Dude, seriously, why do you care?trapyoung wrote:...as we speak you foe me?....
heheh, typical behaviour.trapyoung wrote:hahahha, klobber you're ridiculous, as we speak you foe me? hahaha, you clown.
for me it would make no difference; if you don't want to play me for any reason i will not play you. It really is that simple..HannibalSmith wrote:There should possibly be a "foe" list and a "no-play" list.
99% of the people on my ignore list are not foes, they are simply people you've played a million games with or someone that you need to take a short break from who signs up for every game with you.
I've only played games with about 3-5 people that I would never want to see again.
I don't dislike people, but I'm also not going to have 20 active games all with the same player. So sometimes you put someone on "foe" to chill them out, but it doesn't necessarily mean you don't like that person, or that you never want to play with them in the future.
In one case, Benjkatisdead and I were in a Waterloo tourney and if you know who he is, he is a fantastic player. I had a bunch of practice 1-0n-1's set up to sharpen my game and we after we played a split, I put him on "foe" so he wouldn't feel out my style anymore in case we played each other in the tourney as it got underway. No more scouting! Well, Benji is certainly no foe and I took him off soon as he was eliminated from the tourney. But it wasn't cuz I don't like him! It was a temporary situation and had nothing to do with not wanting to play him or not wanting to get beat by him ever again.
The "no-play" list could auto-remove players after a week, for instance, while the "foe" list can be permanent as players will need to be removed manually.
However, if you join a game with someone on your foe (or 'no play') list, then they should automatically be removed from your foe list for at least a 24-hr period. (Easier to say than to write the code for).
Anyways, a 'no-play' list separate from a "foe" list could help calm things down as people on this site seem to take it way too personally when you put them on "foe."

Anyway, i still don't need immediate knowledge of my inclusion on anothers list..
I definitely don't use it that way. And, I partially misread your comment to mean that you thought foe lists should not be allowed.Thezzaruz wrote:I (or the OP) aren't trying to force you to play anyone. But we do think that you shouldn't be allowed to choose whether you will join someones game if you don't allow him the same choice. You might already do it that way but it's quite clear (from this and other threads) that some do use it in that way.PLAYER57832 wrote: I am not going to play someone who spews out filth, who is an extremely bad sport ... etc. If I were forced to do so, I would leave the site. I come here for fun and entertainment, not to put up with complete jerks.
A lot of the complaints are running along the lines of "I can't play enough games because I am on some people's foe lists". This was not directed specifically at you, just the idea in general.Thezzaruz wrote:Don't see the relevance of that statement. Especially as I'm not (as far as I know) on anyones foe-list. I'm arguing this on principal reason.PLAYER57832 wrote: There are several THOUSAND people active in CC. If you are on enough ignore lists that you are feeling limited in your play ... well, you might want to take some lessons from Miss Manners.
I'd rather it stop me from entering the game - or at least telling me. I don't have a huge foe list (maybe 20 or 30), but they all fall in these categories: (a) deadbeat, (b) cheater/multi, (c) abusive or so wacky I don't need to spend my leisure time dealing with them. I have yet to figure out why people get so wound up about the foe list. For the most part, with the exception of a few that use it when they lose, if you make it on to someone's foe list, chances are that you've earned that place rightfully.HannibalSmith wrote: Anyways, are we in agreement that someone on your foe list must come off (if at least temporary) if you join a game with them? I couldn't determine your response on that one, but I haven't read every single post. Just your last one.

Not at all...PLAYER57832 wrote:And, I partially misread your comment to mean that you thought foe lists should not be allowed.
Every question you have asked I have already answered.Why don't you read the previous pages,before you voice.Then you can give an informed opinion.Thanks for listening.Not being a smart ass or anything.dividedbyzero wrote:I'd rather it stop me from entering the game - or at least telling me.

I've accidentally entered a game with someone on my ignore/foe list...and really wished I hadn't because they missed 3 or 4 turns that game, too...which is exactly why I had ignored him the first place.
I wouldn't want it to automatically take anyone off my list. It would be okay if it gave me the option - but again, what's to stop someone from just adding them right back once they join ?
And why is this a big deal again ? Is it a big problem ? (I'm truly curious...not being a smartass.)

I agree, but there are three exceptions.jiminski wrote:Simple answer is that i would not join a game with someone on my foe list... why would i?
No, you misunderstand, I don't want to join games with foes -- whether I have them in my list or they have me in theirs, excpet possibly for forum reasons.trapyoung wrote:the first problem you listed is solved w/ sirius's suggestion
No, his suggestion is that if they try to join your game, your name is removed from their foe list.trapyoung wrote:i know you don't want to join games w/ foes, nor do i - nor do i want people who have foed me to have the option to join games with me. sirius's suggestion solves this.
I agree, this would be a better change. Only problem is that most of those opposing the OPs idea has been opposed to this too (both in this and other threads).PLAYER57832 wrote: I could see if, instead of having someone's name removed from the foe list automatically if they join a game with a foe, making it so that you CANNOT join the games of anybody you have foed, EXCEPT in tournaments (this would be an automatic program override -- if the game type is "tournament" foe lists will not be honored -- and everyone should know this in advance).
That seems more in line that requiring that a name be removed. I WOULD support that change.
There will always be some dissent but this is a far better Idea the foe list should be used equally and if you do not want to play a person enough to foe them then you should not be able to join or have them join your games...Thezzaruz wrote:I agree, this would be a better change.

And yea, tournament and battle royal games should override any foe-list ofc.
This won't help to revive the speed/freestyle game though.It really is a stuggle to get a game started in the evening.Its rife with players who think the ignore list is some kind of revenge.As far as I am aware I personally am on 3 ppls lists.One of these players has a Foe list longer then WAR and PEACE and would not even notice if he joined a foes game and one of the foe was removed.Soloman wrote:There will always be some dissent but this is a far better Idea the foe list should be used equally and if you do not want to play a person enough to foe them then you should not be able to join or have them join your games...Thezzaruz wrote:I agree, this would be a better change.
