Very interesting phenomena that happened this past week or so.
Getting bombarded with Friend Requests from people with Standard Accounts wanting to play Zombicide.
I accepted several of them, and am starting to regret it.
A few of them were from people who read our posts on this forum thread, and I am giving them a chance and the benefit of the doubt.
But many were just totally random strangers. And I have now found that many of them are horrid Zombicide players who shoot people in the back, open the wrong doors at the wrong times, stand around in the middle of the street to get killed, etc. All the indications of very BAD Zombicide players who don't have any idea on how to play the game to survive with their Survivors, ... and rather treat the game as a scavenger hunt for red weapons with no concept of strategically playing the game to survive for the long haul and overcome and achieve the victory conditions of the mission.
So now I am in the process of identifying these losers who get Actors killed by their own uninformed decisions, and are definitely NOT up to the higher caliber of play of the vast majority of my Zombicide "friends."
I have already had to Red Thumb and remove from "Friend List" some of these people.
I feel embarassed for even letting some of them in to games with my usual Zombicide friends (because of their horrid play).
Anyone else experiencing this phenomena? .... Standard Accounts trying to leach onto your Premium Account ability to play Zombicide?
P.S. Me and my group of friends do not chastise each other for an occasional "honest mistake." We all make a mistake occasionally, myself included of course. But when I suspect that a Zombicide player is not playing competently, I research their game history (to include going to replays of their games) to determine if THEY are the actual causes of their constant losses in the game. And sometimes I find players out there that constantly shoot friendly Actors in the back (they never learn), or constantly hang out in the middle of the street to get killed by zombies (they never learn), or constantly open doors that should not be opened, etc ... THAT is when they get the red thumb and removed from "friend list."
P.P.S. I have nothing against people with Standard Accounts. Many of my Zombicide friends have Standard Accounts and that doesn't change that they are great people to play Zombicide with (we became Zombicide "friends" during Beta). And I also have no qualms with playing with other people with Standard Accounts, but I do have a certain expectation on the caliber of play of the players I play games with.
