I know that it's good play to retire when it means you can win the game.

But just now i watched as a person retired and had no chance of winning.

the top 3 were all out, 3 were left, and they were placed either below or above the retiree.

Whenever im in that situation i just fly around and try to get some points..or "donate" my plane to who-ever's good enough to get me.

I find that retiring when one cant win is almost sour grapes and shows that a person really takes this too seriously.

has anyone else seen this?

excluding damages that make not retiring impossible..i.e. left turn only, on border..can only go off map...



What really is frustrating is when a player gets five or six points ahead and then flies off to a corner of a board and everytime you get close to them they fly away to stop you shooting at them. Then when they have no fuel they nip off the board getting a victory.

This has happened so many times, most obviously, in leagues that I'm almost tempted to stop playing in them.

There are a few individuals I could name who frequently do this, but I'm too much of a gentleman to point the finger.

Is this good gaming, gamesmanship or are they sad gits?
