In praise of the game

Maybe I am easy to please but despite all of the grumbling lately (legitimate and illegitimate), I still find myself in deep appreciation of this game 4PC (I play FFA).

It is deliciously complex with wicked tactics and changing strategies. It can be frustrating, yes. No matter how good you are you cannot win them all.

But as you advance up the ranks you discover more layers of complexity to master. And since nobody can win them all you always have a chance no matter who else is on the board. What fun!

Can we just take a minute to appreciate the fierce competition in a fast-paced game that is crazy fun to play?

Yes, the game is very good tongue.png but the people running it, not so much.

Personally, my game playing experience has been great since I started playing, and it didn’t really change after the server switch. I learned to play Old Standard and Omatamix, and I’ve enjoyed both.

I'm personally tired of playing the same position over and over again, regardless of what color I am, it's getting old.

Maybe there could be different names for some of the more balanced K/Q positions and you could play those.

OR YOU COULD NOT BE NOB AND PLAY VARIANTS

THE SERVER IS LEGIT CALLED VARIANT

I'd love to play the variant called Old Standard, but it takes forever to get people to join.

Play my 3 on 1 varient when it launches in a few days.  

"Launches"? Do you mean when you decide to start sandbagging and encouraging others to do the same?

So a thread meant to sing the praises of a fun game becomes another thread debating ways to change it. Can't you guys just enjoy what we have now?

What is sandbagging? 

Intentionally losing or putting yourself in a poor position to win the game (you can also "sandbag" someone else, in this case your opposite, but in 4pc that's typically referred to as "throwing")
