I'm not sure where to post this, so please move this to the right place...ty...I just wanted to say that we need more players and if you join a table give those of waiting a second to know your there...We get tired of waiting and go on to the forums and such so we don't always know your there...Which when we do...most have just left....please give us a second to know your there is all....ty
yea I get that all the time or at least message the person and let them knowyou are there.
However, it would be courteous, if you are going to camp on a table and go elsewhere while waiting for a player, that you shouldn't do a force forfeit at the first chance you get (two way street and all that). There have been situations where I've been waiting for someone to show up to their own table (for over five minutes) and I check my messages or even send one to the table owner, only to find I've been force forfeited before I return. It makes one rather hesitant to get snared that way one too many times.
That is true....But fair play is a nice thing.....I figure that if one is only after a force forfiet then we black ball that person....what do yall think?
It's all about confusing, and strategizing your movement to throw off your player..
I feel there needs to be more people playning 5's... We need new comers..~NFA
The times I have tried to played 5x5x5, I have ended up in the exact some scenerio as Felix spoke about. The person wasnt even their and before I knew it, it was a forced forfiet. The other time I tried playing i ended up just waiting until I gave up and played some hangman... I really have only tried playing 5x5x5 twice since I had such a crappy couple of experiences.
Alot of people just camp out on their tables, and see people come into the table.. wait awhile, then boom.. FF them! I have had this happen to me by a few of the newbies.. and some of the one's who are knowing of how to play.. This is not just to earn favor.. I actually like playing 5's just for fun.. but now a days it does not make feel so great to play.. when others are just trying to cop a cheap feel off of favor..~NFA
The best solution I could think of for this is unfortunately a code solution. To change the game so that a force forfeit cannot be done until both players have actually made one move. That would prohibit either party from a force forfeit before the game has begun. The other less palatable option would be the reverse and allowing either party to force forfeit in the beginning. That would hurt the folks that wait for games though.
As I said, unfortunately either one is a code fix and I don't know that 5x5x5 is the priority for coding changes or even if there is a desire to change it.
I dunno. I would like for people to start paying more attention when they are sitting, but I give them a minute and then I cancel the game so I don't get trapped in a force forfeit.
i usually send the person a pm and wait about 5 mins. before i force forfeit them
I never see anyone sitting... lol, but I don't go to the games that often... but I will spread the word to those I know do play.
Someone should ask Cancer about a ping or something. That way when you get to the table (if the person's speakers are on) you can send a ping sound to them, so they know you are there.
it gets easy after awhile just a matter of people being on that's all
yea FelixFelix I get orce forfieted llthe time when I a waitig on someone to sit..... I a also waiting now if anyone wants toplay
I always msg the person after a min or two and let them know I'm waiting to play.
I tired to played several times, and when I was under my previus name I was playing but my screen was hiding 1/3 of it so i warn the player that if I cant make it I will try ot reboot and if it does nto work that time if he can give up, the player did not, abandon he force forfeit on me even tho i told him my screen was not working properly he force forfeit the frist the then the second knowing I had trouble, so now I dont play, unless I know th eperson well enought not be abuse, and so fare I only played with 1 person, I refuse to play withb anyone else.
There should be a option when you got tech issues.
yea my girl has problems with people force forfieting her since she is on dial up
i know of one person that will usually always force forfeit you and he has high stats because of it
i like the ping idea
