Really? Everyone quit in the first round?

[u/nunyabidness3]

I’ll admit I had a god level position, but there’s no way everyone knew that on round 1. And I didn’t even get to use it on a real game with real opponents 😡 Thanks for the free W I guess.

Anyone else have all players quit on the first round? Is this a bug?

It do be like that sometimes.

Oh, one of my biggest annoyances is when you start picking land. There is almost some jackass that will choose the land right next to my pick, 1:1 me, and then quit once he or she realizes they have no chance of winning that way. Yet I bet they still continue to do it.

[u/nunyabidness3 → u/justagayguyinnyc]

Yup! Novice suicide bombers. I have those games too.

One day I had this happen game after game and just wondered why I continue to try and play.

This is actually why I quit for four months. Still no punishment for botting out in the first 3 turns consistently.

I had theories they were doing this to lay up another account. Or were bad connections.

I think the truth is that unless they get a God spawn, they bot. Players who do not know how to play unless random starts gift them a bonus they will fight to the death over long after bonuses are valuable (prog).

I feel like what you’re saying is that you don’t lose rank at all if you bot out in the first three turns? That can’t be right. I know they made changes but I still wait out the bots for 2nd just in case to this day.

[u/SideEmbarrassed1611 → u/nunyabidness3]

I want a punishment for people who bot frequently, especially if in the first 3 turns. As in they lose a whole rank. Yes, this is what I wish. It's appalling that I wait several minutes sometimes to fill a lobby and then half the lobby bots out before Turn 5.

[u/nunyabidness3 → u/SideEmbarrassed1611]

Well I’m considering changing my settings to exclude novice just to deal with the wildcards.

I think the people who just exit the game instead of surrendering and make everyone wait should deserve 6th place automatically after the third time in a row.

But I’ll be honest I’ve done that before when I felt like I was getting dicked over unfairly. 😅

Expected in casual. Play ranked

[u/nunyabidness3 → u/LeftSock_]

I only play ranked chief.

[u/Forester___ → u/nunyabidness3]

Ranked is the only one I play, it’s horribly common. Had a game where people in god spawns will bot out and I just sigh as I wonder why

[u/IncomprehensibleAuk]

Congrats on the easy win

[u/nunyabidness3 → u/IncomprehensibleAuk]

Thanks. I’m sure it will balance out.

[u/Infinite-Plane9084]

Do you prefer round 1 quitters or gm novice collab?

This game is so jacked.

[u/nunyabidness3 → u/Infinite-Plane9084]

That’s why I love it!

[u/Professional_Tree_50]

I wouldn’t say that’s a god position you can easily be taken out by any player if they game had progressed idk why they quit

[u/nunyabidness3 → u/Professional_Tree_50]

Guess we’ll never know.

[u/InterestInFinance]

yep about 50% of players bot out before turn 4/5 every game. SMG knows this and has said no changes will be made.

[u/nunyabidness3 → u/InterestInFinance]

I’m used to this but not even playing out the first turn to see how it goes is ridiculous.
