I personally feel very bad about games like this. I know that this is a league, people are playing for points and rewards, and I do care about my overall ranking, which is sort of my legacy. But sometimes, you just want to play a nice game and this kind of behaviour and lack of sportsmanship makes that very difficult unfortunately.
It's okay to hate a scheme, I have quite a few on my assassination-list (looking at you, Hysteria), but just say it before we both pick, that's totally fine. But to call it "gay as f@#!" and then just quit thinking I'm happy with the points...
