So what does that say about the Davion pilots then?

It says they were average-ish. If they *completely* sucked, then the dracs would have been paired with equally mediocre pilots, and the loss of four would have been critical.

Because the Stiener unit in question is presumably pretty good, matchmaker had to find some trash to balance the ELO. Which it apparently did.

If your team is *better off* with you sitting out the match, that doesn't say great things about you

Not fighting in a game is not, in fact, against the rules. I defy you to point to the rule that says you have to fight in every single match. there is a rule about (and I quote:) 'Persistent non-participation in core game mechanics' but that isn't what this steiner dog is crying about. if we'd dropped with him over and over and been AFK that would be one thing. We totally participated, though. we fired guns, walked around, used the chat function to taunt steiner. And it was only once. So no rules broken or even partially broken here, pal.

Yes it is.


Non-Participation Abuse
If a player has joined a match, they must have launched the game with intent to play. Players who are not moving, or are otherwise not participating in the spirit of the game, fall under this category. While we all understand the call of nature: Repeated abuse of this behaviour, similarly to 'Mech Suicide and Team Killing, results in an unfair advantage for the enemy teams, and is thus not considered acceptable use. Please keep in mind that idling on your cap point without armour or moving does not constitute a form of tactical "Base Defense".

If you're so intent on getting literal, 2 day old players banned it's a wonder this community isn't more active with people like you in it.

I'm not sure if you can't read or are just trolling.

I wouldn't perm-ban them, but I would give them a 2 day time out for being naughty and acting like childish twits.

Tell me Alex, how big do you think is PGI´s yearly budget for the game police checking "cases of violations against the spirit of the game"?

Looks like you nailed them this time.

This behaviour isn't very becoming for the leader of a unit...

[Harathan]

Turns out NKVA troll in-game as well as on the forums and use "it's RP" as the same excuse for both. Who'd have imagined?

[Vlad Ward]

So....

You lost against them in CW, they taunted you, and you got so upset you felt the need to come over to the Kurita boards to tell everyone about it?

Did I get that right?

Can't tell if you're addressing me or the OP. For my part, I don't think I've dropped against NVKA; I've taken a break from CW since it was taken over by crapposting trolls who use "it's RP" to excuse piss poor behaviour.

O ok.

No, I was addressing you. My assumption was that you were necro'ing a thread about something that happened two weeks ago because you were just super upset about something, and given Davion's recent performance in CW it wasn't hard to draw reasonable conclusions about what that something might be.

In hindsight, I guess you weren't the first person to necro it, just the first one to reply to the OP in a while. My bad.
