Im in the same boat, with slightly more points. My favor is basically frozen. Doesn't go up or down at all.

[quote who="Jdub121686" reply="11" id="2218346"]uuga booga, big words hurt tiny brain! wwaagghhh[/quote] most boring reply ever

ya, I have to agree. I played DS 1 back in the day but since then nothing has been very noticeable (for me). Demigod however, is awesome sauce

I think they have both learned a valuable lesson that, out here in the real world your actions have consequences. It's not like they were yelling at their grandma or their parents. SD and Frogboy have no obligation to eat crow, nor should they. You want to express an opinion, fine, but don't think you can just run off at the mouth and not get called on it.

[quote who="rhymfaxe" reply="11" id="2216893"] That's not to say that if the current trend of ragequitting causing an unravelling of the game isn't equally bad design (I'll call it design even though it was obviously unintended), but your point 4 is like giving a car with quadratic wheels triangular wheels and pretending it's fixed.[/quote] I will never understand why people keep using this line of reasoning. It's absolutely ludicrous to imply that because so

That would be nice void, but they will just unplug their modem or some such to avoid the penalty.

ya, vista 64 and firefox here. You might wanna check your plug-ins (if any) I just put firefox on this comp about 3 weeks ago and I am running it without any plugs.

[quote]3. Even by your standards of the community, your proposed response to ragequitters is wasting potential members of the community. Again, not everyone shares your moralized view of the subject but people will generally adapt to the conventions of a community because getting along with others is in their own interest. If you can convince people not to ragequit with a polite argument or request, then your actions have helped the community gain a member(unde

Server split again. Custom game

[quote who="TheTrav" reply="6" id="2215135"] If we've got that then we can just go "ok you there with 5 wins zero losses and 12 disconnections you're either ragey mc rage a lot, or crappy mc network pants" and boot him/her out instead of taking what looks to be a slightly worse than 50:50 chance that they'll stay in the game[/quote] I lol'd. And I agree. As far as banlists, I understand some of the points against a personal banlist, and they may be va

I'm unsure if it is possible to do that, unless you mean to show quits instead of disconnects. People will just plug pull to avoid leaving via the interface if they know they will get a slight to their record, and I don't know if it is possible to distinguish between legitimate network issues and plug pulling.

I seem to be running into a lot of server splits lately, I took a few days away from playing hoping it was just a fluke, but unfortunately the problem persists. Pretty much anytime someone leaves/gets disconnected from a game, the game splits. So far, I am 3 for 3 tonight, and I'm going to hang it up and try playing something else for tonight. If it would help I can provide logs. This is occuring in custom games. I have not played Pantheon or Skirmish under the new patches.</p

[quote who="masterkang5" reply="1" id="2215030"]whenever you enter a game people can view the amount of times you quit aposed to the amount of games you have joined lets be fair if you quit 1 game out of 5 that really isnt that bad some people have busy lives and cant always hold down a hour long game but if you have more then that its the hosts decision to keep the leaver in game[/quote] This is being considered, it's not much different from a personal banlist. It's essen

[quote who="Jdub121686" reply="22" id="2214986"] Ughh!! Me smash!! [/quote] The only one "bitching and crying" is you. You are the only person (well, you and your other account shiny objects) that has resorted to bullying and cursing. The rest of us have just been having a (reasonably) pleasant conversation. If you are sick of reading about rage quitting, by all means, stop reading the threads, it's not as if you have added anything of

Looks like a lot of fun. What happens if people decide to blow all the bridges at start?

yea, throwing mines on a hurt Misting Erebus is freaking hillarious.

[quote who="Vesuvius" reply="19" id="2214925"] I am arguing that punishing people for ragequits is contrary to the interests of the community. To extrapolate that into a "people can do as they please with no consequence" is taking it a little far. [/quote] The only way I can envision your approach working (teaching people, instead of punishing) is to create a 'new players' area, but that in itself would create a whole new crop of problems. You also have to acce

Well, like you said, you accepted it as, and were willing to take a loss, and it seems obvious you don't do it a lot, so I would say, s'all good.

[quote who="lambdaman" reply="11" id="2214891"] Quoting VyperXXX, reply 3They are a plague on the community, most of them displaying the very flippant attitude you have expressed here. Where are you playing? I play mostly Pantheon and Skirmish, and I can only think of two occasions where I definitely saw someone quit way too early in the game. There may be cases that I forgot or mistook for a disconnect, so maybe make it five. Stats are scr

[quote who="Jdub121686" reply="16" id="2214884"]see, Basicaly what you're saying MR Viper is if you get frustrated and quit you shouldnt be allowed to play? Thats bull-shit and you know it. They payed and they should be allowed to play not oppressed by people such as yourself. you're the problem with these communities, not quitters. Seriously do you ever think about anyone but yourself? [/quote] Hello shiny objects, If you h

[quote who="Jdub121686" reply="8" id="2214862"]I hardly ever have leavers in the games I join or play. I don't know if you're playing pantheon or skirmish or what. I just told you I never leave how do I have a 'rage quitter' attitude. Im telling you to get over yourself like you're the only one on the internet whose time is important. Its not really a problem. people get frustrated and leave, get over it. Oh Noes every game someone leaves, so what

[quote who="Doggiedoodle" reply="12" id="2214829"]Vengeance and Vyper, your arguments hinge on the premise that doing something in your own interest at the expense of others is bad. This premise is inconsistent with the manner in which you are applying it. Leaving a game early is self serving and does have a negative impact on the remaining players, but it is equally self serving to demand that another person spends their time with you when that person does not want to and this wi

[quote who="droper66" reply="5" id="2214776"]you can change your user name in your account option. YOU FAIL!!!!![/quote] Yes, you can right now, but it's a good thing you brought it up. Stardock can now take this into consideration. And I feel they should.

true, but the good ones should be weeded out and move on up past the kiddies. Loss bots on the other hand are a whole different problem, one that we likely will not see in Pantheon anytime soon.

[quote who="Jdub121686" reply="8" id="2214597"]you can't change people online because you cant slap anyone in the face lol[/quote] People can be made to change if we are given the proper tools, and those that don't will simply stop playing. Either option is a win for legitimate players.
