Forced Lag

What exactly would be the benefit for him to do it intentionally, given the current issue where host quits report as losses for everyone else anyway? There's no scenario there that doesn't lead to the guy getting a loss anyway.

That's the point, he was losing, host was on the winning team, he made the lag to get the other team (including host) to quit.

//edit, woops, should have read the second post too

Username noted.  Screenshots are swell though...

Evidence would be appreciated, otherwise you could just be hating on Pradedushka because he beat you or something.

/signed  pics or it didn't happen

Btw. are we talking about actual lags here or is the game slowing down to a crawl?

Try taking a screenshot of lag and tell me how that works.

The game just got terribly slow, i could barely move, the worst lag i have ever seen, wasnt simlag though, much worse.

I think after this happened just once, it is no fair to writte a complaint here on the boards.

If it happens multiple times, then come back

Well what i'm saying is you could have taken a screenie of the WarScore screen (the one that shows you everyone's ping and Simspeed) with his lag spiking.  You could have also taken a screenie of the war score screen once the host and others had dropped b/c of his lag... etc etc.

I realize hindsight is 20/20.  I only chimed in b/c it's so easy to flame someone on the boards with false information... especially when they don't present themself on the forums to defend themself.  I've seen it happen so i'm sceptical of anykind of 'flame or grief' unless i witnessed it myself, a friend of mine witnessed it or someone posts screens or vids of the said instance.  That's all.

Logic would dictate that this person was lagging because they have a poor computer/connection that couldn't handle the extra data that comes as the game progresses. More units means more lag for some people.

There was no progress in that game, after about 5minutes one of them left, after that he started lagging, all others of his team left, he stayed, then the host left after some minutes, he conceded 5 seconds after that.

Lol nice to assume the worst case

I had this two times unintentional.

I had a horrible game where the game laged from first second.

Three enemy players with sim speed of 1 - 2.

I played 15 minutes or so and it got even worse.

We seemed to lose anyway so I minimized Demigod and started playing WoW.

Because demigod needs large ressouces for an strategy game my pc went quite slow and after some minutes I was droped.

In my case it was not intentional but I still would do it again (playing WoW in a horrible game).

So perhaps he didn't caused the lag on purpose too?

... What?

Are- are you seriously saying that you started playing WoW in the middle of an online Demigod match? And then were surprised when your computer started to lag?

That unpleasantness aside, the username is noted, though some proof would be nice.

You are a horribly selfish person, and lacking in intelligence as well playing two games at once and expecting either to perform well

Vivid u should learn to concede :))))
I remember yesterday, and i wouldnt play against u again also!!!

cheers

The game started lagging immediately after someone left? If whoever left was acting as semi proxy between some other players it's quite feasable that Pradedushka ended up picking up that duty afterwards which doesn't always go smoothly, either his connection or router can't handle the extra traffic or something else.

Anyway, it seems like there's reasonable doubt that it was deliberate to me, infact I'd say it's far more likely to be an error. As such I think you should be much more careful about naming names and saying he should never be allowed to play again. Witch hunts aren't terribly fun or sensible.

Conceeding after the host left is hardly evidence of guilt either, it could just be a "Fine then, this isn't working, lets end it" response.

what pics could proof the OP's claim? believe him or not. screenshots make no difference in this case.

Note also that Fpulrelignia, a player, has a hack which causes my teammates to play poorly.  He always uses it at the start of the game, to make sure he wins.  Do not play with him.

P.S. he also kidnapped my cat, because I can't find it anymore.

Really, it doesn't even try and conscript someone else in on the fly? I can understand it frequently going wrong and chain dropping people who were proxied, but not even trying to maintain conectivity?

I don't have any knowledge to the contrary of what you say but that seems like an awfully fragile system to use before the dedicated proxy solution.
