We’ve had a couple of challenges with Metallica over recent weeks which, to be honest, have been fair. We had to bat one of them back a couple of times as we were both ‘jockeying’ but in the end we reached a position of a fair challenge.
The wider issue for me is the question of ‘why do clan leaders accept unfair challenges?’. I don’t get why clan leaders would accept a ...[text shortened]... learly unfair challenge irrespective of who the issuing clan is. I’ve opened a new thread on this ….
I don't know the need for a new thread when it can all be said here.
I think it is just human nature to try and get games they can win, or think they can win. Lemon does it all the time.
I prefer an evenly matched Challenge. Especially in bigger ones, Clan Leaders are going to have decisions to make in their pairings, may at time have to throw someone under the bus to get the Challenge.
New Clan Leaders as a rule don't have the experience. It also helps if a Clan Leader knows their opponents weaknesses as well as their own players, which making the challenges becomes easier. You don't gain this experience in a year or two, it takes many years to acquire this. Some Clan Leaders just never get there or simply are not willing to put in all the work it takes.
We are fortunate to have had the run we have had. I give our Clan Leader and new Clan Leader a lot of the credit, also it couldn't be done without the Clan members actually winning their games.
