Just a thought, but would it not be more beneficial to everyone if they put the standings table in order?? Not your team at the top cause this makes no sense if they clearly aren't. Hopefully by tomorrow they'll figure it out.

Under Review makes it sound like there was a glitch somewhere that was abused...

Not another one!

Maybe they've just realised that they have no actual scoring system and we're all sooo awesome at these games that they can't keep up? Yeeeeah..

How on EARTH....did Roo Island.....beat....the Darigan Citadel....AT YOOYUBALL?! We only managed to DRAW the other two games!

:O

*shrugs* oh well, but hey Darigan still has a chance.

Right ya are! Guess we just have to play more. Go Darigan!

Roo Island is quite the clique!

Alchemist, I strongly suggest attaching your mouse. I tried playing with a trackpad and couldn't score a single goal. If your graphics tablet has a button on it you MIGHT be able to play, I suppose, but it's still best to have a mouse, I think. The game is not laptop compatible at all.

I agree, playing with the labtop pad is...

Fighting words, you say? We shall settle it on game day, and with my newfound Yooyuball skills, I shall smite your beloved pirates! Take that!

And some of this!

I'm.....speechless, for once.

This is....impossible! How could this happen? It's ROO ISLAND....they wear jingle bells around their necks and they beat the Darigan Citadel?!

---

Hehe. The bells give us special powers.
No, we are just a really dedicated group.

And Alchemist, my hubby is on Maraqua too. He's anooyed they are not doing all that well. But, all you can do is to do what can. He can't play much because he works full time, be he sends in as many scores as possible.
Me on the other hand, I don't work, I'm at home with my daughter. So I can cram as many scores in, as long as I can force myself to play Yooyuball.

Are there reasons you think the Romans are idiotic other than their micmicry (I hope I used that right) of Greek mythology?

I'm balancing out my play of all 3 games. I play one game of Yooyuball, then one of Slushie Slinger, and finally the yelling game.

Oh, I love Yooyuball now! I once beat Mystery Isle 7-love! (yes, I know this isn't tennis XD)

The game is not laptop compatible at all.

Well, I'm playing it on a laptop with a trackpad and it is working fairly well for me. The only problem I have is if the mouse icon goes outside the window... When that happens you can't click to throw the ball into the goal.

Although the Darigan Yooyu ball is difficult. I still haven't worked out how it moves.

I've only played a few times as I am busy studying and doing exams... I only hope that Tyrannia manages to get out of the round robin so I can truly dedicate time into playing it after my exams have finished.

Curse you, Nynaeve! We will have our revenge!

Well, if you want to get technical, this was OUR revenge from losing to you last year and not making it into the finals. So there.

And, I have a laptop. But, we have a wireless mouse, works perfectly.

Summer, is your trackpad set to click when you tap? That might be the trick--I always use the button which means I need both hands in the trackpad area to move the ball and shoot, which makes hitting the shift key much more difficult.

(If it's not set to click when you tap, then I'm baffled as to how you can do it...do you have a third hand anywhere? )

---

No third hand and I hate having the click-tap turned on.
I use one hand to move and shoot using the trackpad and the other one sits over the shift key to move the players back into position if they lose the ball. That's it. Although my trackpad is set fairly fast so that might help.

And I play 3 attack, 1 defence and have only managed to get the Darigan ball in once. Otherwise it seems to shoot off in the opposite direction to what I want.

Also, anyone have any idea when your rank updates? O_o

---

Also wondering

Quote:

Probably at the end of each round (being the round-robin, which we are in, elimination, and finals).

Quote:

---

yo there's elimination, and finals? how many more days man? i'm really not all that into this gam

---

Quote:

---

No, it seems people's shields update once a day. I lay definetly not have played as much as many other people, but I'd think that what I've done so far would be worth of a change of rank <.< ...

---

Quote:

---

I'm still a beginner as well. I feel I've played enough to have a rank change.

---

Same here. I've played enough yooyuball to keep me happy until next year and we still have (I'm guessing on this) a week of games to play. Even if I move up one rank I'd be happy. I don't consider myself a beginner anymore for this tournament since I have scored with type of yooyu except darigan .

Quote:

---

Thanks for sharing the pictures, Summer! They're lovely...how sad that I don't think I'll make it past level 5 at this rate. O_O (Though, 2-5 are cooler-looking than 6-9, IMO.)

There is a scoring theory on the boards that goes something like...

Number of YYB GAMES(not goals scored) * 1=
Number of SS games * .25=
Number of MSN games * .15=

Add those three numbers together to give you a grand total.

Then whatever rank your number falls into is what you are. Mine came out pretty close but according to the system above, I should be a rank 6 and I am a Rank 7. May just need some more tweaking

Begginner - less than 50
Rank 1 - 50-99
Rank 2 - 100-149
Rank 3 - 150-199
Rank 4 - 200-300
Rank 5 - 300-374
Rank 6 - 375-450
Rank 7 - 450-525
Rank 8 - 525-600
Rank 9 - 600-700
Rank 10 - 700-800
Rank 11 - 800 -900
Rank 12 - 900-1000
Rank 13 - 1000-1125
Rank 14 - 1125-1250
Rank 15 - 1250-1400
Rank 16 - 1400 - 1550
Rank 17 - 1550 - 1800
Rank 18 - 1800-?

Wow Fireball, nice scoring theory!

Quote:

---

Thanks for the theory, Fireball!

(So by my math, if you were only playing Yooyuball, it would take about 90 hours of playing (assuming each game took literally 3 minutes) to hit Rank 18? Is that accurate? Doesn't TNT realize it's not summer vacation for some of us...? )

i don't know how long it would take but yeah i agree. these are games you can play unlimited unlike the 3 per day regulars.
t's tnt's marketing strategy to get players to stay on their site for longer period of time = more exposure to advertisements = more revenue for tnt & co.

in fact, the featured game, the dailies, plots, wars, are all marketing strategies to get players to:
1. come onto their site everyday for dailies, etc,
2. to stay on their site longer to do the plots, wars, etc.
3. to make sure players come on at least once a month for the monthly freebies. or else they'd lose players, consumers, customers, patrons, whatever us people are to them.

of course, their strategy works very well and they continue to use it because us players are all happy with getting freebies and the idea of getting prizes for the plot/wars in the end.
no matter that the prizes are given out months after the plot has ended and another is starting
