Whining?

I'm a newbie compared to most gamers here, is this normal? Is it really about points in the long haul and not about sportsmanship in each individual game?

I added the [game] tag for you for a quick link to the game.

Lots of players care about points, yeah. You need only look at all the shenanigans that used to go on to reach Conqueror, though the recent Conquerors have gotten there cleanly. I've seen a lot of players say that if they can't win, they want the highest-ranked player to win. Thinking it is one thing, but actively sabotaging another player's chances to win just so the highest ranked player can win is dangerously close to throwing a game. I like to see the lower ranked players win. That's the entire point of the SoC, after all, helping players get better.

Obviously any gross abuse of the game is forbidden. This includes but is not limited to: throwing games or deliberately benefiting from thrown games, intentional deadbeating, holding players hostage, serial teammate killing, hijacking accounts, systematically "farming" new recruits and colluding with other players in any way to manipulate the scoring system.

Deliberately working to help a sergeant win rather than a corporal first class is stupid. They're only one step away from each other on the rank ladder. If red loses to you right now, using your points, he loses 39 points. If he loses to the other player, he loses 34 points. The difference is only 5 points, which seems pretty lame to me.

its also a freemium player;they tend to be very point-greedy because there are only 4 games for them and fluctuation is therefor very slow.Some are even willing to lie or break truces for those slow points(had an experience with one recently).
BTW,i like your name!allimitatie achter de rug?

I've been wanting to ask this for quite some time. Explain your username, kuthoer. Is there such a horrible woman in your life?

I'm really confused as to which rules you were violating that made you get kicked from that game.

Irony?


I'm only guessing here, but... multi? They only kick you out of games for a major infraction and that's the more common one. Oopsies!

Awesome.

Bollocks.

I have never seen an open statement about higher rank attempting to help the next highest rank win, but I am certain I have experienced this several times. How despicable and immature.

We are all foolish for spending $$ here at CC until they make an honest attempt at providing a believable random instead of this obviously scripted nonsense.
