If something bothers you then let it be known to them, and try to work it out. Joining a forum in an attempt to vent your frustration as well as hope for people you don't know to validate your position without any contextual knowledge is the wrong play.

You will find no answers here.
You'll just get insta-flamed.

I never understood this mentality. The guy probably got bored and wanted to share something with the community. He had an interesting topic (seeing as how it got this many replies) and people are discussing it, I don't see what's so wrong about this. Not every thread needs a super intense purpose (and I seriously doubt he actually needs your opinion on this matter).

Sometimes, I just visit this thread just see if there's anything interesting and see what people thought of different situations, even hypothetical. Marvin Austria makes an effort in the value forum and I am sure he knows what he's doing more than most of the people that give him opinion.

Or don't play with scheisty poor sport losers at all, since they will ragequit just to spite you like a butthurt crybaby.
Ripping the winner off of something he earned through technicalities because you can't win on your own (to which these players would have a lot of great excuses why they were losing) is just bs, and it's sad. Lose with some dignity.

I would probably not play with him anymore. But that's a good rule and what i do.

I always thought that this was a great rule for multiplayer. That opponent's death shouldn't really mean you lose whatever he summoned, flavor wise i think it would still exist. I know sometimes people have to leave a game but i'd be down to make a physical representation like a token.

I can't imagine a sore loser playing a dumb political deck like Zedruu.

This is the scenario: I managed to get out an early It That Betrays and started swinging at the player who I'd benefit most from getting sacrificed permanents. After the second attack, he simply concedes in order to deprive me of the extra card power in my fight against the others.

Is it just me, or is this petty and unsportsmanlike? Granted, it's not terribly fun to be set back like that, but is it more fun to sit and watch everyone else play? This also tends to happen when the person's killer would gain life (or anything else) in the process of killing someone.

Compounding matters is how our playgroup feels that the first person to lose should go first in the next game. While I have no qualms with the spirit of this rule, they apparently find it valid to play first even if their loss was a concession.

Thoughts?

You asked for thoughts, then get defensive when you don't like the thoughts given.

In Multi-player it's a little different though I think. Unless you're completely dead to rights, you're never really out of it. Another player might see it fit to save your butt and form an alliance against the guy who tried to kill you. If it effects the game for the other players, even if it means just taking some damage and nothing else, I feel like you should stay in the game.

Of course this can easily be swayed by several factors for me.

Opponent has Omniscience and is taking needless amounts of time to win.
There's another game starting up.
I'm sleepy.
I'm leaving.
There's pizza.
I'm trading.
etc.

The next player started his turn and the game continued without combo guy. So ignoring a player is basically a concession, right?

When you play a game, not just Magic everyone wants to do well. But sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug. Whats important is if youre doing poorly you take it in stride and dont **** on the people who are doing well.
