This is why you never win Ladle, noob. Get it together.

Re: Master Servers is there any chance the max servers per ip could be increased ?

I'm going to say something controversial, but I would prefer to not see more love uk servers on the master list. In fact, I wish you would rename them so the first 34 entries on the server browser were not all your brand. I would go even one step further and suggest you have your own subculture for ...

Re: Ladle 130 - October 3rd

I persuaded a few Ladle Enthusiasts to form a discussion group and we tried to sort out a few problems with Ladle procedures. The group brought the following topics to a vote on Discord in a poll that lasted from October 31st to November 6th and was open to all players, not just Team Leaders: Forfei...

Re: Ladle 130 - October 3rd

...I am sure this can be looked at by deli/sine and whoever else ends up assisting with deciding on the rules. Delinquent and I are spearheading an initiative to solve these problems before next Ladle and we look forward to your input. I think your post just touches the surface of issues we've been...

Re: Armagetronart

I made a music video using Armagetron. All the textures and environments are custom, but you might recognize the first half of the video is from my server "Adventures of TRON: Advanced Racing." Scenes were captured in OBS Studio and arranged in Shotcut. The song is a variation of "Lad...

Fortress: Launcher Analysis (The Double-Grind)

Intro I wanted to take a look at the "launcher" in Fortress. Launchers are areas where players get a speed bonus for driving in-between two trails and are usually self-created. Traditionally, we refer to this as the opening double-grind that positions 2 and 3 perform. It's always suggeste...

Re: On Perceived Strength of Defense

Thanks for the great read. Your articles are always full of insight and humility. This type of analysis helps reinforce the idea that competition is a mental game as much skill (regarding timing and decision-making). One topic I don't think has been explored in depth is what "pacing" means...

Re: On Perceived Strength of Defense

Thanks for reading my article. The purpose was to Illustrate that defensive strategies are not purely about effectiveness, but also how they are perceived, which is an important factor. In 2021 it's basically assumed that you're putting really great players in sweep since 1) it's probably the most i...

On Perceived Strength of Defense

Defense in 2021 is all about good sweeping. Actually, it's always been this way, but now it's much more obvious. Sweepers are the first line of defense and the longer they hold off an attack the more time your offense has to break the enemy zone. But there is another component to the strength of a d...

Nice. Production reminds me of Arcade Fire. Thanks to YT, her stuff will show up in the sidebar now so I'll check out more later.

I haven't been listening to much lately, though my friend wanted me to listen to The Shins with her the other day.

Fortress: How to Zone Save

Because some people struggle with this (and I sometimes forget), I decided to illustrate the ideal way to save a zone from an imminent, end of round 3v1 hole attempt against your defense. "Grind your trail to the outside into a corner. The explosion should remove any leading trails and the seal...

Re: My Animation Project

That's ****** sweet dude, What program are you using for it? I've always wanted to learn animation but I can't really ever find a good program I used Krita. It has a lot of limitations, but gives you the instant gratification of being extremely easy to use. Anyone can do simple animations in minute...

Optimal TST Opening Moves?

I'm new to TST and now that I have a basic understanding of how to play I wonder about what the optimal opening moves are. There doesn't seem to be many, and it appears that two things are critically important: 1) Coordination with your teammate, and 2) Correctly predicting how your opponents will s...
