MP Setsumi - Come for the game, stay for the drama! - Page 38

What can one learn about this scenario, please tell me? Other than 'dont join games with Ermor and lots of noobs'? Diplomacy DOES NOT WORK in such situations. Believe me, I tried hard. You already wrote the reasons why it doesnt work, as Quitty did before you.

'Other people' and 'me'. Well, well. Did you, per chance, play DotA in WCIII? Good players tend to play in closed, or semi-closed, leagues - because playing with leavers and feeders who compose majority of public games is just not fun. So there should either be some rules, like 'dont play vassal to another player least you break game balance', in order for the games to be competitive and enjoyable for all, not just these allying players, or there should be closed games, black lists etc.
Or, you know, I can make a couple of alts and start joining games to ruin them in some way or another, mimicing SciencePro. I doubt anyone would like it.

And how should I encourage said noob whp backstabs me belching nonsense while I try to fight a grown LA Ermor?

As for coordinated alliance against Ermor really isn't that bright move', you see, alternative is 'just lose'. This game is a perfect illustration; its like sitting on a time bomb. You can try to diffuse it, as costly as it may be, or just wait till it blows up and you all die.

I dont have a problem with LA Ermor by itself. I dont have a problem with players rolling over noobs by themselves. There's a problem with one particular scenario - LA Ermor rolls over noobs, who get scared and do nothing about him. Its an assured victory for Ermor, and a guaranteed loss to whoever is unfortunate enough to respawn too far from him. Especially when said noobs actually ally with him and start helping him win actively.

I am all up for ending the drama and playing, but every second turn somebody starts the 'lets end the game' theme again.

Just as a side note - when the rollback happened I erased all earlier orders and redid my turn from the beginning.

I assumed I was domkilled by a massed Melancholie when I didnt get another turn, thats why I didnt look here again. I have no idea why Marignon was still set to AI after the rollback. Not that it would have mattered, but I did not intend to simply bail out of this game.

Ossa:

Too bad... well, not really bad for me as I get cheap provs, but for the game as whole.

Kuritza:

You are the one making that drama. You are the one that is unhappy about the game. You seem to have troubles with the existence of Setsumi. You still claim that Ermor is uber and unstoppable. So isn't your approach contradictory? Trying to fight me when you know you can't win? Admit it, you just want more drama here and entertainment for people that read that thread

Didnt you notice that I am making the drama only when somebody says 'lets close the game' for the 10th time?
I still claim that FACTS tell us Ermor is overpowered. But I still think I'd have a very fair chance against you had this idiot not backstabbed me. And even then there's probably a good fight ahead because he cant even ruin games properly. Actually, I looked forward to fighting Ermor when I joined this game, fully knowing that Ermor is overpowered, for the challenge of it.
But admit it, you made your 'proclamation' because you wanted to provoke more drama and entertain these people who read this thread?

Can we postpone it by 24 hours?

Zeldor · #**376** December 17th, 2009, 05:29 PM

Juffos is on irc [or idle?], I will forward, 24h more will be cool for me too.

Or maybe you could surrender instead? If you thought you are doing fine and limiting my army, you are wrong - it's just display limit of 32k, it's still growing

Kuritza · #**377** December 18th, 2009, 12:15 AM

I dont think anything can limit LA Ermor's army when he is so overgrown. But the only thing that troubles me is that harmonica/virtue combo. Now that will stale my campaign for the next few turns... but its not uncounterable too.
Although very, very nice. Grats.

Oh, that is a nice idea!

Kuritza · #**379** December 31st, 2009, 02:37 AM

By the way, I am leaving for a vacation trip for two weeks again. So... please postpone it or close, for all I care.
Happy New Year etc.

I have no problem with that. BTW, your resistance is futile.
