Gentlemen's Agreements

[Kragroth]

I was having a discussion with my teammates and we wanted to verify a couple of things.

1. I noticed that Bob did not remove OO from the game. In the votes before the game, we voted to ban Tsunami. This will be honored correct?

2. We all agree that turns are meant to be played and then sent. It's against our collective gentlemen's agreement to reload saves in order to gain scouting and/or combat advantage (i.e., when we move we move and when a combat is finished it's finished, even if we painfully lost a unit by attacking.

3. We all agree not to take advantage of the initial non passworded save and explore the map

4. We all agree not to use password cracking utilities on game saves.


I assume the above is obvious and agreed upon, but I haven't seen this explicitly stated anywhere. It's unfortunate that these gentlemen's agreements may be necessary, but I really feel these help make a really enjoyable game experience.

Your Thoughts?

No comment on the gentleman's agreement (save that #'s 2-4 are part of the basic rules for playing in any game on this site), but it would be great from a lurker's perspective if your team would make some sort of reporting thread

I'll make a thread shortly with obvious notes for Team 1 not to read it!

1) ok

2,3,4) as bob said.

Cheaters never win of if they do noone will play with them again. I lead by example!

Password cracking utility? Please tell things like this really doesn't exist

The ability to crack passwords comes in handy if you want to continue the game after one of your players disappears from RB
(happened in XXXIV).

i dont see team 2 agreed to this. and now its the second time we got an strange combat team 2 wins... (first annas scout got killed the second turn it was on reach of the same units... why did they attack the second turn and not the first... unknown but let give the benefit of the doubt, now an scout attacks other scout on the hill with really bad odds and wins...)

Lets consider both those fights as good luck on both timing and odds... but please can every1 else confirm this?

can the rest of the team 2 read this and accept the game?

Hi,

None of those scout attacks were done by me, but I do not believe there was any intention of gaming the RNG to win. In the first time I told Eclipse to take the hill. The turn after he decided on his own to risk it and got lucky.

With Auro he generally tries to avoid conflict but he felt he was going to be trapped and went for the attack and got lucky.

We have discussed this agreement and all agree to play honorably. I have heard this RNG stuff before, 35% odds does not tell me I can not win, it tells me if I win I will have earned it. It's not Luck it is Bravery on the Battlefield! And you will see more of that. I was hoping to injure that scout and kill him with my approaching warrior, instead I turned him back for home.

Know one wants to play with a cheater!
