Penalty For Requesting FQ While Losing
-
I had another RS game yesterday that both of us obviously had issues with lag. I requested a FQ after they batted and they rejected. No problem. We soldiered on a couple more innings with a total of 6 hits between us and then they came back with the FQ request. I accepted and moved on.
Sometimes the gameplay is unplayable, or terrible enough that it only makes sense to have the option for both players to leave the game without penalty.

Dude. Pump the brakes.
Real men don't bang trash cans..... It's childish not to forgive and forget....
Double check yourself.
Regarding FQ, who cares. They are never used legit. That's the bottom line. The fact that you and I are arguing over it, is pointless. Just like hitting O in the FQ, you could have ignored the post by me and move on. Instead, you got snide. I replied.
Don't care what you do for a living. I'm 47 and work with kids all day too. I also reply to kids on these forums.
My opinion.. FQ needs to go.
I'm genuinely curious why you are so adamant that FQ needs to go. I understand that you don't accept them for any reason, and that's fine. But I don't understand why you feel they need to be abolished entirely.
I would think having them in the game would give someone who always denys them an advantage. If only for the fact that once in awhile you'd be matching up with someone sending friendly quits until they match up with a favorable record.
I'm not at all looking to argue, I'm just trying to see where you are coming from and get a better understanding of your side.

There are rare times where a friendly quit is necessary...its amazing how many people get offended when they are offered one. I can see how it is laughable when the person is down by 5, so you decline and move on. It takes more time for you to come onto this forum and cry about it than it does to decline the request (with most times they will just quit and you get an easy win).

Most people don't use FQ for legit purposes. You need to accept that to understand my point of view. 95% of FQ are bantha poodu.
My reasoning for removing it, is that there are chronic FQ people that send it EVERY GAME that they are planning to quit and are losing. It's a cultural issue of people using a game mechanic in an attempt to avoid the L. If one person out of 20 that they send the FQ to take it in error, they will continue to do it.
If the dog needs to go out, if I have to take a call, flip the laundry, get the doorbell etc, pause or quit. If something comes up that I need to shut down instead of playing, I should shut the machine off and take care of business.
FQ users are the same folks that dashboard.

I agree 100% with just about everything you said. People attempt to abuse it, most offers are from people losing or afraid of losing when they see your record, and there is a small percentage of people who will accept one in error.
I however think there are better solutions than simply removing it entirely, as there are certain times where a FQ is favorable to both parties.
No argument there needs to be some kind of rework though.

Once got a FQ request when I was up by a couple in the 9th inning. Declined it as (even though I'm a terrible hitter) I'm trying to prestige some cards and every infrequent hit matters to me. Instead of quitting, the user started to do that bunt-dancing thing. I don't really get it.

I don't accept friendlies unless its to my advantage.
My opponent freaks out when they see 98 Mondesi leading off and Date Palm Field at night time, and asks for a FQ, which I decline. I immediately go on to win.
P.S. I promise this is the last Mondesi/Date Palm reference I will make for the MLB 20 game cycle.
P.S.S. I may have made this promise before, but this time I mean it.

@hoboadam said in Penalty For Requesting FQ While Losing:
I've mentioned this before. Eliminate the FQ from Ranked, BR and Events. Problem solved.
Something comes up that warrants a FQ, take the L on your way out the door.
Yep. What if you get hit with mud [censored] I’m the middle of a game and you were tied or up 1. I’d ask for one and run to the bathroom and hope the time didn’t run out if he declined lolol
-
Another good reason is extra innings. Matched up with somebody who was my equal (both equally terrible lol) and after the bottom of the 11th I offered, he accepted, and we both moved on.
-
Sometimes when I go to quit I ask for a FQ on accident. I do not care if they get removed. They do not bother me. Just deny them it is not that hard nor that big of a deal.
-
The fq is like asking for a draw in competitive chess. It can only be offered once and it should not be accepted/offered unless it’s advantageous to you. It doesn’t need to be banned and people do not need to be penalized for using it. Just accept/deny and move on.
-
FQ is an attempt to dashboard a loss.

That's pretty sad if you're actually 47 and spends time on forums, and raging about having to push circle. Get a job man smfh. And there's a big difference between cheating on the biggest stage, in front of millions of people, and people placing millions of dollars in bets on a series, in comparison to someone crying about pushing circle. You also act like I'm the only person that shits on the Astros for this... LMFAO, everyone for the next 50 years will make fun of the Astros' illegitimate title.

Yeah. Technology and programming. Not a teaching degree. Degree is in finance along with securities licenses.
So yeah, I work with kids.
Edit
I also have a job and have done quite well in life. I consider myself blessed.

Interesting that you think I'm raging. Must be nice being a snowflake.
Enjoy sending your FQ and dashboarding folks. Seems like that is your modus operandi.

So you don't teach, but you have a degree in financing..... I'm pretty sure children aren't doing anything related to finances until high school....

I took over technology for my kids school when the teacher left because of covid-19. I have enough programming background to fix a private school infrastructure network and keep classes running. I don't need a team and because it's a private Catholic school, I'm basically doing it for free.
You should really think sometimes before you type.
