My intention with this post is not to be a party pooper or to hinder any formalization of what the competitive state of this game is. I just wish to share my opinion on this system as a whole.

Other than the reason that I mentioned (formalizing the competitive state of the game) as well as trying to formalize some sort of tier list for what skill is in this game, I don't see any other reason why we need this in the game. If anyone can come up with more reasons why that are constructive for the game, please let me know.

Furthermore, this system doesn't fully succeed at doing those two things fundamentally. Atwar is a complicated game, and it is not a standardized game. There is no formal or strict definition for what 'competitive' is. You can say that it's 10k EU+ 4 min. But that's just based on majority. It's not even like all tournaments in this game use that setting anyways. Not only that, but skill in this game is multi-criteria and subjective to opinion. A person can be extremely good in a specific setting in this game, and just above average in the rest, while you can have players who excel at most settings. With that in mind, you can't come in and define what an 'Atwar Grandmaster' is in the way that this system tries to do. I mean, you're basically disregarding a big part of the community here. I know that you've implicitly narrowed the scope in the description by saying that this pertains to EU+, but the title is misleading. And even then, EU+ by itself is complicated and can be subdivided further. That's why you have Master of West, Master of East, CW tournaments, 5k, low-turn-time tournaments, etc.

Furthermore, you add to that the element of nominations, adding even more subjectivity to the matter. Any top player can in theory nominate anyone. Also, the descriptions for the titles themselves are subjective and ambiguous: "extremely skilled yet aren't quite GM level". This is a very basic explanation but, in chess, you become a grandmaster through norms, which you earn by performing well in tournaments which are exclusive to very high level players, players who are better than you on paper. You don't just beat one GM and become a GM. You have to consistently perform well in this higher skill environment. This is a more objective system. And it is detached from what the player's ELO rating is. You basically remove rating from the equation by making it fully based on results. You could have a Grandmaster title and have a below-average-rating for the players with that title. It is very hard to do this in Atwar. There are technically no 'official' regular tournaments. All tournaments are hosted by community members, sometimes once a year. And the decrease in activity has also decreased the frequency and legitimacy of these tournaments. I mean, the last Master of East started months ago and hasn't finished. The next Master of West should've already started by now.

I appreciate what this system is trying to do. It can help new players who care about improving to understand how do top players fall on a scale, and it can give them something to strive or to improve towards. But, unless this system improves somehow, people will just see this as a circle jerk.

Ok let me break this down because it's very confusing and i'm not sure what you're saying in the first half.

Here's what I gathered from your post:

• Doesn't include Scen/RP "communities"
• There isn't a formal definition of competitive?
• Someone can be good at one setting and not another in Eu+
• Any top player can nominate anyone
• Title description is vague for how narrow the scope is
• Difference in chess vs this system

Doesn't include Scen/RP "communities"
This is by design, none of them have mastered the base mechanics of the game sufficiently just by playing Scenarios/RP/other maps/other presets. They have a fundamentally different view on what fun is in this game I think. I'm willing to accept I might be wrong about this, but we'll see when a tournament between them and GM's gets made. If it turns out that I am wrong, I will find a way to include them.

There isn't a formal definition of competitive?
There is, it's dueling and CWing. Any setting in either of those is competitive by definition. That includes scenarios and other maps but it just so happens that players who play mostly other maps/scenarios DECIDE not to duel or CW on them.

Someone can be good at one setting and not another in Eu+
True, that is why the definition of GM will also include 'mastered all of Eu+'. You must be well rounded to be a GM <- this is the sole reason why I didn't put you as a GM.

Any top player can nominate anyone
Not true, you must first meet the other prerequisites. If you can meet the prerequisites and convince 5 AMs or 2 GMs and 1 AM to nominate you then you deserve to be on the list. I will of course delete "troll" nominations but the way the system is created, it's hard to troll in the first place.

Title description is vague for how narrow the scope is
True, it is vague for how specific i made the scope. But as i said previously, the scope i created defines the objective as best as you can. The objective is the "best" player. The scope is what mostly everyone will accept as the place you find the best players. It's just not feasible to prove someone is a master on ALL maps or ALL scenarios when they don't play them competitively anyways, and it wouldn't prove anything substantially different from what my scope provides either (pending i'm correct about Scen/RP players).

Difference in chess vs this system
This is my favorite argument, because i thought about this quite a bit before making this list. I didn't want this list to be "my list". I wanted it to be the communities list. If the staff chose the GMs/AMs then they likely wouldn't be accepted. Tournaments don't go to completion like 60% of the time so i didn't want to base it off of that. And I trust the GMs and AMs will only sign off on players who are skilled enough according to their definition.

Hopefully this satisfies your concerns!

Eshkruar nga Hibiki Verniy, 05.11.2021 at 03:11

ScenComp Drama aside, I wonder how many of those AMs will underperform assuming the map goes from EU+ to Asia/Africa/or any other preset.

I am a world player first and foremost, so i see how they perform in world games. They are typically a dominate force as long as they can stay focused and don't quit halfway through lol.

I redid the look a little bit, hopefully this looks more prestigious.

Eshkruar nga Tribune Aquila, 03.11.2021 at 15:57

There needs to be Competitive "Beta" Grandmasters, scenario Grandmasters, and RP Grandmasters, each with their own nomination process

An "RP Grandmaster" is on average about as skilled as a rank 7-8 in competitive. Not going to call them GM/AM in this list.

Welcome to: Sid pisses off scen community with 2 posts. I expected this to be a shitshow, but for different reasons lol

Brutal Slayer for AM

Brutal Slayer has been Added to the list by Sid, Tungston., Froyer (2 votes), and LuciferStar

Eshkruar nga Froyer, 03.11.2021 at 06:54

Brutal should be Grandmaster, 1700+ elo peak and carried hellenism to 1100+ elo this season.

You are free to nominate him for AM first. I forgot to set the bar at 30 days of active in cw/duel OR during the current season, I fixed it.

What about those of us that cw but don't duel?

Doesn't really matter friend... don't even bother finding logic behind this. Many nomited because of 1 duel/cw played last 30 days, others nominated for 0.9, -30 or-200 elo while the best one of all is the grandmaster cc.

I have to set a "limit" on activeness somewhere, and 30 days seemed the most appropriate. Even if the players don't currently have the elo requirement, they held it for a decent period of time before or just recently (within 2 days) went below it. CC for instance had over 1600 elo for a large portion of time and he is arguably one of the best people you could have in a CW right next to WD.

Yes i know i'm not perfect, that's why i'm not touching the player list on there anymore until people get nominated and it fixes itself.

Ya gotta have all the pieces to solve the puzzle. Elo is the most objective thing we can use to determine skill. If you only got clan elo then we don't really know anything about you personally

Well it's just prediction from you and nothing else, unless they play they does not qualify for other preset.

We see a lot of competitive players going into scenarios, or other maps and they typically decimate everyone in them after a little practice. You don't see the reverse happen in more than 1-2 special cases. If that is the case though then they should only need minor practice to master Eu+ and get a title through my requirements. I picked Eu+ because it's the most known and played.

Come on Sid be real unless they don't play they don't qualify, it's something for later when they start playing it and 98% of player won't even play other preset, I'm not talking about scenarios but the preset available of world map till now.

When some other preset or map becomes the generally most played then we can make that the defining map/preset. It would be entirely too hard to measure people playing in different presets or maps on a fair scale because of balance issues with the rest of the presets/maps that don't particularly exist with standard Eu+.

Kindly correct the name " Master/Grand of eu+" only.
98% of players you mention only plays eu+.
So by saying it's an insult to the players who actually play in all areas.

Don't limitize the scope.

You pretty much have to play duels and cws to become the best in the game. I limited the scope because the scope defines the objective. Dueling and CWing is an somewhat objective measure, everything else is hard to measure imo. You are free to create a list of Scenario Grand Masters

I never said something related to scen, all I'm saying rename it to eu+ and there is a reason 99.9% people
here only plays on eu+ and nothing else and if they play any other preset I'm sure 80% of Master players you mention won't even qualify.

I'm willing to bet that you are wrong about that, if you master Eu+ you only need minor practice to master other presets or maps.

You pretty much have to play duels and cws to become the best in the game. And the best in the game can pretty much hop in most maps or scenarios and be dominate still after a few games because they have mastered the core mechanics already. I limited the scope because the scope defines the objective. Dueling and CWing is a somewhat objective measure, everything else is hard to measure imo. You are free to create a list of Scenario Grand Masters

I made this list to be self-preserving, so you guys should nominate people you think are good candidates. Some people I put here didn't technically make the qualifications at this time but they are currently active and have more than met the qualifications previously. I didn't include inactives so as to not start a flame war, if you're inactive and want on this list, you have to be nominated. Even though this is currently an "active only" list, you cannot have a title removed so you can go inactive and you will still retain it when you return. Please feel free to talk about my bad decisions or anything else here

I think last year (might be 2 or 3 years actually) ago there was a halloween specific atwar theme durin halloween weekend which was pretty fire if i dare say so. Since we have same AW theme for most of the year I appreciated sth different to spice things up a little. This year we didnt had any special theme i think.

Don´t @ me !

You're right, I was thinking about doing the music again but then I thought nah, people will get tired of it if I do the same thing twice in a row. Maybe I should have done it anyway.

Anyway thanks for the comment, I didn't know anybody had noticed the music last year. I'll do it next time.

This is now fixed.

Although as Khauman correctly points out, there are tons of other inspect element possibilities around here.... I'll be fixing them for years to come

There already is one, it's called off topic

Okay that's it folks, hope you enjoyed our 2021 Halloween weekend. See you at the next event!

You're comparing apples to oranges with that murder statistic, it's mostly illegal to own a gun in Indonesia whereas it makes up ~70% of the murders here. That is a statistic we need to swallow as a nation because I don't think either side wants to get rid of guns, the left (and a lot of the right) just wants to restrict certain weapons and increase/change background checks. There are a lot of other factors when it comes to murder rates we aren't accounting for either in there (homogeneous population, gang affiliation, culture).

The homeless thing is certainly an issue, but it's not like it's the only thing you see when you go into a major city. You're kind of setting the stage like it's only homeless people in camps and not much else. I can't speak for LA or NYC (only visited both) too much but San Diego is beautiful and I love living here. The homeless camp here isn't too far from where I live and where i work out is in the middle of it. I usually just bring some dog treats and toss them out so they don't bother me or my car while i get a pump. I grew up in a small town and it also has a homeless "tent city" albeit much smaller. It's much easier to find a job and a place to stay when rent isn't $1600 for a shitty apartment. But that's the price I pay to live in place that's full of life, tons of activities, and other benefits.

I'll reserve.

I've talked about nearly the same scenario with Dave, as long as it's not being abused by everyone it doesn't really matter. He didn't seem concerned about this so neither am I.

I hope this answers your question!

From my own experience, having been to many places in the U.S., and to at least 1 legit 3rd-world country (Indonesia), I think the answer is "it depends". In general, many of the big U.S. cities ARE shitholes, especially along the west and east coasts. Many areas of Los Angeles and San Francisco are just like 3rd-world countries now -- with all the crime, homeless encampments, tons of trash lining the streets, human waste on the sidewalks, etc. However the vast interior of the country -- smaller towns and more rural places -- are still very nice. So it depends where you are.

Here's a fun factoid:

In Indonesia, the murder rate is 0.43 per 100K population. (Stats for 2017, source)
In Jakarta itself, the murder rate is approx. 0.61 per 100K population. (From 2016 -- I had a hard time finding this stat, but I extrapolated it from an article here)

In Chicago, the murder rate is 20.7 per 100K population (2018 -- source)

So by my rough math, you're about 33 times more likely to be killed in Chicago, than in Jakarta.
