“(15:49:56) (Wizard) it was a throw away foul for fun
(15:50:06) (Wizard) did you really think you would lose your precious treeman?
(15:50:22) (Wizard) you take this game to seriously man
(15:50:22) (R_Spiskit) then why foul it?
(15:50:29) (R_Spiskit) and ignore the ball
(15:50:35) (Seppuku) and no late foul has any reason...you may explain it as "fun", but what point does it have?
(15:50:38) (Wizard) i had a death, 2 x SI and 2 bh - not one complaint
(15:51:49) (Seppuku) no, i'm not playing you again because you passed up a chance to put a TZ on the ball carrier near your EZ, and fouled my Tree instead
(15:53:59) (astrix) btw seppuku must be weird , thats what i see when i follow the gamechat dialogs of him (hmm nasty expressions )
(15:54:58) (Seppuku) i'm not angry enough about the fouls to call you an idiot, i'm calling you an idiot because you seem idiotic enough to defend your actions as "fun"
(15:59:30) (Kalamona) i played wizard and after a half of fouling i asked if it was hie playing style and he said yes
(16:00:09) (Seppuku) calgar1728: since you want to stick your nose in, give us your view on ...passing up a potential draw so they can foul a positional ...because they are going to retire the team?...
(16:00:49) (Wizard) draw??? you were winning 2 -1
(16:04:57) (Seppuku) Wizard: I was leading 2-1. I stole the ball. You passed up an opportunity to put a TZ on my ball carrier. If I'd failed a Blitz, or a Dodge, as I had no re-rolls, you COULD have gotten the ball back and scored. You passed this chance up for a foul.
(16:05:57) (Wizard) so my strategy was to rely on you failing?...
(16:07:39) (Seppuku) Your strategy was to forgoe ANY chance of a draw, and foul my Tree instead. That is what I dislike about coaches like you, but I'm not alone. I know what kind of coach I am, accept what you are and move on.
(16:07:58) (Wizard) but how could i have hoped to damage the tree??
(16:08:11) (R_Spiskit) THEN WHY DO IT?????????????????????
(16:08:34) (Wizard) cause if i had of killed a tree, that would be cool... hello...
(16:09:14) (Seppuku) any foul, assisted or not, has the potential to RIP/niggle a player...and late in the game, with a team you have already decided to retire, is just lame.


I think Wizards last line in response to R_Spiskit's question sums it up...I got the ref on T1, and fouled 4 or 5 times in the half, getting 1 cas. Wizard claimed I "killed his team" because of fouling...well, 1 cas and 1 of his Vamps KO'd (that stayed out on the restart) isn't "team killing" in my book, but hey...each to their own. Either way, I have been in games 2-0 up, 7 turns to go, got the ref, and passed up any fouls, because of of the cas rate i'd already caused, and the 100% chance of a win. Killing or maiming players isn't nice for your oppo (generally), and especially in Faction, you must bear in mind the coach you screw over for every foul, cas, block, stomp, boot and surf might be that easy game you need to win promotion/a medal next round...and how likely is he to take you on if you took great delight in surfing his 79spp un-niggled star on T16 "just because I could, and it was a hoot" ????

Was a fair enough game, apart from the apparent decision at 1-2, and just having lost the ball, to abandon all hope and try to kill something. "It's in the rules, it's fun, it'd be waaaay cool to kill a Tree with no assists" etc etc. It's also in the rules to turn games down in the future.

Shame on you Wizard, but never mind, my DNP list isn't so bad, it's a place you might meet other like-minded fellows...who knows, you may meet a guy you really like...get friendly and have lovely (or should I say 'foul'?) times together...

EDIT: "The sad part is you think people read this and care...."

Actually, no...I hope a small number of people read this, laugh at you, and will think twice before playing you. That's all. And as I've already had several people thank me, and several more tell me they laughed a lot, I might think "job done..."
