"Anonymous" in big pot games...
People can figure out who is who too easily using log-on status. Maybe log-on status should be eliminated, or made optional to the players.

How to spot a cheater
Hi, is there any way to spot someone with a double account, and if you do where can you report it?
Also, is there a way to search the forum, because i'm probably not the first one to ask this question.

Full Disclosure Game
This is a preliminary search to find players that would be interested in playing in a "model" game (or several) in which the game would be played normally but at the end, everyone submits their press to me and I would format it in an easy-to-read document so that everyone could see the press throughout the game and the map pics to show how everyone's press influenced the game. Not sure as to when it would start, but I'm checking for interest.

Do I owe anyone else a game, other than redhouse1938?
Looks like I joined martinck1's Top 50 GR game two, so I might as well have a second game on the books. WTA, 48 hour phases, classic, full press, I'm thinking 114 point buy-in. If I owe you a game, please remind me, my memory is crap.

I've been an asshole, and I am sorry.
WebDiplo members,

I wanted to take a minute to apologize to the multitude of players in here whom I have offended.

MichiganMan (5121 D)
25 May 12 UTC
I have been a complete an utter jackass. I've been foul mouthed, insulting, and anything but a person that I am proud to be. It has come to my attention that this is my reputation in here, and am I am deeply embarrassed -- not because I know, because I've known for a while, but because I continued to act like a douche bag despite people trying to give me a friendly hint.

I have no excuse for my behavior.

As I said, I've know that my reputation as a jackass was growing, but there was something about tonight's game with Spa13rkY and xpedior that was a "rock bottom" moment for me. I cannot put my finger on what it was, but I suddenly was hit with months of shame for my behavior.

Further, it xpedior indicated that I'm known as a player who ascended to the upper ranks by winning games where there were CD's. I don't recall that being the case as I am usually VERY sensitive to this issue, but then I've played so many, I cannot say for certain that it never happened. I try to be as diligent as possible in voting draw/cancel the moment I see there is a CD -- many times even before the first move is logged. Actually, that was the point of contention between xpedior and I in tonight's game.

Lastly, I guess I'm known as a player that quits. Drauger got on me early on about that. I worked very hard on that for a long time, and got it under control. Honestly, I just love the game so much that I want to play all the time, and I start games when I shouldn't as something invariably comes up. Again, I am sorry. I know how much it pisses people off. Obviously I cannot be quitting them all as I have 821 games under my belt. It is never my intention to quit a game once I've started. But, since I only play live games, it does happen from time to time -- especially when there is a CD and the other.

I am ashamed of all these things, but I truly do love this game and am so thankful for a forum filled with other people that love it as much as I do. I don't deserve to be in here with you good folks. I think I should take a hiatus, maybe have my account erased and start over when I can learn to control myself. I have shamed myself, and the site as a whole.

Please accept my apologies.

Sincerely,
MichiganMan

@MM,

Before I say anything else, please hear this: don't quit.

Take a hiatus if you need to and get your priorities in order. I've talked to you about not CDing before (it was a long time ago when I used to play live games) and I think as long as you prioritize and only join when you know you have time and not impulsively during work or something, then things will probably improve significantly.

That "clique" included both parties whose nicknames were put into question, so I doubt either of them minds.

Thank you for the apology, MIman. I hope you get things under control without having to quit. As you say, you love the game, and it would be sad if you felt forced to quit playing it. As MM / zultar said, if you take a brief break and/or think over how to get things together, and start treating people better, I think they'll move on from the past very quickly.

I for one don't want to tarnish the mans bad-boy rep that has taken him ages to build up but he is one of the only people to ever pm me after a game and congratulate me on winning (I still have to apologise for last nights CD but that's another issue and I'll deal with that later).
He is also given me the most abuse (well about the same as Krellin and Sarg).
Bad people can be good sometimes and vice versa but he's a committed gunboater so I think he's alright...... I'd probably kill him if we met but not until we'd had a couple of games of F2F Diplo and a crate of Millers Genuine Draft :-)

MichiganMan, before saying anything, I want to just state that I mean to be constructive but honest, not just confrontational, so please finish reading this even if I'm harsh. As someone who has played quite a few games with you in it, I've been appalled by your habit of quitting. I may have just been randomly more exposed to that behaviour, but it's what I've associated you with for a long time. I don't have the time to check my history, but I think that you've gone CD in about 10 of my games. It's gotten to the point where you are one of the people on my avoid list, which means that before joining an anonymous live game, I check my list to see if any of those players are online, and if they are, I just don't join. I don't mean this only as an attack, I just want to say what kind of an impact it has had on me who loves the game. To have good games, I have to pass a lot of them up.

I'm more than willing to give you a second chance though, and I'll stop avoiding you if you PROMISE to NOT join unless you're CERTAIN that you have the time. I put hours into live games, and a lot of intellectual energy that is completely wasted when someone quits. You have 73 resigns, and those don't even cover the times you've gone CD and been defeated. But if you make an honest effort to stay in games you join, I'd be happy to play with you in the future.
