Team Roster

[The Purist]

OK,.... Is there anybody who cannot live with their current assignment. We have the ability to make some changes on who is german and who is British but we must make those decisions soon. I would prefer to let sleeping dogs lie but want you all to feel comfortable with the team as it is structured.

Cheers.

I am ok! :D

[Doctor Sinister]

All OK with me - I'm a German player through and through (more potential for evilness!).

[Boff]

No problem, ready to go.. :bounce:

[Boff]

I just checked who my joust opponent will be - it turns out he is the Blitz CM Ladder Custodian, he is currently in 5th place on their ladder and has stats of 109 wins, 91 losses and 63 draws.. :crosseye:

So,...what your saying is he is easy pickings :laugh:

[Doctor Sinister]

GULP!

Good luck Sir!

Boff,

I wouldn't worry too much about your opponent. He has only won 40% of his matches, drawn about 25% and lost about 35%.

A 40% win ratio is crap. He's just one of these guys who plays a lot and, therefore, inevitably end up near the top of ladders. Hell, I know someone who went more than 109 games without even a single loss.. I think he had 2 or draws in that space though... so really, 109 wins out of 260 games isn't that impressive at all.


The guy you really need to fear is the guy with close to a 100% win record who either:
a) has played quite a few games or
b) has played few but all against the top of the ladder.

The former is a very good ladder player, the latter is likely to be someone who is so good that he's just playing the other top players to see if any can beat him...


Alternately, as Scipio quoted recently... The best swordsman doesn't fear the second best but the worst... Why? The second-best has been trained and is therefore limited by his training. The worst is an unknown quantity and could do something very stupid... and unexpected... which could catch the best swordsman off guard and kill him.
