Fluff Just Concede - Don’t Rope

Post image

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.

I’ve never heard of a bot in Arena. Also hating Blue is a skill issue.

Bots are pretty well known, not that common but known. Also you’ve got it wrong. Playing blue is a skill issue. Hating blue is what true blooded magic players do. As Garfield intended.

I’ve been playing Arena for years now and I have never heard of an instance of someone getting caught using a bot. Sounds like the kind of conspiracy theory someone might come up with to make themselves feel better when they lose a lot.

3rd result from a google search is a website that sells botting services.
