Here are two more rude people to avoid: Magued and Malt-O-Mule.

Here's the game I'm referring to in the following report: http://www.planetmule.com/hi-score-game/game?game_id=42166.

They joined the first game I tried to host, along with another player. At turn 11, that other player's client stopped responding to continue. I waited for two minutes, did not see the player chatting in the lobby, so I kicked in order to finish the game, which was a shame because that player was my closest competitor. I don't like A.I. robots any more than most other honest players do.

Anyway, the game continued to turn 12, at which point both Magued and Malt-O-Mule left the game! That results in my host rating looking bad (first attempt, 0 host points, so now I'm some kind of bum? Thanks!) and I lose a win that was hard fought with three other pretty good players.

So, thanks for nothing you heels. All of us wasted 90 minutes playing a good game, then the two of you decide to take it out on me when things didn't go your way. Nobody can help the "foo is not responding to continue," those things happen and the only way to keep going is to kick the frozen player.

It's amazing to me how much new players are scorned and mistreated by the established players in this community. Nobody will get rid of me that easily. But that's the last time I host for anyone except other players I know already. Shame on me for trusting Magued (pretty highly ranked to be pulling that kind of crap, IMO) and Malt-O-Mule (whoever you really are) to behave like grownups.

I joined a bot game and got the blue color player. I like blue because it is easy for me to see it apart from the other colors. But another player (mary) wanted blue and insisted to have it, she would not play any other color! So instead of playing a game with the three others she would not join.

I think she did this because either she's spoiled and must always get what she wants, or she likes to boss  new players around. If she has played over 500 games already I find it hard to believe she only plays as her chosen color, that would be close to impossible. And if she wants to always be that color she should host games herself and make it so, no big deal, no rule against it.

I like this game and most of the other players have been fine, but mary was very bossy and bratty. This is M.U.L.E.: first come, first served. It shouldn't matter new vs. old. If the "seniors" insist on pushing around "freshmen" players, nobody will want to play any more.
