andyson:I find it incoherent that you don't think single players left alone after everyone else quit is the biggest cause of quitter posts.
I never said that. I said that I am guessing this is a very low %age of the overall number of multi-player games. NO ONE except for wgt knows these numbers, and they are most likely not tracking them, as unfortunate as that is.
andyson: This is your typical tactic to try and put the blame on someone else after you derailed it by going off topic with the Faterson/Lindsay multiple ID on another site attack.
You obviously missed the fact that these comments were made only AFTER the initial post of F-man; in reaction to his off-handed tactics. 'nuf said
And yes, I'll try to be more cautious in my exchanges with him. but let it also be known, I have a very short fuse with this member based on his past posts and exchanges with me. I'll be cordial until I am attacked, which is exactly what happened here; again.
andyson: If this thread gets locked its on you VHL.
It would be better to see inappropriate posts modified or removed, then we would all see much more clearly who is following WGT tos. I'm betting my posts aren;t the problem.
andyson: There are many similarities between what Faterson espouses to end quitting and what you believe.
Not under the current system. If, however, wgt implemented the option to resume all multi-player games (like they do with MPC matches), than it becomes a lot easier, and we would probably be on the same page. Short of that happening, our approaches to a solution are polar opposites. I am against any reputation feature that is game related, as well as any punishment for dropping games, based solely on the incredible amount of man-hours it would take to handle all of the follow up complaints/requests. Those features are valuable for forum threads, and nothing else.
If they implement the option to resume the game in multi player mode, it becomes VERY easy, as then a denial to resume means a choice to forfeit by the player, and there are no excuses that it was a game issue, power outage, etc. And still there will be cases where a player may have to finish as a solo, that problem will never go away. But it is then an option, finish solo, or have it affect your average.
andyson: There is probably a common ground to be found if you'd be more open minded.
I would challenge you to find anyone more open minded than I. That portion of my education was very important to me, and it is a lesson I live by to this day. You might wish to inquire with our children, who all have custom self-painted walls in their rooms, as to how open minded I am.
