I agree with eldorado that it would be nice to have these player stats with maximum rating reached -- although it is definitely more interesting in StreetSoccer than in any of the other games due to the high number of players and matches played. In other games it is less significant.
And antkam, I believe the next milestone of the top ten being over 2000 will be earlier, probably as early as the end of this year.
experience shows that over 2000 a regular 5-0 win brings only 1-5 points while a 4-1 victory brings or takes 1 point depending on the opponent's ranking. a tie or a loss results in a serious drop in the rankings, just watch the freefall.
This looks like a monologue, a personalized forum topic now. But otherwise bloke deserves the credit -- I had my lucky run myself when I reached 1905. You can't help against a lucky run -- but why would you?
Especially You shouldn't say anything. Why? I will tell You why.
I analized your games with bloke. First strange is that you can play faster with him than me but this is ok I can understand that you can prefer play with him first. Second and this I'm wondering specially. Your moves in games with bloke were really strange and suspicious. I don't know if they were your mistakes or intended. I can't tell that but one is sure, you really can play better.
I wanna believe you were playing drunk or sth but even really weak players doesn't make such horrible faults playing. You are very good and experienced player and I don't remember situation when you didn't score if you had opportunity to do it or let me score in such easy way.
So maybe first explain me this, and then tell about lucky run of bloke.
As I said, I had my lucky run - it was against neptun who won 7-6 in our 13 matches but I earned more points. We played online and pretty fast, the games were over in 10 minutes. I had a similar batch of rapid games against bloke and this time I was on the losing side - he did not even win too much points against me. You were not online at that time, so that is why I did not play my matches against you. But I do not think there is much to explain, if you play rapid games you make more mistakes. In rapid games you might seem weaker. Shit happens.
Nevertheless, I checked some of the moves you picked meticulously. Honestly, I do not see any of those as causing a fatal change in the flow of the game. In certain cases, especially when I rolled ones, it was basically meaningless to decide were to move - the next kick was a certain goal. No impact factor at all.
So I believe you have overreacted something that is insignificant really.
hahahahaha what a cheater :) For me Malaj, Bloke, Firenze and other Butan flag nicks are the same person who makes games between them to rise ratings(especially Bloke now). Weak player who has 2000 rating, lol :D
Whatever you think. I could just as well say that all Poles are the same person and they help each other to reach 2000 one after the other. Saw and sawek are both in the first division playing against each other "a suspicious game" by Looser's standards. I could also say that To_Nie_On, mojito, FC Szczebrzeszynianka, Looser, and you are the same person - prove the opposite.
But what is the point? Jumping up and down screaming that the other player is "weak"? This is boring for me, sorry.
You said that you don't see anything wrong in those moves which I mentioned? Really? Maybe we looked at different games. Look at them once more especially at the moves which are bold.
Game 714382 - move 43 - you didn't score but you have enough eyes to do it.
Game 696270 - move 38 and 48 - you let bloke score twice despite you could easly block
Game 701902 - move 47 - you could score but you didn't
Game 730088 - move 5 - again! you could score but you didn't
Game 721494 - move 13 - you could block but you didn't
Sorry, one time it could happen but you didn't score 3 times in 3 different matches in short term!! (As I remember I miss the occasion to score 1 time in my whole carrier in over 5000 matches). And you said it's okey? I don't know if you are bloke or not. But surely you let him reach the barrier 2000.
BTW You didn't mentioned blablabla, czarek, gromplpedro, Krzysztof, anwi, Luriusz, Adam Malysz etc...
come on, in the span between 1961 and 2013 i had four victories against neptun and three against FC Malaj (and one each against matjazo, jose.ibiza, perugia etc.). they both played online and both lost in rapid games. would you also challenge neptun and the others for the same "suspicious" play?
I said I checked some of them but did not find anything fatally wrong with those moves I saw. But I am willing to admit that I made mistakes in these five you mentioned - except for Game 721494 - move 13 where it does not matter if I move to d2 or d4.
It doesn't matter with whom you played or with whom you won. Did you look at those games though? Those moves which I pointed. You really see anything? Hey guys, am I stupid or sth? Look at those bold moves again and tell me why FC Malaj didn't score 3 times (714382, 701902, 730088) and didn't block you (696270, 721494) This is 5 matches, not
couple years ago i proposed a rule that only those players will be an "official" member of the +1800 or +1900 etc. clubs who have reached that level three times without dropping 150 points below the +1800 or +1900 plateau in between (that is, to 1650 or 1750).
so if someone reaches 2022 points does not qualify him/her an "official" member in the +2000 club (which, by the way, does not yet have an "official" member).
but if having a series of lucky turn of events combined with a selective finishing of the running games catapults someone to a high ranking disqualifies someone from the top of the list of highest rankings (which is only an informative list, anyway) then p_a_k_o and To_Nie_On should also not boast a +2000 top result, maybe even the consensus superstar tigis should not have an official +2000 ranking, and neptun should not have a 1990 ranking, etc.
likewise, nostradamus' 1916 was also stigmatized as yet another "passenger experiment" but he could keep his ranking, unlike passenger
it seems that there are lots of examples of applying double-standards here
