I haven't seen any of these games go past 2 rounds yet. If he misses 2 turns, he'll delay the game by a maximum of 48 hours. We have until March 30th to finish these games, so 48 hours is not likely to make any difference when all is said and done.

Hmm. Well. Fair enough. However.... these games, lest I be mistook, were touted as Fast and Fun.

Dude's not really allowing for either. I'm sure it's a kid. Or? A peanut head. I foed him so he can't join my assassin games.

And yes. Those games without him are both.

Per the rules CatchersMitt14 can actually do anything he wants about the issue. I think I agree with most people that while doing something like this is not technically illegal it is killing the fun of it. I mean when I have 100 games (ONE HUNDRED GAMES....SERIOUSLY) all with 8 players and I have 40 stuck on this guy and he's taking them only when they get down to nothing. He's on all day but not keeping on top of it. For so many people to notice this it is definitely not an accident. What's so wrong with CatcherMitt14 or dakky21 messaging this guy and saying "Hey, could you please stop purposefully delaying your turns or we are going to block your entry into new games."

I'm totally cool with Big John and others helping out by keeping games going. I mean they are kind of fun.....if Code Red is the last player to have a turn.

It is taking the fun out of it! I sat here one day and watched him take a turn with 2:17 left his next turn he waited till it got down. I think they should at least make him drop all the games he has waiting in the request box because I think he probably has about 500 sitting there. lol

Foeing does nothing for tournaments. The function is ignored.

To make it better, from what I understand ratings that you leave for these games dont count. So I cant even give the guy a bad rating for being a slow, inconsiderate buttface.

I wall posted him and asked him if he could please take his turns a bit quicker and he pretty much told me he can do what he wants.... If anything, he is clearly violating the Dont Be Intentionally Annoying guideline

Any chance of spoiling things for others, over indulging, ruining it for the next guy? That's what we do as humanity.

Takman is now holding up a tonne of games as well.

Well I guess we can see you do not care about people having fun in this challenge. THERE WILL BE NO FUN WHILE PLAYING THESE CHALLENGES!!! Remember that everyone. It pays to be a dick and take all your time before taking your turns. LOL! I will try to remember that for the next challenge. ;)

24 hours to take a DEPLOY-> AUTO-ASSAULT -> END TURN that is worth no points...

As long as he's taking his turns within his allotted 24 hours then he is not breaking any rules. Everyone is given 24 hours to take their turn, this is not new. If we were to threaten him to take his turns faster it would open a new series of questions and complaints. Such as I saw so and so logged in an hour ago but didn't take his turn in my game. Where do we draw the line? How many games does one have to delay in order to be considered a nuisance? How many people does one have to upset within what period of time?

We intentionally selected a non-team scenario in order to address the complaints from the last year's scenario challenge. So to say we don't care is incorrect. A lot of thought goes into developing these challenges. Every challenge will not be able to please everyone. If you're not a fan of this month's challenge, hopefully next month's will fit your style better. I do appreciate the people who create extra games in order to help others achieve their medals.

I placed someone on my foe list then queued several games and so far the foe feature seems to be working. If it's not working for you then please provide us with some more details so we can look into it.

How the hell is the foe going to work when the idiot has 10 million games in the freaking que? You do that then if it does work you will never get to play another freaking game in it. I am starting to see why people are leaving this site! Nobody wants to get rid of the jackasses but hey if it isn't against the rules then I will join the bs and wait my freaking time all the way down as well! We will see how long it takes these games to finish.

The foe feature seems to be working fine with the two (2) fine candidates I have nominated thus far.

If only I could get rid of that mit guy from all my games...

Heh.

I'm having plenty of fun playing this challenge. When my turn comes up, I play it, I have fun. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. If I win, it happens on my turn, and I have fun. If I lose, it happens on someone else's turn, and I'm not even aware of it, so it doesn't bother me.

I'm not being a dick here, but I really honestly cannot understand why someone would care about how long other people take to play their turn. I really, really don't understand that. I don't pay the slightest attention to how long my opponents are spending on their turns and I honestly can't imagine why I would care. I play the turns in front of me, not the turns that are not in front of me.

If the issue is that you feel you're not playing enough, then join more games. I always have more turns in front of me than I actually have time to take.

At first, when I read this earlier, I logged off thinking that you made a pretty good argument.

Then I thought about it.

It doesn't really matter to me how you run your games. Go ahead. Run your games the way you like. That's cool. How you run your games? Has zero effect on me. But I now have a third player running so many games that they can't keep up and are missing turns. Their choice has had a negative impact on at least a number of players (myself included) and how they run their games. That needs to matter to you as a leader.

I find it frustrating because I personally only run so many games at any given time. I don't want to miss a turn. I make notes, even in these games as to where my next hit should be. And these players, in my estimation, with what I deem as self indulgent behaviour that mirrors someone taking all the chicken wings that are out at the pot luck supper because they can, don't care. The fact that they know you are waiting in line behind them? Waiting to get some wings? They don't give a shit. Their selfishness is an FU to everyone in line behind them.

I'll finish up my current games in this set. Then I'm done.

I know. It doesn't matter to you.

Ok.

-------Not to mention there are now 6 jackasses delaying games. If they all get into one game. The other 2 players. Will have to wait 6 days to take a turn...NOPE PEOPLE, NOTHING WRONG HERE. JUST JOIN MORE GAMES... :lol: :lol: :lol: Now The High Command is making less and less sense. As they try to defend a ruling. That ignores their own rules and guidelines...NO,NEED TO SHOW THEM AGAIN. IT LOOKS LIKE THE HIGH COMMAND CAN'T READ WHAT'S IN FRONT OF THEM. I SEE WHY... THE CONCEPT OF TIME ALSO ELUDES THEIR GRASP. ;) ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion). :D

good new c-r only had 11 waiting and 184 active... oi agree with duk ; i have plenty of turns to play and i try not to be impatient about ones wiating , but thats me ...

as far as the long delY IN TAKING TURNS I AM HAPPIER BEING AN OPTIMIST ABOUT HUMAN NATURE THOUGH THAT PROBABLY MEANS I'M SURPRISED BY MALICIOUSNESS MORE THAN OTHERS ; I WILL ASSUME C-R IS LIKE ME AND SOMETIMES LEAVES CC OPEN WHILE DOING TASKS FOR WORK ETYC , AND THEN WHEN NEEDS A BREAK COMES BACK FOR A FEW TURNS ; NO WAY TO TELL WITHOUT TRACKING KEYSTROKES ...


OPPS SOrry for sloppy typing ; i wish caps locks were further away from the a key ...

@@@@@@@@@

I wonder if some are under the misapprehension thaty this challence ge gives extras for finishing in the top ten?
I wish either my father or my mother, or indeed both of them as they were in duty both equally bound to it, had minded what they were about when....

If 2 player fog game,please allow 12 hour snap courtesy, or post what I could have seen.... Thank you

Enough, its enough now this is going way too far!! Im really shocked and i cant believe what is written here about me. What is going on here is this a with hunt and do i have to jump from a building now, do you guys want me to quite playing on conquer club or what is this? I never ever experienced this in my whole life. Now i feel what bullying feels like. This is NOT okay!
You guys are very very dark if you can talk about another player with the whole group like this! I just paid 2 weeks ago for an premium upgrade for 1 year so i thought i had the same rights as any other paying customer on this site. From the beginning of this challenge i dont have the feeling that im doing anything wrong. So i dont deserve this, its not okay. Maybe im the only one with an job, study, house, bills to pay but i dont think so? What im saying is that i Can only login and play games at a couple moments during the day. Maybe you guys have plenty of time but i just cant affort it to play games during the day. Thats why they invented an 24 hours turn clock for ppl like me! Im very happy in my real life but also very bussy and you have to respect that i maybe have an different life style then yourself. And to clear my name i want an apolagie cause i think Nobody on this site deserves it to get bullied away by an group of players. I think nobody will stand up for me thats why im standing up for myself now you can send me an pm, do it here or on my wall whatever feels good for you but i want to see an apolagie. Thanks and have a nice day
