13L G40 seththenewb(allies+10) vs MagicQ(axis)

[MagicQ]

@KimRYoung:

I have a question as an observer. If Seth believes that in battles involving Subs vs destroyers should be rolled on the forum, how come no one does this on G1 when the Germans attack SZ111 and this very situation occurs?

I’m hoping to start playing on the forum so I just want to know what would be proper. Thanks

Kim

Welcome aboard! Do not hesitate to play. This is only trivial dispute. Don’t let this discourage you. Some players don’t realize this. Some players don’t care. Some players may want it strictly done as Seth does. Not a big deal. Think about better strategy. That’s more important.

Since Seth is “technically correct”, I will try to compromise and play his way.

[MagicQ]

@seththenewb:

I don’t. Yeah, I’m pretty competitive and I’d rather win than lose. But honestly I love playing the game more than anything and I don’t want to get sucked into a no fun game. Different case for playoff or tourney game. But this doesn’t mean much to me.

And right now this game’s not giving me much joy because myself and MagicQ aren’t on the same page about the sub issue and who knows what else might crop up down the road. If it’s this much hassle, I’d rather focus on my other games and start new ones than continue this one. It’s up to MagicQ though if he’s prepared to spend a couple of seconds to roll sub combat. Besides he never responded to my earlier question about what situation forum dice are needed.

As far as the poll, it’s not needed. I’ve played tons of games in league and nonleague play on this forum. I’ve also lurked in quite a few games. This is the first time I can remember where anyone has had an issue rolling on the forum.

The only other player I can think of is Bold, but that’s more because he has bad luck and blames the forum rather than make & wear garlands of 4 leaf clovers, buy all the rabbit feet available on Ebay, and avoid black cats.  :-P

Hi Seth

In the future battle, we should always ask before rolling any battle involving subs. How about that?

[MagicQ]

Hi Seth

Seems you’ve lost appetite for this game and focus on other games. That’s fine. Report it please if you do wanna give up. If you wanna come back and play it to the bitter end, always welcome. I think I have made it clear for my attitude towards the forum dice issue.

GG or continue? your call.

[seth4god]

Nope, just trying to wrap up a game that should end today. Don’t forget that I’ll sometimes have several days lull between posting turns. I should get a turn in today though.

[seth4god]

Blamo, got the win in the game I was trying to wrap up.

FYI, I try not to check my game threads unless I’m ready for a turn. I’ve got a lot of games going and it’s too easy to lose track of them if I read a game thread without posting.

[MagicQ]

No worry. Take your time.

Had to repost with the fracking dice. Look at that ineptitude! 10 whiffs in the first two rounds and the lone dd gets 2 . . .  TWO hits in those same rounds. Thank God he finally missed in the last round, it was ridiculous enough that I traded destroyers despite having a soak hit and 10-1 odds . . .  :x

Had to repost with the fracking dice. Look at that ineptitude! 10 whiffs in the first two rounds and the lone dd gets 2 . . .  TWO hits in those same rounds. Thank God he finally missed in the last round, it was ridiculous enough that I traded destroyers despite having a soak hit and 10-1 odds . . .   :x

Oh man, that seriously sets a new low for me.  :lol:

Worst battle ever and I can’t blame it on French or Italian forces.  :-P

[boldfresh]

now THAT is freaking awesome.

[gamerman01]

That is unacceptable

You also can’t blame it on it being 1940, 1941, or 1942 for USA because you’re in round 9.

@Gamerman01:

That is unacceptable

How do you think I felt as I watched that battle develop!

That needs to go on some wall of shame somewhere.
