Noted gannable intentionally deadbeating in polymorphic [ka]

[betiko]

gannable
this guy is deadbeating his turns for the sake of annoying me because I am winning or to gain an advantage, such as me hitting the forbidden lands thinking he has given up after his 3 consecutive missed turns in polymorphic
Game 14241007

This is either a shit attitude or very cheap tactics and intentionally deadbeating like he is doing over the past 3 days is against the rules. we are talking about a tournament game so no FAMO possible. Oh and deadbeating in standard is definitely not the same thing as doing it in speed games. In speed games it's not the end of the word; here i have to wait 6 full days in polymorphic 2, and I'm pretty sure he will play again just before he loses a player.

here are all his other active games, as you can see, all turns are taken (the last one has 1 missed turn though)

Game 14256515

that would be me telling him GG because unless I'm suicidal there is no way he can come back. i think he started deadbeating after I said "gg".. which is the only thing in the game chat lol.

oh and I see he replied today on sempai's wall:


russia is fine

He is definitely missing his turns on purpose to gain strategic advantage or because he is a sore loser.


Unwritten Rules

Obviously any gross abuse of the game is forbidden. This includes but is not limited to: throwing games or deliberately benefiting from thrown games, intentional deadbeating, holding players hostage, serial teammate killing, hijacking accounts, systematically "farming" new recruits and colluding with other players in any way to manipulate the scoring system.

Doh! Betiko, I fail my reading comprehension check for today! My bad, man. =)

how does this give him an advantage?

how does this give him an advantage?

an opponent that loses his temper is a weaker opponent.
but he's probably just aiming to piss betiko off for the fun of it or out of spite, not for tactical advantages.

to win on this map you need to attack a 30 neutral in order to attack his castles (forbidden lands). it looks like he is doing this so that I attack it and with a counter attack if i fail, he wins. basically hoping for me to lose my patience and to attack it before he misses 4 turns or so. totally a dick move.

i hardly think this can happen in no spoils, unless he's been stacking the entire game.

He sees i take the victory for granted as I said gg. He then misses his turns hoping i will take down forbidden lands and fail to kill him, so he can counter attack and kill me easy if you know the map.
The question isn t about him doing it to take advantage or not (although by doing this my bet is that he is). The thing is that he is intentionally missing his turns for the last 3/4 days while he plays all his other turns as proved in the OP, and from my understanding you are not allowed to purposely deadbeat like that.
Not to mention that with a poly quads you could deadbeat up to 12 days, or even come back and deadbeat again to reset the missed turns.

he has to bomb 9 blue territories and 3 yellow territories. I don't think he can do it with 3 deploy. You will have time to counterattack his deferred troops.

Do you guys want to be waiting for 24 hrs while the other player is capable of taking his turn but doesn't want to be bothered with it because he thinks the game is lost already? You will only take turns in games when you think you still have a chance in winning?

This report shall be noted for future reference in case he does this again of leaving the game when he already sees the game is lost.

[jltile1]

Wait what gannable in a tiff ? I'm taking notes now.

Correct me if I'm wrong.... but did he not pay for his 24 hours?

[king achilles]

He was contacted to take his turn rather than continuing to miss turns.

[betiko]

thank you KA

in that logic lynch; you also pay to get the most fun out of a game and that coul include taking a player hostage for someone willing to get all the bonuses possible on a map before finishing the game. i don't really see how it's different to take a player hostage when you win and purposely deadbeat your turns (mostly in polymorphic) when you lose.

[benga]

if betiko was freemium this would be hostage taking...
