I only want to help players with [X] in their name. That shows a greater commitment, which I'll interpret as a greater willingness to learn. I want people I teach to eventually be able to challenge the best players.

Also, if you invite me to a game, please make it a practice game. I don't want to have 5000 games played any time soon.

Bad example? [20] is for tournaments and training. I told [20] players they could add the *tag* on the *line* called *tagline* or to their name. Many of the best players would refuse to participate in [20] if they were asked to change their name. The important thing is to have good players, not identical names. [X] is for apprentices. If I become myhand's apprentice, I will change my name to [X] Gui. Until then, I am not an apprentice to anyone. Asking an apprentice to change his name is for practical reasons:
- I want confirmation that they are serious about learning. Joining the clan is a sign of this.
- I want to keep track of the players I help (follow their games, to be able to offer suggestions/tips if I see them in games/tournaments). [X] on their name helps with this.
Eagle, with my help, I could get you to about 1650 on the 1v1 (your highest rating ever is 1394) and 1550 on the 2v2 ladder (your highest rating ever is 1321). Want to join [X]? We both know you could use the help.
[X] is like a gym for fat, out of shape people, or a weight room for athletes that want to be better. Eagle, you are obese. You could use a workout.

When I teach, I say: "Mian thinks this," "Impaller does this," "HHH does this," "BP said this," "zaeban does this," etc. Lesson #1 Eagle: There are many different styles of play that could lead to one being a good/great player. Or as Bruce Li said (paraphrase): "Not having any style at all is the most effective style: adapt to your enemy." He got that idea from Daoism: 无为有所为 (I'd translate this as "not being anything is [in essence] being everything").
The game is not about hyper-competitiveness. True. I am not especially competitive in all my games, only some. Though it seems you treat the forum as a place where you must be very competitive. It is odd you accept losing in the game, but on the game's forum you prefer being competitive. I like to have fun on both.
