1) you don't think it's possible to make a color map that is narrow? Because that's what I thought it was from the lobby, a narrow map. There is nothing wrong with a narrow map (well at least not a reason for me complain) people host elites on maps that at times are way too narrow, and if they were in .png format they would have gaps on both sides on the lobby, but you won't find me here complaining that issue...I really don't see how some empty spaces mean it's clearly a big map... looks like MOD number 2 doesn't have a clue what he's talking about
2) I have been back a week, and I'm playing on a aptop that I'm not familiar with screen size or res....if either of you watched the game you would see thht even after my turn I asked "is this a big map?" So all the evidence points to me not knowing... no body else took a turn but me, and I attacked. You could then say "well people could then say you had a bad tele, or bad crate" or you could go watch the replay and see that was not the case.
3) MI my quotes clearly showed I was surprised by his MOD title, so much so that I thought you could have made a mistake... I'm only looking out for you, and the well being of Tus. It could be a bad situation if you made a mistake of that caliber, or worse, someone hacked the site.
Also I never asked to switch mods, as in get a new MOD that can handle the job.. I'm sure generally senator does a fine job (just not in this scenario) I asked to get another opinion from another MOD.
I don't know why I bothered, because I recall situations in the past, you MODS generally all stick together.. even if the entire community knows the original ruling was horrible, the MODS stick together. After all we wouldn't want to "belittle" anyone
4) can you find me a reason I would not ask for another MOD. And show me how he did it a good job. He himself only copy and pasted some rules, told us all his biased interpretation of the rules (which schemes he feels are obvious to allow big maps and which are not) and then rather then making a ruling with my specific game in mind he just said vague shit like "people could say you had a bad crate or bad tele" so let's throw the facts of the visible proof (replay) out the window, and let's worry about what people could say? Interesting approach to this MOD job, wouldn't ya say?
5) clearly the 2 of you think that I should either watch for the small details in the lobby, ask "is this a big map" prior to each game, measure the map before I place worms, or just know from first glance, ignoring different reasons on why I wouldn't. Rather then the most obvious, thing to do, which is....
"the host must make any unforeseen details clear to opponents before the game starts, or the game is subject to being void"
That's like me hosting a game with the power of zook up in a rope game, then saying "welllllllllll light means they accept, check rules gg "
See how some people might think that's unfair?
At this point I don't care about the game... but I think me, and many other people would be interested in a rule change... I don't think anyone is asking to ban big maps, but you should be made aware of it before the game starts. Most people would think that's obvious, but because certain mods like to ONLY refer to rule books, rather then game to game situations, while using rule book as a guideline.. and because there is at least one player not mature enough to tell people what's going on.
There needs to be a rule change.
PS: sorry post is long, but I just want to point out MI , that if you believe it was such an obvious thing in the game lobby, how come dainub and lalo were tricked as well? A combined 30+ years of experiences were all tricked into accepting a game we otherwise wouldn't.. and mods see not a damn thing wrong? It's blowing my mind
