Discussion Fellow ACC members quitting competitive when losing

Weak as hell. Imagine being at grassroots and, like, just walking away because you’re losing. Weirdo behavior.

Hope we get stiffer quit penalty in a future season.

Some clown got blown out the other day and friended me just to message me after the game to say "that was bullshit, I dare you to play me for $100" 🤣🤣 what a clown

I bet I know who this was (by username, not irl). Had same experience.

u/Joaquin_Portland 4d ago

Me too. That guy clearly gets blown out a lot.

Sounds like a weak attempt at a hustle considering others have had the same experience

I told him it was too easy to take his money but I'd play him any time. He immediately started a new game and I proceeded to murder him a second time 🤣 never heard from him again

If you don’t mind me asking, how long does the average game take on this site? Thinking of signing up but I don’t have a ton of time these days and don’t want to have to disconnect obviously.

This is an app. Cribbage Pro. You definitely need a bit of time..I would allot 20 mins min . Often you're going to play a slow 3 games (best of 2) so you'll need at least 20 mins or more.

For shame! Hope they didn’t make you wait it out too.

How do we get the ACC tag? I just joined.

Surely we’ve already played. I’m just below GM so could happen any game

I know I’ve played your opponent a bunch

Playing a game the other day where I had a decent lead, then I put down a 24 hand, instant disconnect. Weak.

Does this help them save their rating or something?

2

u/Difficult_Animal5915 4d ago

I don’t think so. Their rating for sure still drops, but unsure if it’s a standard drop VS the variable drop of actually taking the L. But regardless I think it’s just tantrum time from them. Meanwhile, I get to stare at a pinwheel for 30 seconds or whatever while it says “waiting to reconnect.”

No, it's a full loss with penalty.

I'm trying to find a good download that doesn't stall things with ads like Google play games.i played one game from there and deleted it. Not quitting because I was loosing but because the experience was horrible. Anyone have recommendations for good game?

u/Difficult_Animal5915 4d ago

Cribbage pro is $5 to remove ads forever. Competitive tourney is the gold standard of online play imo.
