Ishach: /* The History */

==The History==
[[Image:Cop.JPG|thumb|200px|right|<center> To Serve and Protect.</center>]]
There were days when the world was a formless ember in a sea of timeless cloud and chaos; days of holy ash and hellish light; days when the thought of Man was but a passing glimmer in the gazing eye of a capricious God and Creator.

SmuG was formed way, way, after those days. And as much as Nixa would like to believe it, he is not a God. Or a Creator. Except, perhaps, of SmuG. Which he was. Partially.

SmuG was formed on August 16, around Midnight (GMT -5:00). DragonMaster45 and Nixa were hanging out in a random lobby (clothes were on; holy crap, don't even joke about that) and Nixa mentioned that he wanted to form a clan that was skill based. Steven and Isaac of [LolSquad] had agreed; however, they also wished for a sweet name to be a requisite.

The founding group congregated like Baptists in a random passworded battle and brainstormed clan name ideas. DragonMaster45 suggested SAD (Shrimp And Lobster), only to realize his backcronym didn't fit. Steven, ever the satirist, suggested SmugG - Smug Goat. DragonMaster45 than suggested SmuG, for added brevity and visual appeal.

It went something like that, in any case. The SAD chapter is certianly true.

Nixa quickly invited ninjak and Silence into the fold, and so SmuG took the form it has today. It seeks to make a name for itself. It seeks - to have lesbainz. Groupies too! One day, perhaps. One can always dream...

==The Members==
<editor's note : Add yourself, people!>

*DragonMaster45 (Retired): Occasionally he wears the [SWS] tags when he is doing [[SWTA|Star Wars Spring]] stuff. He actively pursues females in the real world and fails miserably. Accordingly, he hopes to be a Spring Pimp so the ladies can come to him, instead of the other way around. He plans not to use mace as much.

*Nixa(Retired): <s>While considered a God amongst mortal men, he spends most of his time sleeping... His spare time involves studying for a BE ( study? what's this word :o ) while trying to annoy day as much as possible for 1v1's. In reality, Nixa is a blatent noob who will most likely be beaten by some randoms newbs in 5 minutes.
</s> Nixa will write another bio for you SmuG fans when he is not experiencing a fit of Parkinson's.
O NOES!!!!

*Isaac: Gator spam kekekekekeke ^_^#

*Steven: Sucks

*Am0kk: Wins too much >:(

==The Mission==
SmuG seeks - to - conquer - the entirety - of - the - BATHROOM. Because we smell bad, and the lesbainz don't like that very much. Unless they like kinky stuff; in which case, they're more expensive. DragonMaster45 needs to get a job, then we'll be able to afford them better.

We also seek to make a name for ourselves and glorify the name of the Smug Goat who is our namesake and founder in spirit.

Insider's Note: We tried to pet him, but he kept eating our sleeves. D{=

==The Book of Goat==
===Weeks 1-2===

And lo, the Smug Goats went out and pwned many, noob and vet alike.
But their leetness was frowned upon, and their boasting became tiresome.
A new precept was declared by the Lord Goat-Tender Nixa: DO NOT BE DICKS.
And the Goats were much more cuddly after that. Except to jerks, whom they still destroyed with expected ferocity and bleat.

===Week 3===
And the Smug Goats continued carving their facades into the great Tablet of Spring history, and many awe-inspiring victories were achieved through practice and skill. A select few of them, those most appealing to the Great Goat were such:

*The slaying of three WarCs by Dragon45 in a stacked game on DigSite;

*The slaying of two XHCs by Nixa and Dragon45 on Green Comet;

*The annihilation of three XHCs by Dragon45 in a stacked game on NightScape, using tactics so effective that he was subsequently banned from all XHC games;

*And the ultimate victory; the crushing of the legend PRO_rAndy by Nixa in a match so epic that it shall remain a powerful lesson in tactics, aggression, expansion, and surprise.

And many bleats were pleasurably bleated by the Great Bleatiest of All Bleaters, the Great Smug Goat himself, and he continued masticating shirt-sleeves.

==Bleated Wisdoms==
Contained herein are the wise words of the followers of the Goat.

How to be good at 1v1

2006-09-25T14:01:38Z

Ishach:

== Intro==
I thought i'd try and throw down in text all the thoughts in my head and how I think when playing high level games. But i'm afraid after writing this it comes out as tiny patches only scratching the surface of various areas.

Please dont take this as a comprehensive guide, as Meta-gaming is something you have to really learn yourself, as I echo a few times through this

== Opening Quote ==

''Post by Swiftspear pretty much summing up how you move from being a good player to an elite player''
<blockquote>
I'll put up any boxer who has gone through a proper training routine against any boxer who just fights with people constantly. The boxer with the training routine will always win. If you want to be the best you have to train, not just crunch hourage. You will take WAY longer to intellectualize the game if you just play and don't study it. The best player is the best player because their reflexes are honed, they know exactly what happens in every situation, and they know what their opponent knows so they can counter him. Ability to play a game at the high level breaks down into 3 areas: Mastery of the interface, mastery of the numbers, and mastery of the mind game. If your game plan for improving is "Play the game alot" you only really improve your mastery of the interface, and even then you will likely be worse at that then someone who has improved all three area's at once through proper training because you're relying on accidentally discovering the optimums rather then knowing the optimums because you have crunched the numbers and developed the theory.
</blockquote>
*<blockquote>
If you want to be the best at the game, you study replays, analyze in depth what was done right, what was done wrong, analyze where you are spending your time and what you are letting slip, then take the knowledge gained and replay and get new replays. Also test out units, see which units can shoot over DT and which can not, which units can crush which corpses and which can not, which units can get through which bottlenecks and how easily, if you know the game theoretically you don't have to make the mistakes the first time to learn from them. Finally study your opponents and learn what makes them tick. Know what an opponent is most likely to do just for statistical convenience, figure out a counter. Know your opponents strengths and weaknesses, know the counter to every counter and the counter to every counter counter in and out and know exactly what if you do you are weak to, and how you can minimalize the risk.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
Ask any great chess player how they learned to play the game, weather it was more beneficial to them to talk with other players about the strategy of the game and read over the theory books, or weather it was more beneficial to them to just play the game over and over and over, they have all done both. While it's objective, you need to play to win, that doesn't mean you will win if all you ever to is play alot. Being the best is alot of boring work as well as the fun of playing.</blockquote>

The first step to being an elite player is you have to want to be a good player, I dont mean "I wouldnt mind being a elite player", you have to be willing to learn everything it takes.

Being a top player isnt something you can be instructed on, you become an elite player when you can train yourself. Luckily, you can be taught to train yourself.

== Reading Material ==

http://www.sirlin.net/Features/feature_PlayToWinPart1.htm
Playing to win, this is the bible of playing competetively, breaking the barriers in yourself described in the article you are already double the player you were before.

'''The Art of War'''
http://www.chinapage.com/sunzi-e.html

Though I highly reccomend the whole thing, the part most pertaining to playing TA is the chapter 'Tactical Dispositions'

'' 7. The general who is skilled in defense hides in the
most secret recesses of the earth; he who is skilled in
attack flashes forth from the topmost heights of heaven.
Thus on the one hand we have ability to protect ourselves;
on the other, a victory that is complete.''

==Getting started==

First you need to watch people better than you do what you want to do, watch their tactics, their build orders, their micro.

Analyze their moves, find why they are being used instead of other ones, think of ways they could be changed to be more powerful. Assess the impacts of every move on every level.
''How much metal is this tactic costing compared to how much damage it is doing?''
''How much concentration does this need?''
''How much micromanagement?''
''How much micromanagement and concentration does it leech from the enemy?''
''Does it make the opponent act irrationally?''

I cannot teach you all the questions because being an elite player means being able to teach yourself the questions.

Being able to watch how a tactic went wrong in a replay is a thousand times easier than to predict how a tactic will go wrong when you are playing in real time.

Now you have to do the tricky part, lose alot of games. The biggest way to stall in climbing the mountain of being a great player is to be afraid of losing. Dont forget this, because the higher you get the worse the fear can become.

Every game you lose, find out what beat you, then work back.
20 Instigators leveled my base and destroyed my commander
*How did they slip through
*How did my opponent stop this happening to him
*How did my opponent get the metal to do this
*How did my opponent know where to strike

== Know Thy Enemy ==
Keep a profile in your head of every player, check the 'Recent games' as often as you can on the ladder site, see the outcome of the tournaments. Watch every game of every player worth watching.

Know your opponents to the point you can be half way through a game and know exactly what they are doing. Until you know what every radar blip they are sending at you is gonna be.
Every player has a style, every player weighs risk versus reward differently

Skill as a player is not only knowing your opponents, but not allowing them to know you

== Summing up in nice dot points ==

*Dont use a tactic because it is what someone better than you does, use it because you know why they use it

*Tactics have to be used with the intent of winning the game. Dont tech unless the tactical options for winning on the current tech level are exauhsted

*Hold yourself responsible. No tactic is lame. It dosent matter if your teammates are noobs. The only way to improve yourself is to find what you did wrong.

*Keep your cool. Look at everything objectively. Dont let yourself change tactics from "Seeking to win" to "Prolonging Defeat".

==The Mission==
SmuG seeks - to - conquer - the entirety - of - the - BATHROOM. Because we smell bad, and the lesbainz don't like that very much. Unless they like kinky stuff; in which case, they're more expensive. DragonMaster45 needs to get a job, then we'll be able to afford them better.

We also seek to make a name for ourselves and glorify the name of the Smug Goat who is our namesake and founder in spirit.

Insider's Note: We tried to pet him, but he kept eating our sleeves. D{=

==The Book of Goat==
===Weeks 1-2===

And lo, the Smug Goats went out and pwned many, noob and vet alike.
But their leetness was frowned upon, and their boasting became tiresome.
A new precept was declared by the Lord Goat-Tender Nixa: DO NOT BE DICKS.
And the Goats were much more cuddly after that. Except to jerks, whom they still destroyed with expected ferocity and bleat.

===Week 3===
And the Smug Goats continued carving their facades into the great Tablet of Spring history, and many awe-inspiring victories were achieved through practice and skill. A select few of them, those most appealing to the Great Goat were such:

*The slaying of three WarCs by Dragon45 in a stacked game on DigSite;

*The slaying of two XHCs by Nixa and Dragon45 on Green Comet;

*The annihilation of three XHCs by Dragon45 in a stacked game on NightScape, using tactics so effective that he was subsequently banned from all XHC games;

*And the ultimate victory; the crushing of the legend PRO_rAndy by Nixa in a match so epic that it shall remain a powerful lesson in tactics, aggression, expansion, and surprise.

And many bleats were pleasurably bleated by the Great Bleatiest of All Bleaters, the Great Smug Goat himself, and he continued masticating shirt-sleeves.

==Bleated Wisdoms==
Contained herein are the wise words of the followers of the Goat.

==The History==
[[Image:Cop.JPG|thumb|200px|right|<center> To Serve and Protect.</center>]]
There were days when the world was a formless ember in a sea of timeless cloud and chaos; days of holy ash and hellish light; days when the thought of Man was but a passing glimmer in the gazing eye of a capricious God and Creator.

SmuG was formed way, way, after those days. And as much as Nixa would like to believe it, he is not a God. Or a Creator. Except, perhaps, of SmuG. Which he was. Partially.

SmuG was formed on August 16, around Midnight (GMT -5:00). DragonMaster45 and Nixa were hanging out in a random lobby (clothes were on; holy crap, don't even joke about that) and Nixa mentioned that he wanted to form a clan that was skill based. Steven and Isaac of [LolSquad] had agreed; however, they also wished for a sweet name to be a requisite.
[[Image:Dinosafpic.jpg|thumb|200px|left|<center> Never forget.</center>]]
The founding group congregated like Baptists in a random passworded battle and brainstormed clan name ideas. DragonMaster45 suggested SAD (Shrimp And Lobster), only to realize his backcronym didn't fit. Steven, ever the satirist, suggested SmugG - Smug Goat. DragonMaster45 than suggested SmuG, for added brevity and visual appeal.

It went something like that, in any case. The SAD chapter is certianly true.

Nixa quickly invited ninjak and Silence into the fold, and so SmuG took the form it has today. It seeks to make a name for itself. It seeks - to have lesbainz. Groupies too! One day, perhaps. One can always dream...

*DragonMaster45 (Retired): Occasionally he wears the [SWS] tags when he is doing [[SWTA|Star Wars Spring]] stuff. He actively pursues females in the real world and fails miserably. Accordingly, he hopes to be a Spring Pimp so the ladies can come to him, instead of the other way around. He plans not to use mace as much.

No Sir, no you do not own a car. But you do own something far more important - the illusion of a small shard of dignity. Congratulations.
