I am tired of having to play with players that, once the game does not go their way, abandon ship, or even worse, troll their team mates.

I think we should start a list of players that are immune to advice from clearly better players. Or react to that advice by intentionally playing badly.

I start with

vickveda


Not a good player which is not a problem, we all start out as beginners. But the way he boycotts his team mates and gifting the win to the opposite team from a winning position just to annoy others....


Here is evidence: https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=11687594

Once we voiced criticism he just abandoned Partha, jeopardising our chance to win.



Edit:

This is in no way intended to shame bad/beginning players. And I would like to encourage the makers of this site to start a list of players who have high boot rates. As long as this is not the case, feel free to list those players here under a special header.


Second Edit:

Name those players that play as a team in FFA games.

I have a few diplomacy players that need to be avoided:

Rory the Warmonger

The Shizamu Clan

The Spanish Monarch

That Nation of Islam

General Grady

I'll post more as I find them

You forgot to add ThomasV.

Alexi, Erik Calligaro, Fléche, Kontour, vegeta, joHexi
However, I think it's alright to team in FFA. Unless you start coalitions.

Master of the Dead, Ollie, Tony Sodano, and Sephiroth should be added to that list.

I meant play as a team even before the game has started: they coordinate their starting points. SOme of them are just one person with two accounts.

Oh yeah, that is annoying!

You won that game, so who cares what you think of him? Winning the game is the ultimate goal, that's all that matters.

Its a pain to have people like that around in warlight, but lots of people are just that immature, you can't get rid of them all. There are lots of people who don't give a hoot about winning, and don't care to improve. They think they know everything, and if you disagree, you are either stupid, or an a-hole. Just the way things are. You can't blacklist them all.

Its perfectly fine for players to have multiple accounts on one team - depending on the circumstances it is not at all an advantage overall. What really causes issues, is when you have your own accounts fighting each other from different teams, or when you have two accounts in a FFA, or two accounts on a ladder at the same time.


If you want to avoid people like that, you have several options:
1. Don't play.
2. Play with people you already know, who won't do that stuff (either with friends, or members of a decent clan)
3. (sometimes works) stricter requirements, in terms of win rates, booting, and levels, can make open seats more pleasant. They sometimes keep enough people from joining, however.

@Orthus - you missed the point entirely, I think.

FYI, That nation of Islam renamed himself to U.S.S.R.

Oh it's actually pretty easy to identify toxic players. The mods of the site add special symbols next to their usernames to mark them.

Just look for this:


(stands for Mega Haters or sth like that, Fizzer didn't really explain the rationale behind it)

LOOOOL Knyte, 10/10

I only have one person in my blacklist, though. Blacklisting is for in-game purposes such as teammates who attack you for the laughs. Realistically, blacklisting people in the forums does literally nothing, and you're holding the hot potato because the person gets zero notification about the blacklist. It's literally done so the person can look at your profile and say "I don't like his guy, he shouldn't exist! I r jnius"

Shizamu Clan is in my game right now? How worried should I be?

Since shimazu is a diploplayer, I assume it's a diplomacy?

Try your best to kill him off as early as possible, because of he grows too much he refuses to VTE or surrender and tries to grab. He's terrible at strat so it shouldn't be a hassle. He's also one of those "diplo justice warriors" who complain about literally everything you type in chat.

^ Well said Zeph.

I agree with Blackhawks88's blacklist.

Edit: had my blacklist here, removed it again because it did not list players descripted by the title

thx. yes, its a diplomacy game on a Westeros map, and I'm playing the role of potential king right now, so I needed to know how to act towards him.
