rt as an option

People are always asking me to play rt... I am rarely able to, so they get mad, some being very rude about it, a few even putting me on foe because of it.

I considered suggesting that it be made an option.. but that would probably be pointless because rt is basically the same thing as speed. I even had a message on my own board for awhile telling people that I dont play rt, but that made no difference.

Anyone else have this problem?

Not me. I would suggest you do not join as many 1v1s with freemiums.

At least, freemiums who haven't played more than 10 games or so... ;)

I join games with people from pretty much every rank... and its only the high rankers who complain

the last 2 to complain were Bombardier (Lieutenant) and AAFitz (Major)
I won the games but I dont think that had anything to do with it because they started posting to my wall before the game ended.
I deleted the posts of course... you'll have to take my word for it, they were nasty expecially Bombardier

I'm not complaining about them personally, just giving examples

I've seen this with non-members, too. You start a game, and they join. If you're not there in real-time; and instead do a turn or two per day, some of them get nasty.

yeah, I posted, you had the game sewn up, and there was no way you were going to lose, so I suggested you make a game out of it, instead of just leaving to play the freestyle trick. I was just looking for a good game. And I wasnt nasty...I was toying with you, and trying to get you back there... Ive used the freestyle to my advantage myself, so I cant complain in general. Luckilly you messed up in the feudal game, and I got my points back, along with the points of one or two more of them I think...or hope.

On my part though, when i join a game with a freemium, I almost always help the player out as much as possible, in the interest in making a good game out of it.

And spy, youre entire strategy really is based on make a move, leave quick and come back later to give the guy no chance. Its perfectly legal, and as I said ive done it myself, but it isnt exactly sporting either, so you have to expect complaints.

It's probably for the greater good of Lackattack's wallet that us premiums actually drag out our games, so that inpatient freemiums feel obliged to pay! :)

Not sure I understand... "to give the guy no chance" to what?

Yes I leave and come back later, and leave and come back later, and leave..... etc etc etc. Thats what I mean. I am not able to play rt for many reasons, sometimes work, sometimes my kids... whatever

So what am I not giving the other player a chance to do? A chance to take control or to steal an extra turn? If thats what they are trying to do, that sounds more unsportsman like than the fact that I have a life.

making rt a gameoption would be like offering speedgames to freemiums. its just not going to happen.

yes rt option is the same as speed but some people dont have the money for premium so when new recruits join our games we are stuck in a game that takes like four days to finish as to 30 min. there for real time should be made an option

considering that you are premium, spped games seem pretty much like real time, but i understand that you are not the one that wants to play rt, but i don't see how you could make it an option, what would it entail?

it is a bit cheap to join an fs, go first, then leave

itd be like seq only that you are 100% sure you get to go first

im sure the people that set up these games dont do it because they want a seq games where they definitely move 2nd

for that get this done to them:

dont begin your turn, wait for 23 hours and 55 minutes, then take your turn but dont end

that way you start the next round and are the one moving first - you have the advantage

for those that want to play rt - BUY PREMIUM!

Oh c'mon, you foe way too easily. The wall spamming shows a dedication to the cause, the desire to play rt shows a player who'll buy premium once they have the cash, get a credit card, turn 18 etc etc

Oh, and don't be such a petty snitch. "Teacher, teacher that darkangels205 has been writing on people's walls!"

The horror!
