Default Re: PBW - Loosers Who Quit

Leaves too much room for abuse.

Leaving without telling about it to others may not be fair, but keep in mind, that we are all humans, and have real lives to take care of, which is more important than any of the games we may play.

Then again, i think you are mostly talking about players leaving when their luck takes a bad turn, and their empire starts to fall apart.

While staying in a game, that is already lost, is a noble and respectful act, it takes a certain kind of player.

Most gamers play to have fun. The ultimate goal of a game is to entertain. Fighting a losing war is not fun to most, and frankly, you cant force them to play against their will.

I think, you want losers to stay, so you can enjoy your victory, by crushing their empire planet by planet.

Thats kinda selfish, as you basically tell players to play a game that is not fun (for them) anymore, so that you can enjoy your game more.

Think about it for a while
