you responded and explained nothing!

Originally posted by mghrn55how did you do in your game against an opponent with a rating of half yours?
I responded to the original post.
Maybe you didn't notice ?
You still haven't told us how you did in your clan games against 1100 rated
opponents in Anti-Metallica ? 😀
did you ever question your pathetic leader for arranging such a lopsided match in your favor?
I don't think so
you did what he wanted
no class
no honor
you probably could barely hold your water when that challenge came your way

You explaining your clan games against 1100 rated players is more relevant to the topic of this thread.
While you're at it, you can also explain how several of your other highly rated clan mates (1700 and up)
got assigned to 1000-1100 opponents in clan match-ups.
Assigned by you, the clan leader, I might add !!
The onus to explain is on you !!

Q: What makes the odds go in favor of Metallica to such a high degree?
A: "Our record ?? Yeah, we win more than we lose !! Isn't that the goal of every clan ??"
This doesn't even come close to answering my question.
Actual answers include:
-Statistical anomaly/sheer luck
-Sandbagging
-Players have improved their game over they last few months.
-Collusion
Originally posted by Very Rustyreally which FACTs have I rejected? your friend was asked to explain the disproportionate number of wins in favour of Metallica, something like a 60-70% disparity and failed to explain anything but slobbered and drooled about irrelevances. So here is your chance to explain, who knows you may do better, you could hardly do any worse Crusty old friend.

Your record with your clan Easy Riders - 52W 9L 14D
But you can always offer a defense for this statistic.
You didn't always play against equally rated players.
In fact, why don't you put me in my place here !!
Remove the games against opponents from Anti-Metallica, Breaking Bad and Arrow clans.
And get back to us all with a revised set of numbers.
We await your response !!

If it isn't the answer you want, that is another story.
Asking any person to explain why they or a clan have a 29-12 record,
they might just answer that they wish it was 33-8.
That is what clans or players with winning attitudes will say !!
I have heard from the whiners that clans should strive to have an equal
numbers of wins and losses.
That would represent a measure of integrity. Or nonsense like that.
Why bother having competition with a mindset like that.
A Scotsman like Robbie might like to have Glasgow Celtic hauled
before a tribunal to explain their 21 win 3 loss record so far this year.
I have said as far back as a couple of years ago that the skillset of clan play is not just the skill of the players.
But also skills of a clan leader.
I have said that the clan system is loose and informal.
This will only serve to enhance the skills of a good clan leader who can recognize when his player can defeat a potential opponent.
A good clan leader does his homework. He/she will look at his players' overall record against a potential opponent.
Accordingly, one clan leader may outwit another clan leader when negotiating a challenge.
That is the essence of clan play !! How leaders outplay each other
at the negotiating table of the clan challenge.
Collusion goes beyond the normal acceptable behaviour expected
in clan challenges.
While there is no specific rule that can label this as illegal, there can
be a remedy to deal with this kind of behaviour.
A precedent was set last year for this kind of behaviour when 2 clans were suspended.
We are still working towards punitive measure to be taken against
the clans involved in the current fiasco.
