Re: Blocking / Denying plays
well, it's a forum and not a private conversation. if you don't want negative feedback in a private conversation, i think everybody will grant you that wish. but in a public forum it makes sense to present reasoning for other opinions to whoever might read here. responses are not for you specifically, but to everybody who's interested in the issue.cats1024 wrote: ↑26 July 2026, 20:17 It was clearly written in my original post that no differing opinion or alternative perspective is welcome.

Re: Blocking / Denying plays
A quick reply. As per my previous post, I already said no alternative perspectives are welcome. It follows that I am obliged to RT all those who did, and you are also flagged as intentionally trying to antagonise me.
Re: Blocking / Denying plays
I don't think this is the hobby for you bud
Re: Blocking / Denying plays
Have you considered that you are very average in this game and cannot see someone else's strategy executed by taking something that you believe is only for blocking you? I can see you're good at some games, but clearly not as good at this one with 100 ELO.
I see the difference in my own playing - how good/bad I am in different games. While learning a new game, I get to be frustrated sometimes thinking that others have more luck and get the tiles/card/whatever that they have been counting on, while I don't. At some point, I realize that they simply had a better strategy that myself and this is how you learn... by observing better players.
Additionally, in QG there is a rule that you're loosing points when you have some tiles/gardens left in the end. How do you see that someone takes a tile to block you? Are they doing it to get a minus points in the end by keeping a tile that you haven't gotten? When they play that exact tile they earn points. Even an "empty" garden scores with a point for the garden. Or it could have been that someone "blocked" you by taking something as they counted on some luck to get some of the same type. In the end there was no luck to get it so they end up with having 2 tiles only and not scoring them.

Re: Blocking / Denying plays
I think you're overthinking 'fairness'. Let's make it simpler.
Ever played chess? How do you normally bend the rules there, if no-one is to take your assets?
Is it usefull to place a statement here and disregard discussion or opinions if you're actually trying to alter the game-rules.
In order to play a game a different way, you need to convince other people, at least the game makers that your rules are better than the original.
If you don't want other people involved in your (solo) conversation, or make progress with your own game-style, then what's the use of starting the conversation in the first place?

Re: Blocking / Denying plays
Also, if I'm losing, I require my opponent to concede in the fourth round. Thank you.
Re: Blocking / Denying plays
I am extremely offended by this post. For several minutes, I genuinely believed I had encountered a completely unreasonable person, only to discover that I had been manipulated into enjoying an exceptionally committed piece of satire.
