The only people I fear (because i feel like I should be able to stay close to them, but beat my ass every time)are Apollo and Gaja. Both these guys manage to beat me everytime :\
Anonymous, I don't fear you it's been 6 months since we last played, and in 2013 I am 2-3 against you. I lose to you more than I should, but when I see your name, I think, oh this should be a fun game, but I have a good chacne of winning. Against dead piggy, I'm like Ah shit, I will have to be lucky to win this game.
And if you want to look at stats, I am 2-10 on 1v1 agasint you, all 7 losses coming in 2011 and 2012 when I was much worse than I am now. You are a strong player but I don't fear you.
1= myhand & gui - their devastating psychological insights always undermine my self-esteem. plus gui might threaten to beat me up.
3 boston - im afeared of beating him especially when he is drunk or if his beloved socks have lost. he gets angry and scary and uses lots of naughty words like "fuck" (sorry).
4 aranka - she might irrevocably invert my misogynistic paradigm and i'm just not ready for the sheer amount of truth she drops at will
5 anti-x capybara - he haunts me and makes shit float around my room, it's not fun
My most feared are FlyingBender aka FlyingBurrito and dreuj. I didnt score a single win against this FlyingGuy. He is Krypton. And I cherish the one ladder win against dreuj very highly. =) That was the single situation where a plan spanning several turns actually worked out into victory. All other games against him were lost. I am just wondering why he dropped so many places when he was still in the ladder. I was really wondering why he actually could be beaten so often. MathWolf is another, but I haven't played him for like ever, so maybe I learned this and that lessons since that time. Dunga is so, so. For some time I thought he was easy game, but the last two games including the ladder game were very plain lost and I hadn't had a glimpse of a chance. So sad he is gone. Like there is no lion in the jungle anymore? Where is the challenge now? Nah, just kidding. ;) And thanks for the honorable mention, Piggy. =) The ladder game against you was absolutely lucid and one of my favorites. Will I be able to pull that off again ever?
I fear Boston, knowing that he will hurl verbal insults at me I if I win (eg lucky shit), and hurl verbal insults at me if I lose. Not to mention sometimes he wouldnt let me rest until he finally wins.
Oh yes, I fear jay too, for I know if I lose against hin, he will distribute the game link like pamphlets.
I fear general arun as well, being one of the worst players on wl, if General arun ever beats me I'll be ashamed of myself.
I can relate to the Boston front, Pulsey. I played 5 games with him recently. The first ended with him getting booted at distribution (which he took surprisingly well). He joined what I joined or invited me to more 1v1s until he finally took the win in game 5. 4-1. His verbal abuse is more potent than his skill.
I can't really say that I fear anyone, yet. No doubt I will, once I get around and play more strong players. The only outstanding loss, (to a well-known player) that I can recall, was to ps.
Unreality; I'm honoured :) Seriously! Surely worse players than me have got a lucky win against you ;)
Pulsey - You always call me the worst player on WL. I acknowledge I am around/below average skill level on the ladder - meaning above average overall IMO. I can beat around half the random auto gamers now. What do you base your claims on?
Also - the next question to ask is what have your most surprising wins been? New thread?
I'm actually 1-1 against Boston, except when I won he said "shouldn't lose to you" that deflated my feeling of victory...oh well. I guess overall Longhouse (Featherbucket) since he consistently counters me almost* move for move in-game. 3-1 for him, all played in the last month. Unreality has gotten the edge over me as well, I need to settle that with him still xD
