I am not telling you (well, your minions) that it's disrespectful to sacrifice your chance to win in order to ruin someone else's. Don't tell me it's disrespectful to resign a lost game.

War is war, LOSERS! 😏

To play it out to the finish, as players in these games are expected to do. You've ruined this game for all the other players just because you were losing! Would you encourage an attitude like that in any other game?
I resign hopeless chess games all the time on this site. Why should this game be any different?
Originally posted by no1marauderI thought you wanted people to play for the win, not to make the game as interesting as possible.
If you want the game to be "interesting" BDN, declare war on the Ikko Ikki and his vassals. That would certainly be a more equal fight than the war against Kyushu where your 9 realms had a 4:1 advantage in Gold Province Value and more in troops and ships.
Originally posted by Bosse de NageAnd they did. What happened? The Amako and Ikko Ikki retreated even though they had slightly superior forces. Now as a game strategy when you have a overwhelming overall advantage that is understandable, but hardly much fun for the numerically inferior side. It was made clear that your side would not risk any battle that they had any chance of losing. What sense was there for me to play on? For what?

Originally posted by no1marauderAnd my comment was in response to the game you have playing in this thread all the time - if people don't play for the win, but to have fun, you accuse them of that, and if they do play for the win, you accuse them of bad sportsmanship. I saw your reply to Bosse as a continuation of that.
This is in response to BDN's whining particulary the "You ruined the game" crap.

Originally posted by NordlysI don't know what you're talking about. I never accused anybody of "bad sportmanship" because they played for a win. BDN was whimpering about how people "ruined the game" by resigning in a hopeless position; I gave him an idea if he wants to fight against non-bots. But he prefers to have his cake and eat it, too; have virtually everybody else help him win, but have a few of us hang around so he can brag about his great military exploits of defeating us when he has overwhelming odds in his favor (and others keep handing him territory). Screw that.

EDIT: From page 100:
Quite frankly, I am considering resigning the game as it is pointless to continue this farce. And I can get into a game where most people are actually trying to win rather than spending all their time helping someone else do so, which I find unsporting and against the spirit of any competitive game.
Originally posted by no1marauderOkay, I have been reading through most of your posts again, and it's true that you didn't use the word "bad sportsmanship", but you did accuse Uesugi and Ikko Ikki of deceit, lies and shameful behaviour. You didn't say that such techniques shouldn't have a place in the game, though, so I may have misread your posts a bit.

I just couldn't get my warships into your waters quickly enough.
You could have had your fun trying to "smash" me.
Originally posted by no1marauderIf they deny my claim to the Shogunate, I will have to fight them. Otherwise there is no reason to attack them short of bloody murder.

The reason the fight was not equal was due to superior strategy on the side of my alliance...I have not failed to take risks on those occasions when I had the chance to engage with the enemy. Of course, when I sacrifice a fleet against unequal odds, I am being stupid, or replaying Verdun, or whatever insult you can dredge up. I suppose that's just your way...
If I had been in your place, I would have played until victory was declared. Perhaps I would have negotiated a peace, in order to survive. No dishonour in that. Anyway--you might find this approach incomprehensible, but that's none of my concern.
Go play a different game now. Good luck.
