Players losing on porpuse

Post by GonzaloDLPG »

What do you think about this way of playing? I gave this player a clue and he discarded a card (its couple was out and he should have known that), after telling him about that mistake, he started to playing cards for losinig the game intentionally. Should be a way to report this kind of behaviour, shouldn't it?

We don't know what game you are talking about (Hanabi?) so it's hard to fully understand the situation.

The player didn't appreciate your criticism. I'm not defending them, but I'm not shocked someone did this.

There is a specific forum for Hanabi. The playing community for it here on BGA is quite toxic and so the only real choice is not to play. You can report it if you want, but BGA, probably rightly, has decided it cares about players being unpleasant to other players and about cheating, but not other behaviours.

Afaik there are no moderations for any actions within a game. Kingmaking, losing on purpose, crushing you badly, quitting, playing slow... all of it is not subject of Moderation and no need/use to report it (it's too much effort to judge on that anyway, especially without doubt). Red Thumbing them is your only option. I do that occasionally with Hanabi players like you describe.

This is like clockwork. There has been several of this same topic on a weekly basis here.

None of this is subject to the m word but if your teammate is purposely losing a co op game and you simply express that sort of behavior is problematic then you can be reported
