One note on retiring off the wrong side, the times when I have was because of a stuck rudder or occasionally an irresponsible move sequence under those conditions.

There's nothing wrong with getting off the board - but off your own side, not skipping out of the side of the playing area - that's what I disagree with.

That is cowardice of the first order as it means that you are playing the gap in the programming not the game.

It states quite clearly in the rules that players should attempt to get off their side of the board.

You write this as if you are disagreeing with me but that is exactly what I mean. I was only saying that sometimes you cannot help it due to a rudder jam. Trying to penalize those of cowardice will get those with no choice in the matter.


wetty11: I got into some heated debate (to say the least) with GraysGhost some months ago regarding this issue. I decide to back off my arguments back then since things got a bit too excited IMO.


that is very true.

I do feel strongly about people playing the game in a league so they don't have points deducted and preventing others from getting that extra point that could mean that they win the league. I think that was the bone of contention between dcr66 and myself in that instance.

It isn't sporting and if you win the league in such circumstances I would go as far as saying that it is cheating.

I also agree that having a rule that penalises those with stuck rudders is unfair as they have no choice in the matter.

However I am almost of the mind that we have a Cowardice Board - where you find those players who ran away off the side of the board to either stop them from having points taken away in a league or to help them survive in a campaign. The other players in a game post the game reference and the players name so you can see the circumstances of the retirement.

Before joining a game you could then look at the board to see the calibre of person you are playing against. You then have the choice whether you play against them or not. If your ally cannot be trusted to stay on the board do you want them, and if your enemy runs away off the side of the board if they are not winning do you actually want to bother facing them?

I now use that choice when deciding to play against dcr66 or not.
