Moderators: Multi Hunters, Cheating/Abuse Team

This is an excellent point that I do not believe has been addressed.jefjef wrote:Dibbun - If you look the rating system has 3 DIFFERENT categories.
Fair play - For cheating/cheap tactics/fairness.
Game play - Strategy/how well played
Attitude - Self explanatory.
You are abusing the system - Whatever you think of someones attitude should not reflect poorly in the other categories - just the attitude one.
Same story with the other categories. If someone is too slow that is more of a game play rating or fair play etc.....

"gg" doesn't mean "I beat you, sucker. Give up." It means "[you played a] good game". It's a chivalrous gesture no matter when it's said. Everyone except the accused gets that, and I don't know that it's worth trying to explain it to him. Maybe when he grows up he'll understand.safariguy5 wrote:I don't know about you all, but when a game is over, especially when I'm the last eliminated, I rarely go and reload the game to see if someone wrote gg. Of course, it's nice when someone has, but I'm not about to get all anal about whether or not someone writes it.
Now what I don't understand is apparently this dual meaning of "chivalry" here. On one hand, telling the other player they played a good game before you eliminate them is somehow "bad", but not saying anything to them is better?
It's like if a tree falls in the forest and nobody's around do you hear it? Likewise, when you type gg after you eliminated everyone, what are the odds that they see it? And really, who cares when you type gg?
Slightly OT here....
You ever seen professional starcraft players? They're typing gg as fast as they can before the game even begins. I can see how that might be rude or unchivalrous, but letting the other players know they played a good game 1 or two turns before the end shouldn't be damning you to a 1 star rating.

Yeah I know that, but I concede that some people do use it at the beginning of the game, and I have seen it used as something of a psychological needle or taunt. In no way does that apply to typing it in game chat when you already have the game well in hand.drunkmonkey wrote:"gg" doesn't mean "I beat you, sucker. Give up." It means "[you played a] good game".

You should have read the rules prior to making your spurious report.Pirlo wrote:awww it's your fault guys. you should have read the wailing wall of his Majesty because he made clear there.
Wait, how is that even relevant to this report. Revealing positions under fog is different from ratings abuse. One is considered bad sportsmanship, and the other is treated as game abuse.Dibbun wrote:You should have read the rules prior to making your spurious report.Pirlo wrote:awww it's your fault guys. you should have read the wailing wall of his Majesty because he made clear there.

Well then turn the other cheek? I'm trying to be diplomatic here. Really, I have no problem with poorly rating deadbeaters, I've done the same thing. But people have RL, get sitters, all that stuff is well known. And I think it's a bit petty to be poorly rating someone just because they said gg a round or two early. A little common sense and understanding goes a long way here.Dibbun wrote:Plenty of those in this report. I've been called a "bitch" in multiple forms countless times in this thread and in other C&A threads. Apparently it's acceptable to flame in this forum.

Flaming is not acceptable in here. You all have been collectively warned by a global moderator to quit it. Everyone should expect warnings if it is kept up.Dibbun wrote:Plenty of those in this report. I've been called a "bitch" in multiple forms countless times in this thread and in other C&A threads.

I'm not saying he broke the rules by getting a sitter, but really, what about his "gameplay" is worthy of more than 1 star? He didn't even play that Prison Riot game, he had a sitter who literally wielded 200+ troops and conquered countless territories. Perfectly legal but not fair play.safariguy5 wrote:Well then turn the other cheek? I'm trying to be diplomatic here.

Saying "gg" prior to winning is the height of arrogance. Try to picture a sports game where a coach whose team has the lead comes over to shake the other coach's hand when there's still 5 minutes or 1 inning left to go. It doesn't matter what the score is - that would be downright unsportsmanlike.

But what about your active games? Do you let them deadbeat or do you find a sitter? I find it hard to believe that you can predict the length of games so well as to not have any active games going when you're away. And god forbid that you have a medical emergency like me that knocked me out for a month last year. Like stated before, this isn't sports where you can go on the DL or IR and everything's going to be ok.Dibbun wrote:I didn't say 75%.

Did you open up my spoiler tag on that post? You will see that the number of rounds sat is less relevant than what occurred when he was being sat at Round 11. A massive chunk of his win was played in that round, and not by him. Hundreds of troops were played and dozens of territories were conquered. No gameplay by the person I'm going to rate equals 1 star on the gameplay rating.
And no, I don't start/join games if I'm going to have to miss turns. But that's just how I roll.

And that's the nature of the beast that is Standard Esc. You can't really predict when the juggernaut hit is going to occur, the deviations in rounds played depends greatly on the map, cards, and number players as well as position, troop counts and a bunch of other variables.Dibbun wrote:I didn't say 75%.
