Nope, I am not angry. Trust me, if I was angry, I wouldn't be here. Y'all have no idea what angry looks like.THC wrote: ↑Wed Oct 06, 2021 9:00 amOK - let's have a look who the griefer is. France did something you don't like in a game, and you bring it to the forum, in an on-going game. France pisses you off - let's forget the "I am not angry" comment because you obviously are/were - because they don't play in a certain way, and your response is to write a forum post to moan about it. Isn't that trying to disrupt the game?
Nor am I moaning. I am not saying, it's stupid. I am not bitching about the state of Diplomacy (something that I see alot of in these forums) I didn't bemoan my impending loss, nor blame France for my loss. I didn't call it not fair. I've played MUCH less fair games, and not cared (and occasionally cared about that.) I've played with players who went on tilt and sought to punish me for my behavior. I have never played against someone who from go one sought to ensure I lost, without some sort of "reason".
It's a full press game, non-anon game. I'll choose to disregard this.
There was no negotiation. There was an unreasonable demand for me to hand him the game. And then punishment when I failed to give it to him.THC wrote: ↑Wed Oct 06, 2021 9:00 amI call that playing Diplomacy. Not necessarily the best or most logical way to play, but then there's nothing to say that someone has to play logically. Whether something is "unreasonable" or not is a matter of opinion. You've heard of negotiating, right? Start high and negotiate down? Again, not what a lot of players do but that doesn't mean it's unheard of.
Who knows why someone takes that path - could be all sorts of reasons. If someone is going to follow a certain strategy no matter what, the question should be what you can do about it - in the game.
What are you hoping to achieve in the game by bringing it to the forum? Possibly nothing. But you've failed to keep something from a game in that game. I've no respect for that.
Anything of substance? Bring something of substance to the forum and you'll get something of substance back. All you're doing is moaning - so you're getting moaning back. I can see why you've been away from the game.TomareUtsuZo wrote: ↑Tue Oct 05, 2021 2:37 pmLet me ask you the same thing I asked of Mercy, what do you have to add that would be of substance? If I am wrong, I'll listen.
