Has anyone been bullied into drawing a game when they were winning? This recently happened to me, and although the men I was playing with claim this is not the case, I really feel it was. One player decided to gang up on me and the rest joined in until I caved. I know its fair to vote in favour of the majority, but the only person it seemed to hurt was me.
If you thought you could win, why didn't you stay and fight? If you couldn't win against everyone, you would be eliminated if they all got together against you. On the other hand, I see no united moves against you either.
I'm not sure I understand the premise. If you were going to win, and someone 'forced' a draw, good for them. A draw is better than a loss, so that's what they should be doing.
looking at the game-play that was a rather crazy game.
Russia looks like it was the big power for a long time, but didn't have any decent alliances. Austria was sitting in the balkans with italy attacking france, not wanting to hurt italy because france was threatening his borders and with russia sitting beside it. the obvious german france alliance made france very powerful, but germany didn't do enough to stop russia in scandanavia, and never really advanced until the french started helping...
as always russia and germany come to blows in every game (unless one is eliminated before they have a chance) this time there would have been no russia german allinace, and nothing else could have really stopped france, apart from the draw...
I'm sorry Persephone, but if your rivals managed to talk you into a draw, when you were in a position from which you were likely to win, then all credit to them. In what way do you feel you were "bullied"?
I have read the global chat from your game and, while there were a few insults traded, you were just as guilty of that as anyone else. Unless there was more in the private country-to-country chat, I don't see how you were "bullied". You should have kept going for the win.
Thanks everyone, your comments were very helpful. I will take these into account in the future. I was under the impression that if I didn't draw when it was a majority vote that I would be the 'bad one'. But it seems I was just conned.
Bullying is as valid a tactic as any other. And, jarrah, there is nothing wrong with rude and insulting in game to get your way. Technically, there is nothing against the rules with be sexist, racist, homophobic, or any other -ist or -ic to get your way.
that was an awesome 'global tab'... i loved it. and yes, you were conned... you should have cajoled everyone to at least think a 3-way draw was possible without AH... then used that as an excuse to get yourself into position to stab Germany for the win.
really, props to AH for planting the seed and to Russia for picking up the idea and running with it. it saved them both from a potential French solo.
hey ghostmaker i was just checking the leagues at http://phpdiplomacy.tournaments.googlepages.com/thephpleague is there any way to participate in any of them? i'm really interested in this.
Exactly what is it? Is it always unacceptable? Are some forms acceptable? Or just unavoidable? Is it possible to make rules to stop the most pernicious forms of metagaming?
I like to look at the message counter when choosing opponents. I prefer playing the chattier players. I was over 800 the las time I checked and now I am back to 0. Did I break my counter??? No I know better, but will that be back up?
It's that time of year again- when America straps on the helmets, teams start towards the Superbowl, and the rest of the world asks: 1. Why are Americans so crude? 2. They call THAT violence? Should see a England-Germany match! ;) My Picks inside...
Hi everyone, I'd love to start a game with the above specs... But as I don't have enough points due to the silly rules, if anyone would like to start it, I promise to be the first to join!! Cheers.
I'll join if I get the password! (I'm relatively new, and I don't know any other way of getting the password - apologies if I'm breaching a protocol; if there's another way of getting passwords, please let me know.)
I've been getting 0.9x ready for release now that the bug count is starting to decrease, with comments and optimizations, see inside for details and to post bugs.
Does the computer automatically help a leaver's armies and fleets retreat? i.e. if I take a leaver's territory which has an army in it, will it automatically retreat to the nearest territory?
2 players in one of my games (giapeep, mathesond) can't log in to the site - they get an 'invalid username' error. They've deleted their cookies, and still no luck. Can one of the mods take a look at this?
Views on Goerge Orwell Great Politicain and Writer, or Pessimistic Pundant
Well it is interesting his great peice Animal farm was written when admiration for Stalin and USSR was at its height in Britain and US. We can all see today that the Totalitarian nightmare that was predicted never came about does this mean that all that pessimism was rubish and that that glim future was not possible?
