The Myth About Diversity in Box
"Wait, are you saying everyone should play Chaos/Nurgle keggie?" Posted by Mr_Foulscumm on 2015-11-22 06:22:51

No Mr_Foulscumm. I play all sort of high TV teams, if I can get them that high. What I am saying is that everyone chooses to play Box, knowing what is out there. Its a sort of gambling, BB style. Please no complaints about your own choices. I think the perception of a lack of Racial diversity has nothing to do with its team variety, it has to do with Gonads. People don't have Gonads. ARR started because of the lack of diversity in all of Box. I was there from the start and was playing these teams prior to its conception. The real diversity is not the Races, but the amount of coaches willing to play up there. I only see the same 20 guys up there on a regular basis, fighting each other. I believe racial diversity in the Box is a myth at high TV. Most Races are not up there because most teams can't survive at those high TVs. People try, but can't stay at the high TV. Ive played up there with several ARR races, even reaching in the high 180s with Goblins. One game at 180, next game at 130, its the way of the world. It isn't that there is no variety in races, its that those teams don't sustain that high for very long. One can reach a 200 TV, but then faces a team that is more experienced and it gets dropped down. Its a myth that no one wants to play races other than Nurgle, and Chaos up there, but when you do face those teams, you get dropped back to reality. Lowered TV or even retirement/ ruined teams. People tend to start new teams rather than rebuild. Also its easier to win games at low TV, because most of those coaches that start over are lower CRs. Easier wins. So you find more coaches min/maxing at lower TVs for their CRs and not out of necessity. The game is ego based on the parameters of winning and losing, and not just enjoying the game.

How should we fix it? I don't really care to fix it, but if I had to I think of something, the Sprints are the way to go. Maybe there can be a reward for highest TV over its 16 games of sprint. Sprints, like the Human Premiership, or ARR seem to be bringing all sort of different people to the Division. Maybe a DMU sort of idea is out there, based on killing COMBers. I have taken a very large effort to rid the world of these menacing monsters, but even that becomes boring after a while. What it really has to do with is Gonads. Do you have the Gonads, to change the parameters of the Box division?

Anyways, have fun playing what you want to play, and where you want to play. If you can't have fun, well, that isn't my fault, its yours.

What's DMU?

Dwarf Mangling Union. It used to be an lrb 4 point system group on here that hunted Dwarves.

Thanks. Looks like the CPOMB Hunters Club:

https://fumbbl.com/p/group?group=7417&op=view

Don't know if it's still alive and kicking.

Also note that Sprints may lower the team diversity, unless coaches are willing to play more than 16 games per Sprint. They already do, I believe, hence the almost perfect scores of most top teams.

The only thing worse than COMBers is COMBOVers.
Posted by Mr_Foulscumm on 2015-11-23 06:16:37
Should I feel flattered by this?

I'm sure you're a manly man, and I know that actually passes for an argument around here.

See you in the Box.

+1 keggie, absolutely right with you :)

It wasn't a shot at you Fouly. I was just answering a question of yours, and then decided to copy, paste it to a new Blog.

I AM the box.


That is all.

My Blackbox Humans have now played 60 games straight at a TW above 2000k. There are also some huge Vampire, High Elf and even a Slann team up here. But of course this doesn't happen automatically - you have to adapt.

I am trying to read this on my mobile and was about to dismiss it (too small rather than uninteresting) when I noticed you used the term gonads, I will read it later on my PC :-)

Rating 6 for having gonads!

Big issue for no bashy teams is rebuilding.
Before the new scheduler it was much faster/easier so you could get higher or at least more often at high TV with no bashy teams.
Now it is much better to start over to be protected.

The new scheduler has only eliminate the most extreme case of minmaxing but at a huge cost IMHO.
