thats not what a straw man is.

Since when did reading become abnormal?

What's the actual point of your arguments? You warned us that they create games that many of us aren't used to. Got it. Now go away and don't join their games again (unless you want to). What else would you expect to achieve, honestly?

They sell snowboards at cosco

It is a strawman to say that I was calling your game unusual for having cards period. Which is what you have repeatedly tried to argue against.

Death, yes I understand, my bad for joining a game without reading the settings. This wouldn't have been a thing except these juveniles thought that their playground insults of "salty" were funny of a forum post. That's what I get for trying to reason with someone on the internet. Never ends well.

So just don't do it again. No need to reply as people probably won't care about your arguments either way.

And I'll add that with some of these unique game "tweaks" (like the blockade card every turn)... More often than not even with every setting read, it's not obvious what the strategy is until the game play starts.

Let's not pretend that these type of game aren't motivated by the host's desire to play games with a large home field handicap.

andre why are you so salty? you're just trying to justify your loss without admitting it was due to a lack of skill. You can't adapt to new maps you admitted it. Thats a lack of skill m9, you need to work on adapting to new maps.

m8 you could have used the cards yourself kek. Its not like I'm the only one with cards.

Klarik, the number of holes in that last post, it's not even worth addressing them one by one. I'll refer to Brandolini's principle: "the amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it"

so you refuse to admit you lost due to a lack of skill.

Sounds like someone didn't read the settings, didn't like the settings, and started raging (and was a total leech to teamate, too).

This. I get shit about settings soooo much.

If you don't want to join a game you don't like, read the settings, dammit.

Theres a party on sunday

LOL a lack of skill. I can't anymore. This is too much.

Offer still stands to play 1v1 on a ladder map. Until you accept, you probably should stay away from the lack of skill argument.

This whole posting is a perfect demonstration of Brandolini's principle. There is no point to trying to refute such an amazing amount of BS.

You're just going to continue falling back onto the ''muh ladders'' thing aren't you?

@andresmdn

No one denies the fact that you might be a skilled player... but you can't deny the fact that you lack the skill to play on these settings. Sure, the lack of skill was caused by your inexperience (again, on these settings), but it's still a lack of skill. Can't blame you, there are so many fancy settings combinations on WL that you can't master them all, can you? But please do not deny the fact that you haven't fared well in this game, which means that you lack experience on this template and therefore, you're not skilled enough on these settings.

You can't adapt to new maps you admitted it. Thats a lack of skill m9, you need to work on adapting to new maps.

Man Klarik, I'm impressed. Can you teach me to adapt to a game before it begins? Because you know, placement is KINDA important. Just a little bit. But you prefer to not adapt. You'd rather just host those highly customized maps and take those easy wins.

Still waiting for you to accept the ladder 1v1.

@Death

absolutely correct. I was inexperienced playing a game with those specific settings, and after one round I would now have a good handle on how to competitively play those specific settings. Klarik is trolling beyond that scope. It's a nice change to have a reasonable person to discuss with.

I don't actually get much hate on this (I crushed FK on Hannibal at the Gates II, though, one time), and I run some of the most heterodox settings there are (one pick, long lasting sanction cards, weak but plentiful blockade and abandon cards, and I don't really like mainstream maps).

So basically, you joined game with settings that you don't like... and try to blame game host for this fact? This is your fault, not anyone else's.
And can we see your 1v1 ladder games, now that you mention them?
