Originally posted by prosoccerI'm pretty sure what huckle meant is that he abondoned the game. As in not moving at all once he knew he was going to lose.

Even if he is giving it away, it is his choice to do so. Show him what you think by mating him as soon as possible. Just don't complain and think that he should buckle meerly because he is down material.
Originally posted by huckleberryhoundit is a real pain when that happens, but this player was a realtive new comer and they have not moved in all their games for three days now. I do sympathesis with you on that one. But not all non subs are like that HONEST!!!

Originally posted by prosocceri think that the point being raised here is, is that the opponent has walked away. Also as a subscriber, you are entitled to play as many games as you want. I think it is merely the fact that the opponent has left is frustrating as people typically want to play a game to it's conclusion.
There is no rule that states you MUST accept games that people challenge you to.
As well, you have 7 days of timebank remaining, you said you are on a lot, so play with stricter time controls.
Originally posted by badbadgerI have no delusions about that, but if you have any doubts in the character of a player, don't play them. It is your choice, take preventitive measures if nessacary.

Originally posted by huckleberryhoundYou yourself segregated the un-subscribed players as being evil, why not start there. You seem to have no problem complaining about us, so why should you have a problem not playing against us.

how do you suggest i do that?
Originally posted by prosoccerYeah thats what i said.

Most of the time the players that will play and then suddenly stop are relative new comers to the site. If someone has played hundreds of games you might be able ...[text shortened]... these are valuable options and would be affective if instigated by yourself and other players.
Originally posted by prosoccerthe opponent in question has only played 7 games. Plus huckleberry hound is playing several non-subs, so i dont feel that there is an issue against non-subs here

Originally posted by badbadgerIt came from the title of the thread. It would have been easy to say opponents ditching games. But no, it has to be non-subs ditching games.

EDIT - Not all non-subs are evil, i cant see where that came from, even if my name is scary 😛
Originally posted by huckleberryhoundI gave you several options, not only playing friends so don't hang on that one and not mention the others.
Yeah thats what i said.
ALL NON SUBS ARE EVIL.
they're also members of the luminati, opus dei, and the bin laden family.
The difference between subs and non subs is that we take on more games (up to 300), not six, so we cant go "playing our mates" alll the time (although there are guys i play a lot).
please leave the melodrama out of this thread 🙂
