Account Sitting

[JustCallMeStupid]

Lindax is 100% correct. That scenario by Stupid is against the rules and was exactly what has been punished by C&A in the past. Waiting for advice is not a reason to let someone else take your turn.

Feel free to read through this case for the exact verdict on this. You'll see that both the sitter and the sittee were punished: viewtopic.php?f=239&t=145859

Though to be fair (as Ahunda pointed out) it's possible that an emergency happened that caused you to not be able to come back. This seems to be allowed as long as it is not consistently happening. However, this is not what Stupid was saying.

I have something written up and I went through most of the top of the case example you presented as well as a few of the examples of turn abuse. This case has no relevance of what I am referring, I mean read the case, it's not the same situation at all. I will probably state a long winded summary shortly. But to put it brief. The purpose of team games and clan mates is to play as a team, if one member is unsure of the best move makes some suggestions and the other 2 or 3 teammates are unable to give feedback right away but they make a best decision and one of them takes the turn for said teammate I personally dont have a problem with this as long as it is not every turn or every game. Since there is no moral objective on this situation like there is in rl situations (i.e. murder and rape is objective) the morality of turn covering will need to be decided from broad agreement of the community. Just because Lindax doesnt like a teammate covering a turn per example I gave earlier doesnt make it immoral. The reality is if the teammates were able to get together in real time and discuss the turn, the turn would have been taken exactly the same way, hence team game, hence intelligent teammates will agree on a plan and take the turn the same way, if they can discuss it.

I cant believe u really want me to paint a picture for u Lindax. Yes u are the anal retentive one based on ur above comments.

Hypothetically if: I have had a rare game or three or four where I could not make a sure decision on the turn and was waiting for teammate feedback. Time got to a place where I left my ideas in chat but never got a complete decision from my teammates. With rl stuff to do I let my teammates know that I probably was not going to make it back in time and if they could either pick one of my ideas and take the turn or if there is a better option (most my games are 3v3 not 2v2). Basically they are doing the turn I was going to do that the other 2 teammates agreed on. I'm guessing this 'moral injustice' is somewhere in the unwritten rules on CC (please post a link to this rule and not the new one from last week.)? Whatever.

And yes to all u anal retentives out there who turn stupid crap like this into some punishable immoral act get a life. You will need to base these rules off of the community as a whole not just a couple of people going to the extreme. If there is a clan out there known for doing crap like one clan member taking multiple other's turns frequently and regularly and there is serious abuse then MAKE THAT CLAN ABIDE BY THOSE RESTRICTIVE RULES UNTIL the abuser is removed from the clan and have mods watch that clan like a hawk and let the rest of us enjoy our CC games being good sports in every way. Dont make all of us deal with the politics of some people that have some kind of utopian view of CC.

Lindax, we will have to disagree on moral imperfection here. I do not find it wrong for a teammate to cover a turn on a rare occasion (I'll define rare as once per 3 games, but that's just an opinion) if the person wants to make the right move for the team but cannot get a hold of their teammate and asks a teammate to decide from a couple of options they have suggested. Maybe someone needs to explain the purpose of having clan competitions and clan mates and team games with those mates if you cant cover another's turn in rare situations.

To do some hypothetical rough math based on my own game count. I've had 978 team games Ill assume 600 of those were with clan mates. And the average game goes 8 rounds 600*8=4800 turns now assume I had 4 covered per my example. so 4/4800 = .0008% of my turns I have done something that you, and probably not everyone, probably not most the people on this site, would define as 'immoral'. And we need a rule for every clan cause of this? I should be banned because of something that I believe most everyone else on this site has no issue with? Is this really the kind of rule people want and would this rule really make the site better?

I still love u Lindax, but we will probably disagree on this issue until the end of time, unless most the users on this site think I am wrong, in which case I guess I would admit you are right.

There are two things that you are mixing up.

One is that I can find something morally wrong. About that we could indeed discuss until the end of time. And I totally respect that you see something different than I do. If we would all agree about everything every day, the world would be a very boring place.

Two is that what you described in your original post and what your "implying" in the above post, is simply against the site rules that have existed for a long time already. It doesn't matter if you do it once or 200 times. That's a fact whether you like it or not. Not much use discussing that, unless your aim is to change those existing rules.

I still love you too and I'm going to leave it at this. I made my point clear enough and don't want to repeat myself until the end of time.
