Title: [ch960]=1
Post by P.A.F.625 on 05/19/18 at 06:39:27

Hi, I’m Paulo Ferreira, aka PAF. I’m a MKDS fag, although I used to be a MK7 kiddie. I have played 4 mafia games, all in this board; and have read the majority of the games in here.
No-one outside those 3 sections has heard of me, I’m sure. But I guarantee you I’ve followed all sections at some point or another and have a good idea what each MK game is like, and who are the top players, etc.
So, let’s see:

- Only portuguese that takes MK seriously. You know, that country at the edge of Europe that looks like a face.
- Top-60 MKDS NonPRB, top-25 on one track, one win on Leone (yes, the same one that runs dis shit).
- I have a preference for the flat retro tracks.
- I also did PRB/shortcut sometimes. My RR flap PR uses a obsolete SC because I thought the new one was boring, heh
- I like anime, but I’m nowhere near as much of a weeb as Diogo. Vote him too, btw.
- I’m a maths nerd
- Contender for the KC2K16 extra final contest xD
- Interesting post of mine about masturbation lol (http://www.mariokart64.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1471282212/40#40)
Some facts only mafia scrubs would get:
- Fucked over 2 great players (http://www.mariokart64.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1492536934/603#603) because one of them was drunk lol
- Wrote quick post on phone to keep up with game, created a meme by accident (see DansGame’s sig).
- Shitposts for a full day phase and doesn’t get lynched…  but died anyway lmao. But as a result, Leone got fucked.

Only insecure fags would promise something during their campaign to get votes, so you got nothing from me.  ;)

NOMINATE ME, YA SCRUBS

Actually, Frédéric Duarte-Leite (http://mariokartplayers.com/smk/profile.php?pid=41) was Portuguese until he turned 16 (or 18? can't remember) then became French. He has both nationalities though. I've always regarded him as my best Portuguese friend, he really loves this country and does all he can to make people understand he has that country deep in his heart.

Thanks to the single person who nominated me, thus allowing me in. I think I know who you are.  ;)
So... I'll think of something. I have several ideas... give me a few days.

HALT!!!
My match starts in 2 days!
And I notice there's some N00BS in my group. They usually get nominated by grabbing attention with some campaign, but never get any far on the KC at all. Furthermore, there's also a spambot in it. You want your vote to be serious, admit it.


...
What?
Are you not taking me seriously yet? Do you see me as just some kiddie who got in because everyone got in? Well, then...
I'LL INTIMIDATE YOU.
SEE THIS???

Wow, are you serious? I never knew that. I guess I've been mispronouncing his last name all this time (I assume you pronounce the e's at the end of Duarte and Leite if it's Portuguese, whereas if it were French, you wouldn't). Was his first name always Frédéric or did he "Francize" his name when he came to France?

Also, I assume he speaks both Portuguese and French fluently.

P.S. Something I've always wondered about Portugal: are there a lot of immigrants from Brazil, lusophone Africa, etc. living there? And how common is Brazilian media (television, pop music, cinema, magazines, etc.) or food/drink in Portugal due to the shared language and heritage? If the UK gets much of its pop culture from America, isn't Portuguese pop culture heavily influenced by Brazil?

Post by Antistar on 05/30/18 at 22:23:53

He has his name prounounced "Duartleité", basically, when it comes to talk to French people. And he's born in France, his name has always been Frédéric.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHOOOOOOOOO
I honestly thought this group was close (and it was closer than most), with Orange backed by MK7 and Groggy with 6 noms and his general activity among several communities; so was not expecting 1st. Glad to know you guys went for the serious vote. :P
Anyways, curious to who I'll face in the bracket. I'm not giving up quite yet!

ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!!

My match starts in 7 days. I expect to win, but look who I'll most certainly face in next round... that's right, the weeb master, Etch. And since he deserves to finish 2nd for the 10th time finally win this shit, I'll accept NOT getting ANY votes at all. You read that right!
But I still need to get to the round of 32 before anything!

So, uh, here's some simple maths:

I've dug the results from KC2K16 first round:
WinnersLosersTotal
Average votes: 40.56 22.22 31.39
Standard deviation: 6.74 5.88

Maybe TvK already posted this or was planning to soon... whatever.

The thing is, you can use some simple stats calc to figure out that, given that you're a winner, the odds that you get less than 46 votes are around 80%.
This is assuming that the sample average and std. dev. are good estimations for the real ones. Also assumes that there were no significant changes in the community in the last 2 years in order to change the amount of votes. Last but not least, this assumes that Leone is rigging the contest so perfectly not even the laws of probability notice it.
You might think this means that if you get 46 votes, the odds of winning (ignoring who the opponent is) are 80%, but that's technically wrong. Can't confirm, but I feel like the odds are greater.
The point is... can you get ME such a huge vote count??? If you do so, I'll ask you to NOT vote me at all next round. Deal?

tl;dr: you want us to massively vote for you to make sure we won't vote at all for you at the next stage?

I want both, exactly; just not as you worded it, there's no cause-effect in here. As for next stage... why not? :P

You thought my campaign ended there? lol

Would just like to emphasize the importance of activity. MR is known for his streak of 100+ months of MK64 PRs (I think he’s at 115 now? idk, doesn’t matter). Pretty sure several people are where they are now because they climbed the charts consistently.
Myself, I have PRed in MKDS for97 weeks in a row, from March 2015 to January 2017. The streak ended when I was first watching Death Note, my first anime… obviously a coincidence.
This period was a dark age for the MKDS PP, no more than 5 people were active at a time. In fact on a certain week, only one was active…
http://www.mariokart64.com/mkds/archives/00000547.html
;D ;D ;D
Due to low activity, and as a reward for my consistency I got several awards. I am 8th in award points on MKDS PP. lol like that means anything xddd

(By the way, Ben Stoneman (BSMKDS) is 2nd in award points, has some crazy WRs and is most likely the person who has played MKDS the most. He deserves more votes than a certain MKDD speedrunkiddie  ;) )

Post by P.A.F.625 on 06/15/18 at 10:57:37

So... my match should start within an hour or so.  ;) (Edit: scratch that, Leone did it again)
I do doubt I will hit the 80th percentile in votes like I suggested, but I'm confident I'll get enough to win.
Go ahead and reread this whole shitty thread to know why you should vote PAF!

(Posting this during midtime on soccer World Cup Portugal vs Spain - I'm also confident for this one :P )

Ha, excellent timing! I wasn't sure who to go with for this match, but you definitely won my vote!

And don't feel bad for being an MK7 kiddie at one point; we all have to start somewhere. Luckily (or unfortunately, depending on who you talk to) I grew up with SMK, so that's where I stand.

Good luck on the rest of the tourny!  [smiley=beer.gif] [smiley=beer.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

The real question is why would you be ashamed of playing the best Mario Kart ever at one point ?
