uhm.. dah!!

szeweningen, very nice post from you :D too bad that nobody is listening. The very same people that are you trying to reach really don't care.

I read, I thought, I agreed.

Countering stalling is fairly easy: when you are up against an opponent who is obviously stalling, tell his opponents in a private mail. Then, they will start stalling against the staller, which would render his efforts useless. Problem solved.

Ottoman Emperor liked this.

Edit: Thanks darkpie ;)

@MoD

tell his opponents in a private mail.

Depends Kasperov. If they are already placed high more stalling does nothing.

You can't stop them. Let them have their vain glory and showcase it to the rest, so anybody that would normally care(forum readers, community tab peerers) can see. Reveal and move on, no point putting so much energy into it.

I feel compelled to add that I thoroughly enjoyed Fridge's take on the issue. That is to say his comment.

Fridge: Well put.

Sir.

I applaud you.

*applauds*

+1 sze. A thoughtful and interesting post.

what about offers that are made in order to reach 1st place on ladder for a day in order to get a trophy? what do you think about them?
oh sorry, I didn't know it was supposed to be a joke. well, you really can't convey sarcasm through internet. next time you should use more emoticons like ;) so we will understand you are making a joke.
and lets not forget you stalled this game at the same time: http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=3935134

for those who don't get it, ribena and unknown were #1 at that time, sze and gnuffone #2 and dreuj and me #3. sze wanted to reach #1 and quit the ladder to have a trophy on his profile. so he made a suggestion as you can see in his game against unknownsoldier and ribena, while stalling the game against dreuj and I when it was clearly over.

Good post. I liked dead piggys rage post too.

¡perfect spanish! Me gusta la banda de rodadura agradables mensajes ¡perfect spanish!

brisk, anyone who knows me here (and I assumed Ribena and unknown did) would know I was joking, which I explicitly said... Also the game against you I did not stall, it was strategically lost on turn 3, however there was the possibility of you choosing a wrong strategic plan like going greedily in asia and forgetting europe while brisk could make risky moves and get eliminated in ca. I surrendered on turn 10 where there was absolutely no chance. With light fog I'd surrender 2 turns earlier maybe.

Brisk if you watched warlight weekly you would know that Sze is a cyborg and when he jokes it is through great pain and trepidation. So emoticons etc. would just be to much for him to bear!



P.S.


THE ZING MACHINE IS ON OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

It still looks sketchy. You said that you had hoped dreuj to greedily take Asia and forget Europe, but you see a big stack at turn 7..

Here's your speed:



So you see the stack in Europe, but you continue 3 turns anyway at conveniently 2-days+? How bad of a misplay were you looking for?

Say you do eliminate brisk in CA, how exactly are you supposed to proceed? Gift Gnuffles West Africa so he can hit a neutral the same turn brisk takes Africa? Dreuj can take an EC territory and let brisk expand there. Surely you realized the loss before the 3 turns you took at 2 days+. You don't say in chat you had to go anywhere and apologize for not finishing RT like you had started. I get that playing slow happens in lost games, but we should see 1 turn here to make it clear that you lost, you know.. the turn where dreuj doesn't back off Europe, and brisk doesn't make a misplay in CA. Given your own words.

I don't think your career has been littered with stalling, but that game was stalled for whatever reason.

Great post.

Fantastic post!
