[GO] [Rules] Rank Restricted Games

[DiM]

either make private games and invite similar ranks or make private games and post them here:

Officers' Mess (announce new 1800+ games here!)

or here when you become a captain:
CC 2000 Games (formerly Colonel Games)

It's called private games buddy

[Tommy Tucker]

Thanks DiM.... Appreciate it....

[Herakilla]

Herakilla, if it's been suggested so many times, maybe 89 million players have a point? It would only be an OPTION...

Please tell me how to do a search on this without getting 89 million responses.... I tried and nothing specific came up....

its called exaggeration and sarcasm, and this has been suggested many times. all rejected due to the fact this absolutely cuts off upper ranks from lower ranks, makes it easier to get to the top, and doesnt allow the lower ranks to get better. (you only get better by playing the best)

[Tommy Tucker]

Fair enough.... Point taken...

[Loudawg]

would it be that hard to have a search option for games by opponents rank?

[cena-rules]

good idea

use this though

Idea: A search engine that allows you to search games with specific ranks.

Description: The idea is rather rudimentary but I know it would be helpful. Basically, the problem is when I search for games it takes me 15 minutes to find a game with players of the same rank as me. I think everyone would be able to benefit from searching for games with specific ranks. It would create more balanced games.

Advancements: I think it might also be convenient if public games could be exclusive. I know that might defeat the purpose, but private games are often difficult to coordinate. If public games could only be accessible by a few ranks, or a score range, it would make the game more competitive for cooks and colonels alike.

Thanks for all you do.

More often than not it's always the newbies that deadbeat. I think that if you start a game that before the game starts, you should have the option of removing newbies. Deadbeater always ruin games. Does anyone agree?

[rebelman]

sugested and rightly rejected many times before

[Rockness]

What had been the reson for rejecting it before?

[Sven Hassel]

you, me and everybody else on this site was a newbie at one moment.

would have liked it, so you wouldn't be allowed to join some games?

[Rockness]

We all were newbies at one point, but some newbies get into this not knowing what it is they got into then deadbeats. Then how about this; if they deadbeated one game then that option should be there. I have never deadbeated and most of the people I've met in CC have never deadbeated and the ones that did fore warned everyone with a good reason why. Deadbeating is simply not cool.

[Kromious]

Deadbeating can be an awesome response to getting screwed by the game! If the game is out of reach for a player and he/she has no consolidation of territories and has been screwed by rolls continuously since, lets face it, the rolls are often geared to the benefit of one person (Conspiracy Theory) Then why bother. Add people to your ignore list if you don't like them or if you know they have deadbeated. Seriously you might as well be a segregationist thinking up crap like this. You probably think coffee is better then beer. Grow UP!

[Keebs2674]

Deadbeating is never a good response, whether you got screwed by the game or not. Intentional deadbeaters are losers.

That being said, I don't like this idea. If a noob deadbeats give him negative feedback. You shouldn't be able to kick him out of your game without first giving him a chance. Plus, if I join a game, why should I have to wait for the creator of the game to make his selections before the game starts? It just slows things down.

[Bolbs]

Have you ever set up a doubles/triples match and have chefs who don't know how to play join your team and lose you the game? I have

It would be good if you were able to specify the minimum rank you want your partner(s) to be when you initially set up the match.

Also if you want more points it would be good to also be able to specify a maximum rank.

[Gilligan]

We should have this for singles, too.

Maybe something like a majority vote of players if the deadbeat has a record (some percentage of games or something like that). That would let honorable newbies in and help reduce the impact of those who don't consider the games they sign up for as a commitment.

I'm a newbie and think newbies should not be penalized for being new but they should be if they show any tendency to deadbeat after a game or two.
