The Update, it fixes nothing! (AKA: why is everyone so excited about Update #16?)

Don't insert statements, opinions or assertions into what I wrote that simply aren't there - What does throwing a match or giving up have to do with any single thing I wrote? - What vague and nebulous rules that are not written in THIS tournament/game's rulebook are you referring to?

If you are going to quote me, please just focus on what I what I wrote. If winning the tournament is your goal, I advocated doing your best to win the tournament. No where in that idea is there room for "throwing a match", and no where in the suggestioin to follow a contest's published rules in order to maximize your chances of winning the contest will you find the notion of "throwing a match".

Don't trot out that old canard - It simply does not apply.

I read what you posted just as it says. This is the part I was referring to in particular:

One of such strategies would be a 6vs0 match which has been discussed clearly on this forum. It is certainly "maximizing your chances"...but just goes against the rules ingrained into us. I'm not referring to constraints of the game. They are very clear. I'm referring to the constraints we place upon ourselves. I see 6vs0 as throwing a match and thus use them synonamously.

I make the same request as you. Take my words at face value. I didn't implicate you in any form of a crime as you seem to believe. We just see things differently. Let's discuss it civilly rather then being outraged over misunderstandings.
