Default Re: Hall of Shame

This kind of thread is asking for metagaming consequences (this guy is evil, destroy him in his next game) for traitors and I think metagaming should be kept as rare as possible.

Of course I won't say I will never have metagame considerations. If I know someone who didn't respected his word with me (broke a 3t nap without warning ie) I won't trust him the next time of course, but I dislike the idea of making a list of traitors for the eyes of the whole MP community. It can create a very bad ambiance (and be abused as people can't know the situation in a particular game, that may explain -or not- why someone has done something).

The only people I would eventually put in a black list are not traitors (in a roleplayer perspective it's the character/nation who betray in-game not the player) but leavers with a good position (the players turning their nation AI or staling instead of asking for a sub) as they can be very detrimental for other players game experience, and their behaviour *as a player* is wrong.

But as even them may have good reasons (don't know, something personnal far more important than games, making them leave in a hurry ; I think I wouldn't be in a good mood for playing, or bothered by searching subs for games if I'm going to my mother's funerals or something like that) after all a black list is never a good idea.
