Dominion Isotropic / Re: Decline of civility on isotropic?

« on: June 29, 2011, 04:45:09 pm »

I don't mind a little soft whining about luck, but I did have one opponent, who is ranked high enough to know better, tell me my deck sucked and that they knew more about Dominion than I do and that I was getting insanely lucky. That last part might have been true, but last I checked I was still ranked 7 levels higher than that person. So again, fine, point out that I'm getting lucky ...it happens. Try not to be a jerk though.

Whining about luck... yeah luck is a big part of this game. But I've now had about 3 opponents who're clearly winning and I get one lucky draw where I make them discard and they start whining in chat and stuff. One's winning and complaining that even though I have 10 curses and can't do anything for turns and I get *one* lucky turn. Pointing out that I'm "getting lucky" when they're crushing me completely... what can I say.

I only wish I could find people to play with me in RL because, as much as this game looks interesting, I have to give it up because getting trolled by your opponents is just not my idea of "hf". Even if they're minority on the site, it's upsetting enough to just not bother. Maybe if the site had some sort of a blacklist option then it would work better.

Thanks for your responses guys. It's nice to hear that these aren't "normal" situations on isotropic.

Personally, I encourage you to simply say that you've lost and leave the game in resignation if you are in a hopeless situation (opp possesses you 6x is likely to qualify).

I found this feature to be great and one of the main reasons I chose isotropic over brettspielwelt. Most of the time I like watching how a good player plays and what they're buying, etc. It's a good way to learn I think. I know that learning means I'll be losing a lot. I just don't like some people acting like they were never noobs at anything =( I guess reaction to "gg" is reaction to negative experiences in general.

As a new player both on isotropic and as someone who's learned how to play this game only 2 weeks ago, this website makes me want to never play again.

1. Playing with someone around 20 levels below you who says they're learning and then making fun of them for losing is not cool. Making fun of anyone for losing isn't cool.

2. After the person lost with something like 60 to -4, saying "gg" just makes them upset. It wasn't a good game *for me*. Watching you play solitaire with your 6 possession cards is not fun. Just leave. Your gg sounds like you're just rubbing it in.

3. When they ask questions because they're unfamiliar with the interface or with some special cards, replying with "get f***ed" is not cool either.

This game seems like a fun game, but the rudeness just makes me want to quit. Why would anyone want to make the experience horrible for new players? What's the point of that?
