I know 4th place is no surprise after your [[Glacier/GlacialHawk|GlacialHawk]] releases, but  debuting at 4th place above [[Aleph]] is still a very nice job. Congrats. =) --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 14:13, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Honestly, 4th place was a surprise for me despite the strong gun proven in the GlacialHawk releases. I'd only given Glacier's movement one test before release: [[Glacier]] 0.1, [[/GlacialHawk|GlacialHawk]] 1.10, and 9 [[HawkOnFire]]s. In that test Glacier outscored GlacialHawk barely, but that was somewhat unsurprising: Glacier's movement is a min-risk movement that is extremely focused on HOT dodging and will assume ''everyone'' fires HOT. In the case of a bunch of HawkOnFires, that assumption holds true, but I had serious doubts about how it would operate in the wider melee field. I expected it to fall at least behind [[Aleph]] in the ranks, but it seems that it turned out to rank a little better than GlacialHawk. --[[User:Rednaxela|Rednaxela]] 14:25, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
