Chaos trio is a good name for Minka, Vinnie, and Pepper and all but I'd would like to point out that their trio name could also be MVP

#I honestly don't know how well known that is but if someone's unaware MVP in gaaaming means most valuable player #and you know M - Minka V - Vinnie P- Pepper #lps 2012

Beginning to think none of you know what mvp stands for……

#it’s not who the best player is it’s who’s the most valuable to their team #if the team can win with or without them they’re not mvp #if the team loses every game they don’t play in then they’re mvp #everyone just votes for the best player regardless bc they’re also stupid which is why mvp means nothing to me

i think the thing that’s silliest about the mandatory 0 rule is how it replaces your worst result- so since iga didn’t lose r1 in any tournaments she did play, she’s losing more points than aryna who lost her first match in dubai. obviously it’s not “unfair” because the players know, it is what it is, but i just think that if the rule rewards or incentivizes (for lack of a better word) tanking… it’s not a good rule. i hope next year they make the requirement 3 or 4 500s because 6 is just absurd for top players who go deep in 1000s and slams lol

I don't think it incentivizes tanking though because the ideal is to not drop any of the 1000 tournaments...if a player doesn't get any mandatory zeros then they hypothetically get to include all of their 1000 results, where it's a lot easier to earn more points than in the 500s. Plus, if Iga had tanked in Miami for example and only gotten 10 points, she still would have lost those 10 points, and ended up at the same point total she's at now – it only seems like she's lost more than Aryna because they've only just now decided to apply the mandatory zeros.

I also think we're not taking into account the fact that these calculations are all made in hindsight. No high-level player is going to roll up to a 1000 tournament and decide to tank for the purpose of having a smaller point total to drop, because a) they're probably not aiming to have any mandatory zeros anyway, and b) they'd much rather replace their current lowest point gain. Aryna was only able to drop Dubai because she performed better in later 1000s. If she had lost first round of Wuhan, for example, she would have had to count one of those +10 values. So, I understand the thought process but I don't think that's actually an issue in practice. The players who actually need to worry about mandatory zeros are never going to settle for early exits anyway.

But I 100% agree, 6 500s is too many, especially considering the 1000s are all mandatory now. Even just the placement of the 500s in the schedule makes it difficult to fit 6 in – players are being forced to commit themselves to long stretches of back to back to back to back tournaments. I think it's also even harder for Iga because it was an Olympic year, so no chance of making DC (and ended up missing Canada as well).

But on a much more serious level I think it's just the scheduling issues, again and again and again. The season is too long, 10 mandatory 1000s and 6 mandatory 500s is ridiculous, the way that the mandatory zeros were applied was weird.

#idk. does this make sense?#like i get you‚ it feels unfair #but those points were technically not even supposed to be counted anyway #honestly i don't see the point in having any mandatory 500s. like keep the 1000s mandatory sure. and keep the rank total at 18 tournaments #players are going to go to 500s anyway and if they don't then it's their loss? they wont improve their ranking?#like the player is the one suffering most from not playing 500s because they have less tournaments to add to their point total #i understand they want to make sure that there are actually good draws with top players for 500 tournaments #but realistically youre going to get better draws if you reduce the number of them total???#because again im assuming most top players would rather play 500s rather than 250s since it contributes so much more to point total #but when you have like 50 million 500 events throughout the year then players are spreading out over all of those draws #i mean what is even the point of having two 500s in one week like with eastbourne and bag homburg? you're guaranteeing to split the field #if you pick and choose which tournaments get that status you increase the chance of that tournament actually drawing players in #take stuttgart for example. and charleston too.#you dont have to beg top players to show up to 500s. they will come if the tournament is seen as valuable #and it's hard for a tournament to seem valuable when it's one of like 50 million others AND back to back to back #idk this is maybe a separate conversation but i just think the wta got it all wrong with the 500s

God istat is so so good fuckkk

#🎀.txt #ok spoiler zone in these tags please be warned #how this game humanizes its characters is so so unique and special #they're all based on classic rpg tropes on a base level sure #but the more you know about them and their lives and their problems and their personalities #you see that they are so much more than that #siffrin knew this to an extent too. even more than the player.#but then without you even realizing... they revert #they go back to being characters #ones with predetermined actions lines and feelings #ones that as the game goes on and Siffrin continues to get stronger... become less and less valuable to you #to the point where you skip everything you can #to the point where you can begin to quote them on even the most random possible dialog opportunities #and the thing about that... the thing about these beautiful characters becoming nothing more than something to skip through #to ignore #to treat as a burden #to space out during #is that siffrin is right there with you #these people aren't his friends. they aren't even characters anymore. they're actors in a play made to drive you insane.#so they act with them. they join this play #this never-ending play of insanity #and he plays his role WELL #to the point where you. the player. see the main character as an actor.#and siffrin sees themself as a disgusting manipulative liar playing his friends for fools.#no not even his friends #because they aren't their friends anymore #they're actors. they're fictional characters.#and siffrin misses and loves his FRIENDS. not whoever these... things are #because they aren't even actors anymore #because actors are people. and people change. these are just fictional characters now. and siffrin is stuck with them.

Me, shouting downstairs: please make note in your journal that I’m miserable and suffering and apparently going to die an early death but I look fucking cute today!

AuntMurble: *loud laugh*

Me: I’m in pain and my body is coming apart but my hair is cute! My outfit is cute!

AuntMurble: it’s true and I really like that sweater!

#my spirit is so fucking cute!#Murble gets the most valuable player award #I complain about her all the time (and rightfully so)#but she dropped me off at my appointment #drove back across town and picked auntpretty1 up for hers #dropped her off and picked me up #we and Faf all went #back to pick auntpretty1 up #and then she very patiently handled an unraveling and very confused auntpretty1 #and list to me and all my new weird body stuff #jennhoney personal log #she’s a chaos demon but she’s amazing at a few little things
