Withdrawing from a League with no Honor

[StrategicKingMi]

Not to worry, Alexander, I doubt that it would be interesting as a vast majority of the time I would bury you.
Empty people make useless insults.
And their are many out there that enjoy games with me cause they know, things being equal they will have to work extremely hard and think and be creative to win.
And if that is being a fool, thier is no fool like a Strat fool.

Good - I couldn't stand all the restarts. Boo Hoo StrategicFool!

As long as they are consistent... sounds ok to me.
I can understand if you are playing in a ladder that they would want at least a reasonable start. As long as people agree up front... that's cool.

When I duel with war, we may start a lot of times until we both agree that neither is screwed. Otherwise, we are just going to waste a few hours going through the motions... and it's not fun

[StrategicKingMi]

My God, has Hell froozen over? Has France agreed to attack Iraq? Ming made a lucide and inteligent argument and understands the entire point of this thread and agrees with The King.
God forbid whats next? We actually play a game of Civ vs each other??

[Ming]

I only agree if it is a consistent rule excepted by all in the ladder, or you agreed up front

If indeed that is you general honorable style of play (which seems to be the case from what people say) I would hope others would follow your lead. If the other person was aware of this and is just whining... shame on him. If the other person wasn't aware up front, then it's just a matter of miscommunication.

And again, I doubt we will ever play, because we both can't stand the settings the other uses While you may play for glory, to me, it's only a hobby, so I play with my friends who can stomach the same settings
I want to have fun when I play...

[MalevolentLight]

Don't you mean lewd, not lucide? What else could "When I duel with war, we may start a lot of times until we both agree that neither is screwed. Otherwise, we are just going to waste a few hours going through the motions... and it's not fun" possibly mean?

EYES...

From his posts it seems Strate would be happier finding a group like Mings, albeit one that plays 2x2x King. It is a shame, but make the game 'serious' by playing on the ladder and players aren't going to always play for fun, and restart when the other player is screwed........that is to be expected.

In duels it's easier to have a restart rule. In a four man game it would take forever before someone wouldn't want one.

Even so IIRC you have said several times that you restarted because someone's 1st or 2nd settler got mashed early on.

I guess some pigs are more equal then others then

[rah]

When it's a unanimous, yes. But not everyone always agrees so I couldn't call it a rule. More of an agreement.

[MartinMS600]

Thats what we all want to have, all day - all night.

[MartinMS600]

Fun!

[MartinMS600]

I don´t need this rule if i play with players which want fun in a good game. Who need wins in 3600? Who can say iam proud of it or i earned these points by playing smart strategies. If u need it - take it. But don´t call the other a loser.
It´s not a question of rules its a question of honor i agree in this terms to strate.
(will i get banned for this? Hope not.)
