Other than Well Named, who else are we about to "permanently" ban? - Page 107

I like Quarrrr as a person, but he has been skirting the line between apologetic and patronizing after each transgression. I am easily open to forgiving someone who is genuinely sorry and tries to improve, but I do not believe Quarrrr intends to do the respectful thing at this particular moment in time, for whatever reason. The lack of respect for others combined with the lack of acknowledged self responsibility is why I think he may deserve a sanction, and I'm generally very laissez faire

Let me just stop you right here. Don't take offense to this but you nor anyone else is the authority on whether plays are +EV or -ev.

You don't police this claim at all. You police the quitting and strictly the quitting.

We don't want our mods big Brothering our strategical decisions, just our decisions that hurt the game from a game integrity or participation standpoint.

that's why you get paid the big bucks hoya

i propose a temporary 1 month off

just pretend it was only because of the zero posting as a wolf if the other thing makes you queasy (understandable). i don't believe it would be remotely controversial or unwarranted given the seeming lack of remorse or acknowledgement that some people gaf about the games

i don't think there is any behavior that won't be defended by someone here.

sounds like a previous troublemaker just straight ruined a game and quit because he didnt feel like playing. who wants to sign up to play with a guy like that? hang em high

I think I'm going to have to just say there's a "know it when you see it" standard regarding actively giving the finger to the games, and that Quarrrr satisfies that standard, particularly given that in his very last game he simply quit and was warned, and openly dumped his obligation to help his team in the next one.

Also, this just kind of ticks me off:

When you sign up, you commit to play. We can't run games if people view playing as optional.

You can expect either a significant infraction or ban after we discuss this.

I think the two most pertinent things to remember are:

1. ALL you have to do is tell the mod you are out / have an issue, and you have solved about 95% of the problem. I straight-up reject any argument that one can become so busy that that's impossible. When you don't tell the mod, you screw over the mod, who has no idea wtf to do about your non-participation, and who doesn't know if you'll show up or not.

2. When you ditch a game, you break the game by tanking your team's win equity, which is bad but made way worse by the fact that it's rude and arrogant. The players put in time they could spend, like you chose to spend, doing something else. They chose to play a game with you, which you chose to **** up. So lame and lazy.

So from my own subjective judgement ban would be unnecessery.

That's the "lack of self responsibility" that I think is even more worthy of contempt than the actual deed

Quarrrr will not be playing any WW games for two months. I think that he knew what he was doing and enjoyed trolling people about it. I also think that infractions do nothing at all to prevent him from doing it again, as public censure and his own alleged guilt and consternation about his mistake seemed to have no effect on him.

If I see him sign up for a game between now and March 12, 2015, I will simply ban him and lobby for some sort of massively long 2p2 ban. This means that game mods do not have the flexibility to let him play until March 13, 2015. If you tell him he can, you're just getting him banned.

Quarrrr, if you utilize a gimmick to play I will have you perma'd from 2p2. Please take the time to cool off and work out why you're enjoying trolling games so much, or why you're signing up if you dislike them this much, and come back fresher.

EDIT: If you come back and do it again, I will have you perma'd for that reason, by the way. It's all your call, and you're welcome to contribute to POG in other constructive ways.

Sounds appropriately lawyery; A+ use of consternation.

Quarrrr, hope to play with the non-troll version of you sometime in the future. I think most of us liked that guy when he wasn't being selfish.

I have no problem with the process you went with.

A more substantial contributor to POG might expect more leeway...but this seems appropriate given the immediacy of the past indiscretion making it less likely he "forgot" all about acceptable standards.

You definitely need to play a game, Chips. I reread your evisceration of Hurp in a f5 the other day and thought to myself, I wonder what happened to Chips...

In this scenario whilst I'm not feeling the need of my wolfread to flip, do I still claim? I do.

Everything it was, was just a feeling, that I am gonna be dieing in curiousity in the accuracy of my reads d2 if I'm not gonna see my wolfread flip. It had no weigh to my decision to claim.

EDIT// Everybody can go and see my games history where I'm never suspected throughout the game once go to sleep, wake up to see I've been lynched cause people didn't find a lynch.

People are putting others on ignore, lynching for reasons like "you spam", "you troll", "Your mum", have person aimed fights for pages and god knows what else, now for those who actually solve the game, this ruins the game for them just as much as my poor decision to hard claim did for you. Hint hint, I'm one of the players who actually wants to solve the game, but I have never till now complained about it.

I said in the gamethread I was honest saying the point I'm being punished for was not the reason that I hardclaimed for.

And like I said, if I say honest, it means I am.

See this is where reading into a person would come handy, maybe somebody?

I'm fine with ban but don't you ****ing dare to take yourself a right to make a completely wrong assumption that I would purposely **** others over in a game or call me a liar.
