win threads

snakebite · 07-25-2008, 02:02 PM

I am trying to understand how people think about win threads because I think i might stop posting in mine.

Reason why:

1) It seems most (not all) people only care about the Post Count when they make a reply, and type things like:

Quote:

2) I made my win thread when i was was a unknown grey player, and I found it awsome when I won a game vs a 1400+, but nowadays I can take almost every 1400+ grey who does use his drops while i use dropless ( no not everyone ofcourse but there are allot) , same goes for when I use drops vs them. So the 1400+ are not that much of a challenge anymore.

So what do you guys think about the use of a win thread, have you got one for yourself, and if yes what is the purpose of your thread?

those are more of a +1 post count thing for unless youv actualy beat some EXTREMELY good and well known player and/or if you have a nice battle report. No one ever replies in my win thread which is why i stopped posting there but i think it let some people know im not too bad right? by the way your win thread is good so you dont need to worry about not continueing it unless you want to.

People generally do care about your wins thread if your an extremely talented player like yourself. Some people do care about the wins you have so keep posting them!

When I beat someone of great potential on Legends Forums or just great potential in the game, I ask if I can put the win on my win thread. I will take any off if they want it taken off. My win thread is just basically showing how much I have improved I guess. It's not for glory or showing off. Just because it feels pretty good when your're a noob and beat someone of better talent.

Hey that's my sentence xP

i used to feel the same way.

my wins thread is not only for wins. i also post draws and losses in it too.

why? because you can still lose a game and have it be epic/fun. i post games like that to remember them. sure, some of my best games are only against high 1200's, but they were great all the same.

play and post for the fun of it.

Post count seems to be the only reason people reply:
Nice wins keep it up.;Or like Extinction "Nice wins( even though i was too lazy to think." <-------------Maybe thats why he's in red now

Wins threads are pretty pointless.
