We have always honoured the 12hour fog rule in wars. It's a courtesy thing.Agent 86 wrote:You oppose this, why? Looks like all the top clans enjoy the gentleman's agreement.codierose wrote:what rules are associated with your fog apart from the 12hr lol
then take out the remake clause, just have the courtesy rule?IcePack wrote:the remakes would not be enforced through the CD's
Now I know what you're saying, penalty for not following the 12hr rule if it's in place. Looks like that won't be a problem, so anyone heard from RA on their opinion? Well I've informed the clan that the 12hr rule is in place for all fog games except for conquest maps. We are happy about this and won't need to label games as such.codierose wrote:Gentlemen's rule I have no problem with. The rule with penalties i do.
Yes from ++the legion++ to the gentlemen's agreement.
I apologize for my late reply.Agent 86 wrote: Looks like that won't be a problem, so anyone heard from RA on their opinion?

I am sure you get the difference between midturns and the initial picture of the map. Both teams deserve to know how the drop was before game begins and that has nothing to do with having fun playing fog, it's about being good sportsmanship. What you are talking about applies perfectly for every turn except for the first one.VioIet wrote: RA never has and never will support the Fog rule. I've debated a bit about it in the past, but it seems that people have different perspectives about it. And there are ladies on this site, such as myself, so why is it a "gentleman's" rule?" (I am partially joking with that last comment).
If I am playing a fog of war clan game, I would prefer if the other team DID NOT wait for 12 hours or tell us their starting locations. To me, it diminishes the competitiveness and ruins the whole spirit of fog. I don't want to know where my opponents' regions are- that's the whole fun of playing fog. I want to rely on skill, strategy and the game log to try to figure it out myself. Going second can possibly be a disadvantage on many maps/games/settings, but I accept that. But just because my team moves second, doesn't mean that we need any sort of freebie, or hint to try to "level" the playing field; we can do that ourselves. At least, that's how I look at it. I apologize in advance if I offend anyone or seem "uncourteous." That is not at all my intention. I just do not like the principal/purpose behind the rule, and I could never abide to it with "good feelings."
Ok guys, let's not discuss this issue in this thread. In my experience people have strong feelings/opinions about the FoW 12 hour courtesy rule and you're unlikely to change those feelings/opinions with a few posts back and forth.PaRKoN wrote:I am sure you get the difference between midturns and the initial picture of the map.

No worries about the fog label.drpall wrote:I am afraid that I already marked MM home games against RA as fog, but this is duly noted.
No 12 h rule against RA.
Game numbers would help a lot though
