How familiar are you/we with...
Beginning a game on AoR Might.
Player 1 deploys...
Player 2 deploys...
...
....
.....
Player 2 states "RT!"
Player 1 moves again later with player 2 this time not available to deploy.
With the 2nd round worth of men, player 1 takes the fight to player 2 crashing into a castle and taking momentum of the game because he has to fight 13 men less.
Player 2 returns to find it's their turn... but they... only... get. to. deploy. 8??? The harsh realization strikes them as player 1 has a string of 1s accross the board and a victorious army perched at a dock ready to fight again.
In a fit of anger and frustration... Player 2 pouts at the screen letting out a sigh of discontent and types: "Foe'd."... "Cheap tactics!"... "Cheater"... etc and it goes on and on.
---------------------------------
I believe this to be a genuin topic of discussion because this is a particular map where it's not so much the setting as it's choosing when to strike. Each round, for a period of time, the first player to begin the next round has 13 men more than their opponent and given the short distance to travel for a decisive strike, that 13 men is often enough to take 50% of the opponent down 50%. The opponent if not on when the player moves, misses out on having a chance to deploy and defend.
So... the topic of discussion... If you create a non-speed game, freestyle on Might... and your opponent deploys and attacks you while you're offline, do you foe them because you feel it is unfair or bad gameplay?
If you answered yes, then answer the following. Do you expect anyone joining your games to play your game as soon as they join in its entirety regardless of Real life commitments?
I know for a fact, I play very spread out schedules. I play mainly at work and a bit from home, I make scattered moves whenever I can find the time. That's why I only join speed games if I can play RT, if I don't join a speed game, it's because I can't commit to RT.
Do you find yourself being so synical that you don't believe someone if they don't play RT? I've recently played someone who said: "rt"... when I responded that I couldn't do RT and gave my reason, he said: "you're probably lying and will move when I'm not here."
So ... do we foe and blame people for not being able to move when we want them to? Do we blame and foe them for moving when we're not here? Do we expect them to play when we think they should play and do we scold them with "foe" and cheap accusations because they move when they can and we're not there to respond?
