I decide to go enter an empty arena and low and behold a Grey comes in to fight me. They're set up defensively with an assassin and knight on the ends while I'm in my defensive ball.
The game rolls on and apperently he's out doing me. He sneaks pryos in to bother my golems while somehow taking out my cleric with his scout. I'm still holding but I every move seems set up to give him an opening: I use my dragon, he jumps in to kill my armor. I armor and he swipes at my scout. I para and out comes his scout while everything is recovering. So on.
At this point I'm worried that I might lose my first Gold game against a Grey when he starts to talk. His conversation piece? "Press F5 to get another pryo".
WHAT!?
He has a tactical advantage. He can win the match and he's trying to make me quit?!
I resist the urge to cuss him out and remember the forum suggested reply to this "I did it but nothing happened". He says to try again. I say nothing happened, adding to innocence by asking if something should happen (who knows, it might be a silent bonus).
Soon after that, he leaves.
Now, I can see people trying stuff like this when they are clearly losing, or even at the start for a quick win. However, a match that's definatly in your favor and they leave because their 'sneaky trick' fails? Is a fair win so horrible that they won't accept it even if it's handed to them?
Oh well. I keep my track record and I'll now tweak my set up a little more. I REALY want to make this no-knight thing work. Perhaps if I had another Rider.
