@seththenewb:
Triplea’s fine if it’s a single sub vs single ship with maybe some air thrown in on either side. But when there’s multiple ships on either side involved and at least 1 sub is present than it should be rolled on the forum. Unless it’s like say the entire IJN against a single sub. That really doesn’t happen all too often, so it’s not that much work.
If it is still too much work, I offer to give you the win. I’ll just walk away from this because it’s not worth the hassle and I’d prefer not to play against someone who doesn’t respect an opponent or the rules.
I really think that’s over-reacting.

Right
(That’s what I was trying to post on the previous post)
I didn’t realize that Seth is such a serious player. It’s good to know that. Respect! No bad feeling at all.
Nope. Seth is a great person. He helped me a lot for this one my 1st league game.
Seth, I do believe MagicQ respects you more than any other player in the league respects you :lol:
@seththenewb:
Yea, Gamer’s right if you refuse to roll sub combat on the forums then I will continue to protest each and every battle that you roll in triplea that has subs in it.
Gamer, since you are saying that I’m ‘technically correct’ (although apparently not correct enough to negate his illegal roll this past battle). What is your stance on further combat involving subs? We don’t know what the next combat will result in, so I’m not trying to avoid any dicing. But I did protest his rolling in triplea prior to seeing the results and that didn’t get me anywhere either . . . . :roll:
Let Gamer create a poll thread and ask how the majority of league players in this forum prefer it. That would the simplest solution. LOL
lol good point, but I feel like I’ve been beating a dead horse all day, so I won’t :-)
Seth, what he’s trying to say is you’re being a rules Nazi! Lighten up, man! Now unbutton that top button on your shirt and have some fun already!
I don’t. Yeah, I’m pretty competitive and I’d rather win than lose. But honestly I love playing the game more than anything and I don’t want to get sucked into a no fun game. Different case for playoff or tourney game. But this doesn’t mean much to me.
And right now this game’s not giving me much joy because myself and MagicQ aren’t on the same page about the sub issue and who knows what else might crop up down the road. If it’s this much hassle, I’d rather focus on my other games and start new ones than continue this one. It’s up to MagicQ though if he’s prepared to spend a couple of seconds to roll sub combat. Besides he never responded to my earlier question about what situation forum dice are needed.
As far as the poll, it’s not needed. I’ve played tons of games in league and nonleague play on this forum. I’ve also lurked in quite a few games. This is the first time I can remember where anyone has had an issue rolling on the forum.
The only other player I can think of is Bold, but that’s more because he has bad luck and blames the forum rather than make & wear garlands of 4 leaf clovers, buy all the rabbit feet available on Ebay, and avoid black cats. :-P
Don’t get me wrong. I am more than happy to use forum dice whenever both of us think it is necessary. Most likely in the near future for the massive fleets in Pacific as you said, for instance. Are we on same page now? I shall continue then? :mrgreen:
I have a question as an observer. If Seth believes that in battles involving Subs vs destroyers should be rolled on the forum, how come no one does this on G1 when the Germans attack SZ111 and this very situation occurs?
I’m hoping to start playing on the forum so I just want to know what would be proper. Thanks

Welcome aboard! Do not hesitate to play. This is only trivial dispute. Don’t let this discourage you. Some players don’t realize this. Some players don’t care. Some players may want it strictly done as Seth does. Not a big deal. Think about better strategy. That’s more important.
Since Seth is “technically correct”, I will try to compromise and play his way.

Hi Seth
In the future battle, we should always ask before rolling any battle involving subs. How about that?
Hi Seth
Seems you’ve lost appetite for this game and focus on other games. That’s fine. Report it please if you do wanna give up. If you wanna come back and play it to the bitter end, always welcome. I think I have made it clear for my attitude towards the forum dice issue.
GG or continue? your call.
Nope, just trying to wrap up a game that should end today. Don’t forget that I’ll sometimes have several days lull between posting turns. I should get a turn in today though.
Blamo, got the win in the game I was trying to wrap up.
FYI, I try not to check my game threads unless I’m ready for a turn. I’ve got a lot of games going and it’s too easy to lose track of them if I read a game thread without posting.
No worry. Take your time.
