If someone cows(breaking a rule), in a league, you can refuse to continue until they take the required punishment, if they do not accept the official consequences for a cow(breaking a rule), they automatically forfeit and the game should be rematched or voided.
8. Members are asked to not act as “back seat moderators”. Members who constantly “act” as moderators may be warned or penalized.
We appreciate your input, but now I ask you to stop telling folks things that are not true. Penalty taken or not, players WILL CONTINUE PLAYING WHENEVER POSSIBLE, then complaint and let the moderators do their job.
Nowhere in the rules does it say "players will continue playing whenever possible, then complaint and let the moderators do their job."
If someone breaks the rules, and does not accept the punishment even though the victim urges the guilty party to take the punishment, the game should NOT be continued.
It is in the rules: "Sitters are not allowed. (Sitters are grenades that sit for 1/4 second or longer). The penalty for a sitter is a Grenade or Bazooka to and from yourself in an attempt to cause the same damage you previously inflicted."
If they do not take the punishment, and you continue to play, you are agreeing to let it go.
Not taking the punishment on the very next turn causes the outcome of the game to differ, for example, the next turn they could get wind, use it, hit the other worm, the other worm has no angle to shoot back, attempts a return shot misses, and then the other player hits themself, the victim now has no angle to shoot, has to teleport changing their angles, and the guilty party has 2 hits that shouldn't have even happened while only having 1 shot at themself.
I am not "backseat moderating" I am trying help out a fellow player and good friend, please don't tell me what I can and can't say to my friends, especially when what I said is correct.
Everytime someone has done something like this to me, and they haven't took the punishment, I quit, they reported, I told the MODS what happened, and the game got voided or replayed, I am not trying to MOD this game, I am talking from experience, sorry if you see it another way.
If what you say, is what you want, then you should add it to the official rules page please, otherwise, you cannot say this, how unfair is it to let someone break a rule, and take the punishment whenever they feel its neccessary.
You CAN refuse to stop playing, because it's the other person who broke the rules and won't accept the concequences, so whatever happens when either player complains if either player reports the game, the MOD should see the game, see the person who broke the rule, and the game should be rematched or voided because a rule was broken and the guilty party did not take the required punishment, and if the guilty party reports the game and a MOD lets the game stand because the other person refused to play until the guilty party took the punishment, then the MOD can't be doing their job right can they? (This isn't directed at anyone, it's just an example, and as far as I have seen, no such thing has ever happened, which is good
Cmon man, relax, I have my rights to advise my friends.
Edit: Oh, and where you say "wherever possible" even if this was an official rule, this situation wouldn't be possible to continue, taking the explanation I already explained of what can happen if it does happen, BnGs can be won and lost with 1hp, and breaking a rule and changing a players position, altering their angles to shoot, can ruin the game for them.
