Bug Abuse

by **fiction** on Wed Aug 12, 2009 10:26 pm

Is anyone else tired of the people who abuse the bug in which they let the timer run out on a freestyle game then immediately take their turn again? Can't we just ban these ass holes already?

If it were a bug then it would be fixed. It's a strategy that some choose to use. If you see it as cheap leave them a "cheap tactics" tag and rate them accordingly. If you don't like players who abuse this I suggest moving to sequential games.

If its not a bug it is a crappy application and needs to be fixed. I do see many high ranked people use this but I would hardly call this blatant cheating a strategy. I guess one could call using multiple accounts a strategy under the same logic. I sure as heck wouldn't and if this action isn't against the rules it dang well should be.

Leaving an appropriate ranking for these cheaters doesn't prevent them from being able to join random games, only gives someone a warning before joining a game they start or are in. I like freestyle games as they seem to go faster but if the advice is I should avoid freestyle games because these cheaters can cheat whenever they want well if that is the case currently it definitely needs to be changed.

Then allow me to direct your attention to this Sugs & Bugs post:

*With tongue in cheek* Well you obviously must be mistaken, way back at the start of the new year, C.C.'s grand poohbah sent out a memo banning "Farming" and since the likes of King Herpes and demonfork, the # 1 and 3 Players on the sight routinely use this tactic to gain 3 points a game against cooks, there must absolutely be nothing wrong with this form of strategery. All C.C. members should look for new and creative ways to take advantage of the system. :-$

No, but I'm a little tired of the people who join freestyle games and then complain when that happens. Can't we just bar these ass holes from posting. Or maybe just get rid of 24 hour freestyle all together.

It actually doesn't differ from mine very much at all. I don't play casual speed freestyle games.

Oh you don't, then it seems like you're the ass hole posting in places you have no business posting in then huh. And I do admit that the higher ranked people have made a business off farming players with bug abuses and the fact that it is allowed is abhorrent. Can someone point me to an admin discussing the issue if at all?

i believe you meant "you're the asshole"... i hate when people flame and do it wrong... anyway, way to engage an open debate/dialogue by name calling and berating those with opinions different from yours. i suggest you go to the thread that was pointed out to you and join the effort in getting this non-violation of the rules fixed... good luck! and watch the flaming!!-0

Bug abuse is not funny and it's not grown up.

Well I have to admit that I have partly been responsible for Bug abuse...

When my cousin was 6 and we were camping in France, he caught a lot of bugs, (I believe a lot of ants and a wasp, but also a snail and even an earthworm) and put them in a plastic bottle.
first he tried to drown them with water. We (me my sister, my other 2 cousins, uncle, aunt, father, AND my mother) laughed out loud as he filled the bottle and shook it around for at least a minute.
Driven by our attention and laughter at his bug abuse, he thought of something even worse.
The little animals were mostly still alive, so my little cousin thought it would be fun to torture them even worse by letting the water run out (careful not to set any of the bugs free with it), and fill it with boiling hot water.

We kept laughing and laughing, until after a few minutes all life inside the bottle had been destroyed and we all realized what we had become.
For nothing but a little fun, we had all become accessory to taking at least a dozen souls in an awful, excruciating way.

Afterwards, my sister told me that she didn't really find it as funny, but she laughed just for the sake of being part of the group.

I would like to urge everybody to be aware of the fact that those tiny little bugs are living beings, with their own little souls and their own pain.
Please, step up against the discrimination and violence against bugs.
