Friendly or not friendly?

Post by StuAck »

I have been in a few games were there has been friendly robber…, BUT as soon as this friendly „rule“ is not done the other players perform kingmaking activities….

BASICALLY what I am saying… deciding to play friendly robber needs to be done before any pieces are placed on the board… not 10 rounds into the game.

This is dry frustrating… as players collect cards (maybe points), make roads, cutting other people before 3 points is achieved…

So I ask, FRIENDLY or not?

I prefer not friendly.

I play friendly. Unless someone robs me first.

I only play friendly because I am sick and tired of the complainers out there who freak out when they get robbed. They tend to go ballistic and then do everything in their power to just screw up your game without caring about the final outcome.

My choices were either just play friendly, or stop playing all together.

Yeah, a few people have blown up on me for hitting them with the robber when it comes out early, saying that's it's common etiquette in the game to not do it until 3 points, but then I see intentionally blocking in one player and essentially removing them from the game aaaaaall the time and that's just fine?

one player told me the other day, in a not FR table, that is common rule and the settings do not count.

And it became a 2vs1

And it is fun because I pay for premium and then I have people ruining my experience and I can only abandon or take the sheep and shut up.

So cool

Not. I wrote about this many times. It is against the essence of the game.

If it is not mandatory (in the setting) do not play friendly. Cause the one who ask for it doesn't even respect it.they will block a tile you're on even if you have two points if you share it with the other player that has 3( that's the most basic move not respecting friendly) and sometimes basically just stealing from you cause they changed their mind. This game is about stealing any complaints about it should be forbidden.... Or at least we should be able to turn off the chat and not have to witness the player who is winning complaining about you stealing him with those annoying ????
