why is this funny?

I’ve been doing this here before 2006, many, many games in the league, was an active MOD for many years as well and I can’t recall such a request in the league or in any tourneys. But, as my mother always said it does’t hurt to ask, right? So after just reading your recent pm to me…the only outstanding issue is whether you want to submerge the G subs and your OOL for the navy.

@Pherman1215:

To be clear that I’m conceding in order so I can get as far away from you as I can and not because of any game state that exists.

hmmm, ok? How old are you, 12? Things didn’t work out perfectly with your reasonable request so you are taking your ball and going home? Oh boy….

@Pherman1215:

Enjoy your ill-gotten gains I hope they make you happy.

“ill gotten gains” What did I do? YOU didn’t pay close enough attention and therefore YOU misread the map, YOU didn’t properly protect your navy or for that matter your ITA ground forces in SYR. And then you are sore because I don’t let you change everything after the fact to your advantage once the USA attacked?

If you were unaware, in the league, versus the other gaming thread, we play for a ranking and possible playoff spot. If this were in the gaming thread, where I sometimes help new players get started, I would also have allowed the “oops & redo”. I honestly hope this hasn’t tainted your experience here, there are many great people here, including myself! Who enjoy “matching wits” etc in this crazy game we all seemingly love and hate at times. I hope you continue to play and have fun here, GL & Take care, JWW

sorry for my intrusion here, but i have to say pherman made a perfectly reasonable request. looking at the history, i can see how the map can easily be misread, and i think it’s perfectly good sportsmanship to give your opponent the benefit of the doubt. we’re not playing for gold here. sure this league is competitive, but i really don’t think that should get to our heads and come in the way of our being gaming friends and a fun community of gamers.

jww i hope you don’t take this the wrong way, i really am not wanting to take sides or anything. i have played both of you and i respect both of you as really solid players. i know you both about the same, so i have no reason to pick a side at the expense of the other. it’s my hope that you guys can agree to let this one flow under the bridge and keep a strong spirit of competitive but fun-first gaming going.

@Pherman1215:

Don’t act like you’re somehow representative of the community on here.

:? did this somehow offend you, I honestly hope this hasn’t tainted your experience here, there are many great people here, including myself! Who enjoy “matching wits” etc in this crazy game we all seemingly love and hate at times. I hope you continue to play and have fun here, GL & Take care, JWW

@Pherman1215:

Everyone else I’ve played has been super chill

I guess I am guilty as charged, not “super chill”.  :lol:

@Pherman1215:

and want to play peoples best game

Agreed, and perhaps your BEST GAME will now include being more observant so you don’t find yourself in these situations again.

@Pherman1215:

just let them think they have won, put them on my don’t play again list and move on with my life.

Sounds like a wise philosophy my friend. Take care

Hello axis-dominion, I hope you are well

@axis-dominion:

sorry for my intrusion here, but i have to say pherman made a perfectly reasonable request.

No need to apologize and I appreciate your opinion. Not that I need to provide clarification on my decision but in the league or in tourneys I simply draw the line at requests such as this, that are made a few turns down the road and only after after your opponent realizes their “blunder”. We all make mistakes such as this, I certainly do and I live with them once they get to this point. This is my internal guidebook and as all of our rules allow, I hold my opponents to the same standard. If that means I am not Super Chill, well then I am guilty as charged.  8-)

@axis-dominion:

i really don’t think that should get to our heads and come in the way of our being gaming friends and a fun community of gamers.

I have been doing this here for WAY too long, played thousands of games against thousands of opponents and I have never found myself in this situation. You would be extremely hard pressed to find anyone that would say anything negative about my history here or doubt that I am not all about contributing to an active and fun gaming experience for all. I contribute both my time and money on this site. I welcome newbies and help them along and find their way. In my many years as an active MOD I have seen people throwing tantrums like this before, sorry, this qualifies as a tantrum. And typically the second or third tantrum is days, weeks, months away and then they leave. Time will tell if this is the last such issue for our gaming friend.

No worries brother, I can respect your opinion here. Ya know, It’s really quite simple. We have a set of rules, all we need to do is follow them…mistakes are made when we play, abide by the rules that govern us, get over your mistakes, I do &  carry on. simple…DarthMaximus and myself drafted our first set of league rules back in 08-09. Following them has served us well. No need to change now.

My unsolicited thoughts on what appears to be a pretty tight game…

Had pherman known that the planes were all in algeria he would not likely have left his fleet to die at their hands.  While his request to change did come multiple turns down the road, it wasn’t until he was attacked by planes he thought could not reach that he realized his misreading of the map.  Tough one - I’ve been there.  I’ve learned to carefully confirm what is where on the map using the “territory” tool - when you don’t, things get into the gray which is where y’all are.  Hope you can work it out.

I trust you can agree to these terms going forward?
