For the Anti-Passers

"Opinions are like assholes , everybody has one. "

Every league out there states in its rules that passing is an acceptable strategy. If i dont like a games rules i dont play the game. Makes perfect sense to me. I have been passed on and passed myself. It is a gamble, it can backfire. You can pass and the other player makes a play , your turn comes and you are stuck with nothing or a pass situation again and pass the other player plays gets more points etc etc. Or you can get what you wanted which was a win. Otherwise why would you play? Oh yeah , just for fun and not for ladderstats or tourney wins or a 100 other reasons. I would rather see someone pass on purpose than see them put up a bullshit play that we both knew was bullshit when you put it up there. And i have seen a number of players do just that. Other players opinions of me and my game philosphy can be summed up in 5 words ... Dont like me... bite me And i shall leave this post with a quote from a player that read the blog and emailed me

"WORDOX RULES STATE THAT
PASSING IS ACCEPTABLE. IF YOU DON'T LIKE PASSING, OR THINK PLAYERS WHO PASS
ARE "SCUM," THEN DON'T PLAY WORDOX. FIND A NEW GAME."

Funny. I was looking through the official rules (http://hoylegames.sierra.com/rules/hoy_wdx_rules.jsp) for Wordox and nowhere did I find that passing was acceptable.

What an odd occurrence.

Oh, and to my anonymous friend who hasn't the testicular fortitude to actually tell me to my face to "find a new game", my reply, quite simply, is: No.

Happy tiling! :)
