Yes basically Staydeetuned is the only one else I recognize.

I don't even play STs only... I'll likely play more the coming days, though as soon as I finish my university assessments.

You know there are these complaints about volume, but why aren't there more regs on cake, for instance? or Carbon? Last I checked there's basically no reg lines there, and the regs aren't super strong, either, and that's at 200, 300+ stakes.

when i tried cake i had to wait alot to find some 20$ games, no wonder why no reg want to play there mainly

I've had some epic marathon sessions there though. Depends on the time.

Is it possible to change in my HEM so my EV line doesnt show everytime i wanna take a look at my graph?

Pretty tilting stuff lol

See that box that says show luck adjusted winnings? Uncheck it. It'll stop showing luck adjusted winnings.

i d like to remove it completly aswell since i m sure it s pretty counterproductive for me to watch

faster game times isnt the only reason ST players have the edge in the leaderboard. it's probably not even the main reason.

a much larger pool of rando fish seem to seem to sit superturbos whereas, in regspeeds/turbos, as the month goes on, i'll be playing a lot of the same ppl over and over again. so it'll be a lot easier to keep gaining points at the same rate playing STs than the other formats.

lower stakes are favored for the same reason.

Yes. It's pretty ridiculous that $50 is "highest stake".

That said I only recognize 2 players on the top 10 being STs, maybe 1 or 2 more of them are, but that surely shows that there aren't that STers aren't favored that much? Not to mention a lot of the points I get are actually from turbos/regs.

Well either way it should not matter too much.

so it sounds like you may not have read what i wrote, but anyway yea we'll see if the leaderboard still looks the same way at the end of the month.

Yeah but everytime i open HEM its auto-checked again

My bad, but actually I find that I played something like 1/3-2/5 of my action rematching the same players.

Also, considering some people actually have no idea where Korea is (epic video of American thinking newzealand is south korea and australia is north korea), what % of Americans know that thailand is 100% not related taiwan, you think?

That is, if the question or words are spoken so they sound the same, if say you said something like "Have you ever considered a half-year gap-year/camping expedition/whatever to thailand? Do you think you'd be able to fit in with Taiwanese there?" to a random stranger as a survey, what % of people would say something about Taiwanese not being from Thailand?

Or am I just being racist vs Americans? Obviously not talking about the smart ones who are on 2+2 and everything, but the average education/literacy/intelligence rate in America is not the highest for developed countries you know.

Not sure if it'll always have it turned off by default but i'd assume so if you changed it in the config file. To change things in the config file, i'll link you to the EV colour change guide.

The setting you want to change is the same one: <setting name="GraphAllInEv">
but rather than change the colour settings you'll switch it from True to False.
I haven't tested this, i'd recommend saving a backup config file before you play with it.

i have seen that video too and to be fair the map was labelled wrong and he acted suprised about how big korea was :-)
much bettter was the guy claming italy was the capitol of france or the guy who claimed the opposite.

But you can find idiots everywhere if you look long enough. There is a video of a german kid, a reporter asks him if he knows the first name of george w. bush. well he doesnt
when then asked where geroge bush is from he answers: oh i dont know but not from europe since he is speaking american or english. i`d say great britain :-)

^Isn't that from TV Total? You could do it in France and ask a frenchie to place all the Departements pretty sure only a few would be able to do it. Same for Germany, Switzerland, etc.

Thanks for the help, didnt work tho.

Changed it to false, to 0, removed red and at least removed the whole line.

Maybe i have to play some games first? Dont think so but i guess i just have to live with it >p

im sure there's plenty of other countries' leaders i wouldnt recognize (and that was certainly the case when i was a kid). are american politics esp well-known in other countries?

There are stupid people everywhere, but some places are a bit worse on average, and some countries are more insular. Certainly, though, I think certain figures/countries are important enough that most people should know about. Not knowing who George Bush is, or Obama is or whatever would be a bit shameful. Not know where Australia is is pretty bad too.

That said, didn't rapper DMX on some interview, when asked his thoughts on the first black president, claim that he had no idea who Obama is and when he was told his first name was Barack he went crazy and kept saying "you s***ing me? N*****'s name's BARACK??" or something. Or maybe it was an anecdote I don't remember.

That's pretty ridiculous.

i thought so too turns out it isnt. maybe he did show it too or something.

by kid i meant 16- 20 and what i was trying to say was he literly asked him do you know geroge bushs first name! he gave him the asnwer in the question.

and i think the us president at any given time is one of the most prominent person on the planet. i am pretty sure 95 out of 100 persons randoms heret can tell you the name of the current and former president and in my oppinion.

But you are right i sure cant even name half of the worlds leaders, but i think i might be able to name pretty much all the leaders of western countrys plus a some asian and african leaders.
its just that imo the decissions and politics of the presidint of laos Lt. Gen. Choummaly Sayasone will not affect me strongly a lot of us american politics will.

I am Chinese and I can't even name the chairman. They all look the same anyway.

i'd much rather have only my EV line shown than only my actual results.

probably you don't want it shown because it shows you were lucky to win as much as you did? well, it works the other way around when you lose alot and EV shows you as a winner (my case atm ).

No, I think he means that it tilts you when you're running 65BIs below EV, so you'd rather just have the losses and assume you ran sorta bad and work on your game.

If you ran good and is above EV, there is no reason why you would NOT want to know, as it's good to make sure you don't get cocky.

you definately make a point some countrys are more insular i dont agree with he rest. Or actually i dont know about it. i think the stupid us american is just a cliché. i dont know wether it is true or not since i have never been to the us and only met a hand full of em over here.

But one thing i noticed about us americans is in general they seem to strongly believe in a direct correlation between how loud you are and how much fun you have.

are you chinese-chinese or chinese-australian or something? just curious -- i remember having a really hard time placing your accent in your vids.

What don't you agree with? Americans being more "stupid" on average? I haven't noticed that from experience, however, but statistics on literacy is pretty convincing if you compare it to other developed countries. This has to do with the education system, and anyway I don't mean stupidity merely, I meant understanding of the greater world. Europeans, for instance, will be more aware of the world beyond their own country, whereas Americans, firstly being fairly alone aside from Canada/Mexico, are more likely to never have to leave the country, as they have everything they need within their country, they have access to most things there.

A counter example in Asia for instance, if you do business or want to get a good education, you pretty much have to travel within Asia if not around the world, and on average, the middle class+ people from these countries have, imo, a better geographical understanding than others. Japanese culture is a bit more insular though, from anecdotes, but again, this is not from experience, but I think that is likely a fair assessment.

I don't believe in relying on statistics and stereotypes in everyday situations anyway. Racial profiling, for instance, may be useful for certain things, but on a personal level, there's no need to know that on average X Y Z race is more likely to be from the lower class, or be less educated in certain sectors than A B C races, and so on.

Australian-Chinese. Born Hong Kong, fled to Australia because British Rule returned to Chinese. Well not really, my parents got the passport for us in case it became an issue, but it was fine. Helps me move around too, if I want to go on holidays or to study as I am doing now.
