I'm sure all you regulars know who I'm talking about.  Currently I've got 5 games held up by this same player.  The guy joined up last month and has already racked up almost 100 boots!  Is there someone that can bounce him?  Is there a rule against this kind of behavior.  A first it was just a nuisance.  Now it's getting really annoying!  Thanks!

Did you set him as an enemy?

I have but it doesn't matter if he joins up after you have.

Where's Waldo?

That problem will resolve itself now that his trial premium membership has expired.  FWIW, I think he actually plays a LOT - I see him active several times per day.  He just can't keep up when it's his turn in over 100 games, as I saw at one point.  That's already dropping fast.

It do. If you set him as an enemy, and he's a standard player, he won't see the game and can't join it.

I think Sinbad means it doesn't matter after he has joined the game and/or the game has already started.

H rating of 1%!

...I had to look up the lowest scores, just for curiosity, and I'm suddenly in awe of some players tenacity.   More than a 100 games and no wins.  I would never make it!

For Invention there are several players who have played over 100 games, but have a less than 1000 ranking.  I guess I should be proud that they like the map so much that they keep playing even when they rarely win.

Yeah, I actually swore off that map for awhile.  It's kind of addictive. I was top 5 and then I had a huge string of games where everything that could go wrong did. Mostly noobs would murder suicide me (probably because they didn't realize the overall dynamics).  Or, brawling 2 v 1 me. Not taking me out just wearing us all down until the 4th player got a walk over.

I dropped like a rock I think below 1000. Stopped playing for a long time. Now, I only join now if it's mostly ranked players. 

Yeah, I have a tough time staying over 1000 too.  Players of Invention are inevitably either completely green and act erratically, or are very good players.  Either way it can be hard to win a game.

A good example of where unranked games would be nice.

I feel your pain!  I was ranked in the top 3 and in trying to get the top spot back, I've dropped 14 of my last 15 games.  Argggghhhh! :)

Lol, I can relate. As Ozy states, it can be even harder to win on that map vs noobs. Cool dynamic. Not many boards can claim thus.

It all depends in the noobs are actual noobs, or learned enough to notice the player on a 1400+ rating is one to be worrying about rather than the guys on 1000 who might just boot after a few turns.
