Ok so whos idea was it that when there a dominant 1'st place... and 2 2'nd place flags.. and a 3rd flag and a 4'th flag and 5'th flag... that its "fair" to have a "roll off" in which both parties roll ONE TIME and the winner gets 2nd and the loser gets 6!?!?!?!?!?
this didn't even happen to me but i watched it at a 100 table...it was retarded... since when did this roll off nonsense start? |

at 1:39 AM, Wednesday March 4, 2009 EST a roll off is alright, when it saves you a bunch of time. i mean seriously, 8v8ing through a tight path can be quite boring.
but letting a rolloff decide for 2nd or 6TH is bullshit |

at 3:55 AM, Wednesday March 4, 2009 EST If the 2 2nds really clearly are stronger than the rest, maybe top3 needs to kill the small players in order of flags and then have a roll off for 2/3
A better option for the 2 2nds would be to revolt against a 1st who wants them to roll off for 2/6 and try take 1/2 instead |

What's the problem if both players cant reach each other and both agree? If one player did't agree they could have reflagged and fought for a lower place. |

at 5:23 AM, Wednesday March 4, 2009 EST Yeah having it for that much difference in placing is pretty crappy. I have no problems employing it when two people are fighting for the same place, are of similar size and have no way of realistically battling each other though.

at 11:45 AM, Wednesday March 4, 2009 EST Well, I was just in a tournament. I was in fifth and I was fighting a guy who flagged third. I beat hm, but he's got two islands across the map. For some reason, they said that he flagged first, so he deserves third, despite the fact that I was stronger. The took me out, even though we should have rolled off.
That's why we roll off. |

no dishing out places, no end game politics, no bullshit! anonymity is the only way this game will ever pick itself up n stop falling flat on it's arse. let's be fair guys, kinda heading that way! before all the ppl start whinging on bout "but i have friends"... how many players actually came here to make friends? will it make that much of a difference if u never speak to someone from this site again? if the answers yes, then u seriously need to get out more...seek help. this is a game that SHOULD be played to win (like dicewars) awe |
