Comments:
So A friend of mine who doesn't play any more told me about this game, so I checked it out. My friend Herschal (red in that game) Was doing well and so was orange. My friend was very low ranked and so Sylvania (blue) decided to suicide to kill Herschal so that the higher ranked Orange would win. I think it is illegal, but if not it is still a dick move.
The game happened a while ago, and I hope it is not to late, but I just heard about it recently.

seems fine to me. i mean this game is about strategy and some people care about there rank, if u cant win of course ud rather hv the person who has the higher rank win, anybody who cares about there rank would do this. iv seen this done a million times. bk when i was first playing CC i got smashed left right and centre when joining games with numerous players with high ranks, theyd simply take me out if i was gonna win, sure i felt hard done by but then i saw it from there point of view.\
the answer is simple join games with people of similar rank as urself or play 1vs1.
if the accused is found guilty u might as well condemn all high ranked players of being guilty as this happens all the time why lose 50points when u can lose 20?
ask any high ranked player if theyd rather lose 50 or 20 and the answer will be 20.

But in saying that i do not agree with the accused's actions in the game posted. she joined a game with low rank players and got lippy and abbusive. that kind of behaviour is unacceptable and takes the fun outta the game. if she didnt wanna lose bulk points she should not hv joined that game.

I agree that a lot of players out there value their rank more than what we think. If they are about to lose a game, they would rather lose to an opponent with the highest rank so as to lose less points. This is noted.
