why waste everyone's time?

[generalfdog]

fyi there is a certain player who has some 80s and 90s in their handle who likes to take games and offer games and then take a few turns and resign with no warning, what a waste of time! sorry don't like to complain 99% of players on here are awesome, courteous, and great to play but this one is really annoying guess it's my fault since I keep giving him a try.

I have played a few games against this person, most of which ended after a bad turn for their side usually before the end of 1940. One Game though as the Axis they gave me a very hard fight. Kicked my Brits out of Norway and almost out of French North Africa. I end up with a toe hold in Morocco waiting for the USA to join. Invading the USSR was delayed until 1942 which I thought would leave me well prepared but by the summer of '43 the USSR was in bad shape. The Brits/USA bypassed FNA which was defended by all of the Reich's allies after a failed invasion at Oran. A second invade at Oran succeeded, barely.Tripoli and Sicily were taken and then an invasion of Italy was launched at Taranto which was another bad fail. Then a bit of luck. The invasion at Algiers (last chance for a '43 offensive) took the ground and cutoff the large forces between Algiers and Oran. Same turn I notice Oslo was open, defended only by the minefields. Landed a division to open a path thru the mines and then sent a corp to Oslo. Still the core of Germany and Italy was untouched and invading in '44 would be a hard path as the USSR would be no help. Game likely to be decided on Points. Strong odds of an Axis win and the player just quit. What a waste.

I think I faced him as well (it was a name with years numbers). Game went to 1945, to be decided on points with front line more or less historical. He resigned 2 turns before end (and he probably would have won; but I will never get to know for sure...).

So strange at this point, that I wonder if he does not find some pleasure into that...

Truly, a Game which gets down to the last month or so still undecided on Points is about as good as it gets and quite rare.
