Instead of listing players... how about you just give a list of all the things that are unsportsman like.

for example... the biggest thing there is (and the thing your missing) Is Kicking people.  Sometimes people will wait an HOUR for a game to start... and then someone comes in and asks "any room?" and the host of the game will kick someone who freaking waited an hour to get kicked.  This is preety gay. 

(for all the devs reading this... it would be intresting to not allow someone to kick someone else if they have been in the room for more than 5 min... AND they have not said anything in the last 3 min (aka... if they are afk, they are kickable)

Of course... all the people that join games after they are full asking if there is any room (when OBVIOUSLY there is not room... else you would be in the room instead of asking you nubcake) just make the problem worse.

If there were more sins players it would nto be a big deal... cause games would fill up in 2 min... and there would be multiple games to chose from at all times... but right now? with the current playerbase... kicking people that have waited a long time is very, very inconsiderate.

I've never seen Ferdie AFK at the end of the game.  He'll often wait a little long to concede, but he's not unreasonable about it.

Ill give it 5 days, this will be banned after the forum guys come back from christmass break.

and by the way, cauis does lag games with his power, and FERDIE IS THE WORST FUCKING TEAM PLAYER EVER!

Ferdies Tactic:

Starbase HW - Expand - Expand -Expand, the enemy goes through another planet then hits the econ guy, and what does ferdie do? takes 1/3 of the map, then dies.

I suggest people kick these players from there games, i do.

I love kicking ferdie, and i keep cauis in, because I whoop HIS FINE ASS all over the show.

put up another offense for chose, he needs to be on this list twice.

I second Ferdie on list. For same reasons.

I've done something like that under slightly different circumstances and don't regret it.  It was in a ffa where it was down to me and one other person.  The guy built a ton of starbases and then basically said "come and get me".  He refused to attack me but just spent all his money dragging the game way lat into the night.  So what did I do?  I put 4 fully upgraded SB's around a sun, left my fleet there and went to bed.  In the morning I woke up to a bunch of lvl 10 cap ships and not a scratch on one of my starbases.  Karma is a B because he did the exact same thing to 2 other suns and was trying to make me plow through them.

naah not yet havent had problems yet...though ive only played 16 times online

i think we all have ravok..

Im pretty sure im one of the nicer original players on this game. but the problem always has been, if a player asks u to do something, then do it. there is a reason for it. If someone with a better record than you offers advice or wants you to do something.. there is no shame in doing or offering a counter.

new players dont listen. bad players dont listen.

Just take advice and try to do whats asked of u. if u need a reason why.. just ask. most players will tell u why they want you to do something

I will say another thing in Ferdie's defense.  I've never seen him stay in a game after his fleet has been crushed.  I've also never seen him drag out a game by running his fleet around in circles and loop-de-loops forever.  At the end of a few games with him all his allies have been crushed and he still has a strong fleet and econ (and we all know why know too), but if he gets beat and is obviously outmatched he will leave.  If he thinks he can stick around and beat everyone, albiet over a long period of time, then he sticks around. 

If the posts take on an aire of venting, it's a small indulgence to tolerate compared to what reported players inflict on others.

If someone reported on this thread should reply with any coherent response, at least a dialogue of sorts might ensue.

And I will say in ferdies case, as of late, he appears to have amended his prolonged endgame bullying in favor of more considerate conditional results as an alternative to running the game to his last ship (like conceding that he will quit after a final battle, or after a heavily fortified choke planet starbase is destroyed).  Perhaps feedback from this thread as prompted him to change his ways.

people dont like him because he sticks around a little longer than his team after they have been beat

and just an fyi this post will be locked at some point
