Community Events / Tipping Group C: Icarus Sky Tourney
« on: May 29, 2013, 10:10:38 am »
Welcome to Week 2 and Group C of the Icarus Sky Tournament tipping competition. This week is going to be a little different to the last two. You will need to tip the teams that you think will make it through and get knocked out in order. For example, if you tip the Gents as 1st Qualifier and Polaris as 2nd Qualifier but on the day Polaris qualifies first, that's 0 points.
You get 1 point for each tip you get right. The points are tallied after each week. Whoever has the most points at the end of the season wins!
Tipping posts MUST be set out as follows:
1st Qualifier: [Team]
1st KO: [Team]
2nd Qualifier: [Team]
2nd KO: [Team]
[Any and all comments should be here.]
Feel free to add any information you want after the tip. If you feel like adding the score for every game, go for it!
So the teams this round are:
A: The Gentlemen
B: Polaris Company
C: The Falconeers
D: The Valiant
Tipping closes 24 hours before event starts at 4pm EST Friday.
Welcome to Hell Group. Previously we've had 2 vets and 2 unknowns kickin' it off. This week we have the Gentlemen, arguably the most experienced team in the competition and definitely within the top 3 competitive teams in GoIO. We also have Polaris Company: a lot of people have learnt the hard way not to underestimate these Russian-speaking mavericks no matter what they are flying. The rookie teams have a serious challenge this week as well as a serious barrier to overcome as not one new team have made it out of the Qualifiers yet. Although new to the competitive side of GoIO, these 2 rookie teams are definitely not green. With The Valiant headed up by Captain Magellan and The Falconeers run by Ofiach, will they be the ones to break the onslaught of the former Cogs teams?

Ofiach he was't talking about camping. Using a sniping weapon does not always equal camping. Don't attack the poor guy because he likes a different playstyle now and then.

It's nice to hear of a Squid ramming something other than a full health boat.
I swear, the amount of times Squids ram-kill themselves on me...
Another good reason to Squidram: Turn those pesky guns away.

« on: May 26, 2013, 12:14:26 pm »we need ways to kill ships and the effective methods have never been fewer than they currently are, the last thing we need is to lose one more.
I miss the pre buff Artemis.
I don't care what anyone says, they were deadly on my ships.
It'd be nice to see less gat/flack around.

Yeah but that's just numbers man. You can't attribute usability to numbers and the fact that it's not on every goldfish and galleon by default proves that it isn't as easy to use as you say it is. And why is everyone saying it's awesome at close range? It's useless once you get within that arming time.
I'm with awkm. When Lumberfish becomes meta I will start to believe it's op.

How can lumberjack be op? It does a crapload of damage but it's one of the hardest guns in the game to use. Are we really talking about an overpowered weapon here or do we just want to nerf skill?
An OP weapon was the buffed Artemis. Everyone used it. Average competent gunners could basically screw an entire ship. Almost everyone used them.
Odds are, if you're getting destroyed by the lumberjack they've just got a good gunner and you're not closing in, manoeuvring, or sniping parts well enough. No one complains that flack/gat is OP because everyone uses it to kill people effectively. Why should lumberjack get nerfed for being able to do it's job in skilled hands.

Early days yet! Unfortunately no-one tipped muse as Team 1 so the super secret tiebreaker point goes to... drumroll... no-one. Obviously. What did you think would happen?

I can't wait to see the 'goons again in future comps. They did extremely well for first timers and I hope they don't just disappear. A SA Dragoons vs Polaris Company game would be nice to see one day. We're still yet to see a rookie team beat a vet but group A's matches make me think that it could be possible. BFS vs Ghuuu?
