Meep knows what's up
Winning - ''gaining, resulting in, or relating to victory in a contest or competition''
If I define the contest as the race to 10K (which is a milestone, so you might be more comfortable with it). Then I can win at that stage.
''I won the race to 10K'' I feel like this is a statement I could make. I can't say, I won this world however.
Now, you might not be part of that race. Hell, you might not even be on the world at that stage. But I was there first, I got that milestone (which is the same as winning pp, in that it is a 'prize') so I can consider it that I won.
Secondly, the difference between this, and those examples you list Garrock. Is this has no real life rewards.
There is no recognition, no money.
You are rewarded with PP, which means nothing.
My point is, you gain absolutely nothing from winning a world. Added to the fact this is a game. Means you can set your own definitions of what it is.
Perhaps, if I change the word from winning, to success. You will agree.
I would actually argue that we are all losing, because we are all wasting our lives. But hey...:lol:
EDIT: Garrock, you actual give me a perfect example of this in your post. A football knockout competition. You might not end up winning the final. Winning the cup. But you could win your first round, or win the preliminary group stage.
Added to that. A player wins best player. A player wins the Golden Boot (top scorer). These players won something, in this competition, but they might not have actually ended up on the 1st placed team.
Back on topic. I see a lot of co-played accounts being mentioned. Nothing wrong with co-playing ofcourse. But the players on these accounts fluctuate. I know some of the account being mentioned that have these players for this world, another set of co-players for another. So, I am assuming when they are mentioned they mean the main player (email holder). :^)
Your examples are like saying I beat you in one game so i am better even when said team goes on to win the championship.
these to me are friends but also players i rate highly, of course with alot of years we see alot of good players and even more bad players, some make good leaders, some not so much.thats a tough one, have known alot of players over the nearly 10 years i have been playing.
early game i go for people like:
Nauz
Crimsoni
I am alone
Late worlds:
Randora
Eye of the tiger
wakeling
c0vert +0.5 (Seen him a few times, but he doesn't seem to stick around?)
faaaaark +.05 (This one came with the ego you'd imagine these days)
Vodka Brass +1
Major Pleasure +1
1. Jayjayjay68 also known Raven24 (Jay)+5
Only just seen this - I usually only play one world at a time because i like to stick to the world i play. I did have a time where i was asked to coplay several worlds in different times, and agreed and just never got interested in them so left rather than be a useless co lol.
I'll add eddiecesc to my "up and coming" player list.
Navro
Voidemon
Channel 4 news team
It was an honor to fight alongst their sides in Woot
Seems to me like there arent many truly great players on w85 but what do i know, im not even from .net servers.
voidemon = not even close
Navro = was one of my early TW mentors (different name then). I see he is still floating around but does not play with the same voracity as he once did (and neither do I). In his early days I count him among the better TW players of all time.
