Bit of a tactics discussion on this. As I am aggresive in my play, I am often sucked into trying to beat upwind. Just as it is a fair tactic to wait upwind to catch the overly aggresive and optimistic, it is also fair to let the game time out and not take the bait. Sorry to say this, Hubert, but it is a fair tactic, with a risk of hurting ones own league score and statistics. Now if all he did was run, as opposed to maintaining an advantageous position upwind, then that is cowardly and I would check to see if they are trying to help someone win a league.
Indeed, it is true that there are many avenues to winning, some of them are less "galant" than others. However, just avoiding conflict so a game will end 0-0? This is like not playing at all. Do you get a point when you "earn a tie" in this manner?
I have lost games where I was ahead and had the wind advantage, but elected to continue engaging to finish off the enemy; so now I am sometimes more cautious. But, if folks are just doing it to end with a 0-0 tie, then it would appear that they are not here to play, and hence maybe need to reconsider whether they should be spending their time "playing" this game.
It is a 0-0 tie with no winner. Nobody gets any league point. Just like you said Derek, it looks like they are out for a fleet review and nothing more. I can understand if I am in a league game with you or Alex but they are only in a game with average player like me.
