Re: Quitters at very convenient moments (Kingmaking when the game is already over).

So, if the winning player would win anyway, we call it a win? And if the third player's quitting would allow the second to take over... we call it a tie? And if it's on a Tuesday we replay the game? As I was saying, geniuses and enlightened ones, refrain from commenting. Especially on Tuesdays… the...

Re: Quitters at very convenient moments (Kingmaking when the game is already over).

It has happened again. I don’t play too much, but I encounter players far too often who quit right at the moment of placing the forests after completing the three parameters. It’s getting tiring that the second-place player gets points and ELO for free because BGA decides it’s a tie. I still find it...

Re: Quitters at very convenient moments (Kingmaking when the game is already over).

Let's suppose he didn't do it intentionally. Why does the second-place player receive the same league and Elo points as I do? The game was already decided; only the forests from the last production needed to be placed. Why does the system punish me if I played my game without any incidents? This is ...

Quitters at very convenient moments (Kingmaking when the game is already over).

I have seen many different cases of kingmaking, but the latest one feels especially frustrating and unfair. The system should address the fact that, with 100% of the game completed in ranked matches, the lowest-scoring player can let the time run out to be kicked for exceeding the time limit, allowi...

Re: TM is for Effective Altruists

TM is not a cooperative game since only one corporation can win, not two. Therefore, kingmaking undermines the game in every aspect, providing a bad experience for the affected player. It's fine that you see it as a challenge, but let’s see how you feel about it when it happens to you frequently.
