I'm worried about the Kings of Wars Foe List

Postby retrocrush on Mon Jun 23, 2008 10:53 pm

I'm having a depressing night. I was playing a good ol game of CC tonight. I came in as a cadet, but was just a crack below Private. I go up and down between Cook and Private lately because I'm fairly new to this, and also I like to try a lot of weird map variants and game styles to learn the ropes. Ultimately, the rank doesn't matter as much as the fun of the game to me, anyway.

So I play a guy named Ancient in a Freestyle speed game.

http://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=2708994

I'm trying to get the hang of Freestyle against good opponents so I figured an open 2 man game against a Lieutenant would be good training. Turns out, he's quick on the draw and was often blowing out my countries as I tried to fortify them.

Anyway, I was in a bad spot and I ended up throwing like 8 armies against 15 and actually won. Ancient then missed 2 turns in a row. He comes back and gets bad dice and pretty much says because I won't just let him win, I'm a jerk and am going on The Kings of Wars Foes List, and that I'll never get to play anyone good again. As it turns out, I ended up winning the game.

Now should I have missed two turns to be fair? I'm kind of new to this sort of etiquette. Letting other people win doesn't seem to be the right choice for any game. But maybe that's how the folks in the Kings of War list get the job done.

If someone can fill me in to the details of this elite list and how screwed I am that I'm now an official foe of it for not letting Ancient win, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Well you dont have to worry not many people put you on their foe list because you beat them. Also KoW is a very small % of cc so you may not be able to play in a few 100 games made per week at most, and seeing as there are over 10,000 made per week they arent blocking you from much, especially when you factor in the fact that most the games they play in are private games that you wouldnt get invited to. So you really arent losing that much.

So many new clans I've never heard of. :|

Btw, i had a quick look and i couldn't see 'Ancient' on the Kings of War's members list... Maybe they kicked him out? :P

retrocrush, I would not worry about it.

a) 'throwing games' (letting other side win because they are better, bigger, have no brains.. etc) is against rules.
b) he can put you on HIS personal foe list. So what. Is that such a bad thing? Do you really wish to play that Bighead again?
c) I doubt very much that he can blacklist you with a whole clan... even if he did, there are plenty players that are much better than him or his clan
d) there are lot of players that will use Game Chat to try and unbalance/upset you when they can not win
e) he is only sergeant now, so he is definitely not 'the best'. I ought to know. (I also have 3 stripes)

Enjoy your games.

look. anyone who threatens you in CC on what seems like unreasonable terms is probably a jerk. unless you don't know the rules. or it was solid. then the jerk would be replaced by a WHOLE LOT of other things that i won't go into.

Why worry about it eh? Maybe if he follows through on this lame threat
you should add him to your foes list and forget him.

No, you shouldn't've missed two turns to compensate. Him missing turns is his problem, not yours.

And I wouldn't sweat some clan putting you on their foe list,, even if his claim is true. Hell, every clan on the site could put you on their respective foe lists, and you'd still be able to play 75% of the active players.

Play long enough and someone's bound to get pissed at you. Trick is to not let it bother you.

Nice Frankenberry avvy, btw.

Retro, you don't have to worry mate.

Hes a prat for going off on one because he missed 2 turns. Just foe him and enjoy CC.
