  1. Mise au point !

    in Global Announcements

    Posted

    My French is kind of bad, but I'm going to try to give this to you in my (admittedly Americanized) own translation. Please tell me if this misrepresents you Pearate.

    I'm posting in French because my English isn't good enough to elaborate. If anyone can translate, that'd be helpful.

    I'm having trouble understanding some players and why they're attacking me. I don't know where they're coming from. [i think?]

    Is it that I'm a bad player? I don't play fairly? I don't play by the rules? Or maybe it's because I'm Euro? What's the problem?

    For me, I love this game and I don't see why this forum has so many issues.

    I've played in several leagues for several years, and I have always played games on time, always fairly. I've realized that some players play the regular season but disappear for the playoffs, the best part of the season. I always play my playoff games as soon as possible, while some players repeatedly wait 2, 3, 4 weeks to even play the first round. It's even more annoying after 3 or 4 weeks, when there's only one game played [i'm not sure on this..]

    When these guys return, I should suddenly be ready to go because there's an "emergency" and other players are waiting to start the next season of GDL.

    I told you I was sick for a week and just waiting to play the series when I feel better. You guys criticize me and treat me like a jerk because I want to play when I can actually play my best. It's bullshit. Who's going to play with a fever or a headache? No one likes winning by forfeit.

    This wouldn't even come up if there were consequences for missing deadlines... more than 4 weeks for the first round of playoffs!?

    I also notice that some players get a pass, which is really strange and not really respectful of other players. Why have rules if you don't always enforce them?

    For the rest, I think you misinterpret my comments. They're always meant to be positive.

    I have nothing against anyone except some of them act like college students. This game is for fun, not to get too serious and act like jerks.

    I'd like to point out that I'm a European player, and I see the game as a European.

    Even though Hockey was born in Canada and the Canucks and Americans are among the best players. that doesn't mean their type of hockey is the most fun.

    An example of something that comes up against me: 3 or 4 years ago when I started, I criticized the fact that some players like TK check after the whistle, even though he was up by 5 or 6 goals.

    Maybe it's my understanding of sportsmanship but it wasn't my thing, so I brought it up.

    The result? He bites my head off and is allowed to talk s**t about me even though he's not in the same leagues as me.

    When I brought up checks after the whistle with other players, there was no unanimous opinion. A good chunk agreed with me, though.

    But then you have a number of players here who think their idea of fun is the only way, pressuring others to play the same way.

    Result: the same group of players in leagues, with rookies being hazed, only letting the same type of players stick around.

    The craziest thing is that I've left all of that in the past and adapted to their style of play. But 3 years later, the same guy give me s**t every chance they get. What's your problem TK?

    Please explain.

    Same for ProBob, what's your problem? You lost to me one day and it made you not like me?

    Brutus also talks s**t and I don't even know him. I only played one or two matches against him, but maybe he'll explain.

    This is bullshit. This forum and the site are meant to be an area for ALL players of 94 and not just a few pseudo-elite players who are allowed to trash everyone else.

    What's most unforunate is that there are fewer and fewer new players, and those who do sign up don't stick around for the most part. Especially if they're insulted when they make a few comments to make the game and community better for everyone.

    So I ask the admins:
    Do you really think this site is for ALL 94 players? And how do you explain that some players insult others with impunity?

    I have to say that I kind of agree with him in a lot of respects. This site is cliquey as hell and the same few players play in the same leagues all the time. Even as someone who has been around the site (although not really "active" in commenting) for years, I still feel like an outsider. Hell, I even built a whole site to try to expand the community out from leagues and I've gotten pretty poor response to that. A couple people were really positive, while it was largely ignored. It's fine, I don't care that much, but it's really hard to imagine the site/community growing with the current attitude that's prevalent among active members.

    As far as the checking after the whistle-- I don't think it's a big deal, really. I try to dislodge the net after goals personally, but I don't care if people kill my players. If someone asked me not to do it, I wouldn't get pissed at them for it. Such a weird thing to get mad about (on both sides).

    If he feels like he's being attacked, that's really shitty. I remember playing him before and he was nice to me. I think the language barrier might be a little difficult for all involved, especially when he's trying to ask people why they do something or tell them he doesn't like when they do another.

    @Pearate - I can only really (barely) read some French, so I can't really form coherent sentences. Hopefully you understand me.

    It shows all stats from games you've uploaded. So if you've uploaded ONLY SCL games, your stats will reflect that. If a couple people upload exhibitions, they will pollute your data a little bit. To be honest, no one really uses the site, so I don't think you will have any issues with that.

    Go for it! At this point, I don't have brackets available, but something I've thought of adding is the ability to create a 4, 8, or 16 person tournament bracket creator. For now, you'll have to track the bracket placements yourself, but you can upload games and link to them

    All data from seahag is also on http://nhl94hockey.com -- if you're looking for archived stats from last year and such, they're still saved in the database, but not shown publicly at this point. I'm adding some other features and stats, cleaning some things up, before I add the old games in somewhere. Due to the gigantic number of games played (mostly between keroshin and me), I felt like it would be better to save them and start a season 2 of sorts.

    If you made an account on seahag, it still exists. All of your data is backed up.

    I'm thinking of changing the URL from sea-hag.net to something more hockey related. I'll keep you guys posted. Aside from that, I've added a bunch more stats to team pages, home vs away stats, and such. Even if you don't want to upload on the site, I'd appreciate some feedback on it. Check out my user page at http://nhl94hockey.com/user/crescentfresh , click on the colored bar of which teams I've played to get my stats for a given team only. Or click a team logo to see their stats as played by everyone. Also check out the updated box scores with crowd meter and shots.

    I've been gradually modifying the look of the site over time, so any feedback on that sort of thing would be welcome as well.

    I see lots of views on the forum, but no comments and no game uploads. Kind of disappointing to be honest, but there is always time to change that!

    Thanks in advance, even if you don't want to upload.

    Just so you sillies know, I archived the stats from the start until last week. I haven't made them available for viewing at this point, but the data is alllll there waiting. Not that many of you use the site, but yeah.


    I just added shots averages as well as crowd meter (SNES only at this point), which was not there before. Slightly updated layout.

    I have some plans to work more on it adding PIM averages as well.

    I know you guys are league players rather than exhibition players, but I still welcome anyone who wants to come upload stats!

  17. SNES Random Teams Tourney

    in Global Announcements

    Posted

    I'm leaving the deadline at the 31st, but so far only 2 people (including me..) have signed up.

    Remember this is a tourney and not a huge, months-long event. If you want a quick fix against folks, sign up! If we can't get at least 8 people signed up (that is, 6 more), I'm just going to assume there is no interest at all and drop it.

  19. SNES Random Teams Tourney

    Posted · Edited by marchawg

    I've been wanting to do this for a while, and since there is no classic coming up, I figured I'd throw a sign up form out there and see if anyone wants to do it.

    TOURNAMENT RULES

    SNES-ONLY (sorry gens-ers, start your own!)

    Single-elimination

    Top seed gets home ice advantage

    First through Semi-final rounds will be Best of 3. (@top, @bottom, @top)

    Finals will be Best of 5 (@top, @top, @bottom, @bottom, @top)

    Games are recorded on sea-hag.net (winner uploads, loser confirms. This is important!)

    Update shared tourney spreadsheet with winner/game result link

    SEEDING

    Random for each round

    TEAM

    Random for each round (at least you don't get stuck with Anaheim for the entire tourney!)

    SIGN UP

    My hope is to get at least 8 of us for it and knock it out over a weekend or two. This all depends on how many sign-ups we get (if any).

  20. What if there is no spring classic?

    in Global Announcements

    I'm cool with you not wanting to play online, and if I'm ever in your region, maybe I'll send you a message.

    For me, online gaming is my only option. My friends don't live nearby, we've all moved from our native towns. The closest friend I have now is about a 2 hour car ride, but it's easier for us to go online and play. We also don't have any of the he-said she-said BS because we've known each other forever. I also don't have room for old systems to lay around, so it's easier for me to load it up on Zsnes.

    I get where you're coming from with playing strangers, though. It's tough to know when to catch people, or know what you can/cannot say to them to set them off, or know if they're a stand up person, a good sport, whatever. I mean, there's a reason that almost all of my games have been against Kero5hin.

    The desyncs definitely happen on gens. Even with a reliable player, I've had it in probably 20% of our gens games. It has happened maybe once in Zsnes.

    I think the scheduling is the worst part of the leagues. Some people are on all the time, but the vast majority have real world obligations that they can't be away from and you have to schedule around. It's tough. I think that's why I like the exhibs more, even though I always end up playing just one guy (kero5hin).
