MonkeyIsland... not one single person has said how they determine if its a big map. your genius idea was if the map is narrow in the thumb nail, its a big map.
ITS NOT TRUE.
in my experiences small maps in thumb nails, are small maps, and big maps in thumbnails require "click to accept"
it was not until recently that lalo, dainub, aladdin, and myself all realized differently.. how can you even argue that it was not an unforeseen?? Senator even said himself, he does believe i did not know about the big map, but because i followed the rules, and completed the game before i complained, i should not get a void game.
ironic.
but let me just say again, i don't care about that game, i care about clear rules. MI my rule was a quick write up, not a final copy, just a quick idea, but my rule did state that the host should announce any unforeseen things before game starts, so how can you ask questions like...
- I like to start the first turn. But right before we start teleporting I noticed that my opponent is having the first turn. Can I use the map excuse?
- I don't like the worm positions. Can I use the map excuse?
- We teleported, but my opponent took all the good spots. Can I use the map excuse?
- I messed up my first turn. Now I just realized this map is big and I don't like it. Can I use the map excuse?
if the host told everyone its a big map, the answer is an obvious no.
i have said it time, and time again that i don't care about that game, its nothing more than an example to prove a point... which i have proven... you have proved nothing, but continue to fight to be right.
MI, do you know what thread your in anymore?? this is a rule change thread... not a complaint thread.... do you know what your even arguing about anymore??? or are you just trying to attack me with your petty "avirex is a tough guy" comments... where did that shit even come from?
you guys are fighting that the rules do not need to be changed, there is no need to specify what schemes allow big maps, and what schemes do not, there is no need for a host to announce an abnormal map is being hosted, because your theory is... if you have any questions of the rules, just watch some of MI's games, and check quotes from last summer...
is that right? i just want to be clear, because honestly, im sick of arguing, this is obviously a losing battle...
even if you don't think that the host should make people aware when hes hosting a big map (despite majority thinking they should) at least make it clear what schemes allow big maps, and what schemes do not..... or do you want to argue with me, how thats not needed either?
Please lock the thread. your obviously right, and I'm wrong, there is no need to continue going back and forth i don't think.
