Dont do things to piss people off in your first 10 games or so. If your first or second feedback is negative and you get two in a row your screwed. Then everyone wants to give you bad feedback because they see that you have a lot. Trust me thats what happened to me.

New players - disregard this nonsense. Play all your turns to the best of your ability and no one will black ball you. If you are new and you miss your turns often, yes, the community will in fact turn on you.

I probably has something to do with your score being so absolutely dismal, Trains.

everybody gets bad feedback sometimes......

be polite play as good as you can and improve your score. and when you reach a decent level pm the guys that gave you neg asking them nicely to remove it because you changed.

Trainsrokg, your negative feedback seems to be for repeated deadbeating and poor play in team games. If you take all your turns and listen to your teammates, you probably won't get negative feedback. No one is going to give you negative feedback for having negative feedback if you take your turns and play sensibly.

The only way that previous negative feedback may impact on your current feedback is that players may see that you are repeating the things that have earned you negative feedback in the past, and will therefore be less inclined to overlook your sins. :wink:

I would suggest taking your negative feedback on board and using it to improve your play - you may then earn enough positive feedback to outweigh it!

Im new here joined 4 weeks ago so far no neg. feedback (18-0) so dont be frightened away by the first post here, his experience is the exception not the norm.

yes trainsrokg you joined a lot of my open game's you missed turns regularly in most of em.
surely you must have realised by now that missing turns for double armies is a bad strategy and is what is affecting your score
i was deliberating myself whether or not to give you a neg for it, but as you already had some i didn't really see the point as its not going to alter the way you play

Is that what he was doing? Lame. That really is a way to get players on your bad side. No wonder....

With that score nobody in their right mind would play him anyway now

As someone who is 98-0 and almost 1000 games completed, I have never missed a turn, let alone missed a turn- taken a turn for strategy !! Yes I've done stupid moves and generally made mistakes but missing turns for strategy alone has got to be one of the worst things I hate to see !! cheers, Vchef69

What bullshit! I got 3 negative feedbacks in my first 3 games (deadbeated I'm afraid - came back a week later) more than a year ago and very little was said against me by others. I'm now down to 2 neg fbs (1 completely unjustified, might I add).

take a look at game 795590, teal gave me a negative, i talked more then pink and he didnt say squat about him

Seriously, how can you have a score of 296 though. You lost 700 points? You haven't even been here a month...

No offense but you're either the world's worst Risk player or your pulling a simtom (intentionally losing). Either way, you are the reason we have a feedback system. We deserve to be warned of deadbeaters/flat out terrible players.

From what I saw, you deserve every one of your negatives. Stop doing stupid things in games and you'll stop getting negatives (i.e.: deadbeating).

Haddaway · Post by **Haddaway** » Tue Sep 11, 2007 3:10 am

I played against you in a good seven-eight of my own games, and a few other peoples games. Thank God I wasn't with you, though. Without fail, in every one of these games you deadbeated. It's not a matter of playing well/poorly, that's easily forgiveable for a new player. It's joining (absolute minimum) 15 games and then failing to click 'Start Turn' once every 2-3 days.

I think once you start accumulating Negative Feedback and you keep on deadbeating games and ruining team strategies, you will inevitably keep racking up neg feed (kind of like that video game where you have to roll around and make cars, sheep, and stuff stick to ya...what was the name of that game?)

Katamari Damacy, and its sequels Beautiful Katamari (unreleased), We Love Katamari, and another one for the PSP that I can't remember.

All I'll say is try your best to do the right thing and be friendly in game. Play within the rules, leave appropriate feedback for others, thank people for games, don't annoy people in chat and so on...

There are few who will leave negative feedback for others, just because their subject has alot of negatives. It is inappropriate, and you have every right to leave them negative too.

I see your point. A little bit at least.

A way to get around this for new players is to register a few accounts, play with them and then after a week or two just keep the one with the best score/best feedback.

Hey, isn't that considered "multi-ing"?
