I don't think it's really necessary to call out specific people on the forums

"Bad form, Peter, bad form!"

Hi. This isn't dota, please stop bragging about people leaving. On behalf of the Demigod forums. Shut your face.

Thanks.

Man, some people have no sense of humor geez lighten up a little.

Anyway, I was on Mauxe's team yesterday in the game with mrjonnynoir. The opposition wasn't doing a bad job. I think they killed me once and maybe another team mate. We killed mrjonnynoir once early and then around level 6-7 he went alone to one of our portals to capture it ( this is on cataract ).  I teleported down, our Rook was close so he joined in the fun. myjonnynoir's team mate ( Unclean Beast ) teleported down to the now captured flag to support and was doing a good job causing me to have to retreat at 40% health and then Mauxe joins the fray coming from the 15% health flag to cut off mrjonynoir's retreat. mrjonnynoir dies and immediately quits. What does mrjonnynoir expect? "Hey, I'm going to jump down and capture the other teams portal flag and no one is going to oppose me but if I die that's it! This other team must be cheating!" Has he never heard of a teleport scroll? His teammates were doing a good job, especially the UB and it was a back and forth fight the whole time.

Itt's just plain unsportsman like. His quit caused another one of this teammates to quit and left their poor UB to fend for himself. It was lame. He singlenhandedly ruined the game or his team mates so yeah, maybe he deserves a little calling out.

This.

Stardock/GPG need to do something about it, until then it's a waste of time moaning.  I've had rage quits in about my last 3 games, that's a lot of forum posts if I brag about every one.

Another polarizing moment of humor.

@TheMystic - I was going for the similar feel of a Craigslist posting.  I think I nailed it.

@Aviyur - I have not ever played, nor even seen, dota.  I apologize if my post offends in any way.  It is merely a humorous outlet to a frustrating situation.  While I can see where it looks like bragging the truth is that people sometimes quit when their own actions don't end up as planned.  Our game was close AND fun until this moment.  Nobody, myself included, was dominating more than anybody else.  Suddenly we went from "tense and fun" to "hm".

@pseudomelon - I somewhat agree.  I do not think that it is necessary to call individuals out on the forums, yet I also don't believe that it is wrong to do so.  A recent Journal entry tells us that an update to the game will include a displayed disconnect percentage.  That same entry specifically states the obvious truth that people with high percentages will be dropped from games (by other players) as well as to be given a lower priority (by the game) for Skirmish and Pantheon games.  This is a call out.

Also I would like to point out that the forums actually are a place to post anything from observations to strategies to personal experiences to technical issues.  Posting something like this in the Craigslist Missed Connections would be pointless.  (almost)Nobody there would appreciate the humor or be able to provide their own spin - positive or negative.  That's the beauty of having a specific community.

Finally:  to mrjohnynoir - I WILL play with or against you again should the situation arise.  However, if your d/c percentage gets too high...

"Hall of Shame" thread is evidence enough that this kind of thing DOES belong on the forums.

Please also be aware that he may have been disconnected being as the game doesn't say Player Has Quit compared to Player Has Been Disconnected. I play with a few friends and they'll get disconnected from time to time. It's kinda funny to see the other team yell out at the "ragequit" even though we know his computer just crashed. But you never know maybe this guy did quit.

~Lowered Expectations~

Rage quit results in the inability to play online again for at least 15minutes and a % loss of your "exp points" in the tournament standings. Ofc they'd have to fix the irritating loading bug and tournaments stats first =/
