When is it appropriate and/or acceptable to foe someone?

[Artimis]

EDIT: Poll added.

When does someone deserved to be foed?

• For being rude beyond the scope of expected trash talk? - Maybe.
• For playing very badly? - I would.
• For deliberately ruining your game and/or cheating? - Certainly!
• For beating you with superior dice in a 1v1 game? - ............WHAT?!

Here is why I ask: $25 a year is cheap. No wonder.

Lets leave aside the fact that lt.Futt is an SoC Training Advisor, because I want to focus on the reason given for adding Hannibal 19 to his foe list. The reason being, as best as I can understand, because Hannibal 19 is receiving some good dice..... Yes I know, incredible isn't it?

Lets put this into perspective with a little bit of well known CC history, there used to be a player called KLOBBER, whom was infamous for a number of reasons, most of all for his humongous foe list. If you beat KLOBBER, you got added to his foe list, if you made it to Lieutenant or better in rank, you got added to his foe list. Basically if you showed any signs of proficiency at this game, KLOBBER added you to his foe list. It got to the point that virtually everyone who posted on the forums was on KLOBBER's foe list. I can't begin to imagine the amount of clicking he had to do in one day just to read the individual posts of each thread that interested him. Anyway, the point is that KLOBBER was clearly using the foe list for something other than it was intended.

So I ask you all, when is it acceptable to foe someone? What criteria do you use when considering new additions to your foe list?

Discuss!

It's your choice I have never foed anyone. I've made a bunch of other people's lists just by being a weenie in the forums.

[betiko]

People trashing a multiplayer game for being a sore loser/vindictive asshole/bored cunt/mentally challenged/suiciding bitch is the main reason. Gamechat big arguments could be a reason, but I don t necesairly do it.
Deadbeating/clueless and unwilling to listen teammate works too. Or forum asshole (has to be a pretty serious forum asshole! They always end up unfoed because let s face it, it s fun to read)

Regarding futt, he is just in the mentally challenged category, he foes people who play better than him so he can be a better soc adviser.

[smegal69]

must remember to add betiko to my foe list

[Gweeedo]

I guess some people will play for any reason.
Klobber is remembered for his foe list.

I am always up for a good Challenge...cheat, lie, cry, try to ruin my game, etc. No matter to me.
it is just a game and I find it amusing whom ever, how ever, what ever.

I might foe somebody if they start spewing out foul language.
Everything else is free game.
To foe somebody does not mean you will never again encounter them in a game.
For that reason I do not foe. In the hopes that those who foe me, might join a game (inadvertently) that I am in...so as to aggravate them one more time! I might purposely aggravate (go for his elimination) him...after all We are foe's.

Of course I would expect no less from him...His hand is forced, I have the option.

Hello multi!!
Second dude today with a 2013 account making a testimonial of cc stuff happening before i even started on the site.
Dude, use your original account for this type of comments

In other news, you are foed. I don t play careless suiciding multis.

[Artimis]

Is it acceptable/appropriate to foe players that are better than you(not just because dice won the day)?

First I want to consider is it *smart* to foe players that are better than you? Surely if they consistently beat you then there is something to be learned from the experience. So by foeing these players so they cannot join your games any more you are in fact depriving yourself of a learning experience, which goes double if you happen to be an SoC Trainer or a mentor of some other description.

If you can't beat them, foe them! -Is not the sort of example I'd like to set for others to follow.

Or maybe I'm just being old fashioned, perhaps KLOBBER really was onto something after all. *snorts* Naaaaah, that's just fucking bollocks! Using the foe list to block superior players is admitting defeat and probably cowardice too, but whatever floats your boat, carry on it's your loss and not mine!

[chang50]

The one thing that guarantees being foed by me is to accuse me of cheating,after that continuous crying about the dice usually works especially if it is accompanied by rude and obnoxious trash talk.
If you beat me fair and square you will only receive a gg wp m8.

What is a Multi???

If you are making reference about KLOBER (I assume you are), Fist time I hear that name, is in this thread.

Quote:you are foed. I don t play careless suiciding multis.

That remains to be seen. If you ever join a game that I am in, there is a good chance you will be playing in one of those games.
In fact you will be the 'careless suicider.

I will explain.

You have foed me, I do not foe you.
If you happen to join in a game (inadvertently or not) that I am in...I will look upon you as a target: knowing that you have foed me, thereby declaring war on me (joining in a game with a player that you have foed, only means trouble).
I would assume you have come to suicide on me.

Here you have a guy foe somebody he has never played...Be afraid, be very afraid!

[Donelladan]

For that reason I do not foe. In the hopes that those who foe me, might join a game (inadvertently) that I am in...so as to aggravate them one more time! I might purposely aggravate (go for his elimination) him...after all We are foe's.

The new update on foe rule changed that. You can't join a game if there is someone that you foed inside. So people that foed you can't join a game you're in.

Hum, maybe you re right. It doesn t mean you know klobber after rereading, you re just repeating what the op says as if you knew him.

For the foe thing, you are saying that you don t care if you win or lose basically and that you target people for whatever reason. So yes, you sound like a wreckless player, i don t want you in any of my games, and no, no chance to join a game you re in.

[ChrisPond]

i am guessing there is no way to check and see if you have been foed by someone? i would enjoy seeing the list of who has foed me...it would be like a walk down memory lane.

You can. Viewing your rating might give you a good indication. If you click on there wall...try to chat...no can do, if you are foed.

[Gweeedo]

@betiko, I was simply stating that KLOBBER might of been playing (this game) for the foe list.
That would bring in a whole new reason why somebody might foe another player.

As far as my game...I do not care who I am up against. If it happens to be a cheater, suicider is no matter to me. If I find myself in a game like that...what am I going to do! I will simply do my best to beat him...making victory all the sweeter.
Foe me don't foe me...who gives a shit!

[jefjef]

I just Gweedo. I'm still trying to figure out why I haven't foed Artimis.

as I said.. not caring to have someone cheating against you or suiciding on you is too much of a careless attitude for me. To take the decision to suicide on someone because he had you foed, before the game even starts proves you are a total loose cannon on the battlefield. You don't care about anything and that you are capable of anything. It's your right, but I don't want to play vs such players, nothing personal, just hate the way you describe your gameplay.

and chris, I don't think you can get the list of people who have you foed, but you will see that you can't write on their walls or join their games.

[Artimis]

I just Gweedo. I'm still trying to figure out why I haven't foed Artimis.

That's a good question, wish I had an equally good answer!

[Gweeedo]

You speak nonsense!
Many people react differently when they find them self in such a game (Cheater, suicider etc.), I do what I can. Why should I take drastic actions? Quit the game suicide, cry, holler no fair Cheater, cheater!
Its not like I am going to go search out such a game (player) Nor will I willingly join a game if I am aware of such actions.
I am sure there are many ways to cheat in any game. As well as others calling foul play with no reason at all.

I do not holler Cheater, I do not cry FOUL! I do not blame the dice...I play the Game!!!
If your game is based on cheating so be it, I can do nothing about that. If you enjoy suicide on me (or anybody else) No matter to me, I play Accordingly.
I play the best game that I am capable of.
You are Welcome to foe any player you like. Foe the players who cry cheat, foe the players you think cheat, foe the guys who cry at lousy dice, foe the players who don't play on Sunday. Foe them all.

I would say that "YOU" and many others who are to quick to press the foe button, are the careless players.
If you find yourself in a game with a cheater, don't you want to beat him all the more?
Same with a suicider...you just going to quit (take the easy way out, careless).
Is your strategy so limited?

You just don't get it.
If you foe me and enter my game (a game that I am in), it is you (the guy who 'foed me') who would be suiciding on me?
Why else would you have entered into a game with somebody whom you have foed?
What is it I am suppose to think???
Get real!
In fact I do not ever suicide.
I have read some of your posts...you are suicide afobic.
I have viewed some of your games, I see that you have went all suicidal on more than a few players (according to them).
If I play against other players who suicide on me, sure it bothers me. Does not mean I have to foe them nor do I have to inform others about such actions...it happens, that is the Game of risk.
Learn to play. Stop crying foul.
I have won (not so much on this site) many a game with many players suiciding against me. Read some of the blogs on CC, you will learn how you can deal (beat) a (supposed) suicider. or you can simply take the careless attitude and foe them (much easier).

To foe somebody simply because they do not foe players who 'suicide' on them, is inappropriate.
I am guessing you have a longer foe list than most.

[Gweeedo]

Seems to me, that it is those who continually talk about players who suicide on others, are the guys who practice it (suicide) the most.
And continually complain, complain, complain!

If You are a complaining little bitch...plz foe me

[Gweeedo]

What do you think about a player who Declares War on another player.
If a player openly (in Chat) tells another player that he has declared War on him and for him to prepare to defend himself...Would that be considered Suicidal?
If so, then count me suicidal.

[rhp 1]

I don't foe anyone for more than a day unless they're a multi, and even then I could probably be talked into unfoeing them, as I don't really care that much... that said? the foe button is there, imo, to simulate what you would do in normal life if you don't want to interact with someone.. that is, stop interacting with them... in daily life, why exactly would I need a reason to not talk/interact with you? not only can I choose to not interact with you, I don't have to give you the rationale for not interacting with you.. why should CC be any different? answer? it shouldn't...

[ChrisPond]

What do you think about a player who Declares War on another player.

Um...when i join a game i declare war on everyone that is in the game or not on my team. have i been playing this game wrong?

and if someone "declared war" in chat, i would probably congratulate them for figuring out what this is all about...maybe point them to the winning objectives.

[Gweeedo]

When the board is balanced and there is no real reason for you to attack a particular player...when you do, they will often times call foul and cry and whimper like a baby. Telling the player who has made an unprovoked attack against them, that they going all suicidal on them.
Well, If you target a fellow (it could put you out of the game) I sometime Declare War on him...giving him fair warning. That would be open season and not considered Suicide..Fair enough?

[betiko]

sorry gweeedo, but instead of talking nonesense, please give me an example of game where i suicided on someone. And no, in most settings when someone suicided on you there is not much to do. you and the suicider just get killed by the players around. Some players don't understand ballance and when to stop. I am not having any fun when someone fucks a game I'm in. worse thing is in assassin games.

You are not at War with somebody until you attack them. In this game anyway.
