitive QL?

Your point is your opinion. I got no issue with Strenx and as a person who loves watching Quake, I want to see the best, regardless of people's opinion. I'd like it if Cypher came back too. People like Cypher and Strenx are what make the community interesting. There has to be villains for heroes to be relevant.

Correct, t've tracked flights from major EU cities to some major east coast US cities and honestly if you want to travel in the next few weeks you're going to dish out A LOT of cash.

Maybe you can get a (relatively) cheap two way with two stops ticket, but keep in mind he has to stay there for a few days.

I'd say around ~1700€ sounds plausible.

Get a large box. Stuff the frenchie in it. Send it via the french equivalent of fed-x. should be like 300 usd tops. He looks scrawny so i'm sure he doesn't weigh much.

Poke holes in the box so he can breath. Give him a sweater cuz it's cold in a cargo plane.

Not many posting in this thread can read. KNOW ANY SPONSORS. Not sponsor him yourself, with your pocket money, or whatever.

In a sponsor deal, the winnings are split up. Also the player represents the sponsor, by using the products, advertising them, using the sponsor's add-on in the game etc.
So in conclusion, it is not free money. Also, strenx skill is beyond anyones in this thread, and beyond any other players mentioned - he, unlike you jealous haters, has earned it.

The obvious answer is, he needs to do this himself, ask all the sponsors/clans if they'd sponsor him.

On another note, FUCK NO I don't want to see some former good, retired players finding out they suck without the proper practice once again. I have seen this too many times to still care.

I want to see strenx. Instant runner-up for top3.

Too aim based to be that high level. When you aim like that you start to relay on it and make "not that smart" and direct confrontation even in bad position quite often. He is efficient, not that smart. abc game backed up with great and solid aim.

His game tends now to be very defensive and very item oriented. He can be considered aim based only for a reason: he will keep some positions in the open as long as his LG or rail can dominate. Evil does the same too.

Strenx strategy is very simple: keep strong item control and hope for spawn farming. With his aim the spawns doesn't do much damage in return and it is hard to break control on maps where the spawns are easy to reach.

If his early matches were somewhat all aim / no brain but his game is now very refined. Check on the strenx vs evil 125 fps showmatch or this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-q54F2EyfU
Notice how he gives very little to the player in control and focus on getting slowly back in with proper movements and weapon use. It goes much much faster when he gets control.

It is abc game for sure, not as flashy as baksteen or cypher to name a couple but there are a lot of recent games where you won't find any of said 'not that smart'/'direct' confrontations.
