What to do when person threatens people when he's attacked?

I'm playing in a game right now that's been going on 58 rounds, since november 3rd, and it's been down to 3 of us since almost the beginning.

Since it's 3-way, every time somebody gets a little stronger than the others, one or both attack.

One player for some reason keeps leaving his bonuses undefended, so it is easy to break them. However, when he gets attacked, he keeps threatening to "report" the other two, and threatens to leave negative feedback.

I have taken great care to have a spotless feedback record, and this guy is acting crazy. I think that he is trying to bully us into never attacking his undefended bonuses.

So my question is whether there is anything I can do about this to not end up with negative feedback? Should I report this guy for trying to intimidate us into never attacking him? It seems to be a type of harrassment and against the spirit of the game. Thanks in advance.

HaHaHa whats the game no. This blokes tactics are ok by me might start adopting them myself :D I would just attack him and to hell with the feedback. You are bound to get a negative one sooner or later because there are so many knob heads on here. Just attack his arse and put him on ignore if you dont like the way he plays. Personally I havent got a problem with it

the game number is 1131379.

Ok, I'll just suck it up and take the negative feedback. I suppose it happens. Kind of a sleazy strategy by him, if you ask me, even if it doesn't rise to the level of cheating or abuse.

You can always leave him feedback, too... Just make sure it isn't just about the feedback he leaves you. Actually discuss and analyze what he did.

also, you may very well be able to get it called revenge feedback, if you dont say or do anything bad in there, and show his threats... on the other hand, maybe you should just hang back yourself, and not attack.. wait him out... best punishment....

I had a similar problem a few months ago - I was in a game where this person was not playing well and was about to be eliminated from the game. He got angry and started saying that he was going to leave everyone in the game a neg f/b and report all of us for secret alliances. As soon as the game ended I left him a neg f/b for his poor playing style and poor sportsmanship. He then left me a neg f/b calling me a cheater etc, etc. I filled out an e-ticket about his neg f/b he left me - it took about a week but the mods did remove it.
Me and everyone else in that game put this guy on our ignore list but he started sending us rude pms - then he started going into our active games and leaving messages that we were cheaters - we couldn't see it b/c he was on our ignore list but the people in our games let us know what was going on. It was reported to the mods and they gave him a warning which did make him stop (either that or he's still crying in a corner somewhere).
Anyways I would suggest that you simply ignore what he is saying in game chat and play how you would normally. At the end of the game you can leave him a neg f/b for his "scare" tactics. If he leaves you a neg f/b just fill out an e-ticket - the mods will deal with it, they are pretty reasonable about things like that. It will be annoying while you have the neg but it is only just one and most likely it will get deleted eventually.

Good Luck and I hope you kick his ass in your game
