Jeeze guys think before you flame! I got a friend to join the site - we played two games and he loved it. Then he joined another game (not with me) in that game he accidentally went off the board early in the game. In his email the next day was a massive flame. He found it mildly amusing, but he wanted to know WTF was wrong with you people.
Please, think before you write. New players need to be encouraged not ripped apart.
Please, take no offence for this: WE all have been beginners, WE all have made mistakes, WE all could have ended a game or two incidentally out of the map, but WE all are still playing ! Surely, your friend has been unlucky meeting an unkind opponent, but I believe this is a UNIQUE case. I have played on this site for two months now, having been shot down two thirds of my games, and never met anyone willing to be offensive (neither for my horrible use of English language, NdR ). And more,I don't absolutely want to justify an offensive behavior, but if you play games, you should have sense of humour and the ability to ignore some little offence... Tell your friend to try again. I'm sure he will find many gentlemen (and gentlewomen) next fights. But he has also to thicken a bit his skin... |
