See you ^^

Is the issue that I'm at work & so cannot accept the team?

Issue is that Pogo created her team way to late so that it can be accepted by you :)

I know dat feel...

It could be worse.
He is a basic block saurus.
I still have both St 5 blockers....

:)

Hey there people.

I'm a little frustrated, Twister gave up in round 7 because I stalled the touchdown (like most people do against elves who could really score fast before halftime, if you give them the chance)

So, what can I say, nothing bad happened so far. One injury, on my side and some knock outs on his.

Twister, if you want to play again, I'm waiting for you to contact me. Otherwise I take the gift: 2:0, money and two mvps and live with it.

I can totally understand people who are frustrated with playing elves, been there, done that. But I will not play friendly dwarf just to ease their pain....

@League Admins: Wait with approving the game until all other games have been played, please.

here is the replay of the match between me and iipo

Hanno, you are allowed to stall, he's allowed to concede.

From my point of view:
If TwisterBE wants to try again that would be cool, if you can keep the extra winnings that doesn't seem to be that bad either.

We'll just see what happens.

PS: Blaming the other player for making a "frustrating" team choice doesn't help in any way. I don't think you would want to be blamed for stalling (and you shouldn't be!) and I think he doesn't want to be blamed for playing elves (and he shouldn't be either).

I will take my defeat. Thanks for offering second chance though. Let me explain to others why I abandoned the game.

I had 3 person injured and missing the match. My team composition even with a full team is horrible. I'm saving all my money to buy a reroll ( I have 0) and can't buy other players.

Stalling the game should not be necessary against a newbie like me anyways, I can't even win vs computer.

The only reason I left was damage control, nothing else. Sorry to spoil the match.

The problem here is thaty by conceding the match, you don't get any winnings.
Wood elves can manage with loners in place of linemen.
If you have no rr, there is litterally no diference.
As long as your positional players are no worse than mng, it is better for you to take the beating and whatever money you can.
Don't buy new players until you have a couple of rerolls.
Just play with a roster of loners....

I'm frustrated and maybe a little blaming him because he gave up, not because he plays elves.

Twister I could not know that you are a newbie and honestly: We all learned it the hard way.

In my opinion playing wood elves as a newbie is an unlucky choice, to play them from the beginning without rr is even worse. I understand your problem, I guess you did not know what playing elves means and nobody told you.
But do you expect all other players to give you a special treatment because of it?

Even experienced players have their difficulties establishing an elf team (take nagarythe decadence for example). In my opinion it's a real art to play elves successfully. Those who do are damn hard not to loose against, but to get there is difficult to say the least.

To cut a long story short: The offer stands to play again until all other games of the matchday have been played. Maybe you take Rodzajus advice and just play for the winnings, no matter how hard your team gets beaten. And my team will surely not be the last which tries to beat you up, it's the fate of all elven teams.

P.S.: If you like we can play a training match in the open league. Maybe I can give you some hints, although I'm not that good on playing elves myself.

I am not sure if my human team there would agree with that. ;P

Frankly, while I can understand the frustration, no one is obliged to play a non-fun game just to make someone else happy. This is a game, not a day job.

It should, of course, be minimized (especially in a league where a lot of parents have to arrange for "time off") but in the end it's just as legitimate an action as stalling. And I would rather have a conceded game than a frustrated fellow player. We like more people to play with :D.

Someone once said to me, after seeing a game where I played high Elves: "You play High Elves like other people play dwarves"

I'd like to point out as well that if you're not feeling super confident, I'm sure there are a few people in this league that would be more than willing to let you practice against them, or maybe even give you pointers so that you can improve/not get nearly as frustrated :)
