I'm sorry Justin, for being over controlling. I didn't mean to take the fun out of it for you. I was just puzzled that you didn't want to follow my advice to help us win, and it felt like I was being left to fight both enemies on my own...which made me overreact. I'm generally not one to get upset, I just like assisting teammates when they lack experience, then so long as they listen they might be able to learn a thing or two about the game.
It was interesting, but JC was all but out of the game after turn 6. After turn 9 he never encountered the other team at all. I imagine the frustation was on turns 5-9 when JC was in position to block bonuses and got taken out immediately. After that who cares.
Pinkbladder, i noticed that too lol. I think i was looking at your tourney game with them? Personally, i dont give a monkeys if a player wants to multi in that situation. If its FFA or multi accounts in different teams thats a different matter.
heres another classic move: booting the player right at 5 minutes after they just posted that they were making their move and they were sorry for the delay:
yet another classic move by sturn

I never play these short boot time games. Sometimes my games last 30+ moves. That's up to 2 1/2 hours. What if you have to take a leak/answer the phone/get the door, etc. It's unreasonable to have someone hovering over the boot all game.
The solution is just not to play that BS. If someone wants to play quickly, just say so and play quickly, you don't need a boot option to enforce it. If at soem point a player has to leave and the game's not finished, just finish it later.
I looked at the link, and Sturn was very likely to win. Although if everyone ganged up on his team, it technically could've gone the other way (22/17). Which makes bootign that quickly more inexplicable.
Just had the misfortune to end up with emperor on my team. What a mistake. He's a lousy player and clearly the biggest douche on the site, which is saying a lot. We've been cussing at each other for a while, and I've challenged him to 10 1v1 games, with the condition that if he can with 3 out of 10 I'll admit that I was wrong about him sucking as bad as I said he does. So far he's avoided joining the 1st game, which is pretty pathetic.
On the Gray/Ivory thing: agreed it's not an issue when it's just him on one team, but I'm sure i've seen them play with Brant on the other team on a couple occasions. I just had a game against them (with Brant) -- and I'm not sure if he was just uber-noob and totally unresponsive to advice or a third account owned by the same guy.
