Re: On the subject of Stacking

WIN!!
Couldn't get to the top in time? That's funny...

Anyway. No matter what choice of words you choose for the actions being talked about in this thread, if you come to any sort of agreement with opponents before a match has begun, you are rigging the match.. even if it is something as simple as agreeing to allow 4 robots on the ramp.

[BTW: If you agree to let 4 robots on the ramp, no matter what, and your opponent will lose if they allow you on the ramp, they will not let you on..]

Lets just all go away from this with the mindset of playing each match as its dealt, and taking the result as something determined by fate. Try to run away from fate, and you'll find yourself on a treadmill: alot of wasted enery for an unchanged result.

There are way too many words in this thread.. and I am not speaking of the length of posts, but the "nothing" some of them contain. But oh well, life.

Oh, reaching a simple agreement for one match renders you just as guilty as someone who does it for every match. So ensure, before you post in this thread, that your words are not hypocritical.
