But when you play multiplayer games together, and you play them essentially as a team to the point that you win an inordinate number of games in those specific situations, then it's an issue for the other players. You join a game assuming that everyone is on the up and up. There is a pattern of you two essentially having an unwritten pact (or agreed upon, who knows?) that you basically attempt to rig the games to benefit you two. The reality is, you are negatively impacting the experience of others. So you COULD just say you know, maybe we should play the games straight up OR just don't play those specific game styles with strangers. You've popped up here multiple times - seems as though it's a known issue to you and you just refuse tochange
THIS!
Like, you COULD have played 12 player doubles together, which is fair. You have the same number of players, except that everyone knows you are teamed.
No one would have bothered to report you, or even realised you were husband and wife if you were playing fairly. No one cares who is playing together, or against each other, if they are playing impartially, even if they're a couple.
If I was playing with friends, I'd be just as ruthless to them as anyone else on the board. If you can't do that or it causes arguments, Torres, stick to team games. A friend once invited me to a multiplayer game, and then he Skypes me "Oh wow, didn't think you'd go after me like that." And I said "Every woman for herself." He was in my way, I had my sights on winning.
