Etiquette impossible in bullet

Avatar of talapia

Chess.com has me on training wheels in the Etiquette Dept. because of my naughty behavior.

I am prompted after each game to decide whether my opponent was a good sport or a bad sport.

If they were a good sport, I am prompted to say, "Good game!"

Generally I obey. I learnt to walk at 3 after all and was toilet trained fairly early. Mom was always proud of that and relieved as well.

But in bullet, by the time I get around to clicking "Good game!" they are already gone on to the next game.

Not a fan of the good sport-bad sport thing. If you get a sore loser then you’re a bad sport automatically?

In what way does it affect chess.com choosing your future opponents?

In the few rapid games I’ve played I make sure to click good sport.

You learned to walk AT THREE? What happened to cause you not to walk before then?

I err had difficulties? well actually I don't remember much about things that happened before six. I just rely on what Mom and Dad told me and other than that, I make things up.

OK fair enough. Making things up is fine. I can remember since well before I was one so I can remember the first time I walked. Maybe your mum and dad got a bit mixed up.

The bunny leaves his pellets wherever he roams.  The world is his potty.  And he still walks on fours.  Recently he's actually been using the good/bad/ugly sport thingy, after he himself was marked as a bad sport.

It's not necessary to pick good or bad sport. 


It's just there IF u want to give someone a thumbs up, or if they have been abusive, then thumbs down. 

 

Anyway in bullet everyone is finding games quick. Why would they stay around for a useless mechanic like the good/bad sport thing? Bullet is specifically designed to BE quick, hence why it's called bullet. Ur supposed to play a ton of games with it.

 

 Well, I feel better if you get the prompt too, at least I am not the only one in Detention Hall. Or maybe it is all users getting prompted for all I know? Last time I checked, some people said they were prompted, others not.

Mom was pleased b/c my older brother set the bar low, he didn't learn til late and never really mastered the procedure. There were two bathrooms in the house, and I learned to pick the one he didn't use a lot. But he taught me chess so it's all good.

But you are good sport, hunting rabbits is popular!

Seriously, I think everyone is a good sport that does not intentionally abandon games, click the draw button repeatedly, or use violent or vulgar language. Other than those things, I fail to see how anyone can annoy in an online chess game. Heck, when I was a kid, if I found a clever move in a game and started winning, as often happened, my bro used to pick the board up and throw it against the wall. Smash a few things around the house, too. That's being a bad sport, not, "hey you Russian, put the vodka bottle down and play sober".

Everyone gets asked after every game.  I've ignored it in all but 2 or 3 games where my opponent disconnected.  Or if they took a Knight.  Obviously that is bad sportsmanship and should be punished duly.

I DO mark players as bad sports sometimes. But I rarely ever block anybody. The main thing is, I got to find a game when i want a game. You go around blocking everyone, you may not find a game.

I block people who ask for a rematch.

You play just to win. Bullet has no time for anything. People win on time when they have 0.1 seconds remaining. Unless you can see mate in 1 and have 10+ seconds left I won't suggest you to write anything to your opponent. Eiether way many people disable their chats.
