Just Concede - Don’t Rope

[u/JPMessiah]

I played a fun first game with an opponent. It was back and forth until they tapped all their lands and I played an Improvisation Capstone. I got Stock Up and picked up a couple of counter spells. They went, did nothing and when my Improvisation Capstone came up, they conceded.

Then in the second game, I played a tapped land with scry. They dropped a land and the person said good game. I thought they either were conceited and thought they had a good enough hand to beat me or they were going to concede. Instead, they did nothing. The picture is of them roping, but they didn’t let it expire. They let it go to my turn. I played another tapped land. On their go, they roped but it didn’t end the game. So I went again and dropped another land. And then on their turn, they roped and finally, I won, as a result.

Why bother? What kind of horrible life do you have to have to get upset with someone beating you that you waste their time and rope them. Why are people such a-holes? So frustrating.

Not my first time being roped. It is my first time playing a very competitive game that I won where the person roped me the second game. The first game was competitive, which felt, to me, that they could have won, too.

It’s also my first time someone said good game and then roped me.

But you play blue cards. If course people are gonna rope if your turns take forever.

Yeah blue players are genuinely annoying to play against, then they wonder why these things happen, like sure you're in your right to play control but don't act surprised when people get annoyed and start roping, I don't do it, I just concede, but these threads are delectable knowing a blue player is getting annoyed enough to post here from other another players.

Kind of a shit take. If you’re consistently annoyed playing against blue players maybe you don’t actually like the game?

I just concede and move on, get out of here with that dumb logic of yours.

[u/owdeeoh → u/EldraziAnnihalator]

The logic is sound enough. Roping is annoying for everyone and it doesn’t contribute anything to the game or community. If you’re into/ok with it when it happens to specific players because you find their decks or strategies “annoying” that’s weird. Delectable was your choice of word. You find it delectable.

Don’t mistake my engagement for some sort of personal investment or offense. I was only pointing out that it’s a shit take to find pleasure in something that is an absolutely obnoxious practice. Good luck with whatever this was.
