alright well don't be surprised when nothing comes out of your report.

take it as a lesson that people have different points of view of what is "optimal" or "good play" - and that if you disagree that doesn't make them mafia, ok?

because that's the big lesson you should be taking from this - that you shouldn't project yourself on others :P

Trusting Enchant was just legitimately a good move.
Even in a world where trusting 3 different people is a valid strategy, doing it within an hour of replace in was blatantly griefing.

It's definitely not my style (you might have noticed, I'm kind of slow paced these days :P), but definitely falls in the realm of personality and playstyle differences.

It's defensible, but I also think it's totally fair if you'd rather not expose yourself to it.

I'll agree to disagree and leave litigating it to the proper forum for it. I can't in good faith tell Koba not to respond to me if I'm publicly posting about it as well.

Weird playing this mechanic after popcorn, traded a setup where players have virtually no agency for one where any player can blow the game at any time. Wild

Still, GG. I might we'll have trusted Infy D1 if koba hadn't stolen my quicktrust thunder

look dude - I was a moderator for Epicmafia near the tail end of its lifecycle, moderating gamethrow was part of it.

I saw some batshit insane stupid plays that flopped horribly.(think what i did in this game but like 10x worse)

But the person doing them was trying to use it to win.

Ergo - not gamethrow, as long as it isn't a pattern.



yes we use the word "throwing" to describe people doing bad plays, but from a rules perspective, gamethrow has and always should be defined as intentionally playing against wincon. For some that can include intentionally making a move that will guarantee a negative outcome that is severe, such as shooting outside of clears when that would put the number of clears at majority(which is autowin) - but overall, unorthodox plays will never, and should never, be classed as gamethrow.

Feel free to report anything you find breaks the rules, just don't be surprised that playing the game is not considered against the rules.

I feel you. There's two factors to it, I think.
firstly: in an ideal world, this
could
have played out differently. if we had more time, maybe possibly perhaps we
might
not have gotten absolutely steamrolled.
secondly: we got absolutely steamrolled.

credit to Inf and Meg, their approaches to the game were strong and we weren't sharp enough to anticipate that they were scum approaches. just well played.
learning from losses is really healthy though. you're a cool player, and it's neat that you're learning. i learned a bit even just from my first-impression reads of people while i was in the game.

pedit: +1 skitter as always

It's a game, man. Take a breath and take a step back, if you're not having fun what's the point?

You'll do better in the next one. You weren't the only one fooled!
