See! This kind of high-handed elitist response is just proof of the poor attitude that your silence surrounds. Who are you to declare that your opponents do not "deserve" your response? Who are you to decree that their attempts at communication are somehow not worthy of being called 'talk'? Who made you the high arbiter of the worth of their attempts at dialogue? A 1 for attitude is the absolute maximum that snobbish players like yourself deserve.

Then it displays poor manners on their part. I mean, would you go to a German site and attempt to play there, knowing that you were unable to communicate with others on the site? People's laziness in learning the language is as much a poor attitude as people who know it but refuse to use it. Both categories deserve attitude ratings of 1.

Skittles! wrote:Which is a really poor attitude to take, do you really care so little that people might be trying to communicate with you? Not looking at the chat-box is equivalent to sitting round a game-table with cotton wool stuffed in your ears. If I played you and found out you did that then I'd rate your attitude 1.

I come here to play risk. "meeting"/talking to people from all over the world is a nice bonus, but you don't have to talk to play well.

This may not be facebook, but there's nothing wrong with politeness and etiquette IMHO. We're still people, not robots.

I would agree here, but i usually give all 5 stars unless they are rude in the chat. Then if they are positive in the chat i will take it one step ferther and check the friendly box.

Last I checked, AIM and MSN and facebook were for socializing, and this game was for playing...

im a chatty guy but i have my moments when im in a rush adn dont bother checking chat or maybe, im having a bad day and just dont feel like talking. is it a crime that just because im not in a good mood to talk, that i deserve a 1 for attitude?

if they dont start bitchin when they get bad rolls or when i get good rolls, then they will get a 5. if they want to talk, then i give them a 5 and check talkative and/or friendly. but i dont just hand out 1s cause they didnt say anything.

The whole rating thing is hilarious.

2. Skittles is a dick.
3. Why would I wish everyone GL when in reality I want to destroy their entire army?
4. Why do some people seem to think that only talkative people have a good attitude?
5. Personally I think that the people who reckon that silence = bad attitude are the same sort of dicks that spoil this game by taking it too seriously.
6. Dear Mr Lack, please, please, please can we have an area that ignores points and ratings and scoreboards and all the other extraneous crap that has sod all to do with actually playing a nice, fun boardgame.
