I'm Terran.
I don't want to play TvT atm, so I leave games when I see my opponent is Terran.
If he choses his race(Terran) when countdown begins, I will leave regardless.
On the other hand, if ppl don't want to play Terran, they ban me.
I don't blame anyone for anything, tho I do think we can save ourselves needless clicks, wasted time and nerves by simply stating our preferences.
So PLEASE, if you are one of those who can create a game:
- include your race in the game name. For example: "D+ Tau (me Zerg)"
- if you wish to practive a specific MU, say so in the title; for example "D+ Tau PvZ (me Zerg)"
Ty very much.

I agree wholeheartedly with this, so many times I've been banned by retards demanding a certain race but not specifying it...

I'm not including any worthless info in the game name.
So you don't play vs terran? playing just two match ups doesn't give any improvement.

Yeah, when there were times where I would create a game with this title: "Pvp D only",I would still get people picking other races.

I never understood why people dodge a certain match up, it happens mostly with mirrors it seems. Its a matchup like any other, no high level player dodges it (sorry oystein, exception to proove the rule), so we can assume it hinders your play at a certain level threshold.
If you ladder you should play any matchup!! If you dont wanna play all the matchups, or if you wanna train a specific matchup, then find some friends to play with.
I can play with u if you wanna play tvp (me p), just msg me on iccup, i have same nick there.

Well this isn't what the OP is talking about, but there aren't only people trying to dodge matchups. Sometimes it's quite the opposite: people want to play their worst matchup to improve. In that case I guess it does make sense to put something in the title.

When I make games "motw C- me random" it seems to attract the dumbest users on the server. I don't mind randoming and telling, but there's not enough space in the title to say that. Half the time it ends up like:
skjhgls: no random
me: why join the game then?
skjhgls: choose race
me: ...
skjhgls: no random
me: I can random and tell
skjhgls: me z you pick
skjhgls has left the game. (banned)
There's also a lot of:
asiugh: GOGOGOGO
me: sorry you're D
asiugh: GOGOGO
asiugh: GO
asiugh: GOGO
asiugh: GOGOGO
asiugh: GOGO
me: hey hey can you be quiet for a moment
asiugh: GOGO
asiugh ?
me: so you can read
me: how about paying attention to game names
asiugh has left the game. (banned)

It doesn't matter what the personal reasons are, the fact is if you are only going to play versus a particular race or you are refusing to play versus a particular race and you do not say so in the game name you deserve to be shot.

i am a D- player looking for other D- companions for less stressful entry level practice  (PM me!)
i always wonder how many ppl in iccup are non english speakers
yesterday i decided, instead of saying "1v1 i can make" i should just say "1v1 i make", simply because some people might think the word "can" is a negative coz theyre used to saying/hearing "i [verb]"
|
the ones that come in and are all
GOG
OGO
GO
GO
i usually ban them because that shits annoying
and mirror dodgers are fucking stupid too

I really don't see the point of banning people in mirror matches and/or matchups you hate, how will you ever get better?

That's not what Starcraft is about

Oh lordy us teamliquid people have no idea of the concept of fun! You think we're all forced to post here as part of some sentence handed down by the authorities? That if we don't reach our starcraft gaming quota each weak we're going into the isolation chamber?
Maybe equinox implied that he does not see the fun in staying a crappy player forever because if you don't get better you're just gonna lose more and more and not have a lot of fun at all? Could that possibly be it??!?!?!!?!?!
hurrrrrrrrrrr

Although you do kinda have a point Frits, the point Raptor was making is that some people may have no interest in getting better, they are merely casual gamers who play for fun and are not that bothered about winning or losing... If you just play for fun and don't care that you are not going to become pro then practicing matchups that you detest is pointless. You don't NEED/WANT to get better at the game, why play something you hate?
Also consider the fact that getting better just means that you should be playing against better people, even if you one day become as good as Jaedong you are still going to be losing every second game to another pro... the losing never stops.

Well I don't mind getting an advantage from random, but I'll tell if they ask. I'd say about 10% of people will ask what race you got, but out of those 99% will believe you when you tell them.

My favorite is when I do this and people join and spam "me z please lets pvz please let me play z I want to play z"

I agree with this, I have the same problem. Doesn't seem like it would be much of a stretch to actually implement some automated naming functionality in the iccup bnet clone.

LOL Of course you don't mind getting an advantage. The point is it's not fair.
Plus from my own experience and I'm sure a lot of other people have this too people lie about race after they random to get even MORE of an advantage. If you can play all three races pick the race you play, whether your pattern be p,z,t,p,z,t,p,z,t or pp,zz,tt or something more random, whatever it doesn't matter, pick it yourself. Don't leave the other player in the dark/at a disadvantage.
Picking random is the cowards tactic, looking for an easier win than you deserve.
