Wordfeud League of Honour

Thanks @bjrOdo97

I´m so glad to see so many players discussing this in a proper manner. It´s a good thing to get things like this out in the air, rather than players just quitting because they don´t like what´s going on.

It´s our understanding that we have two "groups" of players here:

1) The players who play to win at all cost, even if the game might be "boring", also called "boas".

2) The players who plays for fun, and like open games. Those players also seem to not care what division they are in, as long the games are fun to play.

I have discussed this with the admin, and we have agreed to this:

1) Division 1 will be reduced to 8 players. That way the players playing to win, even if they play in a "boring" way can play here, unless they are demoted to division 2.

2) Players who don´t want to play in division 1 can choose to stay in division 2, even if they win their group. That way they don´t need to lose on purpose to avoid getting promoted to division 1.

I will demote one extra player per season until we reach the goal of 8 players, unless anyone extra volunteer to get demoted, to get down to division 2 as soon as possible. ;)

Players in division 2, who don´t want to get promoted to division 1, must say so in the comments field the last two days before deadline, so we can sort it out manually. When we do that, the system will look at the rating to see who gets promoted or avoid relegation instead. So it might be a good idea to give a message in the comments field even if you´re not at the top of the table, because the system will always fill up 8 spots in division 1. Please remember that this has to be done manually, so if I´m not online at deadline, I might not be able to take care of it. But we´ll deal with that issue if it happens.

I hope that this solution will make this a better place to be, for both boas and non-boas.

Good luck in your games! And remember to post it here if you want to volunteer to go down to division 2! :)

Not even near considering joining again, when the players who I mean are ruining this game, are taking over this league.

Enjoy!

And that certainly does not seem Honourable to me......

@ EBAIBA no I will not learn and adapt as Oliver to your boa-style of playing.. Deal with it!

I´m not like Bjordo.. I will not come back to the krudoku-league unless there are some changes in the rules. A krudoku worth 200/250 or even 300 points, maybe?

This is like two different games. And don´t come again with this : Blocking is allowed...

( no offence to 97 :-)

After talking to the judge here is a suggestion:

In the 1 div just 8 players. Then you got your own little playground, and the rest of us in 2 div. I have no desire to play in that 1 div..

And by the way.. I don´t know Annecri but thank you sooo much!:-)

I have observed that there is a lot of complaining about unfinished games, and people not even bothering to accept invitations. And you wonder why? Well I think it is the destructive play that has taken over this league that is the problem……..

I though the whole idea of the game was primarily to score by getting as many krudokus as possible, and by placing the tiles with the highest numbers on the bonus fields. I completely agree that blocking is a part of the strategy of the game. For instance blocking a corner to protect your potential krudoku. Or blocking for a potential krudoku from the opponent. This is surely a good part of the strategy of the game.

But when players use the destructive strategy (socalled boa) of blocking the whole board without even considering getting a krudoku themselves, I think you have misunderstood the purpose of the game. Then the game should have been named "The Blocking Game", or "The Destroying the Opponent´s Game" or something like that.

I have played - and lost - many funny games against very good krudoku players playing the way I think the game was supposed to be played. And I didn´t mind loosing those games at all. But having to play one tile at the time, or even having to pass the last 25 rounds of the game, that makes me really mad!

So if you wonder why I and many other people sometimes " deliberately do not want to finish the game and / or do not even play", well I think you have the answer.

At one point I thought I might try to adapt this boa style. But why bother trying to adapt a playing style you hate. So therefore I chose to quit.

An now I observe that 1roxy1 who has played since the start of this league, who has been one of the keenest players of this league, and who has tried to enlist more players for this league, also has chosen to quit.

SAD!!!!!!!

I was one of them who really loved and enjoyed playing krudoku when I discovered the game.

I was one of them who tried - and succeeded in getting enough people to join, so that we could start a League here.

I quit this League long time ago because of what is described in this forum. Just started hating the game. How fun is it to have to place one tile at the time??

And just look at Feudia where this kind of play has been discussed over and over again. Tournaments requiring 64 people were fully booked in no time one year or so ago. Now they are not even near filling up a tournament requiring 32 people....

To tell you the trough I was one of them before, even resigned when the game was becoming no fun anymore.

But now with more experience in playing krudoku, I´m enjoying all kind of styles.

That´s just the fun to do everything what is possible between the rules to win. When you have the right tiles you will succeed and when your´re getting the wrong tiles, you maybe will loose.

Getting the wrong tiles a lot, does don´t make the opponent is a boa-style player. Then don´t get frustrated because it is not his fault. It is both: being smart and getting the good tiles.

Then krudoku is really fun to play.

T ALSAKER, 1ROXY1 and RANVO is among these few heartwarm samaritans who sacrifice some of their own money, earned through suffering and pain, to pay for the fun for all of us.

The two last players will be relegated. With this many amazeballs players it is hard to tell you who wins, but I guess blackpalm wins this group.
