Did my first scrim session with the folks here.

Was an eye opening experience & I learned a lot about the things I need to improve upon.

Highly recommend this server to anyone in the low level looking to push midlevel.

we'll see how this works out, and it's also open to people around mid-level who want to help, as we have a role for you :)

For SQ map list how important it is that it balances out the maps at map list stage.

Like I could balance out so that both teams get equal amount of "votes" and then it might be that the end result favors one team over other. This just would be an easy fix for the "default maps" problem

Thoughts?

would any low-level teams be interested in a program where you'd scrim a mid-level team and receive coaching after the session?

I especially want to hear from those around D7 or D8, as I think facing anything further down the comp ladder would fall off in terms of effectiveness

It only took the better part of two weeks for the community to break the head of the new Excalibur 8s server, incredibly disappointing.

Idk why people debate Nim Chimpsky having a grasp on language, this clearly communicated what I wanted.

I didn’t expect ever having to explain necessary and sufficient conditions within a Splatoon context.

This community is full of surprises, it’s great :D

I’ve been thinking a bit how to do feature prioritisation for sendou ink and something that could be tried is monthly or so sessions to go over what would be the current focus. Then ppl could also submit their own ideas and I can at least comment on those.

TBH simply too many things I’d like to do

I have a lot to discuss on the Popcast, but, naw. I’d rather just chill today.

Also, maybe it’s about time I look into a substitute host for the Popcast. It doesn’t have to be me every single week. Who here is good at sharing their opinions for an hour?

One of the neat things about Excalibur 8s is that I can see feedback for comp.splat.top. One of the weird things about it though is that a lot of the "I don't know why I was placed so low, look at my results" conveniently forgets their most damaging losses.

I expected it, it's still weird to see.

One of the many issues with ELO like systems is this type of stuff can happen since order of matches matters a LOT :/
Freeflow beat FTWin and Moonlight, only lost to Duck Motif and Milky Way.

Freeflow missed top 8, finished 10th.

this entire thing has been such an exercise in creative action for me, I went from having vague intentions of action to having 13 people on a list to interview next with plans to get through all of them in the coming months

GO DO YOUR THING, DONT WAIT, MAKE IT EXIST
recorded the 7th interview - meaning assuming I am able to upload it without issue tomorrow, I will have completed my challenge of 1 a day for a week!

It is DEFINITELY an unsustainable schedule for me long run - but I think it helped me test my limits and really engross myself in it

Expect more!

I noticed some bug how the tournament pass randomizer works but how should it even work. Should I make the same hosting team always have the same pool and password for the whole tournament? So if you are assigned to host every match, you never changed pass or pool. Opinions?

Might as well.

If anyone wants coaching for any level (for #compsplatoon), and you can work with an EU timezone (Greece), I would like to coach more people.

Free of cost.
I have a job (teaching and research) for that. It's pretty much where all my coaching prowess comes from.

Yeah!

I wanted to ask the western comp splatoon community, is there an upcoming lan tournament next march? I’m planning to visit the states around that time, and I’d love to come and spectate if there is one.
