Many people treat lower ranks like crap.

IMO a dumb ass is someone who does two things:

1) Makes a sub optimal move in a game where there are more than two sides to the game.

2) The action taken in number one hurts my chances to win the game.

A dumb ass to me:

someone who attacks a whole area to get a bonus (multi player games) escalating--thus leaving them or someone else weak for an easy kill later when the cards mean something.

someone that leaves 2's instead of ones because they think that will help them in the long run--instead of just trading for easy cards--again a multi player escalating games

I do not mind bad play in 1v1 games--hell I applaud bad play in a 1v1 game against me--I really do not mind and won't say a negative thing at all

A flat rate game -multi player again--where someone take a monster stack and attacks another monster stack because of some small advantage

going for a kill in a multi player games without numbers for example 40v60--yes this is cc but come on--did u expect to win with those numbers

last example--going for a kill late in an esc game where you cannot re-cash--lol that would not be smart

I do not mind playing low ranks or high ranks in any type of game as long as they play within the guidelines above

Also I do not mind in an esc game when I come back and have only one troop because someone tried a legit kill and the dice failed them--not their fault and I applaud their good effort that only fell short because of bad dice

I would argue that all of the things you described are sub optimal at best

On the plus side of being a lower rank, many players will underestimate you. They will become careless, thinking you will make a less than a perfect move. Take advantage of that

So on the flip side, I have experienced a fair number of games where my higher rank seemed to be a magnet for attacks, and seemed to invite bad moves at my expense.

But for the record, I get along just fine with the lower ranks,,,
so long as they remember to use the servants entrance

I personally don't have a dog in this fight because I've been far too busy chasing my own tail all these years. Once again I will play it rather neutral and continue to ride this moral high road to my ivory tower of happiness. I advise you to take heed or your stay here will not be as meaningful and you may miss out on opportunities of personal growth.

All I'm going to add here is a smidgen of insight as to why some players feel it necessary to berate or belittle their fellows. Understand that these are simply old ism's they've picked up from their Grandparents, whom have suffered through great economic hardships. These were the types of social dysfunctions taught to them while standing at the sink washing paper plates with twice used dish water. Don't be discouraged by these personality types for they know not what they do.

Now although I can't at all empathize with you being a good little mammal facsimile, given my current holometabolous form. I can however offer you my deepest sympathies. Now I understand you people at times feel that you've below average sized butts. Constantly worried about it's inadequacies and how it measures up to the next. So self conscious about what the next person believes or thinks of you that your butt seems to deflate further with every condescending message you read.

What's even more disheartening is the fact that many of you then fall victim to this vicious cycle of indecency and then spread that negativity into your games. You think you're toughening up and becoming a stronger player but you are not playing through your heart, you're playing through anger. And anger is not an open feeling, you see, it is very closed by design. It leaves no room for expansion and any knowledge gained from the game will be hindered if this is how you choose to play.


Now if you would excuse me, I've the bladder the size of a sesame seed and so am off to find the little butterfly's room.
