@Pink Relite
For you I have written another book
"In 10 games to self acceptance and warlightenment"
I give you an excerpt of the book:
"Modern warlight has made us all competitive and wary of each other. Instead of focusing on fighting our common enemy, the AI, we aim to harm ourselves in endless battles against one another. In countless games we subjugated ourselves to the dictate of flawless stats, putting an imense amount of pressure on us, forcing us to play boring games against random and weak opponents to not have our secret little bubble burst. All that in order to keep our public profile clean and respected among our peers. We joined alliances of people with similiar selfdeceptions to conjointly position ourselves in the virtual hierachy of warlight. More and more all those efforts appear to us like a burden, seperating us from our nexts and forcing us deeper into being an advocatus diavoli of our own suffering.
I will help you change that.
My aim is to help you to free yourself of your selfinduced shackles, to forgive your former self and to accept your true self. To help you realize that you already are a worthy member of our warlight society and to help you on a new path on which you shall henceforth enjoy yourself in a new role as bringer of peace and happiness upon warlightkind. The way to true warlightenment."
your picks were crap, terrible triple pick where you would have had trouble expanding the entire game, only made 3 picks, got countered, you had lost on turn 1, should have surrendered then
I just bought your book "In 10 games to self acceptance and warlightenment"
You write in chapter III: There is no strength in numbers
...to gain is to immobilize yourself. Every single point your income increases WEAKENS you. You will be bound to holding bonuses, securing borders. Your mind will be fixed. Free yourself, be aware.[...]True happiness comes through increasing your degrees of freedom. Leave the ballast of regions behind you and become a wandering bonus, endlessly roaming the landscape of Europe 3v3 or Roman Empire 4v4. Let all the bedazzlement of your team mates hit you, and accept their pleads, but let go of their well meant suggestions. Inhale the freedom of loneliness - through a technique called being extensively blacklisted [...]this is your homework for the next map: attack each and every neutral region around you - but do not capture any. Keep all the armies, and hence all the ballast you carry around to a minimum...
So my question my question is this: "How can I grow the fastest?"
Panasonic I can teach you intermediate, but I'm learning Advanced myself. I'm sure I can help you some way as I'm 1700 + on the ladder. ;) set up a game with me on the 5th August. If you wish.
Alex, why is your best rating ever 1698, but your current rating 17something? I'd guess due to expired losses but I've never seen a player have a current rating highest than their best rating, even players who have left the ladder.
It's because I had to leave the ladder when I went on holiday at 1698, during that time my rating rises to 1730 because of expired loses- i think. Hopefully it will stay like that so when I join again ill be 33rd ;)
