What I have to think, is I know Heat was almost certainly an extreme case of this, hence why it got the changes it did, but I have to think this pattern, especially in tournaments isn't uncommon. Yeah, I think this is very game dependent. In a game like Heat, where like I explained earlier dropping...

Yeah. I remember Razor talking about the issues with heat constantly in forums. On several different occasions I checked the 100 most recent Heat games. And every time there was a quit rate of 20-25%. They fixed that problem and I’m sure Heat players are much happier now than before. That's the thi...

I feel this might encourage bullying players to get them to drop out in some interactive games, giving remaining players massive advantages depending on their map position etc. But why would people cede to the bullying anymore than they currently do? I mean, you can already bully a player by tellin...

I don't think RazorOz is saying that tournaments should go on indefinitely, what they meant is that the game could continue after someone has dropped out (whether by quitting or by being expelled). That's how it works currently in Heat and they've been pushing for it to be implemented in other games.

I've never played any tournaments here, so, I'm not exaggerating; rather, I just don't have any experience in knowing how often these issues occur. Often enough for threads to periodically appear in which extensive discussion occurs. I wouldn't want to play in a tournament that has even the possibi...

Option to have game plays to conclusion regardless is what is needed. It will be a better method on most games, it also stops what often happens where a player knows they've lost so times someone out at the end to save their skin, so you get less timeouts to begin with. Unless there is absolutely z...

OP said they were planning to quit a game, so the discussion went into whether this is okay to do and how the different alternatives can be handled. Yes, generally topics that ask a question don't require anything more than an answer. But there are some notable exceptions. If someone started a threa...

How's the saying go? If you meet someone who disagrees with you you met someone you disagree with. If *everyone* disagrees with you consider that you might be wrong? Something like that... The person who came up with that saying evidently didn't put much thought into it. It's very possible that eve...

Sometimes i'm wondering why you hijack all topics ? Luckily someone answered the original question long ago. Yes, they did. Are posts that ask a question supposed to stick to answering the question, or are developments allowed as long as they fit the topic? And if someone asks help on how to do som...

I think it's the "pull up a chair at your table" part that may have created confusion on whether this is talking about games we've played in real life.
