What can one do?

A certain someone (who knows who he is) is hogging most of the public triples and has me on ignore so we Misfits (Comic/Rooster/me) can't join the games. We did nothing wrong other than win a few triples from his teams in the past. This blocking of access to games on such a dubious basis seems somewhat abusive of the system. Is there some applicable slap on the wrist that can be invoked?

I just took a quick look at the waiting public triples games, and there appears to be a large variety of teams there. Why don't you join some of those.

The Misfits are a combined 8430 points, and we prefer to take on teams with a similar total.

Why not start your own games?

That same someone blocked our team as well- not sure how many we won....maybe 5 or so. After seeing Fruit's ignore list, seems as he's has suffered the same consequence too. Quite pathetic actually.

Grab cooks as your partners and it wouldn't be hard to do :D ;)

That Wuzzy would be low-balling..... isn't looked kindly upon. If the person in question ignored for that reason, I'd have no problem with it.

Agreed. Although some of the teams I am on may look like they are doing that because my rank is suffering right now...most of my regular partners are major's and above. I actually feel bad sometimes when my team beats higher ranked teams (although that's what we look for...major and up) because my current score raises the amount of points we win and it doesn't always seem fair b/c I'm not normally this low.

It just takes a second to find out if you've been pulled for your rank. There are guys that I play with like yourself that have dropped, that's immaterial. Guys like Waynemough that sets up a triples team with two high rank players and pulls a private on his team for point purposes. The line isn't gray, it's obvious when someone's on the roster to low-ball.

:shock: :o

I don't feel as bad now....I still kinda feel for the other team, but that makes me feel a little bit better about it. besides, how could someone intentionally pull someone for points...I mean unless you are planning on training them, or they follow your instructions only, pulling someone with a low rank for points seems like you would have a better chance losing than winning...

I thought I answered the question in my first post...but I didn't. Sorry hatch :(

And Blitz hit it on the head...unfortunately nothing can be done about it (although it's really annoying. Someone did the same to my team a while back b/c we played freestyle the way it was meant to be...as a team). :cry:

If by waynemough you mean me? Up until recently the team i play with had a combined point total of 7800 give or take a few. we played the misfits and lost 19 points. The lowest rank in the team now, is a lt.

We did however experiment by bringing in a lower rank. The poor lady had a car accident and missed turns. We lost all 4 games but only 70 points :D . The lady is now recovering, too. =D>

I agree with Hatchman. It is tragic to be placed on a players foe list just for constantly beating them.
