People losing interest in duels?

vellu · Post by **vellu** » 10 Sep 2005, 10:30

There are plenty of duels going on, but very few people seem to be voting on them. I've had several duels myself with 5 or less total votes. That doesn't say much about which car is better...

Don't know how awareness could be raised though. There already is the random duel posted on the main page. Maybe something similar on the garage page (without pictures, just a ticker perhaps)? Wait time for duel to start seems to have gotten smaller; less duels going on all together?

i don't usually challenge others i just accept them, and believe me i recieve a lot!
As of now i'm no longer active in duels coz i got pissed off when people started cheating... or lets just say do unethical things just to win.

i'm not surprise if people lost interest, somehow duels lost its credibility...

yes, but he's back now!

Post by **Morty** » 12 Sep 2005, 15:23

It was a misunderstanding, which has been cleared up. Those duels were before he was banned tho, but the only one losing on this is Calibra... And it was Calibra who challenged to the duels, not Rolly.

i've stopped duelling...i'm not a sore loser, but when u see u'rself wiped 15 to 2 in a duel when our opponent's car is pretty average, u start to loose interest...

nobody wants to duel me period, i mean i send challenges bu t no response, no one even challenges me, nobody loves me,

Tyrant · Post by **Tyrant** » 13 Sep 2005, 20:25

I think that's because your in that tuner group XTF, where all the member upvote each other. Such members I won't duel

.

Post by **Pabl0z** » 13 Sep 2005, 20:51

Yeah i usually try not to challenge people from xtf.

Tyrant · Post by **Tyrant** » 13 Sep 2005, 21:24

I always wandered why 50% of those were/are banned..

Did you both vote your own rides

My last one was a 2 - 1 loss, so ppl seem to be REALLY interested in the duels

agree with enzo.ph
and also the team voting makes me sick. I like the challenges more, that's where the real best car wins and not the name...

Tyrant · Post by **Tyrant** » 14 Sep 2005, 20:38

Yeah, also GFX are very misleading. Even I are early liking cars made on a high-tec computer then an old one. If you see a lot of chrome and nice colors, you can easily give it 1 or 2 more points! Same story with the presentations.

yeah, stig doesn't backout on anything just make sure you don't make some foolishness or else you'll suffer the consequence...

Pigbenis · Post by **Pigbenis** » 15 Sep 2005, 16:01

Even I have won a challenge against stig, then it can't be that much of a challenge

Well, since i reached #2 spot, i'm being a good pal and i am leaving the #1 spot just for enzo, i think he really deserves it more than me. So i stopped dueling, but i also lost somehow the fun of dueling, does not show anything truly, ppl cheat through other ways. Lately, duels are so few that there are more votes and less cheating coz there is not much interest really.

yes, i agree with speed on the cheating part.. Im not saying if your known thats bad and you suck.. it's just there are so much people that have bros on the site that vote for them cuz there "bros".. i feel you can have bros thats cool, makin new friends on a site, but keep it cool and vote fairly.. not just cuz one guys your boy for life!

I think a lot of ppl lost interest in duels because of the buddies cheating and pohtoshop battles that were going on.A lot of ppl cheated by sending pms to their buddies asking to vote for them in particular duels, specially when they knew they wouldn`t win.

others,relied just on their photoshops skills.In orders to get more point,in sr and duels,they made fancy pres to get more points in duels from 'pres-voters' which affect opponents that made simple pres. Lot of ppl fall in lust with the beauty of the pres instead of rating the qulity of the cars,which in several cases pissed off
a lot of tuners causing them to lose interst in duels and rating others as well.
