War Thread Behaviour
In order to curb some poor behaviour in the war threads, players will be denied medals if their behaviour is deemed to be disruptive or inappropriate, even if it does not meet the site wide policy for a forum infraction. In the past, we’ve locked war threads due to the behaviour of a single individual, thus inherently punishing both clans. In order to be consistent, this will only be applied by the Clan Dept Head (most often these issues are raised by the CD team).

And betiko makes a good point tho, It's obviously a lot of you talking here, and for better or worse that is what most of the clan world sees, and unfortunately it really doesn't reflect well upon you. You may say all your trash-talking is all in good fun, but honestly it doesn't look like that. Maybe you do have valid cause, but to come here with half your clan to complain about ratings? Seriously?
If they really are insulting you even worse in the games, then let your play do the talking (and perhaps you are), but I think it's about time you guys picked your battles and at least tried to keep a low keel for once. It is somewhat understandable if you guys are happy at being unbeaten so far, and props to you for that, but it gets very few friends when you move towards arrogance that many would view as undeserved (with half the wins coming for now against other new clans and not top quality opposition like how thota and tofu racked up their unbeaten streaks.)
Maybe you guys don't care how you're viewed either, but it really doesn't come off well, so I do urge you to perhaps restrain yourself a bit more than you have seemed to so far. Maybe you've viewed it as defending yourselves against attacks from outside parties, but ignoring things like that can do wonders (And which I believe most of IA has done so well, loki and co haven't seemed to rise to your bait as you have to demons provocation)
Let's get a couple of things straight...
No Leehar... it hasn't been half of our clan complaining about ratings... that is the point!! I hate to be a stickler for details, but there have only been 6 post by us that relate directly to the bullshit ratings they have given our players during these war games.. (that hardly constitutes half of our clan)
On the other hand.... there have been 12 posts by ljex alone and several from many others trying to take their jabs at us about the lack of opponents we have faced and our style of play... so this thread has gone from back and forth banter to total self defense!!! It seems to me that is an obvious assumption but we are always the first to admit it??? All we can do is sit back and wait
I for one am proud to be a part of a group that has 100% support from ALL of it's members to back each other up and if that means that we are more vocal then so be it!!
To be honest... the posts from outside clans in this thread has out numbered IA's posts 2 to 1 and for that I feel bad for IA (not because they can't speak for themselves but because I think for the most part they are a stand up bunch of people and have decided to stay out of this crap) I commend them for that and let's not forget that this is their war thread also.
Yes there has been plenty of "smack talking" by us and it has been equally matched by a couple of the IA squad... I think it is obvious that we can appreciate a little smack talking but.....
There have been several posts that reference other clans not wanting to play with us because of what we say..... In response to that, let me make one thing clear for sure...
WE ARE NEITHER HERE TO BECOME FRIENDS WITH YOU, NOR CONCERN OURSELVES WITH YOUR OPINIONS ABOUT HOW OTHER CLANS MAY OR MAY NOT PERCEIVE US! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO PLAY US THEN SO BE IT BUT I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH ANYTHING THAT ANY OF OUR MEMBERS HAVE SAID IN THIS THREAD OR IN GAME CHAT... ANYONE THAT KNOWS ANY OF US, WILL TELL YOU THAT WE CAN HAVE AS MUCH FUN AS ANYONE ON THIS SIGHT, BUT IF YOU PUSH US INTO A POSITION OF SELF DEFENSE THEN IT IS OBVIOUS THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM RESPONDING TO THAT EITHER!
Furthermore.... I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT I SPEAK FOR THE ENTIRE PACK IN REGARDS TO MY LAST STATEMENT... HOW MANY OF YOU THAT POST IN HERE HAVE THE TOTAL BLESSING OF THE CLANS THAT YOU REPRESENT FOR WHAT YOU SAY IN THIS THREAD???
Now I don't mean to be harsh and I am sure that you thought you post was good advice for us to head... but quite frankly we are sick of uninformed and unwarranted opinions (and advice) on how we should carry ourselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks again to IA for the war and good luck the rest of the way!
Can you quote specifically what particular posts you are getting at or is this just another one jumping on the posters against the pack bandwagon? I have no particular allegience to either clan but it does seem that the so called neutrals on here seem to be well against the pack and their members. Certain members of the pack have continued to request that the thread is kept civil and asked that certain posters respectfully refrain from posting but the baits keep coming. I therefore hope your comment was more of a general observation as opposed to another biased attackchemefreak wrote:I just want to let everyone know that the CDs are watching this thread closely.

I don't care what you say really, I was only trying to point out that we get chastised for voicing our opinions yet that is all that everyone else is doing as well?? you can say as much as you want as far as I am concerned and I will do the same

Ah my misunderstanding on the 12 post thing, i must have misread it.
Yes some of my post had belittling remarks, but you can't say they were directed at the pack as a whole because they were directed at specific members. You have also made belittling remarks to me though and i know i wont ever care, such is the way of an argument. My only concern about you voicing your opinions is that they are not grounded by any supporting evidence. Ill just throw out one example because i don't really want to rehash every argument that has been made in this thread. Because it is mentioned in your post ill just go with the rating one. Rating is a broken system for many reasons...
1) ratings have no time weight nor do they ever fall off your record...if you think i am the same player now as i was 3 years ago you are sadly mistaken. Yet all of the ratings i got when i would deadbeat or make noob plays are still on my record the same as the rating i got yesterday
2) when 3 stars is average and a good rating is 4.8 (or close to excellent), one will actually get punished if someone rates you based on the intended use of the system.
3) many people are spiteful raters
4) not everyone rates you for every game...thus as people are more likely to rate you if they had a bad experience it is not a true judgement of your game play
the list goes on and on about why rating is pointless but i digress. Complaining about ratings is pointless because the system is pointless, I can understand why you care that he gave you an undeserved rating...he shouldn't have and it is a classless act but you shouldn't worry about it either. Not only is it a broken system but one spiteful rating is not going to make a huge difference over the years...

dude, just a last word about ratings. for me it s just something that expresses how the oponent behaved... at least this is how i rate. if i play vs a private and the guy is nice and did a couple of noob moves i d still give 5 stars. if the guy has been a total asshole in his way of playing and in the chat d rate 1s. if you want to judge how good/experienced the player is just take a look at his points, win rate, game played medals; and for me all normal players are like between 4.4 and 4.8; because if there hasn t been any problems people just put 5s, i guess also expecting 5s in return.
if i see a guy with under 4.4 before entering a game, i thing that he s either a suicider, a sore looser/trash talker or a deadbeater..
If you were a different player 3 years ago; well, people re-rate and people have been rating you since; and with the average and all what you did since it still should be ok.
just look at page 1 of the scoreboard, there is just one guy under 4.5! and given what he writes here and in games; i do find useful to take into consideration an average rating (with no corelation with gameplay!)
anyway, i m done talking about ratings.
the other thing, about win % vs points per map; don t forget that if you usualy play singles, assassin or terminator with 7 other players ect, obviously the win % can t be compared with th one from someone playing only teamvsteam or 1vs1, so yes, i do believe points are not just a crap factor that look good on lower ranked players.

Yes win % does not factor the various alternative types of games...though if you do relative win % then that would be the most accurate i agree but it requires a great deal more work and time which is not always worth it.
