Game number(s):

Game 22375911

Comments: He states it explicitly in the chat. He's upset because he's losing the game and doesn't like how I play, which might be a bit ruthless, but is still fair and above board. I asked him what I did wrong and told him my decision to attack him wasn't personal, but he ignored me.

2023-04-29 12:35:05 - bean__: ha cyan i'll tell you what. i will not attack you anymore, you can win. i am going to kill red.

2023-04-29 12:35:58 - bean__: i rather have cyan win than red. so cyan, i will not attack you anymore, and as far as i am concerend, you can have the game. make red attack you, otherwise just take all of siberia and you can have whats left of me after i exhaust red's resources.

2023-04-29 12:36:18 - bean__: you will know this is legit becuase i will pull all troops out and simply focus on red

2023-04-30 09:48:39 - Anglo Brown: Hey Pink, I didn't mean to rub you the wrong way. What's going on? The 3 of us knocked Green out when he was the leader. I don't see how what I'm doing is different. We didn't have a truce that required notice to break. It was innformal

2023-04-30 09:49:03 - Anglo Brown: I'm not trying to make you have a bad experience. I'm just playing to win

This is not correct at all and a total mischaracterisation of what I was saying and my actions in the game.

I am allowed to communicate potential strategies to other players and ask for alliances. In this case, I was attacking cyan heavily, and decided that the best strategy for me now was to totally focus on red.
I wanted cyan to join this attack, so I communicated it in a very blunt and humorous manner.
This report is disappointing and unsportsmanlike. I strongly dispute this and find it ridiculous and an abuse of the reporting feature.

Now that this game is finished and the fog has lifted I can take a look.

To me it looks like it was a pretty even game between you [red], pink and Cyan when you attacked pink in round 22. From that turn on you were concerned about mainly attacking pink and breaking his bonuses. It is understandable that pink at first tried to take back his bonus but it looks like dice were on your side. For three rounds you relentlessly attacked pink. He tried to counter attack for two rounds but kept losing ground. You seemed to have lost sight of the fact that cyan was attacking you starting in round 26. You kept pink as your target until it was to late.

I don't think pinks actions threw the game. Pink is CLEARED.

Hi Evil Semp,

Thanks for taking time to review this. I raised the report primarily because of Pink's stated intent to attack only me and hand the game to Cyan in the chat. The reason why I focused on him is because he didn't respond to me when I asked him what was wrong and I figured why start hostilities with another player when one player was already committed to destroyinng me. I tried to conquer Pink before Cyan reacted, but that obviously didn't work.

I guess I'm just curious how you interpret comments from Pink like these:

"ha cyan i'll tell you what. i will not attack you anymore, you can win. i am going to kill red."

"so cyan, i will not attack you anymore, and as far as i am concerend, you can have the game."

Thanks.

I did read his comments. I think he meant what he said. Maybe if he had succeeded in crippling you I would have agreed with you. He did back off of his attacks against you. I felt that you continued attacking of pink led to cyan taking advantage to the situation.
