New to League, seeking a game. G40.

[erinmores]

@cds down for G40, NT but hate LL, has to be a dice game.

[erinmores]

@oysteilo hi. I’m down for AA G40. Noob, so no tier rating yet. Why not give me a bid and allies and let’s give it a go. I’ll go easy on you.

[erinmores]

@simon33 am new here. No tier-rating, yet. Give me Allies and a bid, I promise to go easy on you.

@erinmores

No, thanks. You dislike LL, I dislike dice :) Also kinda busy with a couple of games already. Good luck finding someone to play with.

I’m still open to new games but do you really want another mismatched game. I noticed you just played farmboy. I’d think it would have to be off league.

[erinmores]

@simon33 Look, I’m too new to understand if Playing Farmboy is a good or bad thing. If you feel I’m going to be outmatched by you, give me a bid. The game with Farmboy was my first time ever playing the balanced Mod. VERY DIFFERENT than what I’m used to. I prefer not that map…but if we are on Bal Mod and you are as good or better than Farmboy…then give me a better bid, same map, me Allies and let’s go in League.

I’ll only play off league but I’ll give you +40 to play allies in vanilla if you would prefer that.

[erinmores]

@simon33 I’ll take the 40. I’m good with G40, let’s try Balanced Mod – this is where you guys like to play, so I’ll learn it. what’s your email? I will start thread in NON league

[simon33]

@erinmores the bid should be lower in bm so do you want g40 or bm?

[erinmores]

@simon33 G0, 40 ipc. know that board a lot better. Will work on bid and post thread

[erinmores]

@simon33 for dice, Bolderbob@aol.com. Bid 40: Amur, Sakha - one fighter each. Scotland - one fighter. SZ 98 sub, Anglo-Egypt Art

Guess that counts me out. :(

[DizzKneeLand33]

If you don’t want to play, then just tell me you don’t want to play, but don’t lie about it. I don’t even get it.

I know I tried some weird strategies and now am at Tier 3. I did that to see if this game has any flexibility over the typical things. I don’t think it does, but I’m not the best player either.

But there have been years that I was Tier 1. However, now that I’m Tier 3 no one will play me anymore (ironically, not even Tier 3 players). So, I guess I’ll go play a different game. That’s sad, because I really like this one.

I won’t call anyone out here. You know who you are.

[DizzKneeLand33]

League should be about players playing players, not only certain levels playing certain levels. I guess it just won’t ever change.

[DizzKneeLand33]

Sorry, the current propaganda across this world is driving me over the edge. All I want to do is play a game, since I can’t even watch any sports anymore either. I apologize.

[dawgoneit]

@DizzKneeLand33 i agree though. they’ve made it so no one will play us. and i’ve paid the full amount of payments for years. i think that should count for something. may be a look at the point system. i’ll play ya in a game DizzKneeLand33

[DizzKneeLand33]

Sounds great, @dawgoneit ! Do you like BM3 with normal league bidding rules? Or let me know what you like – you can PM me that and your bid. Let’s have some fun!

It’s definitely not personal, but the ranking system doesn’t really allow for play were opponents have a big gap. Being, say, tier E and playing tier 3 means that the higher ranked player will lose ranking no matter what. It’s actually flawed in that respect.

Perhaps implementing something like the chess Elo-rating could solve this? I believe that ranking system could be incorporated as it is, without much tweaks. Obviously a draw is not really on the table here, but that’s not even an issue.

I’ll post this idea in a more proper thread, but wanted to air it here since I felt your frustration.
