Great, teach me how to game now.

I'm getting Dutch pancakes for the next 1-1.5 hours. You'll be on after?

Play against a noob, then you'll get fuck tonnes of pr anyway if you have a new account. Then you play vs better players.

You probably need to know the better player to avoid getting kicked. But feel free to add me on ESO and send me a message if we're both online and we can play some games.

It's just the flat ones basically. For some reason, they are called Dutch pancakes because the thick pancakes are more common in the UK and US.

Am I reading this right? Did you eat a stroopwafel with old cheese? That sounds terrible.

Old cheese is pretty good but it has a distinct taste and takes some time getting used to.

No, I ate the old cheese after the stroopwafel.

Yea, he was a fast learner. It took him less than 200 games to become captain (by the way, it's funny to see he lost to pr 26 kynesie in 2011 xD), 400 games to become lt co, 700 games to become brig and about 1000 games to become 2700 elos :chinese:

A few months, if you count that time I played a lot of Otto. But my play-level is super inconsistent, so one minute I get accused of smurfing, and the next I'm getting thrashed by a sergeant. Your ability to do well depends a lot on your comfort zone, and my comfort zone is to play the same build-order, with the same civ, on the same map over and over again. While genuinely good players have a much wider comfort zone, and can adapt to situations better.

Tbh PR means very different things depending on how that person plays aoe3. Some PR 25 guy picking a random civ without looking up a BO and hopping into quick search is much more impressive than a PR 25 guy who only plays Iroquois.
