TCM?

I've gathered from the front page that TCM stands for 'The Chicken Masters', but who are they? Where have they come from? I notice that Sen is among them, and some other high profile players. I played a few over the past week and wondered wtf it stood for.


On a slightly different note, how many TGM-xxxxx players are there? The only TGM player I've ever come across is HOLiC. Are they rare, or am I just not getting up early enough to play them?

 

TCM are Japanese palyers who don't play TGM and find TGM palyers a little odd perhaps. And perhaps they are right!

There probably lots of TGM players. We just tend to... play TGM instead.

 

On a completely different note, which doesn't merit its own thread, has anyone looked at HOLiC's scores on blockstats. They seem to stay static for a week or two and then take a 20 point jump. How does that happen? Are there inaccuracies in the data, or does HOLiC not play for ages, and then play for a whole day? I wouldn't accuse him of cheating though, because he is a damn good player.

 

They must share Henk's vision of imagining TGM players with a chonmage.

 

a quick glance at the 2ch experts thread's fc listing shows at least some of the TCM guys played TGM1-3.

 

From what I've read on 2ch, the TCM are players with high ratings who are afraid to play worldwide too much/with lower-rated people/at certain times of day/etc. for fear of losing rating points. Which probably describes every single TDS player at one time or another.

 

I'll worry about points when I've got 9999 on everything.

 

Sen is a TCM player.

 

So was NOAH, for a short while.


At first the TCM only included NUu, T, and WC, but then everyone started getting in on the joke.

 

Does anyone know the previous name of TCM-???. (The ?'s are Japanese characters). Pentium would be my best bet, but I'm not sure. Still, he's on my friends roster.

 

I'm thinking Pentium is Core Duo, just by the natural progression of things.

 

The one at 8302? The japanese characters are "Minoru", I think, but I have no idea who it is. Caffeine thought it was Noah, but I played him today and he's called NOAHGachi. And I don't think it's Pentium, either, because Core Duo is still in the top ten.


Edit: Well, it looks like I was wrong. Minoru was in fact Noah, who now has a new friend code, which explains why Minoru still shows up in the top ten, but Noah does too.
