I'm not going to be hypocritical like most people (yes, zblader, look up the meaning of the word, please, please, please. I'm not the one being a hypocrite.). I'm going to say it flat out. Though most of you like to pretend you're all high, mighty and good, I play the EC's for one reason and one reason alone. I want the Power. If there's no chance for me to get the Power, I don't want to play.


*was only asking :P * Anyway, instead of starting another dictionary argument like last time, Jed really should just leave it up to the players by adding "Do you want to play for 3rd?" in 5 player ec's.

Quite simple, really... EC games are different from non-EC games. EC games are very competitive, in non-EC games, you actually get to play against "fun" decks. Additionally, I was not complaining. I was stating a simple fact. Complaining is not allowed in the crying thread. Additionally... length of EC's is a completely different thing from frequency of EC's. What's wrong with shorter EC's? I would very much prefer to have a 30-minute EC ever hour than a 2-hour EC every 8 hours.


Dude, I think that's a bit of power overload, but suggest away, 'cause I am a terrible debater who posts to the best of his ability anyway. As for type of deck kind of thing, the EC makes me think of certain other cards games, who offer similar ways to test out decks, anti-decks, and the like. Not everybody's in it for power either. I sometimes just play knowing I lose(which is very stupid of me, but alright, go ahead and insult me if you need to.), or just to see how decks are going around.

Finally (and this is directed to the "player base" in general)... I just noticed that the two people who have pushed for this, yaron and I, are two of the most active players in the game, in the actual game. Those that rarely play anymore, though... Yeah... Sorry, I don't want to hurt your feelings.


*cough*.... I'm defnitley not that active, but care to prove that theory? I've seen other players that stick on a while as well.

while i dont think this is a huge issue.....i will simply say it would be better if u dont have to play them....but since u can resign without playing anything and lose no rating points i guess thats fair.....the only problem is usually i dont pay attention to how many ppl are in ec. so if i play for third and i usually do without looking....then im expecting points. i assume its the same for everyone else. so its just kinda a frown when i dont get any but i do understand not giving out power to third if its 5 or less.

As i said its not a huge issue but it might be something to consider.....maybe no game or an option. i mean if u just wanna play...just challenge ppl.the game seems fairly active at the right times.

The funny thing is, there's no game for 3rd in 4-player EC's.
Why the difference?

Maybe because 4/2 = 2 (games), and 5/2 = 2.5 which rounds to three games?

Well said. I actually got logged off once because of the server being full.
