At the request of literally no one, I took it upon myself as the FML Webmaster to make some site changes and add some new features!! Woohoo!!!
First thing I have done is some routine maintenance that I don't do routinely. This may or may not speed up the site. I also updated the forum up to the newest version of SMF. Afterwards I learned that these updates broke the site. So I rolled them all back! Who needs updates anyway?
The New Features though! Thats really what this post is about. So, The following features are new. Feel free to play around with them and annoy fellow FML members with them:
1. Mentions! By using the @ symbol and typing in a member name you can summon them to the post. The Summoned member will get a notification on the top bar of the site when they log in next. ex. @FML|WorpeX
2. Post Likes! You can now like posts that you like. This feature is only available in the forum and not the homepage. Dislikes will be available in the year 2020.
3. Default Avatars! To force more people to use avatars and make posts stand out better, I have made everyone without one have an ugly default one. Your welcome!
I highly doubt this game is going to be without subs but if it everyone shows up... Poor junker. OAL is super patient hoarder, ena has no idea how to ffa and weakud suicides anyone who touches his peasant (although junker himself is good in manips he can deal with those guys, but sometimes he rages when pissed)
M30 Zs.SuperCumulo Mog[skynet] Nline Nightelf
So position based, Nightelf can solo out anyone at early stage, nline can win any fight at late stage, cumulo - no idea, sometimes he outmanips himself like at deathrose game or monsoon when he played as sub. Mog is most stable here, if map is big enough he can solo nline or rebuild vs rest.
M31 Pinballmap Fetta_ook Rain AjikaIII
If AJIKAIII does perfect gyro/gryph rush on Rain he can win his solo but best scenario for him is to avoid fighting Rain and wait untill Fetta pisses Rain off with his chat.
M32 aarnikratti ashalar XoZ_Magadansky Renaud
Renaud will either win his solo vs aarni/ashalar slower than Maga either dies to Maga having no wood and chat too late. Maga should take it, but who knows.
M33 Eshan KENT2566 svedirko Dinamo
I see people understimate svedirko but he is former finalist with big experience in hoarding/maniping, he didnt survive till 3 way yet but if he does i see him winning cuz dinamo/kent know Eshan's capabilities so much better then svedirko capabilities
M34 letshavesomefun DV- QQs Redkeekee
This is incredible map/pos based. I half hate/half love the cast, im not sure about RKK yet but he seems a good of a fighter when QQs is rly good at doing Mannequin Challenge with his units at his main. I hope shave picks orc so we can team him in 3 way (im not sure i survive till then)
M35 Wrecktify NoMercy2 Gradient qwest
If people stop giving freewins to Nomercy it would be great. Looking at cast it could happen again. All my hopes here are related to Gradient, i dont see good game happens here without his significant involvement. I really hope qwest wins.
M36 b100death Tleilaxu Persuade Ostone
It seems persuade dont want to pick any other race except orc. If laxu survives long enough it might be good for him to face 3 orcs since they might go a lot of taurens. (I dont see him rushing out any of these orcs since they are good soloers). Btw ostone might play ud so this game is actually unpredictable. Therefore obvious pick here.
M37 Ponty SteppinRazor Airenikus mrSweets
If ponty wont win this he should retire. Seriously. Perfect cast for him to win. Although i like airenikus progress.
M38 GEASS j33. Leader Slythe
I dislike GEASS and Slythe playstyles. I hope j33 wins but he should turn on his patience machine on atleast 90%.
M39 noexxx SecondBreathe foxfart66109 Jaody21
I feel like we will see some rly funny stuff here. American guy has no idea about how strong noexxx is so he is the key to 3rd victory for human. Otherwise russians may team noexxx out which he deserved already ffs team him noobs.
M40 Red7z7 zTsoso TheTrumanShow AlienWareOwnZ
Good cast. Alien and soso had too many games together so i dont see them NOT tunnelvision on each other. I go with orc here, he rly deserves one win for his performance round 1.

hmm..... what a fucking match. the most stacked match this season yet. it's gonna be hard for god wrecktify (definitely the most entertaining player to watch for me personally) on small maps having to deal with a smart orc and two excellent human players with awesome micro and decision making in the likes of GEASS and the peruvian incan-god-resembling sexy hunk SuperCumulo. Still though GEASS the german war machine has always been my pick, guy can play, so i gotta go with him.
M43 Mog[skynet] QQs AlienWareOwnZ Jaody21
What a great match. think it would be a close 3-way between mog, jaody21 and Alien- . still my money is on the undead brotha.
M44 Pinballmap SecondBreathe zTsoso Slythe
Sly is crazy with the hero combos and you gotta love that. But zTsoso's play is just god damn impressive in my eyes.
M45 Eshan TheTrumanShow j33. AJIKAIII
Eshan is smart, resilient and flexible. Although alkash and thetrumanshow are great players i think in the end it would boil down to eshan vs j33. and eshan would win because maps are smaller. On the other hand thetrumanshow might have a chance if he stacks 5 or 6 mantles of intelligence on his blademaster.
M46 Dinamo Persuade XoZ_Magadansky noexxx
Ah can't help it but root for a fellow countrymen and an undead brotha. But then again it's a pretty good bet. On another note though - It's Dinamo's time to shine. It will be hard versus the american teamers from bulgaria, switzerland and usa. But remember this If you had, one shot, or one opportunity? To seize everything you ever wanted. In one moment. Would you capture it, or just let it slip? I want you to go mom's spaghetti on these motherfuckers and make the most interesting match of the century.
M47 WeAkUD Red7z7 qwest WorpeX
my heart wants red to win but my money on this one is on qwest who is still an undead brotha so it's great.
M48 b100death SteppinRazor Renaud Junkerzam
Looking forward to this game, excellent players all around.. Still my money is on b100death. He has an aggressive creep pattern and can hexastomp your mother till you get a sibling.
M49 Tleilaxu DV- NoMercy2 svedirko
hmm, svedirko is one hell of a motherfucker and if he wasn't facing DV- i would put my money on him. the other two don't excite me very much.probably nomercy will hoard until there is no gold or wood left on the map while crying "help" and tlailaxi will be cyber-fucking everybody's mother and wishing cancer to all of us. Because you know.. That's how this internet bad boy rolls.

Fetta dominate again? XD

Re: TBR Thursday Week 1 Result
Give him a break he's never played any fml or competitive ffa games ever before so how could he know. If I were there obviously I would have told him not to pick one of those colors. Maybe instead of being an asshole to newer players you could try to be a little inclusive so people aren't immediately turned off. Our little community benefits from new players giving ffa a shot, whether they are apart of "your team" or not.

Re: M6 Result
The game which is mostly about manipulation and deceiving becomes more and more bureaucratic. Rules are rules and there definitely should be rules applied, but prohibition of match related discussions during a pause seems to be rather artificially imposed.
Soon the pausing itself might be banned and all participants will have to play near toilet/refrigerator/phone/entrance door/etc. underline the most important option for you :)

Re: Expel players from FML
I watched the vod/rep and It's not preteaming, but it's very 'friendly play' tbh. Dinamo just played stupidly in an attempt to help his friend Jaod imo. Jaod is not to blame here I think, he played an overall normal standard game, even hitting Dinamo at some points only to be hit from behind by Renaud at the shop around the 35min mark, so he decided to focus on Renaud for that move by Reno.
Dinamo random top right corner scout late in the game and some other moves was laughable though.
Verdict - No 'preteam', but Dinamo just play stupidly and in a friendly manner and avoided confrontation with him allowing Jaod to have an easy standard win. And actually his attempt to not team with renaud and fight jaod was pretty pathetic, just sitting around doing nothing most of the game and letting renaud die...
It's like putting 4 people together in a street fight and 2 of them are friends with each other, but they all must fight for the win, the 2 who are friends are obviously going to be more inclined to be 'friendly' with each other and try hurt the others first so they get their final 1v1 at the end.
It's a big grey area though and admins should come to a decision, I watched Wrecktify's VOD and I agreed with most of his insights.
