You enter teammates bonus without communicating your planned path.
Celtifringe replied "k", after that, once I realized he didn't quite imagine the path of taking Europe, I made some clarifications. The map has 0 army stand guard and 8 army neutrals, so it makes sense to cooperate to take down the bonus.
You insult your teammate for not reading your mind
Name me the part where I insulted him. I acted the way how I think should be acted upon everyone, including myself. If my moves are wrong, I need to be called out and I need to be thankful for being corrected. Tournaments are serious business, and that was a competitive tournament.
You get upset when the teammate doesn’t want to play other games with you.
I'm not angry. Anger is not what solves problems. Celtifringe has the right to do what he wants to do. Before joining team, I had different opinion about him. It was a wrong opinion and I'm glad that now I learnt more about it. If I knew it in advance, I wouldn't have joined his team. I think there are more players similar to me who might consider playing with the Celtifringe in the future, so I want to save them time and help avoid ruined tournaments.
There is no need for consent to surrender.
Yes, but it's within all team players interests to get as much as possible fun/success from their games. Celtifringe was having a problem with me and he didn't make it clear. Contributing to team is important to me, I can reword my statements to make them more acceptable to the team mate. I want that my team would perform well, so I will be calling out bad moves, and the game I showed as example I did it in a respectable manner (according to my opinion). If Celtifringe tells me his preferred way of communication, I will gladly use it. It's within my upmost interest that things in my teams go well, including both playing quality and team mate relations.
On one hand you ask nobody to team with Celt, but then you go out of your way at the end to tell us that Celt is a cool dude?
Firstly I didn't ask to not play with Celtifringe, I simply let you know that he might sometimes react emotionally, which in my opinion is not regarded well by players who want to play well in competitive environments. Secondly, one instance of bad behavior is not enough evidence of a person being bad. It could have simply been a misunderstanding and they need to be solved. Celtifringe as well could have been having a bad day and feel stressed. People who make free coin tournaments and probably much more (I rarely read forums, so don't know full list of Celtifringe's achievements, but I know he has done much more before) don't tend to be bad people. In all the instances up to listed point, Celtifringe was acting in a polite manner, always being friendly to the community. I have 0 evidence to believe that Celtifringe is a bad person, all the other facts speak of his good character.
You play for the free coins
There was no coins involved in said tournament.
Celtefridge plays for fun
In my opinion winning the game increases the amount of fun (in my opinion). At the time of talking I found nothing offensive in my comments and still don't find anything offensive in them. If I have to communicate with Celtifringe again, I will look for different methods to make my comments across, but if I communicate with anyone else, I will communicate exactly same way under similar situations, because I find nothing wrong in my comments. Getting offended is a choice, I don't want to enforce emotional weaklings to stay weak, I will say what I think should be said in no fear of someone getting offended over it. People always have an option to deal with what's being said to them and get stronger emotionally. You can't appeal to everyone, what one finds proper way of communication is an insult to another. I will leave people who don't like me alone and will stick to those who don't mind what I have to say. If I and a player who dislikes me get to the same team, I will still put my best effort to make team do well, because if I join a team it's my duty to help team perform well for duration of tournament/game. If my team mate wants to have fun, it means that I will look for ways to help my team mate have fun.
why did you make this thread?
So others players would know Celtifringe's and my behavior better. We are different kinds of players and don't suit everyone. Helping community to know what type of players we are is going to be helpful when choosing to what team to go and what not. For example, if I knew Celtifringe better, I wouldn't have joined his team and would worded my criticism differently if I ever have to talk to him.
Making a forum theread atakking someone will in 99% of the cases make you appere as the bad guy.
What you think is your business, not mine. If you want to consider me a bad guy, then have fun with it. My words are only as harmful/offensive as you make them to be. I did what I think had to be done, which in this case was telling community more about me and Celtifringe, so they could choose their teams in future games/tournaments accordingly. I regret nothing and am proud of my decisions. Regardless of how much hate I get for this thread, it was well worth it (in my opinion).
