Fair Players : 2 good examples

Come on:) they should teach in schools to think / act / live like that:P

As a teacher, I can answer that..... NO .
I believe internet has played a part in this.
You used to have to face the person you were having an argument with.
Nowadays a ten year old kid can have an internet flame war with, well, someone like me ...
That s something they wouldn t dare do in real life .

I have to state, before I am mistaken:
This quote is only refering to any kind of competetive matches (such as ooo, league, cup, tournament...)! Not friendlies!

mt653, I also agree with Playa s post you quote. But it doesn t change my mind about seeing Lobo s and Pallister s thinking as an example to follow. Conclusion? Relations between people are not binary:) We have a luxury of being here for pleasure and moreover setting up and executing the law by ourselves - thus, we can take into account Intentions.

As a teacher, I can answer that..... NO .

Rock! Teacher! Leave us swossers alone! All in all, it s just...

Something just came to my mind.
In offline tournaments there is the rule Pressing ESC during match is forbidden .
I came across this rule in almost every country I visited a tournament. Germany, Denmark, Czech Rep., Poland...

Why have we forgotten to put that rule to online leagues, ooo etc?!
I think I have to update some websites, soon!

There is a good saying in Polish for what I ve caused with my posts:
no i masz babo placek known also in bit harder versions: no i w pizdę jeża or o i chuj , which could be translated as Granny, you ve got the cake

I just wanted to point out that even in difficult situations players can stay calm or even laugh together with the opponent:P

I have understood it well, Dzem! No worries. And I agree with you, as a player!
But as an admin or better said, organizer, I would rule the ESC button out.

If my memory serves me right I posted these situation for the same reason Dzem has refreshed it. It s about general attitude, nothing to do with pressing ESC during the game for whatever reason. Rather than jumping to conclusions calling someone cheater liar I prefer to take the benefit of the doubt. That s what I liked about Pallister s approach to aforementioned situation.

On a side note as discussion seems to drift in a ESC pressing direction. I don t do it no more myself for 2 reasons. I agree with what Playa said regarding consistency of tournaments leagues. Secondly I know for a fact many players do not appreciate it as they don t like special treatment. Fair enough. I still believe it s a nice gesture when someone doesn t want to take advantage of early injury or red card though.

P.S

Playa, I should ve let you press ESC in Fulda 2009 semi when the lights bursted and ask for a def win. ;D

Interesting to read...again hehe.

Well, every opinion is good to know. And it s also good to know that everyone is free in his decision if he comes in such a situation...I meant it exactly as I wrote for example in that case with Xflea. He played a great tournament, and he d put a lot of effort in reaching the final. I d do it again if that situation shows up whenever again...he deserved to play a good match, and as long as it s in the first minutes I see no reason why I should ve stolen him that chance because of a stupid decision...
