[TECHNICAL THREAD] for rules and settings and blaming the organizers

Yeah, no, forcing people to continue with a game that they are bored in is a recipe for burning out half of our community.

so you kill all your game when a civ take a litle advantage ? that's not respectuous i think for the civ who have a card to play, for the civ who want to play the win.

when you agree to play a pitboss, you know the party will be during a lot of time and you sign for that. wanted to stop before the end because you havent make a perfect start, bad choice, or you are less skill than the first, that's not enjoy me to play with you again.

i respect the guy who honor the winner by playing until the end, because for my mind, when i sign for a pitboss, i'm totally agree by playing until the end, that i'm the 1st or the last, that's no incidence, because i respect the other's players who play the win.

that's very sad when you are in good position and your party stop because of that. try thinking a litle about the outsider and leader who definitively cant claim the win because of that.

Yeah, conceding every game when majority of the players lost any chances for winning can also be a bad recipe.

Ok, I would like to end this discussion. I understand your arguments, I understand your point of view I even generally wouldn't object them. But I hope you understand our arguments (mine, Bisons' and Catwalk's) that we think this game has ended prematurely and if that's the rule on RB, then I guess being number #2 power can be extremely frustrating.

Probably I would like the rule something like #1 and #2 (maybe #3 and #4) powers from the game must agree on conceding the game.

My understanding is that games on here often end with concessions when players willingly do so. I haven't seen much of a precedent for pressuring or expecting anyone to concede.

Bison, go and post those screenshots please. You keep on saying you could win this game, but no lurker has seen a detailed view of your civ.

This game ended because the turns were getting out of hand and some players were trying to game the clock for an advantage.

I don't think that you can generalize too much regarding what's RB culture on ending the games. There are as many opinions as there are players and that leads to debates on regular basis here as well. My personal opinion is that the game should be played on until the winner is truly clear, but there most definitely is no need to reach an in-game victory condition.

I'm not sure I agree. The attempted turn timer manipulations were from someone not used to RB culture, so they were excusable, to a degree. Even if not, they were just the straw that broke the camel's back - the turns have obviously been difficult for a while.

Digged my hard drive and hopefully this was the last version of the map.
