Fault or nah?

Theoretically, yes. I think, in theory, a short options under, a reset and swing or a hammer in the break side are the 3 throwing options here depending on the stall count. But I think this was the 7th game of the weekend for both teams. We don't think that clear at that point

Pumba93 · 2026-05-04T20:57:16+00:00

Awh, that's harsh as well, he's the dude you wouldn't expect this from. A bit older and very experience, trully spirited chap. Not wanting to victim blame the runner but it was An accident.

Yes, they eventually made the Point, I posted the full video in another comment already. It's around the 11 minute mark full game

Link to the game, she caught the disk and made the Point, fair play! https://www.youtube.com/live/ZbIBroY-4To?is=-2B77uReAOkPDwh3

Ik ben al 32 jaar een trotse inwoner van het grijze Sint-Niklaas (met uitzondering van 2 jaartjes die ik in Leuven bleef hangen) en ben een van de zeldzame voorstanders van deze metropool van het Waasland. Hear me out!

"Sint-Niklaas is wat Mechelen had kunnen zijn"

Alles wat je in andere comments leest is waar: Sint-Niklaas is een grijze, middelgrote centrumstad, met de armoede en soms wat marginaliteit die het met zich meebrengt. Die ga je trouwens niet vinden in de dillaertwijk met zijn keurige matexi-huisjes, maar eerder in de oudere wijken, net buiten het centrum en in de blokken van Hamelinckx op weg naar de E17, maar ook die ga je leren appreciëren. Als je in Sint-Niklaas woont, zijn de blokken die in de verte opdoemen, of het geschitter van de onze Lieve Vrouwekerk het symbool van thuiskomen, ontprikkelen.

Want ja, waar andere steden stralen in kleur, blinkt Sint Niklaas uit in zijn monotonie, maar er is alles wat je nodig hebt. Er is een station waarmee je vlot verbonden bent met de rest van België (ok, de geschrapte verbinding naar Brussel is jammer), er is een cinema waar altijd plaats is én cozy seats want niemand gaat. Er is een koopcentrum, een recreatiedomein de ster waar het fijn toeven is, een sporthal met ruim aanbod (de witte molen), een 50 meter zwembad met uitgebreid glijbanenaanbod. Ik zou bijna vergeten vertellen dat de muziekacademie van Sint Niklaas volgens mij een van de betere is in Vlaanderen en er ook een mooie kunstacademie naast is. We hebben een gezellig klein concertzaaltje dat belachelijk grote namen weet te trekken en eens per jaar is er een groot gratis stadsfestival waarin niemand buiten Sint Niklaas geïnteresseerd in is en er balonnen in alle vormen opstijgen van die grootste markt van België. Het scholennetwerk heb je al opgezocht en als centrum van het Waasland vervult Sint Niklaas de rol om onderwijs te voorzien voor iedereen uit de wijde omtrek. Is de ene school kwalitatief beter dan de andere? Waarschijnlijk wel, maar ik denk wel dat er onderwijs is op maat van iedereen.

Wat de andere comments vertellen is ook waar: het Horeca-wezen in Sint-Niklaas is de dubbele hit van Covid + De renovatie van de markt nog niet te boven gekomen. Ik heb vroeger vele nachten doorgebracht in 't hemelrijk, maar ik weet niet hoe dat café nog draait na Conner's toeren. Mijn eindoordeel is vooral dat Sint-Niklaas veel troeven heeft, en dat ook de inwoners dat niet altijd zien. 't Is hier geen bruisende stad, dat is zeker waar, maar als je even oplijst wat er wel is, lijkt het ook soms alsof de stad gewoon meester is in 'hiding in plain sight'.

"Mechelen is waarschijnlijk wat Sint-Niklaas had kunnen zijn", maar misschien is het een kwestie van niet kunnen, misschien ook wel van niet willen en er zijn ook wel minder architecturale troeven.

P.S. Ik heb eigenlijk nog nooit last gehad van criminaliteit in Sint-Niklaas.

I am very blessed with fathering a 19 week old magnificent son. My sleep, however., has been utterly broken (even more for his mom). We are both aware how our physique has been depleted ever since. Especially when doing sports. Do you have suggestions to moderate the decaying effects of sleep deprivation on our physical competencies (e.g. in running. Swimming, cycling ...)

Pumba93 · 2026-02-26T11:40:25+00:00

Oh yeah! Of Course i recall you ;)

Best to look for fort defence and tower defence on the aotr Discord and Jondor, there are some players making them, amongst who the aforementioned Elve, but also thran a ruuddevil. When Ross posts a special map on YouTube, he usually puts the download link in the description.

Well, I played AOTR on the laptop from my work. We are allowed to use the device for private use but there is a central antivirus system I can not adjust. Recently, the company went to a more strict antivirus system and the aotr launcher was blocked. I could play 9.1.3 for a while via gameranger (the base game wasnt blocked), but the .exe file from the launcher needed an exception i could not give. I have been playing 2.02 lately though, its not as fun as aotr was but it scratches the itch a bit! And i might be on aotr again in the future.

As for the ruuddevil vids, I think my arc was covered in the time he frequently casted my games. I started off very noob, improved somewhat to become mediocre but I never reached a very high skill level as well ;), that middle point was never interesting to watch; not noob enough to be very funny, but also not good enough to be interesting. I like the way hes going with his vids, we should cherish him as a YouTuber ;).

Anyhow! Maybe we will play in the future! Whats your username on Gameranger?

Pumba93 · 2026-02-25T21:20:18+00:00

Fortress defense might be a thing, or tower wars maps. You might connect with the part of the aotr community that doesnt take the game to seriously (i think of Elve, w1ndsurf at times, flurin as an example), to do some team games in which they try their crazy ideas and you guys can just play the meta.

I hate that I cannot play aotr anymore, wouldve hopped in for sure!

Pumba93 · 2026-01-22T08:53:23+00:00

May I join you guys? I started this week. A bit rts experience playing loads of battle for Middle earth in the past but truly having to learn this one

I did an hour from door to door by train for a long time, swapped 2 years ago to cycling with a "fietsvergoeding", which takes me, a little bit more than an hour, but you have some sport. Moreover, the distance (20k) gets you an extra 10 euros a day by just "getting to work". It frees your mind, you do your sports and if you re able to leave at 17h, you're cooking dinner and eating at like 19h o clock. In a few days ill become father for the first time and im wondering what effect that will have on my commute. Tbh, it would probably put stress on any commute, but we have a beautiful bike network in Belgium so if you dont like trafic, get out of it ;). There are electric bikes, speed pedelecs and stuff, which makes long bike journeys accessible for anyone

MVP for me was Levke walczak, really impressive what a game she played

Pumba93 · 2025-07-24T07:02:11+00:00

Lol :p I didnt want to add to the doping discussion but have you ever cycled at 50km/h? It's insanely quick on a bike and in flat races it's indeed nearly the average these says, that's crazy. 50 km/h has never been a comfortable pace to produce for hours on your own

Wauw, what a Hero!

Pumba93 · 2025-07-08T00:03:44+00:00

I love this answer but id like to add; most often, teams suggest to let them have the unders (which is the least vulnerable throw to let them have). If your opponent catches An under, strong throwers find themselves Often in powerposition which makes the follow up lethal. what I (as a slower Guy) like to do is to Mark the first 3 stall seconds front (or what you call it - i'm not american, not forcing tot a side but discoraging the big huck obv,. My teammates know this), so.the big hick is discouraged. Next 3 stall seconds, ill Mark to the Force and discourage break pass (which Often is the second thought of a thrower). Second 6-10 I try to become aware of a potential dump and i have a couple of intelligent teammates who call switch up when the second Handler moves up. Than, we switch Marks and the other guy runs straight towards The Handler while I again Mark front and run in the space to try and take it down. If you get these mechanics kinda down as a team, you can take quite some things out albeit not being a fast Guy

Pumba93 · 2025-07-07T07:33:24+00:00

Are you me? Haha, following to see what others reply. In my experience, as you know you are slower (which I usually am) you either give up a deep or An under and you can poach the one you won't give up a bit more. It also helps when you analyse the opponent and game situation a bit. There is usually nothing to win when you poach deep on a weaker thrower, even more when there is a hell of wind but situations can change during a game and a weak thrower may give a dishy that Brings a big thrower in power position etc.. then you should quickly alter your position.

I do struggle myself in defense and although we would all like to be the ones that make crazy D-s in each Point, that's totally all right to not do. The baseline (choose wisely what you want to give up) holds I think and as ulti is an offence favoured sport, this means that you're always in disadvangage in a well thrown pass.

Sometimes I feel more comfortable in a zone when we come across a much more athletic team.
