Etiquette and Best Practices in Online Play
Setting up games with players
If you are assigned to play against someone you don't know very well in an online event (or even someone you know well), here are a few things you should do: Short version: communicate regularly and don't waste your opponent's time.
Etiquette for online play Short version - if you wouldn't do it in a face to face game, don't do it in an online game.
Etiquette for those watching others play While the commentary is part of what makes online play fun, there are some guidelines to follow. Short version - two players per game.
Let me know if you have any suggestions to add to this post. Last edited by dok; March 5th, 2013 at 04:30 PM. |

Re: Etiquette and Best Practices in Online Play
Foudzing, if I were to list players who I didn't want to play because of reasons related to this post... you would not be on the list. You do break some of these rules (you're an over-celebrator and a chat window hog) but those things don't bother me too much. Heck, I'm a chat window hog too. Nobody's perfect.
You get in touch with your opponents quickly and you play pretty fast (not as fast as me, but closer than most people ) and that counts for a lot in my book. |

Of course, I also cackle like a dang hyena so maybe my not using voice-chat is a saving thing for my opponent's. My customs.

Reason: Background noise is also a bad thing to have occur. Just sayin' |

Re: Etiquette and Best Practices in Online Play
Yeah, I have conversations with my family at times while I'm playing so that would be a problem for me. I did get a laptop from my Grandad though. The problem is the charging port doesn't work. So I am taking it apart to try and fix it. When it does get fixed, no more interruptions from people barging in and insisting on using the computer even when I tell them it's important not to be interrupted. That's why I normally schedule games for Saturday when other people aren't around to interrupt my time.
"They are too numerous to fight. What shall we do?" "Fight anyway." "You can never defeat another if you know not how to defeat yourself." my tradelist |

Re: Etiquette and Best Practices in Online Play
I know I'm guilty of playing pretty slow (especially in the C3G games) and I'm a touch over celebratory. I'm trying to get better about both, unfortunately there's nothing I can do about my lack of Skype (besides moving I guess), which is part of the reason I play on the slow side.

I usually play a little slower in C3G, too, just because I am reading the cards a lot more... |

Re: Etiquette and Best Practices in Online Play
Definitely going to make an effort to take online play more seriously. Ive been putting a lot More thought into my tourny games and im starting to really become infatuated with this game. (Only been playing for a little short of a year) I am starting to see how some of my behaviors in past games have probably been irritating, im going to try and follow the ediquette more closely and considerately. I am really excited to get to know all of you here on heroscapers, btw
