There has been much debate about how EXACTLY the teams will be ranked when the Finals come around, so I'm posting all three possibilities that I think are viable.

#1 - Weighted Scores - YYB=/=3 Side Games

Based on the current rank-up ratings; YYB is the baseline at 1, SS is worth 1/2, and MSN and SOSD are worth 1/12



#2 - Weighted Scores - YYB=3 Side Games

Based on the assumption that a YYB win is equal to winning all 3 side games, with all side games weighted evenly



#3 - YYB = Everything Method

YYB decides all, then side games are used as a tie breaker



Congratulations to Shenkuu, Krawk Island, Kreludor and Lost Desert - top 4 in all 3 charts

Sorry about Yesterday. I was a little hung over.

Woot, KI is still doing decent!

Man, I feel bad, I've been neglecting the Cup to go mooch off a friend, that, and I'm too lazy to restart since my trip to bantown. >_<

It's all right. I've been drinking all weekend... fun but not so good for playing computer games. If I were drinking alone, that would be another matter entirely (games non-stop)

YYB drinking game, take a shot every time you score a goal. GO GO GO!

Oh dear god. I average 10 goals a game. I'd have alcohol poisoning and die before I could enjoy my buzz.

Score in moderation then, give the computer a chance for once.

So are you encouraging me to do this on dummy accounts that I created to bring down other teams' averages? Because the computer is comprised of idiots. I'm convinced that if you touch the ball exactly once when it enters the field that the computer will make less than 10 goals. Just touch the ball and stop.

...This calls for an experiment.

Heh, my attempt to see how long you play before you pass out led to something completely different, my job is done. (I make no sense, it's a sign to get some sleep. xD)

I'm uploading the video now. The answer was 4 goals. In 3 minutes. That's downright terrible.

The only thing the enemy AI is good for is being annoyingly in the way.

Oh god, I know, they like to block my players so they don't move back to their places and it ruins anything I can do in retaliation to their once a game attack.

[jcrboy]

If I hadn't seen it myself, I wouldn't have believed the WHOLE MINUTE of nobody moving anywhere. And usually the goals that end up making it into the goal are blocks that make it to my goal before I can switch active character. The YYB controls are completely unintuitive and usless IMO. It's the entirety of the competition that gets me excited.

And for anyone caring, this is the stupid AI in action.

I've noticed different teams seem to act differently. All I remember is getting seriously quite angry and giving up against faerieland I think because they just constantly followed and shadowed me, constantly took the ball and ganged up all around me, making it incredibly difficult to score. Yet other days it's been similar to your video and they do barely anything. Maybe TNT made it so that certain teams are harder to play against to mix things up a bit?

Not sure. It seems the only things that actually change between teams are formation and player size... but I'm not fully sure about offensive differences. I'm fairly certain that the foes have been programmed to be lousy at shooting (to avoid discouraging new players) but crazy at defense (to keep old players from posting 14 every game). Those buggers ALWAYS swarm... even when they don't mean to. Like when one's returning to original position and another's chasing you, and they do an accidental pincer maneuver.

As Ange said, I do indeed know. GO LD!

Oh and: KI is #1? Not anymore it seems.

[jcrboy]

Ange, if I may call you such (as it is your name but I don't know if we're close enough... just following Noit's example), you have made me chuckle with your reference.

You have seemed direct and to the point in most posts, and that's why this seemingly out of character post caught me so off guard.

The name's Jeremy by the way. I think I'm going to end up sticking around for a while, so I might as well avoid everyone calling me by my username. Jer or Jerm works fine if you're into abbreviations.

I made the introduction thread... this can be my "I'm not leaving any time soon" thread.
