Is is worse to Suicide or Dead Beat?

Friend do it this way - that is,
whatever you do in life,
do the very best you can
with both your heart and mind.

If you do it that way - that is,
if you truly join your heart and mind
as One - whatever you ask for,
that's the Way It's Going To Be.

Dead beating just takes forever, leaving me even more time to dwell on the fact said deadbeater is being an ass. At least if the person suicides I can still play in a timely fashion. I guess to me it's like asking if I would rather get guillotined or cut over a hundred times so that i slowly bleed to death. Also as a freemium member, when I run into a game with dead beaters I'm left with about 25% of my current gameplay being dragged out longer than the presidential election process, whereas when someone suicides the game can end in about the same amount of time it took for Bush to become late night talk show host's number one punch line and therefore I can move on.

Both are preferable

I got to disagree with DM, i dont like deadbeaters or suiciders, since they both screw my game and my plans up. But if i were to choose, i would have to go with suiciders.

I like deadbeats, strangely. With my lazy self, it's preferable to take as less turns as possible. Suiciders are just annoying, but I have never had one before so I have no idea how.

i hate suiceders with a psasion...they just f*ck your game up

any non-prem will tell you that deadbeaters are way worse than anything because they fill one of their precious 4 game slots.

DM, not DiM. Dm is Dancing Mustard

He was referring to Dancing Mustard.

EDIT: Damn, beat.

I prefer suiciders over deadbeats, but I haven't come across many suiciders. I don't think I've come across any at all.

There was this one six-player AoM game I was in where everyone except I deadbeated. Easiest hundred points I've ever earned.

ahhh, the dancing mustard!! my bad. i just didn't see an entire page of whining, so i didn't know what DiM had to do with the thread (OH!!! you know you are laughing DiM!!). anyway, intentional dead beating sucks... but i've only had one person do it to me in a game. suicide runs aren't so bad. especially if they break someone elses bonus!!!-0

I'd rather have a deadbeater then a suicider. Suicides ruin the game. :evil:

My best suggestion, is just deploy on one space over and over again. it doesn't take much work and doesn't harm the game much.

dont do either, play to win ive won a 5 player standard after coming down to one army on one territory, it was hard, but i did it

shut up noob :lol:

on topic. i prefer deadbeats.

suicide is way more screwing up the game than deadbeating, except if you suicide every player proportionally =p

Definitely suicide.

And sometimes, you end up with a huge stack that everyone ignored, which can re-establish you in the game, after the big boys duke it out a while.

suicide is way worse. Suicide screws the game over for the guy you attack. deadbeating just slows it down a bit.

Yeah, i have premium, so one game out of my 90 active wont slow me down that much, but a suicide can easily ruin a game and you lose a bunch of points.
