True, By not kicking either player, I basically emboldened them to continue their annoying behavior. By not kicking the player, they receive no penalty to their karma and the number displaying on their reputation for recent penalties won't increase. So players getting a pass like this also does a d...

https://i.ibb.co/wZWFC0qs/IMG-6674.jpg I’m organizing an in-person Ticket to Ride tournament for 48 of the world’s top players, tentatively planned for October 2, 2027 in Amsterdam. Invitations will initially go to the BGA Top 100 as of December 31, 2026. The main event will be 48 players, 1 vs. 1,...

I have encountered an increase in opponents who concede. The problem with this action is that Yahtzee is more a game in which one plays against themselves.....attempting to reach the highest score. It's also not a ton of fun to not be able to finish a high scoring game. Can the concede option be de...

To those who've blocked him: You don't know what you're missing! :D It's really quite peaceful. There's no point arguing with this person any more. I presented a scenario in which every public establishment in which games are played in real life would expel a player, and was told I am not "saf...

On the conditions that the other player agreed to and violated. That's your interpretation of the time settings, though. Sure, me choosing a time setting generally means I expect a game to be played at a certain speed. But I don't think that makes me immune from criticism if I choose to leave the g...

[In your example, it seems that your opponent is unconditionally committed to the game. It is genuinely beyond all logic to make this statement. I gave an example in which a player was doing anything except playing the game, coming back only when called out on their behavior, and then continuing th...

Their interest was conditional. On the conditions that the other player agreed to and violated. I am 100%, absolutely saying that I am not interested in playing with a player that does not respect me, my time, or the rules we agreed to play by. My example is a perfect example. You care about the RE...

If you want people to be warned about players who go out of time, you should support my suggestion to make it possible to penalize players without affecting the game result. I’d be totally down with that. No, I really don't have to support that suggestion. If a player is going to waste my time and ...

What matters to some is that a player does not play at the pace that was agreed on and the only way for other people to be warned of this behavior is the reputation hit they receive from being expelled. Right, but that's a problem independent from the matter of who should win the game. That's why I...

In that case they care more about winning/losing than about proving who's best. But that's the incoherence I pointed out in the other thread. If to them winning is just an announcement that says they won, not a result of what they actually achieved in the game, then what does it even mean to win so...
