Ad-hoc flagging.

Another dumb question from me:

I noticed some players have different interpretations about the flagging system concerning ad-hoc flagging. I looked for it at the forums, but didn't find a thread. So here's the question.

Situation:

A vflagged to B & C.
C & D fighting.

C wins fight, is in first.
D real flags 2nd, attacks B.
B real flags 3rd.

Possible argumentations:

1) A vflagged B (shown 3rd) and C (obvious 1.). So he has to lag out for 4th. Because "he has to finish worse then B.

2) A only flagged B and C, never D. So he still has a shot for 2/4.

Question: What's the common interpretation of that situation? What argumentation makes more sense? I myself much more prefer 2), cause Ad-hoc flagging in my eyes is bullshit. That way, if you vflag somebody who at the end gets 5th, you could do nothing else but lag out for 6th.

I've seen lots of players those days that argument in way 1).

What do you think?

How about giving fair players dirty reviews like:

we truced in a game for 1/2. then he asked me if i would be a black person. i said yes, he answered i would be member of an inferior race and killed me. first class backstabber & racist.

Or this one:

he is a racist, started to talk bad about jews, muslims and black people. when i asked him to stop he called me the n-word and said he would be member of the superian "aryan"-race.

In my humble opinion, you wouldn't fight for 2/4, but a chance to fight 1/4 would make sense. Since B & C have already real flagged for 2nd and 3rd, they should have no problem with you fighting for 1st.

I always try to vflag for a position rather than flag to an opponent (even though I despise vflagging). This makes it much more flexible for me to argue my point later in the game. Instead of vflagging to B & C, I would have said something like "hey, B & C, I flag for 3rd". It leaves your options open.

My advise is to grow up demaja. After that you can ask dumb questions like this which have been posted a thousand times, and we all agree on there is not one right answer...

Thx for your review demaja. I want to highlight a part from that review:

I give people false reviews? Re-read your review on my wall, stop living in your parallel universe and start understanding, that it's not the others that have a strange interpretation about things going on but you... and finally please. Just fuckin' leave me alone, i am really tired of all your unsustainable accusations.

See the prove above! I these arent false reviews then I have to apologise. If these reviews are false accusations then youre still the biggest lying douchebag on kdice

My position on flags is that flagging to a specific person with the understanding that you will take a lower position constitutes a truce. In that case the flag should always be immediately countered, if possible. If the flagger does not agree to accept a lower spot than the flaggee, but considers it merely a pledge not to attack the flaggee unless the flag is dishonored by an attack upon the flagger by the flaggee, then the flag may not need to be countered. Likewise, if the flag is for a position, rather than a submission to a particular person, then the possibility exists that the flagger will end up fighting the flaggee for that position. In that case, the flag does not constitute a truce and does not need to be countered.

The problem is that you never know what viewpoint is maintained by the flagger and the flaggee. So.....early and unreasonable flags should always be countered whenever possible.

tl;dr All flaggotry should be despised and countered whenever humanly possible.
