Nice way to try to divert the point - in exactly the way you accused me of doing. It's not about what you want to do it's about imposing your morality in a computer game on everyone else.

Oh - and to go back to your tennis analogy. Does that mean that when you're winning 2 sets to love you should let your opponent get a set back so it's more fun?

In some circumstances, yes. In some games they call that a "handicap."

Please try telling that to anyone who plays the game at a high level.

In general, the highest-level players are the ones who care the most about things like fairness and honour, although there are an increasing number of sad exceptions. (Lance Armstrong springs to mind.)
However, each person has to decide for him/herself what is fun for him/her and to what degree he/she is willing to sacrifice some elements of fun for the greater fun of everyone. My contention is that it is not a zero-sum proposition: That creating fun for others can be fun for oneself as well.
Giving someone else a "free" set when both are fresh and could play another might result in more fun for all.

I challenge you to find an instance of that happening in any modern era grand slam final.

NAK. Folks willing to start from scratch can do, I wouldn't, one account, one game live: I intend to "die" in some Illy action before I die in RL, not the other way around. And removing alliances you don't like could be brilliant, but I doubt that you can.

Do you fight with a friends becouse he did you a goal at socker? Do you think shooting someone in a game is like shooting in real life? Do you think that attacking "goblins" in a role play game is racist? I hope not! |
Yeah, I think folks hating orcs are racists, and I think that about 90% of the male human players would be so nice at pop 0.

Again if i count the number of players that played with me that left the game there would be 3 digits, many left for real life issues, many becouse they had nothing to do in a game..
