kinda wild that we are expected to not block each other in arena games

Post by moonblood00 »

i know the other thread's been taking off but just wanted to make a case that if we are playing at the arena level it's a little much to expect other players to not block you. and if you don't like that kind of a game play it might be prudent to make a group at https://boardgamearena.com/community that would allow you to play with other players (at least in the non arena mode) who are also against blocking - because it's honestly not fun for any players when the moves of one are seen as unfair.

Don't worry, you can just laugh at them.

On the old iPad app, I was sworn at for 'blocking' someone - and I actually needed that section of route! It just so happened that we both needed the same spot.

Blocking is totally fine - I usually don't do it though.

Arena is the place where I would expect blocking. And I hate sabotage block players in regular for fun games.

The good thing is that you can leave your friendly mode games without a penalty when opponents starts blocking.

Blockers are very, very small players who use a legal rule to win, but they don't like this game and deserve nothing but contempt, they don't deserve respect. There should be a way to report them. I could have named people in this forum, but I risk being banned; they're really not worth it.

While it is good that you are afraid to be banned for cheating, it is better to avoid cheating entirely. Please stop it with your underhanded tactics and become a fair player that can be a respectable member of the community.

Once again...

If on my turn, I have two options:

1. Finish a 5 point ticket

2. Stop you from completing a 20+ point ticket.

Why the heck would I do the first one?

Whiners are very, very small players who use their supposed "right to have fun" to block the use of a legal rule, but they don't like this game and deserve nothing but contempt, they don't deserve respect. There should be a way to report them.

You don't like playing by the rules? You want to report someone for playing by the rules?
