No disrespect intended, but isn't it like taking your marbles and going home? I understand that because of lack of commitment by some the game suffered. I kinda feel cheated in a way. I was looking forward to joining the game and standing with my team, win or loose. It's what sportsmanship is all about. Where is the reward (victory) for those who were committed to the game, who logged in faithfully and posted their move everyday in support of their team? It cheapened the whole experience for me to log in, go to that thread and see that the Joes team just gave up. It was kinda like they were saying: "well since things aren't going our way" we quit! If I get sanctioned or even banned for saying this, so be it, but it was kinda weak.

Nope, not at all. It is a non sanctioned game and Pyro will have nothing to do with it. The rules will be simple and each team has to keep up with the score. No advancement points are earned, it is just a simple formatted game.

A big part of this game (and an important one at that), is bringing in new players. It is easy to see how they could be upset by the game being stopped. I think everyone is upset at the game being stopped. It took almost a month to get it going, only to have it end after 6 turns. Everyone should be able to vent. There have ben a lot of Joes that have been awesome at posting. You are one of them, and that is great. We spend all this time to build up this game, and after one of the best games in a while, this happens. Of course people are upset. No one is blasting anyone, and I cannot speak for him, but I do not think he was blasting you or your team. We need to all work together to make this work, or just give it up.

So it doesn't matter that he is upset because he is new to the game?..... Really? With all the emotions swirling about on this, and you're gonna un-cork with a comment like that? Weak sauce dude.

I don't understand the need for a new mini game. Why don't we just wait until Pyro figures out what needs to be done.
I think the game should have been played to the end, regardless of the outcome. I don't think Cobra was playing unfairly according to the rules. |

The mini is to tied us over until Pyro is ready, that is all the game will be used for. As far as ending the game, yeah it might not have been the right decision and to everyone who is upset I do apologize

Not a problem Vader. We wouldn't have this game running weren't for your contributions as well as others.
The more important issue is: how do we get the game back without any of the previous issues we've had in the past? |

For those of you on Cobra who feel cheated/disappointed/unhappy (whichever way you want to phrase it) that the game ended. Please take a second to consider how the Joes feel.
Last game we came pretty close to winning as the teams had finally crawled close to equal. This time we were getting our asses handed to us. Due to Cobra's impeccable dedication to this game, our team is in a huge hole in term of ranks, damage, and participation. With our current roster and rules, the game would likely have ended with Cobra with several characters still kicking. A loss like that would have snapped any moral of the team, and I think VQ stopped the game to salvage some pride for the team, so we don't lose MORE players before next round, and that isn't even MORE unequal. As I say, we all are upset in different ways that the surrender had to happen. But as I say, it HAD to happen under the circumstances. As far as I know (and VQ or Pyro, do correct me if I'm wrong), no team has ever been so hammered in an entire game, let alone during the first 5-6 days. Unfortunately there was no other viable option. |
