file About deals and withdrawing

Sp grow up, grow a pair and suck on a lemon, or get some basic manners for crying out loud.


Considering you wrote "Always remember who dealbroke, and make them pay, that way less people will dealbreak you." which clearly means you would encourage a non-PTW-style of playing does not really go well with the attitude of encouraging people to grow up. Either play according to the rules or don't play at all.

Note: I'm not calling you an idiot, I have no idea of how you are as a person whatsoever. I do, however, find the vengence perspective insulting to those who play to win. Regardless of what you think of deals and whether playing for a GW should be the only goal in a game (as opposed to GW, or maximizing VP if GW is not an option), playing to get revenge is not an option.

I just about had it with...

And yet you keep talking to me.

If you made that remark to me live you would be sucking on a soup with a straw, and trying to wank off with your feet for a couple of weeks.

And yet, I have never threatened anyone with violence, as you just did. In fact, I've never heard of such a threat of violence in VTES, online or in-person, ever.

Let's all remember that, shall we? If you call players who go cross-table for revenge from a previous game "fucking idiots" then Pendargon will threaten you with physical violence.

No matter how much you dislike someone, their attitude, or their philosophy, there's no reason to threaten them with physical violence.

no, i do not keep talking to you.

I responded to you when you clearly tried to divert topic instead of saying " i was outta line, i am sorry"

but no, that would not be you, now would it, mister I-am-always-right-and-everyone-else-is-always-wrong-and-i-get-to-insult-everyone. Many, MANY posters here tried to reason and talk nicely to you over the course of existance of this forums, and tried to divert your attention that your language and attitude is disgusting and deplorable. Yet you continue to plod along, not paying heed to anybody but your own selfish keyboard wanking.

So, it is my deepest belief that ONLY by explaining it to you on the most basic level would get to your head. And it appears i am succeeding in it.

So, in order to bring this back to the topic on hand and less about whatever personal problem two of the forum posters have (and should be handled elsewhere) ...

Wedge is exactly right, which is the logical point that was being made to Ankha in the actual game that his (nearly accurate) scenario represents.

Thank you, Wedge

Suppose D and E have a deal where D spends his resources resisting to B while E ousts B.
Once in duel, D and E's deal is void. But D still has no reasonable change of ousting E (perhaps even less since E got 6 pool).
E has 2 vp. By withdrawing or letting D withdraw, or reaching the time limit, E has the GW.[/b]


What kind of deal is that? D would do that anyway, right?

D has two options:
- getting killed by B trying (with little chance of success) to oust E. If E is weakened in the process, D is actually "king-making" player B
- agreeing with E to resist to B in exchange of a VP. D is actually "king-making" player E, but gets a VP in the process.

D is lost anyway, so any of his actions is helping either of the two winning players. D could also deal with B, but it's much harder since B must have a deck capable of back-ousting.

Option 1
E can torporize/paralyze all of D's minion
That case is simple. Once D has no minion left, he can't stop E from withdrawing. E scores GW 2.5, D scores 1 VP


E would score 4 VP if just ousted D, so why do anything else?

Because of the previous agreement. Even though all deals are void, since E has the GW he can choose to leave D 1 VP.
D on the other must try to oust E, unless it's not possible (that's why I stated that preparing the duel is important).

Option 2
E would score 4 VP if just ousted D, so why do anything else?
Option 3
E would score 4 VP if just ousted D, so why do anything else?

Same as above.

Option 4

You haven't said why E is withdrawing, but O.K.

Because it's the same for him, and he may give the remaning VP to D as long as he has the GW (but this can be a little risky).

Duels can and should be prepared while there's still a third player on the table and while the deals are still legal.


I am sensing the gist of this to justify, D kingmaking E over B.

D "kingmakes" B or E anyway, so it's better for him to get a VP in the process.

E does NOT have the GW. E has 2 VP in a game that has 2 unresolved VP's in it. In order for E to maximize his VP's he must attempt to oust D or go to time trying. Choosing to leave D 1 VP will win him the game but is not maximizing his VP's: 4 by ousting is more than 2.5 by letting D withdraw or withdrawing himself.
