Komo, i have seen so many occasions of you using "sports analogies" so, don't like its a silly thing to do, now that it does not fit your opinion ;P
imo, your both right...
komo: it depends on the situation, if the cow consists of a situation that cost the opposing team less then 50hp, a skip involving collect cr8, and maybe even pile is fair.
ANO: if the cow consists of damage resulting in over 100, or even 150 in this particular case, the skip should be even harsher, for example no cr8, no move, no hide... just 100% skip.
i mean, look at this specific game... they did an illegal turn of over 150, and then their penalty is a "skip" that consists fall damage, piles, and barrels lmfao... rly?? i guess the most ironic part about this is, that if he actually took the skip when he was supposed to, MonkeyIsland would say this was a legal form of skip lmfao.. what a f@#!ing joke.
i guess this thread teaches us all one thing.. if you cow in a game, and you decide a skip will result in no chance of you winning....
f@#! the cow, dont skip your turn... just continue playing!!!! it will be your best chance to avoid a loss!! just go for the win (void) the draw (void) or the loss (oh well, chances are you would have lost anyway)
