Re: Do we need special p2p-rules?

@Robchef: Yeah that would be nice but it isn t like the pitch, effect of pitch is the same for both sides, but different pings is a significant handicap.
@LIK: You should be playing 90% of your games to be sure that it is adoptable, and that it is not about talent but repetition. Many here already stated that it is not the case, it doesn t work that way. Come be my guest for a swos vacation and see;)

@LIK, I play swos both for fun and competitions, but you re probably right that I m too big of a fan of swos to play swos from USA under such conditions. Seems you d be content with playing career games against computer if you were in my shoes, that is just not me, as you already made it perfectly clear.

so with that signature you re basically saying that Mortal Kombat is just as close to the original SWOS as a match played online with 100+ Ping, basically conforming with my theories and backing up my claims.

Nice failed attempt at sarcasm right there mate

Well, you wouldn t wanna go far saying it s a failed attempt without being sure of what I m aiming with this, which is swos is swos if it is the two floppy Amiga game that you re playing but not the 4 floppy MKII;) I think swos is still swos if you don t mind a 4 frame delay, which equals to less than 0.1 seconds in a 50 fps game. And there generally are no lags in my games although my ping is high, as my connection is very stable, but that depends on my opponents too (I feel most discussers here are confusing lag and delay, may be definitions should be clarified sometime). So it really looks like the good old swos, and games also look great if sides aren t stuck in the idea of delay, you d definitely enjoy watching our games with Ali, a good example is the goal in sociopatic s signature. MKII, it would still be MKII with 4 frames, if fatalities are performable;) Like already stated by both low and high pingers of arena, since there is no resolution into this if we wanna keep it international, best is to avoid the extremes, not make it a bigger deal than it is and try to enjoy the game as much as we can, no matter what, as after all it is still a game played for fun and although we re all world class swosers, we re not professionals making money out if it and non-swosers don t care about us;) Discussions also kinda smell egoistic, people trying to answer others rather than sticking to the point and addressing the problem, don t you think?

Also I m aiming to soften the camping of sides a bit on this thing, and remind us all of the greater picture, where people around the world can play SWOS with each other (or NOT SWOS, or SOME SWOS:), where it was a dream in 1997 to play even with a friend in a close city except for in vacations;) And now the dream is to play it like we did in 1997 in the neighborhood, which hopefully will be realized with your effort on the kaillera alternatives, I sincerely appreciate your attention into that. I m also very happy to have your inputs on the discussions, I think you brought a unique insight into this forum with your viewpoint and perfect use of language, I enjoy reading your posts.

And thanks for calling me a stoicist mate, I really am;)

Wow,so you say you d give up swos so that others can play with 0.1 second better delay, that is soo emotional:) And thanks for labeling me so, you re so kind. I couldn t care less for what you think of me, as it is completely ridiculous and baseless.

And probably you re not aware yet but you just refuted your own claim of playing swos for fun, or may be you just meant you play for the fun of others. That is what I d call noble.

If I was really all , this post wouldn t appear on the 8th page of this topic, you re right, that is just YOU!

I ll need some time to apprehend the idea that not playing swos online can be more fun if you can t play it like offline...
