We get it. You love turtling. You turtle like a diverticulosis patient after too many plates of chicken vindaloo.

I'll wager you're a joy to play games with.

Try again, this time without making stupid judgements about people you've never met.

Simple: some venues have one or more "that guy." At a more casual venue, one in which folks just get together to kick around and decompress a bit, one or more individuals who refuse to do anything but pass on a consistent basis can kill the experience for the majority. Playing "that guy" (or one of them) adds an element of chore to the proceedings, which can be unpalatable.

And yeah, you can play aggro, but it gets to a point (or can, at least) that one person's style dictates the overall style of the venue.

So no, I don't see a problem with saying "Sorry, you'll have to move out of your starting area after turn one this week, because it's getting old week after week."

Eh, it's inarguable in the sense that I'm not going to argue it. #### turtling.

Nah, I got it right the first time, brah.

Nah, you're off.

THIS sums up Vlad online, IMO. I don't think he'd disagree.

Vlad is neither good nor evil. He is simply Legal.

Nothing wrong with nonsense or turtles.

I have a player that people have finally started saying this to. One week he played a "Strategy" where he had 40+ print and play Lian Harper bystanders that he just sat back and used as human shields. It was REALLY funny when his own son TK'd a pulse wave figure out and right into the Lian wall and KO'd about 25 of them in one shot.

Worldbreaker loves turtle teams.

Nothing says "#### turtling" like a 10 damage (total) attack.

But making a rule that you can't pass DOES NOT FIX THIS. There are far more effective ways to be non-interactive in the game than passing every turn. Actively moving away, or just throwing up a barrier or two every turn does a LOT more to prevent the other person from being able to engage than just sitting there and saying you pass. The "fix" that people are suggesting does not accomplish the stated goal. At all.

No, you didn't. Quit trolling and read the words that I actually wrote. Or go back and read the dozens of posts I made about how Highfather was bad for the game because he made it non-interactive.

Seriously, I don't think you're actually dumb, so I don't know why you pretend to be.

Eh, "shock the turtle" certainly can. Can someone "break" the fix? Yep. Turds in the punchbowl can. This would be a way to get a "that guy" to come around. After that? YMMV.

I'll accept that assessment.

I will stand by my statement that playing a game with Vlad would be as much fun as catching a stream of denatured alcohol with your eyes.

I do it so boys will like me.

That depends. Are you deliberately obtuse in person as well, or only online?

I find this description acceptable.

Depends on your interpretation of "In person".
