Nope, but there is a link to the site rules in honking great bold letters which mentions it Very Happy


If more people actually read the rules life would be so much easier for the staff.

Never trust a forum poster who edits out comments that have been replied to.

I can't see that Pyth did much wrong. I also can't see how having negative forum feedback affects your play much either.

So meh.

On recent topic. I would not play COACHES back to back, as well as teams.

This last one includes the Stunty division as well as ranked. However, it's easy to forget if there's a large gap.

Yes, you have to click an acceptance button or some such.

Well, we all read all those "I have read and agree with the terms" terms etc, right? Wink

I messaged my opponent and have not contacted support. He's responding but neither of us are sure how to resume the game. Pressing play doesn't seem to do it but neither of us have conceded.

What do we need to do? Thanks for the help.

When the client starts up don't click 'start new game'. Click 'list open games'.

Your game should be in the list.

He gives pretty solid relationship advice too.

I think this has to be a contender for thread of the year.

The normally trollomatic pythrr sends out good, accurate, usefull, concise information, reasonably politely..

.. and still enrages the other guy.

Pythrr: Maybe its just you dude? Maybe the words dont matter, its that YOU type them?

[4] be aware than in Ranked division, it is illegal to play vs the same coach more than 1 game in 10. You've already broken that rule once, so best avoid doing so in the future.


Is this still true?

The rule now seems to be

Quote:
You cannot play the same team against the same opposing team twice in a row

The first one is picking at bones a bit, to get an exact ruling. There isn't one, it's on admins discretion. However if you are averaging more than 1 in 10 average against a coach in ranked, you're liable for banhammering.

In reality what this means is going down Pentelarc's game list and retire any Italian or Spanish coaches' teams that played him (or the new Pentelarc, that lantern is passed on after time). Used to be Dalfort, however sadly he improved a bit.....Lemf before him!!.....but I think he cut down on the alcohol.

The second has always been in force in Ranked. On the old client if you did it, the game wouldn't upload. I did this once with a team about a year after I last played the guy and had no idea.

That's a pretty troll-ish way to enforce the rules. I wish it was kept that way, I like that approach Razz

Hey, an apple has to be an apple before it can be a bad one. It's selective pruning.

Seriously though, it's a running joke about Spanish and Italians. They do tend to produce a fair few well known pickers, but so do other nationalities including both of mine!
