| Message text actually Staf...
i understand your point completely and i will say that i agree with you...
someone who quits the moment things start to go bad is in my book a sore loser
i enjoy the game...i dont mind to lose and i love to win...
i stay in the game til the bitter end or until there is NO doubt as to the final outcome...nor do i hesitate to sacrifice my own ships for the victory of the team when i am playing in a team game...i have lost games by points when the game times out... the last case was a player who tucked his tail between his legs and managed to stay out of range long enough for the game to time out...i was overhauling him at the rate of one hex per turn and my ship was virtually intact...while his ship had ONE hull box left
those two cases are for me the Biggest reasons that i completely ignore the points in a game as a determination of victory...no points are given for dismasted ships which have not struck...or vessels which are so badly shot up that they could not possibly survive another broadside...or possibly even if the sea gets up a bit beyond dead calm... no points are awarded for driving the enemy from the area...etc
the point system is pretty badly flawed when so little is taken into account in their calculation...so to my mind it is equally flawed to put much stock into them |
