A Discussion on kingmaking and community standards.

[Burnsaber]

I'm with Sombre Kingmaking is pretty lame. I used to do it, due to RP justifications. But I've realized that you can't make the game worse and blame it on RP, since it's meant to enchance the gameplay experience. Nowdays I often just spend all the gems I can to burn my attacker and then just die with the ones I can't spend.

In Crusaders game, my poor Agarthan start got steamrolled by T'ien C'hi and he had to endure a long hard siege against my constantly re-appearing CBM pyre Phoenix. The player kept on devising clever methods to bypass the exploding phoenix and the battes were extraordinarily fun. In the end I decided to give my final few gems to him, because he deserved them with his good playing.

So instead of using my last gems for a bitter and whinetastic move, I used them as a method for saying "GG". When I make such contributions, I'll make sure that they're not too small to be neglible but not too huge as to be unbalancing.
