Hi,

I was challenged by Chester today and after winning the game he talked to me in not so friendly way. We had no conversation in game, so I don't know why he was so angry about me. Losing the game does not explain these words for me.
With picture.

I've stopped playing with him for more or less the same reasons... Only reason I still do is when I'm unfortunately paired with him during EC's (good part is it's like getting a bye, bad part is I have to deal with him).

i suppose i have been viewed as "easy pickin's" since i don't win a lot. But i am so disappointed in the fact that I had been working on a deck with phantom cards i kept getting and decided to actually buy gold and buy the cards i wanted. So after a mildly expensive shopping spree i get my usually losing deck into good enough shape. first time out to bat with my new deck i lost. ok no big deal it happens. cuttingedge mauled me with some cards i had never seen before. we gg'd and he left and then i get a pop-up challenge from chester. next thing i know my deck was actually working and i was feeling great about how i had spent money i shouldnt have but it appeared to be "paying" off. so then as i'm really close to winning i start getting messages in french. funny thing is i knew what he was saying because i happen to know a couple of "choice french phrases." Anyway at the end of my match (which there was no way in heck i was gonna resign at this point because now i was mad about being asked to play and then sworn at in foreign languages) i got a nice reiteration of what those phrases were in english just in case i didnt know french. even though i won i felt awful and wondered why on earth am i spending my money to play a game only to be sworn at. and we arent just talking about calling someone a name because they are turtle-ing around the board we are talking full on verbal assault. im not into that. what is worse is he was even in the same guild as i was. i have currently left schooloffish because i dont want at all to be associated with foul mouthed brats that cant take a loss. i am considering leaving the game because i dont need this kind of garbage.

*sighs* looks like we have a new wrathofgods up. I suppose I should do some slicing and dicign with him as well eh?

Evylution:

I understand your frustration, but running from this dude is not a solution I endorse.
That is the exact behavior that emboldens a bully to continue his meaner ways.
And, sadly, our planet is full of people that behave this way. Retreating will not work!!

I believe evolution itself is the answer here. It has been defined as "a gradual development,
especially to a more complex form." Bullies abound because they are allowed to thrive.
As a gaming community, we can influence to what degree they are accepted in our midst.
If we consistently give 'em the old heave-ho, they will become more or less extinct.
That is good in my book. Action, consequence.

So let us combine forces, give this dude a clear signal that frequent
outbursts of this nature cross the proverbial line in the sand, and let him make the next move.
Behavior improves = great! Behavior continues = hasta la vista chump. That is all.

Cordially,

DarkJello

Agreed. The next time he tries to be a sore loser, I shall start filling his message box with a message that supports the other player ^^ .

Perhaps the ignore option could be set to block the in-game chat as well?
