Conquer Club

Accused: garcesico

The accused is suspected of: hostage-taking


Other: <Explanation>

I have been reduced to total incapacity in this game. But instead of finishing me off, he is fiddling around capturing neutrals. This is even AFTER I have made it clear to him in chat that I am there for the finishing. Meanwhile, that is one game slot that is now being choked.

Game number(s): 14987102

Comments: How about adding a 'withdraw from game'or 'surrender' button as an option?

That's fucked up! This shouldn't be tolerated

Just to answer some of your questions the withdraw or surrender button has been suggested many times before and has been repeatedly denied because of previous players abusing it. The game you pointed out appears to show that the accused has not attacked you for two rounds and instead has decided to take neutral territories. While you may consider this hostage taking some other people may wish to see a longer duration as an example. Also your opponent appears to be a cook from Spain so it is possible that the player does not really have much of a strategy, or understands English. It could even be possible that the accused has some desire that requires him or her to completely conquer the board.

wait... how can something be abused if it has never been implemented... *chuckles*...-Jésus noir™

p.s.-i hate when people do this.

I should have clarified from what I can gather there used to be a surrender button but it was removed after repeated abuse by some players. I am not too sure how long ago this was but it was probably many years ago. Since then the suggestion to reintroduce a surrender or withdraw button has come up time and time again but has been repeatedly denied because of past abuses.

Doesn't look like it is isolated either.

It is now Tuesday 4 Nov 7:14pm (by my time)... and he is still killing neutrals.

Has anyone asked him to finish this game? 3 days, and 3 turns of hitting neutrals seems to be a bit extreme considering the troop count

Pretty much the same thing happening with Cargo Airships. I was forced to deadbeat versus playing as many turns as he felt like playing. Game 15009070 if you would like to see the history.

2014-11-05 19:48:02 - sleepykarly missed a turn
2014-11-05 19:48:02 - sleepykarly was kicked out for missing too many turns

OP had to deadbeat to finish the game.
A freemium just had to deadbeat.
Case seems so obvious I am surprised you guys needed time to do smthg about it ?

If something was done being the scene, accept my apologies.

This report has been noted and he has been contacted about the rule regarding this.
