Hey Dug, nice to read you - I am kind of missing you. Any thoughts of returning (with accounts I happen to know)?

I never liked this "rule" either and have killed off several people that claimed they should beat me because of a single lucky role.

Then again, I'm old and cranky. Get off my lawn.

I was always in the doesn't have to be called camp. 5v8 is insta win in my book and always will be, called or not.

"My lawn" - here's one that only works in German unfortunately: Eigentum ist rechts und deshalb widrig!

Other than that - seeing regulars, oldtimers and far above average players denying this "rule" or agreement" is a little sad (called or not). But nothing to go too nuts about - just a little maybe...

then are you happy when other career top25 tells you they honor 5v8 ?

Well Exa, that's the problem with human beings. Having our expectations - may they be reasonable or not - fulfilled doesn't necessarily create happiness. Having them dissappointed will almost always create sorrow or anger.

So, seeing others playing according to this so called rule might give me a good feeling (especially ofc if I had been the 5 stack, but that hypothetical), but it won't create happiness. More along the line that I am not alone giving away won games over 1 lucky roll often done out of despair.

I would agree with Vermont that it is a stupid rule - but then the entire game is stupid and often decided by one lucky roll (8v6 defend, 6v8 win...). Why not add another possibility for a lucky shot. After 30 days those points are voided anyways and the feeling that you KNOW you had it won is still there, even if you sit out then.
