I literally cannot believe this is even a debate. How many of you have ever played an organized sport or any competitive event in real life before? You play until the end of the game and don't give up. I cannot believe people are actually on here saying that he should have just rolled over and conceded? Anyway, like someone said, Gumby might have prolonged it by what, one round? He then adds an extra 30 rounds to "teach him a lesson"? I would NEVER expect someone to give up against me even if it is a bit annoying when a game goes on for another round or two. A lot of the people in this thread are almost as ridiculous as the immature 39 year old who threw a temper tantrum because he had to god forbid, take an extra turn.

You dropped out of my tourney after losing just the first game. (viewtopic.php?f=680&t=144902). How does that give you any right to talk about not giving up? The answer is that it doesn't. You're a hypocrite and a flamer/baiter.

Benzorrr has been disqualified because he failed to join in a decent time frame or contact me. Everyone will now have a bye-round. I'll figure out what to do with the one game that Benzorrr did play (and lose).

Even with all of this argument about whether it is sporting or not, as it stands our rules state that hostage holding is not allowed. As much as the OP was out of line in his comments, it's still not OK for anyone to hold someone hostage in a game just to get back at them. If the community doesn't like the fact that crude language is allowed, put in a suggestion.

This isn't the place for these debates, though, so take it somewhere else.

Comments:
At round 14 the game was, for all intense purposes, decided. babagonosh had me cornered and completely outnumbered. He even stated that it would be over in 2 more rounds (the game was "Trench" so he was unable to eliminate me in 1 turn). I hate giving up however, so I cashed my cards and continued to attack (extending the game another few rounds). I even made a joke about it, posting that it would take him 3 more rounds to finish me off now. For some reason babagonosh took exception to the fact that I did not lay down and give up for him. Instead of ending the game in 3 more turns, he held me hostage on 2 territories in Australia and continued to build his troops around the world. This lasted from approximately 21:39 until 22:02, and extended the game until round 42. He still refused to end the game, and forced me to sit out and get "kicked out" of the game for missing 3 turns. I never miss a turn, and I hate doing this. He gave me no other option. His excuse for doing this was that he was teaching me a lesson because I didn't role over and give him the game, instead I cashed my cards and attacked him. This is very poor sportsmanship and I feel it goes against at least 2 of the 3 ratings on Conquer Club, fair play and attitude. It was totally unfair and unreasonable for him to make me have to get kicked out of a game just to finish it. He should be held accountable for this.

by the way.. an argument can be made that when you have no chance of winning a game, it's unsportsmanlike to not roll over.. not saying that people should, just saying the argument could be made...

You must have never played a sport in your life. If I was your parent and you just gave up because you were losing, I would have whooped your ass.

stop it... your analogy is CC=sports?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
