“I wasn't going to bother with a match report, as quite often, when I read the reports of the last 5 commented games, I tend to see plenty of people bemoaning the terrible luck they had, and think that they may just be sore losers. And then I read CalciumHitboneSquad's view of events, and decided that maybe I would.

People get 'dice-raped' or however you choose to express it on here all the time, everyone suffers from it occasionally, and this was one of those occasions for me. Big whoop. This alone wouldn't have bothered me.

I can't really see how I 'cherry-picked' a multi-guard Dwarf team that was the suggested match-up on gamefinder. I've always said that I don't pay much attention to CR, so I never really care when offering.

So then, the game.

My opponent seemed to care that the game had spectators (a couple of WIL guys had dropped in for a watch), and one stage stopped the match claiming that it was his game, so he could chose not to have any. An arguement, a trip to the admin channel later, and a reminder that his PC must have a volume control, and we resumed. Unfortunately the exchange between he and I caused me to mess up my offensive position, and I trailed 1-0. That was my fault. I believe I made one 'lol' comment at a poor roll whilst the luck on his side was still >80% in turn 5 or 6, and this drew yet more comments about myself being a 'whiner'. The rest of what transpired wasn't my fault, but as I've already said, it happens.

Being diced is never fun. Being diced by an opponent that made the game thoroughly unspleasant and indeed unfriendly has put me in a rather fed up mood. Having read a few of his previous match reports since the match, I see it's pretty common.

In 652 games, my third ever blacklisting. Way to go.
