The Cubing Thread

.

such games should happen in the Mish Mash forum, of course.

Haha I believe you. I didn't question it for a second. Why would I?

I used to know it with exception of like the 6 little "l"s. But I took a break from serious cubing. Gonna have to go through and remember them all.

If you wanna continue the tutorial then go for it. If you see anything that is wrong then just say the word.

Forum Mafia is a little different in that it is way more indepth than face to face. Also the deadlines are much longer, Newbies themselves have 3 week deadlines. With 3 day nights depending on your mod.

(Right after I said I was trying for a sub 20 I got an almost sub 20 Ao5 and blew the last solve due to nerves.)
Although the border between madness and genius is very narrow.

We all know that "annoying guy on Speedsolving" is a common fake claim.

*is shot for how bad that joke was*

Eh, it looks good, and I'm not sure I feel motivated enough to continue it. I'm pretty swamped with college stuff at the moment...

Yeah, I'd gathered that by reading through the threads here. I've /in'd to my first newbie game. We'll see how it goes. :)

That joke was just awful :P

Yeah I never finished it. I don't think that people here really care, and if they do there is so many places to find info on it that it isn't really worth the time to make.

You should do absolutely fine.

Also, how is speedsolving? I really liked the amount of information there, but I found the moderation to be quite off.

On MS you get offtopic comments all the time and nobody cares. But there if your comment is even slightly off topic they'll delete it and give you a warning.

It isn't always so extreme as that but it still was a little harsh.

Yeah, with the exception of Brest the Speedsolving mods are dicks and moderate way too hard.

I will never forgive them for banning reaction images (which I'm singlehandedly responsible for).

I still go there when I have a serious cubing question and to figure out official comps, but my usage has tailed off significantly.

I always liked Brest.

Eh I just kinda quit on and off. Every time I come back though I get faster.

Got a list of OLL algs I don't know. About 36.

I do this as well.

In other news, I actually tried to start a Mafia game on Speedsolving, but they completely stopped allowing game threads after the Member Elimination games.

I remember those. Good times.

The Speedsolving mods are pretty much just terrible.

Hey man, this isn't the place to be hating on speedsolving mods.

The truth of the matter is that they run a strict site, and that doesn't make them terrible.

They make some weird decisions, but all mods do.

All in all, if you don't like them then just don't deal with them.

All I'm saying is that it's not an enjoyable site to be on anymore because they moderate it way too hard. Their moderating style kills the sense of community by forcing threads to be on topic and not silly at gunpoint.

With you: Yes the moderation makes having fun a hard thing to do, and fun is fun

Against you: They aren't really there to have fun they are there to solve.

I personally am going with the first one, seeing as I don't go there anymore.
