This post is on the same subject, it also has my support, maybe the mods might consider merging these posts?

• Change foe mechanics so one can join a game in which the foe is in, but is not hosting.

Specifics/Details:

• Currently, if a person has foed you and is in a game either as the host or in another slot, you cannot join. This suggestion would change the mechanics so that if the person is in another slot in the game, player 2 through 7, you can still join.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• The host of a game should have discretion on who is banned from his/her game, not another player.
• In theory, if I foed every person on the site, I could join every single multiplayer game which has at least one extra slot still open and prevent every one of those games from being filled.
• If you have a foe in the same game as you, you already can't see their chat, so the main issue is whether they suicide on you - if they do so, rate it accordingly. If you already have, investigate it and see if they are habitually doing it and report it.
• I have a short memory - I've tried to join a game and it's blocked me because I was foed by someone and I was like really? I didn't even remember playing that person. I would not have caused trouble for them in the game... unless they did something new!
  
• Compromise: Don't let foed players join the same team, but permit them to join another team or join in a free-for-all.

I don't see this happening. Many players don't create games at all, so basically the foe button would be absolutely, 100% useless for them. (Unless they post in the forums, but this isn't about the forums)

this would be good. there are many players out there i don't want on my team but it would be ok to play against them.

[TheForgivenOne]

Maybe if you can have options on your foe mechanics. Like
-Don't allow player on my team
-Don't allow player in game i started/joined

[Darwins_Bane]

The idea of a foe button is so that you don't have to see or hear from them anymore. If you want to see them again or play with them, y not just pm them and both of you unfoe each other.

I have some peeps foed just to screw with but most of them are foed because I DON'T WANT TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE TO SPEW OR PLAY GAMES WITH.

What needs to be fixed is people should not be able to join games with those they have on foe...

[Dibbun]

I understand that you don't want to play/see people you have foed but I have a problem when you're forcing your foe list on the person who created the game. If someone creates an 8-person free for all, when that last spot is going to get filled you have 7 different foe lists active.

Yeah well I don't play anything but team games. I am occasionally contacted by someone asking if I would unfoe them. It works fine.

FYI: The vast majority hardly use the foe option and when they do it's very few on it So I can't believe it's that much of an issue. (Unless my list is involved)

Yeah, like how you join games that I created even though you have me foed....

[Renee_W]

If you have a foe in the same game as you, you already can't see their chat

This is the most annoying part of "foe" to me not the primary benefit. It's seriously annoying that I can't foe till the game ends to ensure I have the context of game important chat. And very confusing if you accidentally join a game hosted by a foe and don't know you're missing chat. It is also annoying when I foe someone because I don't want to play w/ them then parts of forum threads are obscured.

I foe people because I don't want to play w/ them ever again. This is a very very bad idea. A much better idea is preventing me from joining games that already have a foe of mine in them. Or separate foe and mute lists.

ummm. I saw this post without having to display it.... You haven't been foed for a while now...

But yes. If I have someone foed I don't want to be able to join the game.

A suggestion that would basically make the foe function useless? Why would anyone want this?

If you would read my original post, you would see that I assert that it should be the game creator's foe list which should be taken into account, not anyone else's foe list.

I would be happy to play you again, it's entertaining to hear you bitch about dice - Game 8828567 and that's the only reason I have a low rating because I don't hold your balls for you while you're crying.

[jefjef]

Are you saying that you only hold them while he smiles? Do you gently massage them too?

Alrighty then. Well anyway foe lists are already ignored in tourney/clan war games. Thats enough.

[TheForgivenOne]

I'm sorry, but I really doubt the current mechanics will be switching away from this. The way you have it now, makes the foe list useless for players (Like me), who don't start games. What happens if player x has targeted me in every game i ever played them? Should I have to suffer just because I don't want that player stalking me into games that I join?

[Dibbun]

I see your point, I was just annoyed once when I made a quad game and GeneralAnestetic joined and it took forever for that game to fill.

Awwww... I heart you too jeffyboy!

For the record, I agree that you shouldn't be able to join a game of someone you have foed as well. It makes sense that if it works the other way, it should work this way as well.

There are 2 options. One is just to ask him to exit. The other is to delete the game, hope he doesn't join or foe him and than see who joins.

Change the effect of the foe list.

Specifics/Details:
I am, as far as I know, only on 1 person's foe list because that player was very irrational (called me a suicider when I attacked him 15v7 when if I won, I would get a bonus) and so because of a player that was completely clueless foe'd me, I can no longer join games that this player is in. Unfortunately, he seems to be in a number of games I would like to join.

This really bothers me in the sense that I have seemingly been banished from a number of games I enjoy playing because of this one players irrational thinking. Even if this player did not create the game, I can not join.

My suggestion is change the effect of the for list in this such manner. (Player A is on player B's foe list).

- Player A wishes to join an 8 player game. Unfortunately, because player B is say, the 5 player to join the game, player A is not allowed to join the game. This situation is unfair to player A in such manner that player B did not start the game, it is not player B's settings, but player B is just a random opponent in the game but still prevents player A from joining.
- My suggestion is that player A should not be banned from all games that include player B. Player A should be banned from any game player B creates, but if player B joins a random game, than player A should be allowed as well.

I know the point of a foe list is to prevent a player one feels plays the game poorly from playing each other again. However, people have abused this system and in cases such as mine, prevent the abused player from joining a lot of games again. I feel I was wrongly foe'd but a clueless player but because of this, I can not join a lot of games I once played and played very fairly with no complants before. 15v7 is not suicide in my book but because some player did not like losing, I am not prevented from many games.


How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
- This will benefit the site because it will allow a lot of players to join many more games. If the person who foe'd player A see's this person in the game again, maybe they will see player A had a bad game or that there is nothing wrong with that player. But if player A is truly that bad, than others can foe him as well.
- Will not allow for players to abuse the foe list and basically give players control of what games some players can play. If someone on is on a foe list, they should only be prevented from playing in games created by the player who foe'd them.

[phantomzero]

or you could just ask him nicely to remove you from his foe list?

[ziggyy77]

The player thought i was suicidal when i had more than double his army and as much as i tried to explain it to him in game, he just went off on me and kept talking about how i am on his foe list.... Unfortunately, i doubt he will take me off his list because i ask nicely.

[ask me2]

So what? Make your own game with those settings.

[ziggyy77]

What if there is an 8 player game with 7 people already in... i should just create my own game and wait for who know's how long until people join my game? I should be able to join that alomst filled 8 player game even if i am on 1 person's foe list who might have been the 7th person to join.

[Evolution299]

I agree with Ziggyy here. Im on Great Ollies foe list, cause I attacked him in a 3 player Lux. map game, where if my dice would have even been average I would have eliminated him and won the game. Because I auto'd and my dice were horrible, I never got to eliminate him, just cripple him.
Ive asked to him to remove the foe ,but he doesnt respond. This eliminates me from alot of 8 player Doodle games that enjoy playing.
I think there has to be a better system to the foed list.
