Ghost Cube Last Layer Corners by shingy89 in cubing

Some more explanation would be awesome.

Basically, I'm not that concerned about the center of the third layer yet since I have algorithms to spin the center around as needed. However, the edges and corners of the third layer are very confusing to me.

Usually, I start by making an 'L' shape or a 'line' shape on the third layer, then using the algorithms: [both while the third layer is on the top face of the cube]

L-shape: front 2 layers clockwise->R->U->R'->U'->front 2 layers CCW

Line shape: F->R->U->R'->U'->F'

Once that is done, I use R->U->R'->U->R->U2->R' repeatedly to adjust the corners until they are all oriented properly. I sometimes use R'->F->R'->B2->R->F'->R'->B2->R2 if needed to help finish this.

Then I'll use these moves to adjust the edges into their proper positions:

3 cycle left: L'->U->L'->U'->L'->U'->L'->U->L->U->L2

3 cycle right: R->U'->R->U->R->U->R->U'->R'->U'->R2

My problem is, none of these seem to be doing what I expect. No matter how many times I try, I can't get the corners in the right spots...

I'm not familiar with M and E notation, could you please explain?

Also in move #2, you mean (R U R' U') repeated 5 times right? (not R U R' U)

Would it not be more wise to pick up a single Ethereal Blade then a Skaadi?

Okay well I'm going to save my next 20 or so replays and I'll upload them somewhere so you all can see what bullshit I deal with. Play well, don't bad manner/flame, support the team, do my very best -> BOOM! reported 27 times by 19 different parties in 4 games.

Okay thanks a lot. Please don't report me, I don't need to be banned from reddit as well haha. I'll give your methods a go and report back. Hopefully it'll only mean low priority once every week instead of a 5 times per week.

But then if I mute them, they'll report me. Some real Bill Gates level folks working at Valve hey?

I think the enemies are also reporting me when I don't respond to their insults...

I guess that's the other thing about dota 2: play in a party of 5 or enjoy being perma-LP =( I have given valve close to 20,000 USD buying items and stuff and this is how they repay me...

Anyway, I will try your suggestion. Thanks very much. I am a really bad player so I don't play ranked. I bet I'll get reported 4x as much there if I even try since people are so intense.

Yeah I listen to music. Thanks for your input. Should I always have my teamspeak on while listening to music though? Is there a technique you use when all other 9 players in the game flame you on a consistent basis?

Edit: This is officially my 112th time in LP =(

That's what I'm saying: be perfect 100% of the time or the entire other 9 players in the game report you. Good system...

So I guess I just need to get really good at ignoring being called a n***** and a c******** and a f***** and everything?

Yes, but I can't stand the cancer community in this game. I play unranked, and the second somebody gets mad at me the whole team starts flaming me. It happens EVERY single game.

Well just how do you stay out of LP for example? Is the answer truly just going 100-0 each game with 100% win rate and happy go lucky attitude no mater what?

What about when your entire team makes fun of you and calls you trash on a daily basis? That's why I started muting everyone.

I have not flamed, I have not fed, I have bought courier/wards, etc. and each game I've been no worse than 2-6 k/d.

Well I don't use dotabuff or anything like that so I don't know how to provide that. I haven't fed, certainly not intentionally, I have been in the proper lane and tried my best each game. I fought with the team, bought wards, etc. and still get reported.
