Don't worry,you'll be in again in the future. As soon as you start respecting your game mates and taking care of your orders instead of chatting on the forum...

Ouch... there is no ill intent, my friend... taking a moment to send a post is not the same as thinking through my moves. I try to give my games and my opponents the attention they deserve, and with three small kids and a sometimes high stress job that means needing the full phase time sometimes. I never save to delay or be an ass. If you need the games to go faster, shorten the phase length... also, I leave myself logged in session during the day... that doesn't mean I am actively on the system... don't be hating on me, friend...

SplitD has spoken - Eunuch is dissin' his compardres ...... you won't get into the top games until you show 'nuff respect mate, you need to grow a pair, maybe even move to Croatia ....... you have been blackballed by the self-appointed King of Dip.
The only gentlemanly thing to do to here is leave the site to minimise the humiliation, to make your shame complete .... join vDip and where the hair shirt.
In 3 years time (when you are living in Split) pop around to the Kings house and beg forgiveness, then maybe he will let you play again.

I'll take it roka if you still need a sub. I don't think I am in the one you are asking about.
@rokakoma finish the game and then leave if you want.Don't ruin the game by leaving the site,it would be ironic as you want to leave the site because someone ruined your game.
rokakoma (19138 D)
12 Feb 14 UTC
Yeah, that's exactly what I wanted to say, how can you expect me not to ruin anyone's game, when others do with mines?

And most of all, I want to have a replacement exactly for that reason not to ruin your game. I think, that's actually a courtesy of mine, finding a proper replacement instead of fucking up your game.

Nigee, the problem is not losing a game. The problem is, I put hours of work every day, sometimes into a single game, to figure out moves years ahead. And then somebody comes and ruins it totally.

It like you are painting your apartment for days, and the moment you are finished, you upper neighbour forget the watertap open, and flushes your entire home. Or when some idiot crashes into you, meanwhile you did everything according to rules, but he is drunk, or unstable, whatever and simply kills your family member.

I take this fucking game seriously, I had only one resign, because of a phone call, I can think 2-3 hours on 1 single move, (which is needed if you want to win high pot games), and so on.

Yet, someone comes and simply destroys weeks of my work put into a game, by sacrifying himself and dragging me down with him. I just cannot stand depending on people who are threatening my life/game/apartment/whatever.

What's the point of playing if I cannot enjoy it? Nothing I guess, so I'm leaving because I cannot join a game, where I can feel safe. (Excluding those top7 games, which I have never had any problem, whatsoever at all, those guys don't do stupid things)

That's all.

I second rokakoma's frustration at times, and it sounds like he simply reached his breaking point. He'll be back, he just needs to blow off steam for a few months or however long it takes.

It's definitely a bigger issue with gunboat over press. Coordinating on the stalemate lines to stop a solo takes a good amount of wherewithal in gunboat, whereas in press I feel it's more on the onus of the solo'er to convince someone they should help him with the solo for one reason or another. One weak gunboat player on the stalemate line does ruin things when you can't directly advise on what seems like the obvious moves to stop the solo.

lack of armies in f2f
i don't get to play face to face games very often, but the last times i did, i noticed that in the board game version (at least the one we played), there is only a limited amount of armies and fleets for every power, namely nine fleets and nine armies. the rulebook suggests (if i remember correctly) that if you run out of armies (or fleets, but that is unlikely) that you have to use fleets instead, which strikes me as a really odd concept. am i missing something? or how do you all handle this?

Opinions on Variants
I'm a relative newbie on the site and have played all but 1 game on the classic map. The one game I am playing on another map (Ancient Med) I am not enjoying it as much. And its not because I am doing terribly, because I am tied for most SCs and have a good ally. I was wondering what the general opinion on the different variants are, as in which is the best and whether you prefer the original map or a variant map as your favorite game. It will be interesting to hear feed back from a lot of you.

Unrated games
They have them on vdip now, and I think we could use them too.

Bet size 0, doesn't affect any stats. This way people can't worry about stats when playing in the Masters for example, making it genuinely only about the tournament without having to cancel. Just one of many reasons to introduce this.
