The reason this is up for discussion is because it's not clear to me whether we should consider it playing against wincon. Your statement that I can't ban for bad play is irrelevant and meaningless because the reason we're having this discussion is to figure out if it was bad play or antiwincon play. Unless you have an opinion on that, and are willing to spend some effort trying to convince people, stop posting. In the same sense, I would ban someone who voted for his top townread in LYLO, hammering him, because he "thought it was a mayoral election" when in fact there was nothing in the setup anywhere indicating it was a mayoral election on day 3, and nobody had said it was that, EVEN if the guy genuinely thought it was a mayoral election. Being aware of the gamestate (is it a mayoral election? is it LYLO?) is imo REQUIRED for playing to your wincon. | ||

After all, I've definitely made a case on my confirmed-town mason partner (though I immediately retracted) and you could say that remembering who your confirmed-town mason partner is required and not remembering it is playing against your wincon-- but I legit FORGOT. This is where my hesitance is. | ||

I was under the impression that while coag knew what was going on in the games, he just didn't really give a shit. This game demonstrates that he barely reads the thread or gives any critical thought to any of his actions (as town at least). I wouldn't want to play with him again unless I could be sure that he would actually be giving a shit. Coag, is there some IRL situation that drew your attention away from the game (which would be completely understandable) or did you just not care? | ||

This is where my hesitance is. Well that action didnt cause irreparable harm to the game, and you had the opportunity to correct that mistake. Furthermore, that could have been "tactics" (I know it wasnt) whereas coag's actions could not since the game ended as a result. | ||

No I don't think its necessarily bannable, but for WOTC purposes or just general knowledge of 'fuck that guy, he doesnt care' its useful | ||

WOTC in its current form seems to be a vendetta list against people who insulted you, not a "this player will cause the game as a whole to suck" list. Frankly, I could be WOTC because I lurk like a little shit, but I'm not particularly abusive so to the best of my knowledge, no one is that strung up about keeping me out of their game. | ||

I don't think that's true at all, but the point remains I don't think WotC will ever be a realistic factor (at least not likely in a mini) because it is doubtful that there will be 5 people who care enough about removing potential problem players from the game. Which is fine, but these issues will continue to crop up every single game, and the status quo will be upheld. We're treading into 'get this out of the banlist thread' territory so if you want to continue discussing we should move it here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=440154 | ||

Thing is right, there's not giving a shit, then there's not giving a shit and self-hammering, then there's not giving a shit and self-hammering at MYLO to instantly lose the game for your entire team. Probably at some point you can go "this is just too much". It's never going to be black and white with "play to wincon" rules, but if there's some random line that no-one can agree on, it seems hard to believe that coag isn't on a specific side of it in this instance, if you see what I'm saying. | ||
