Forums are about discussion, not about winning or losing. And of course I accept losing. You learn more from analyzing losses than you do from victories. I'm not commenting here about "winning", merely about my thoughts on your "clan" system all together (if you could ever consider this as any sort of clan), and your seeming lack of commitment to the system you yourself have made. You quite often comment on other people's clan threads about what is wrong with their clans and ideas. This is me doing the same, by commenting on your own system.

i learn from wins (good) and losses (bad):

三人行 three people walk [self included]
必有我師焉 i must have a teacher
擇其善者而從之 i follow the good person's habits
其不善者而改之 i change the bad person's habits [in my self]

I would love to join this clan, teach me what you can Laoshi.

ok waya/gratitude. invite me to the game you want to practice. if it is a map i'm unfamiliar with, we can learn together.

Here, this better? :) btw you have invite

well, im interested in getting better in 1vs1 ladders and 2v2 ladders and if this can help, then im in. do i just put x in my name?

Id like to join this clan because i would like to improve and learning from the best seems like a good way to do that.

ema, yeah, just add [X] to your name and invite me to a game. if you want to practice the 2v2 ladder;

- create game
- medium
- scroll down to very bottom: strategic 2v2

if anyone wants to invite me to the auto game:

- create game
- small
- strategic 1v1

oh yeah: please remember to make it a practice game. it's not a real game, so i dont want to increase my "ranked games played" count.

This is a nice clan in my opinion, not only will this improve the warlight community, it will also add more competition.

I'll join once I can change my name. :D

Gui, I also bow down. Your cockiness knows no bounds. Of only we can be as amazing Warlight players as you, and just as full of ourselves.

Texas, you are welcome to join [X]. I have a decent training system going:

- First, I give players a link to a game with chat that logically and in a step-by-step manner explains the game, using zaeban, Impaller-Waya, BP, Mian, unknownsoldier, HHH, and a few others' styles as examples. Two links to exceptional 1v1 RRs are also included, and I suggest that the players watch them.
- Second, depending on the player's level we either play a no fog practice game or a normal fog practice game. We discuss picks, strategies, etc.
- Third, I ask the player to try to digest everything learned so far by play on his own a bit before inviting me to another game.
- Fourth, more practice 1v1s with me.
- Fifth, once we get 16 [X] members who have joined a practice 1v1 tournament of 16, they will be able to practice there too.

Essentially, I offer a wide variety of ideas, strategies, examples (hardly any from how I play, almost all from how others approach the game) and then hope the players can find a style that best suits them.

I don't mind your name calling. You don't know me. I don't know you. But no need to let your emotions get in the way of a good chance to become a better player.

I'll join this clan. . . once I'm permitted to leave the illustrious BMS.

Anyways, I think this is pretty cool. One of the top-ranked players of Warlight is offering help to those that desire it. When he has no obligation to, or compensation in doing so.

Just for your information, although I'm fine with any fantasy that could give you extra fun playing, Gui, there is no need to build a kind of clan to do some teaching. Let me explain.

You might know, as I explained it in my profile page and here and there in threads, that I consider it a very noble task to help weaker players improve and refine their game.
You see, I am a teacher myself too. And anyhow I had some good feedback from my WL learners, I guess because I try very hard to add simple concepts to describe the flow of a game. Please ask Z, Yeon who once was more or less my pupil (well he didn't need me for long, but still !), Widzisz, tambourineman, Major Risk, maybe BostonBruins, and a couple other ones I happened to meet on so-called "Mian's Teaching game[s]" I brought to the list of open games.
I'll encourage somewhat skilled players to do the same once in a while, opening practice games to play weaker players and comment substantially about what happens and what went wrong.

If you want to be so active helping, you may, or we may in a collective work, try editing a full strategy guide based as a system of concepts, as Nimzowitsch made about chess (Nimzo., "My System"). This could fit in great in the WL wiki. What about that ?

And I'm still flattered, considering you keep mentioning me as a top player although I've been dropping so many of my games recently ^^

Clan: helps me keep track of them. helps me create games for them (invite list has no categories, so common names function as a category within the list). i'd also hope that they could learn together. but you are right, there is not a need to have a clan. i just think it would help.

i sent you my tutorial game's link. i'm not interested in helping faceless strangers. i'm more interested in witnesses the growth of specific individuals.

Also, I think joining a clan (and thereby changing your name) signals an act of humility that shows one is ready to and willing to learn from the teacher. Just my 2 cents though, of course.

Here's a challenge Gui. Best of 5. Maps and settings of your choosing. You beat me and I will bow down and call you master. You lose and never again will you be so condescending with your over bloated ego on these forums and in future treat others with respect and humility.

I doubt you'll take the challenge but it's there all the same.

He doesnt need to be the 'best' player to be able to teach people.

Cant everyone just leave this thred in peace? if he wants to teach a few players let him. If people want to be taught by him let them. What difference does it possibly make to you?
