Battlefield spell + retreating?

Actually, that's wrong.

Logical arguments are supported by evidence, and thus the weight of the evidence determines who wins.

Riiiiight.

I haven't taken part in this thread. I just want to state for the record that K is apparently taking that I consier MoD + retreat even without any other spells to inflict damage to be an exploit and a 'lame' tactic and I have no interest in playing against someone who uses it.

Then play in a game that explicitly has rules against it. There are seven out of 37 playing now, so you won't be alone. You are just in the minority.

Heck, I might even join you. I follow all rules set by the admin. For the record, I've never taken the position that people should violate agreements.

I just advise you to take a little responsibility and don't expect people to read your mind about what you consider "lame."

[Gandalf Parker]

Lame is a term I can accept. Which I would still consider different than cheat.

I recommend that games specify at the beginning what can and cannot be done. Even if its to refer to something such as "nothing in Red in Edi's buglist"

Some games such as Velusians used a MOD to make somethings unusable. Would it be bettr to take MoD completely out of a game?

[DonCorazon]

Well at least 1 out of the 30 w/o explicit rules against it (Alexandria) had implict rules against it, which we have just made explicit.

We confirmed that we were all playing under the assumption that MoD - retreat was an abusive tactic and not in the spirit of the game.

In the future it probably makes sense to clarify up front as you never know who is in the game.

Ironically, check Figment, looks like MoD just got banned there too.

K, you're data set is shrinking!!!

[Gandalf Parker]

Figment is what I asked.
It has a MOD in place and I think that a change can be made to it to remove MoD from the game and still allow the game to continue

I don't remember asking for your advice. I probably won't be playing any games with you K, just based on the way you've acted in several threads I've read. It could happen we're in the same game though, where I'm sure we'd both follow the rules.

And I think that's great. I'm sure that it's going to keep a lot of problems out of your game.

Now we're up to 9 out 37.

Willing or not, you've all been part of my personal crusade to clarify this issue and make MP less contentious by having explicit rules (either pro or con is fine for me).

Considering how quickly and completely I've been personally attacked and demonized, I can now understand why no one has really been willing to draw out the relevant issue. I'll probably have to create a new account just to get people to play in MP with me again.

I'm actually really happy that several games have added these rules as explicit rules in their game as a result of this thread. It means that sacrificing my DomIII reputation was worth the effort.

[Strider]

Having multiple accounts is not acceptable. The Board rules are very clear about this.
