Twin peaks again...
...and this time more thourough.
I still continued my policy of playing only tourneys in [R] (except for a match against the maker himself) and now have surpassed Fischerking in CR.
It was a tough job to displace DukeTyrion from his first spot in [Blackbox], after nuffle had shown me his rough side for quite some matches. But finally I could inch my way up there and I must say I consider it more of an archievement, though I`d rather see a harder fight with other great coaches joining the box more.
Well.. I guess now I can check this project once and for all and go for the next one.. though I`m not sure though.. BWR 180? Or should I try and pry the title for the longest undefeated-streak from Lycian`s stinking ChaosDorfs? Go and collect 20 panties with my Pink Slip Team?
I`ll think about it..
Oh.. I of course realize, that these ratings don`t mean shit to most, but I like them and do my best to have good ratings without 'abusing the system' that much to render them useless. Still.. now is the time to come out of your holes and tell me how low I am.. bring it on!

I'm not in a hole.
I'm delighted for you if you think this is an achievement worth completing and you've succeeded in a personal goal. I don't even mind the ego that much.
However.
My personal opinion is that there is no accurate way to rank BB coaches, certainly not to the extent of two decimal places, perhaps not even to anything but the nearest ten points in the two ranking systems you've decided to appreciate. So, whilst I respect your right to be happy you've completed your task, it's perhaps worth (even through the ego - although I think that's perhaps just English not being your first language) remembering that there are plenty of coaches that genuinely don't believe the rankings are worth the paper they are written on, and we aren't here (as the undertone of your blog suggests) just to moan in a jealous, childish internet 'hole' about how no-one is better than us and we are just brats who like to knock those that do well.
M'kay?
Yes, you're probably very good. Yes, it's nice to climb a ladder or two, yes, it's nice to attain personal targets. But sheesh, give it a rest already.

You're second in Blackbox again \o/
Albeit, I don't expect that to last long.

Since it dosent look like you cherrypick alot, i would like to say grats well done. You havent played me though ever thats a bad sign ;)

@Purplegoo:
I fully realize, that ratings aren`t that accurate and a good deal of reaching my goal is due to a good run in the dice (in R) or the fact that only few people are competing yet(in case of B - which I want to change).
The last sentence was meant as part taunt to a certain coach that just snipes at me when he finds opportunity and part disclaimer, that I know comments like rij`s are coming and that it`s fully OK with me.
Sorry that you took it wrong.
@Duke:
Seems like I have to activate again...

Ooooh, Purplegoo came out of his hole :D

Grats. Maybe i'll have to knock you down in R by beating you in a final like i did last time! Shame i didn't make it to the final this time in the Tour.

A job well done Circ!
I agree with your statement that more "great coaches" need to play blackbox.
As for the chat between you & melmoth, it sounds like you two should just get a room: That tension is running high...

what's up with the womanish crying of some coaches here?
Posted by Cloggy on 2009-06-24 08:22:56
Well done Mister Logic.
I would think that it is now time for a different type of challenge. Start playing with bad or even mediocre races and try to stay up there. A ranking would mean a lot more to me if you showed me some games with vampires or rotters or anything else that doesn't tip the balance in your favour.
Only a great coach could achieve what you have blogged about here, but unless you keep up this level while mixing it up a bit more it doesn't make you the greatest of all.
Same comment goes for the people who point out that you'd need to win a major or 100 ranked titles to be the greatest though. Why don't YOU do it with a shitty race for once...

I'd say well done whatever. I didn't find your blog arrogant. Don't we all set ourselves some goals?
Having over 4 cas a game, have the best fling team, have 170CR, have the player with most spps.
That yours is to be 1st, and actually, achieve it, sounds arrogant. I don't think so.
Well done!
(btw, I wish I was first once too)
