Hi, you seem like a nice guy.claviertekky said:
I try to be a nice guy. Sometimes I'm too sensitive though, and I feel like people are unfairly being mean to me on the internet. I have a feeling you may be kind of the same way, so...just try not to worry about it. If they were actually making fun of you then they're jerks, and not worth the time to worry about it. If they were just joking around, then it's probably worth just trying to forget about it.
If you keep bringing it up though, people will probably laugh at your posts, so choose your own poison.
Also gg people. I managed to nearly get 2 expansions tonight when people left me alone, though I suffer from my own units and defenses blocking my chokepoints so my units can't do much.

it's hilarious because you're so salty over friendies between gaffers. there's no real need to be so serious and defend every little thing, we aren't a clan dedicated to their ladder ranking.claviertekky said:
You cried foul that people were turtling too much in FFA's and winning because of it. you then defended your loss in the match in question by saying that 'atleast i was attacking' [or something to that effect], suggesting that it would be better to play it "your way" and lose then it would be to "turtle and win".
and thats why you're called salty. its silly to expect other people to share whatever internalized rules you've built up as to how people are 'meant to play'.
if other people want to turtle in an 8 player ffa, that's fine. its their game too, they're allowed to do whatever they want to have fun. be that turtling, muta harassing, 6 pool or a good ol' cannon rush. Its when you start berating other peoples play styles that you become salty.
sooooooooooooooooooo salty.
now there's too options that can lead to a good end here:
one: play up the salty nickname and throw some punches of your own.
two: don't be salty, eventually we'll find a new nickname and maybe you'll like that one.
No, i don't do drugs.
*wheeze*
okay pandapandapanda, i've had my breather.
and now you know where your nickname comes from! you'll have to ask mila for the specifics on why he calls you salty. I like you clav, but i like nicknames more. given time everyones going to get one.
there's nothing really wrong with your attitude, but people have their own attitudes and want to play the game in a way they find fun.the only thing you've done that's really irked me is this whole 'mcrae is banned from playing with gaf' stuff.

I tried playing a game with someone called Orange_Peel today, but both of us couldn't host a game. It kept saying that the latency to the player was too high. I have opened the necessary ports (6112 according to the blizzard help files) on my router running DD-WRT and disabled the windows firewall, but the game wouldn't budge. Even with my routers firewall disabled, I still was unable to host a game. Anyone have some tips in getting the game to host games? I know that it has worked for me before on the same router, but on a different computer.
Anyone having high latency problems hosting games need to access their router and set these ports:
To open router access in your address bar type:
http://192.168.1.1
http://192.168.0.0
http://192.168.0.1
Most commercial routers use one of those as default. default user name and password is admin/admin. Go to the gaming tab and open these ports: http://i39.tinypic.com/wi59mq.jpg
To find out what number you need to enter in those last three digits in windows:
Go to Start > Run...
Type: cmd <hit enter>
(You should get a black screen with a white cursor)
Type: ipconfig <hit enter>
You should see one line that says Ip Address, it'll be the same number you used to access the router settings, but with the last 3 digits as something between 100-1xx depending on how many computers you have connected to your network.

I explained it earlier in a channel although someone kept downplaying what I said.JADS said:
Tried and tested many times.
Starcraft is a very old game. It existed in a time period when everyone used 56K and had direct IP addresses.
If you run Starcraft behind a router, the game will register itself as the local IP address. This obviously is not the address that is connected to your game and causes joining game failures. To fix this, you'll need to either:
1. Don't use a router. Connect your computer directly to the modem.
2. Use a VPN. VPN will likely assign a public IP address (at most universities) for you to identify, and people can join your games. This is what I do.
3. If you still want to use a router, then adjust your port forwarding as Mila stated above although it will require some trial and error.
Milabrega said:
This works although you'll have to do one more thing:
Set a static local IP according to each MAC Address. The way you have it that if you have a client not assigned to 192.168.1.100 and wants to host a Starcraft game, it WILL NOT work.
If you the router just have it on auto, the router may assign a client a different local IP so the port forwarding will fail. You'll have to readjust every time.
Tip: Windows key R gives you the run menu.
Anyway, for people having trouble, post your router model #, and I can walk you through.
Yeah I just got it working using an Asus WL-520GU router running Tomato. Forgot about the beauty of port forwarding haha.

the port forwarding is all that needs to be done, any time i've hosted sc or wc3 games in the past on a slew of different routers, even ones guaranteed to have good upnp like tomato or dd-wrt, all kinds of versions from micro to mega, i've ALWAYS had to manually assign the ports.
one thing that works surprisingly well is to run auto-refresh, which both will tell you if your ports are set up alright and you can even try hosting legion td in war3 or something and see if anyone joins, guarantee ya someone will.

maybe it's bad detecting a maphack? like you shouldn't see that then. so it just lists when you click on others' buildings. maybe mila gave you shared sight?

Everyone starts at D, and ok B.net players tend to stay there. D- is where most casual Starcraft players settle into. D+ is where good B.net players tend to fall.
Points gained/lost depend on your rank relative to your opponent's (if you're lower and win, gain more, if you're higher and lose, lose more).
ICCup Rank (ELO)
D- (<800)
D (1000-1999)
D+ (2000-2999)
C- (3000-3999)
C (4000-4999)
C+ (5000-5999)
B- (6000-6999)
B (7000-7999)
B+ (8000-8999)
A- (9000-9999)
A (10,000-11,999)
A+ (12,000+)
Look at that, and then realize how big the skill gap is between A+ players and D players.
They reset the ladder every ~3-4 months.
