She's just celebrating the fact that there was no absurd multiplier. Ike's win was potentially questioned due to the possibility of the mulitiplier. But that didn't come to pass. And then she didn't say anything mean, rude, or whatever. So why are you trying to chastise her over something silly like that? Whoah dude, chill. Ike should have won, yeah. I'm not an idiot. I supported Roy because he's my favorite, just like she (and you) love Ike. I was there for CYL, I'm not blind. The whole buh-BYE Roy thing tipped me the wrong way and I said something about it. You'll also notice that I wasn't the only one saying not to gloat. Also, Ana has a history of coming across as abrasive sometimes that is not just that once post, and if the tables were turned and I gloated the Ike defense force would have been on my ass. I didn't gloat, I lost, and the Ike defense force is STILL on my ass. Way to win with class, guys.

Sometimes losing and winning can bring out the bad in people, but maybe we can just take a moment to reflect to let it bring out the better in us, yeah?

Book Bro Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Glad Ike moves on but sad Roy is gone so early. Hector is gonna be tough but I'm confident , again not taking the multiplier into account. Let's all try to get along guys. These are the top characters and they're all in this gauntlet for a reason. There's no need for bickering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Branniglenn Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 565,318 points earning Rank ~#1500 on Team Chrom, and ~3800 cumulative rank. Got 500 flags left over. Could have used them all, but multipliers early in the round aren't worth as much, so I relented a bit until today's. Going Team Hector despite not having him. I do have Ike, but the sheer volume of people on that Team, as well as the lack of multipliers will really cut into the feathers I could be earning. I'll join him in the finale.

Vaximillian Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 Thanks for nothing, you Japanese fucker with an Eirika. Helped me much against the Clarine and Cecilia FE6 bridges map with two Deltheas (and a Lucina) guarding the said bridges. My side had Bethany’s Florina and my Lyn. Yeah. That out of the way, thank you, Team Lucina, for a close and engaging battle. May you rally around the best lady of this gauntlet in the following rounds!

Will once again, and calmly, refer to the fact that I wasn't the only one who said something. So, other than me being a proud Roy fan, I'm not sure why you singled me out and not Rezzy. You'll also note that I congratulated her, have since been speaking with Ana quite civilly. You're reading way too much in to stuff, and for someone who doesn't get along you sure are quite the white night. If you want to accuse me of being a sore loser, go ahead. I didn't taunt the Ike fans while the gauntlet is going on, I haven't cried fowl, and I'm a part of the discussion. Winning and losing does bring out the worst in people, and if losing is bringing out the worst in me, according to you, then winning is bringing out the worst in you, according to me. You didn't think what I said was right, so you said something. I didn't think what she said was right, so I said something. I have established, to Ana directly, I have nothing going on against her, and I definitely had nothing going against you, who I do not know, and who was not really part of it.

kcirrot Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 59 minutes ago, Ice Dragon said: Your example is pretty easily countered. With the multiplier, kind-of-close matches (<20% size difference) turn into snore-fests where once the larger team takes the lead, they'll have it forever, but it makes matches with greater size differences more interesting due to having multipliers more often. The comparison to make was that previously, every match with more than about a 5% size difference was a snore-fest because the winner was basically decided and no amount of rallying by the smaller team would be worth anything. Essentially, it's a trade-off where more matches will be interesting and fewer matches will be snore-fests because it's much, much harder to engineer a bracket where all matches are close matches than it is to put any eight characters together and watch them go. I don't see how the multiplier existing is any more artificial or arbitrary than having to hand the ball off to the other team if you fail to advance 10 yards in 4 plays. I guess the problem comes to this. I do not find anything interesting in a rigged match. So I reject your premise that the multiplier EVER makes things more interesting. In my opinion it does nothing but inject an arbitrary and capricious element that you can't even work around because you have no meaningful way to affect the others on your team. So for me, the multiplier fixed something that didn't need fixing. Regarding your football example, that is inapposite to this game. In football you have one team trying to advance the ball against another team trying to stop them. Failing to advance 10 yards only comes because the defense stopped you. The multiplier would be more akin to if you manage to advance 30 yards the other team gets to take the ball back 25 yards of your progress away, because reasons.

LuxSpes Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I remember people hyping a CYL gauntlet for being close, but the Lyn vs Lucina was pretty boring TBH. Once the first few hours passed, Lyn's lead just kept on growing. I don't know if the other match-ups were more back and forth, but looking at the current score, it seems like winners had around a 300M lead except for the Hector vs Chrom match-up. I guess the gauntlet isn't over so there's still a chance that we'll have something resembling Chrom vs Ephraim, but I expect Ike and Lyn to crush Hector and Camilla. I think only the grand finale of Ike vs Lyn has the potential of being close at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
