You made yourself go in serious trouble , blame yourself for posting this thread

serious trouble?

I was wondering what those black helicopters were doing circling my house.

the Clock Nazis will be rappelling into my window at any moment.

I will never understand how people can complain about others playing within the defined constructs of the game. Since when is it poor play to follow the rules of the game?!df

good players dont boot, there is really no more to say

Welll ... erm thay do only at specefic times

Myhand, that is neither here nor there. The question isn't whether good players boot... The question is whether or not booting is acceptable. Clearly it is given the fact that it is designed into the game. If it were not acceptable it wouldn't be a part of the game!

Personally I only play games where direct and auto are the same so I can't ever boot. That said, if I were to play a game where that was not the case and was booted I would blame one person and only one person... Myself.

If you set the autoboot time equal to the direct boot time then the computer will boot the person on the right time, problem solved.
Not that I'm in to the real-time games anymore, because it takes far too long

Willem,

setting the autoboot to match the direct boot does NOT solve the problem.

why? because the minimum auto-boot is 5 minutes. That's enough time to allow a sore loser to drag the game out to over an hour if they choose.


Richard,

you nailed it.

so if you won and you dont want to play anymore, because you know you won, why dont just surrender and blacklist?

Why do you force upon yourself half an hour of wasted time and feeling bad, for only a win more and a loss less in your statistic.

It makes no sense. Your whole approach is wrong. Good players know that. They join the games to play, not to look at their stats.

Generally, a good player would not play someone who acts like a dick that badly anyway.

myhand,

it's clear from your statistics that you don't play pick-up games. If you did, you would know that players who are clearly beaten will often drag the game out as long as they can hoping the winner will just drop for lack of time or out of boredom.

Random games are quite different than the games with cherry-picked opponents and stacked teams that you play.

If... you ... hadnt .... made..... this ..... thread u ..... woldunt be ......in so kuch ..... truoble!

what trouble?

ugh

a 'good' thing? a 'right' action? There you go again attributing some kind of morality to the landscape. It's neither good nor bad. The landscape doesn't care. It just is.


In any timed competition, one side is often happy to see the clock run out. Whether it is 'right' or 'wrong' that the clock should run out is not part of the equation.

the time constraint is PART OF THE GAME

the clock is part of the measure of the skill of a player

it is impossible to discuss with you, as you just repeat your only argument "it is like it is"
and dont defend against my argument "it doesn't follow, that it ought to be so"

poor taxidriver

Wtf we still arguing?

I'm not sure, he's being so cryptic.

He's not being cryptic, you just lack the required comprehension skills to understand his point.

It's philosophy.
