Stop people from leaving games

BoBo The Fool · 12-01-2003, 02:40 PM

I'm personally pretty annoyed with people constantly leaving games. My record is in the area of 25 wins and 1 loss, and i think i may have actually completed about 3 games. There needs to be some sort of encouragement to stay to the end of a game, or some sort os discouragment for leaving in the middle of one. Either keeping track of how many times you drop out and displaying them to all other players, or count dropping out as 2 losses or something.

Ok... i've played at least 5 games today since that last post and not one of my opponents stayed for more than 3 or 4 moves. What the hell is going on here? Am i that good that people admit defeat so soon? Is the server too busy and dropping people? Either way it's incredibly annoying.

my record is now 36:1 .... still only completed about 3 games

now u have to Relize people arnt quiting or dropping out on purpose its a problem with there connection for some reason when i was over my Cuz's i kept getting disconnected (cuase he has a shitty cable conn) and i ended up losing like 12 battles without ever completing one this is more annoying to people who lose conn to those who win the battles

Punctuation rainhart!! took me like 5 minutes to read your reply

well, in any case, i think it'd be usefull to display how many times someone leaves a game, even if it isn't intentional. I don't want to play with people who keep dropping whether it's their fault or not.

I think you just have bad luck lol

Besides if someone leaves, u get a win. If you are really serious about playing this games, come to Great Lakes, people rarely leave games on this server.

BTW, what server are you on currently?

BoBo The Fool · 12-01-2003, 05:13 PM

Banff

well, i'd like to take my record seriously, but it's kinda hard when they're handing out wins like this. I'm barely working for any of my wins at all

BoBo The Fool · 12-01-2003, 05:22 PM

Just played in great lakes.... first guy i played left after about 7 or 8 moves

maybe it's just me....

Bills · 12-01-2003, 06:58 PM

So you beat your first guy in 7 or 8 moves...what's the big deal?

Stinky Monkey · 12-01-2003, 07:28 PM

LOL, I can see very few people doing that...

BoBo The Fool · 12-02-2003, 01:45 AM

yeah, ha ha ... everyone thinks it's so great to get an easy win. I don't think you're getting my situation. I've completed 3 of 36 games. I don't think most people would have the patience that i do to play a game where people leave in the middle over 90% of the time. Do you think it's fun? Do you think it makes the game better? Do you think all i want is a pretty record? I want to play the f*cking game and i can't kill more than 2 or maybe 3 of their guys before they quit.

If i want to see a nice win/loss record it'd be more satisfying to take a pencil and write the numbers 100000:1 on a piece of paper and show it to everyone.

this IS a serious problem

fight better people.

fight people, in particular, with a positive record... works for me...

Bills · 12-02-2003, 02:25 AM

We do think it is a problem but most people are new at this game and leave, try fighting a Gold Account member.
