I might bow out of the game and give apostate the win. That blatant accusation at my character by Diqnol is rude as gently caress and deflated my interest.

Honestly if it comes down to that, I won't complain about the free board game- though you're pretty clearly in the lead here. Your call.

At one point I even considered buying complimentary copies of the game for everyone in the final table if I won. I'm really pissed off.

I'm gonna step away for awhile.

Okay. I hope you decide to keep playing, merk, it's been fun so far.

Whatever you say merk, I'm not gonna dispute the result. Just letting you know I understand what you did and would never do something like that in a friendly online card game.

You're literally the only person reading the situation this way, I think.

Accusing me of using something as a sword while simultaneously threatening to quit. This is a man I believe.

It doesn't matter, though. Whether you believe it was malicious or a mistake, the results are the results.

I will say that earlier in the game Merk did outplay me a couple of times. I attribute it partially to me not paying any attention and whim selling, but he knocked me down from 10 to 4 legitimately. I'm just miffed he would do something like this. He didn't have to win like that.

Also I played OOO GGWW so if Apostate played no gold, I'm not yet dead.

Pretty sure merk's coming back, apo. He just doesn't like having his integrity questioned when he's one of the least likely people to cheat at an online game.

I find it funny that merk doesn't take it as a compliment, to be honest. Diqnol refuses to believe that merk could be that careless.

Mills

I think merk is telling the truth fwiw but I find it a bizarre interpretation that he's allowed to take back his card after making an invalid bid; he should be forced to keep the card in play and make a new bid. :shrug:

Ernie.
Aug 31, 2012

He made an invalid bid... once he realized he couldn't make it, he took back the move. This shouldn't matter for anything because the bid should've never gone through.

Yeah, from the start it's always been the case that if someone does something illegal, it and any subsequent bids are wiped and the person can take any legal action they like.

If I thought people were angle-shooting and deliberately making subtly illegal moves so they could see what the following players did and then take back their move and act based on the information, I'd start imposing penalties of some sort, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case here.

Also, trying to add a card while keeping the bid type the same is one of the two mistakes that people make continually in this game. The other being trying to open with a combo bid.

You played 3W, 1W, right? I was debating whether you played that or something with 2W2X,1W. If I bid 6W, though, you could raise to a perfect 7W if you played 3W, 1W, so I thought I had to do it.
