Come on, when you asked for an auto-pick, I gave it to you immediately, without any... So, to some extent, I could expect reciprocity. Or not?...
I think you misunderstood me about the cow. I wasn't talking about an armageddon, everything was fine there, although if I had lost in the end, it would have been very upsetting. The cow wasn't about taking a rematch when I already had two in reserve, just to get a rematch in the next game. And of course, the situation with the auto-pick.
I don't want to drag this off-topic discussion any further; I'll just put an end to it. No, you couldn't expect "reciprocity." The auto-pick you're talking about was more than six months ago. And in those six months, my view on "auto-picks in tournaments" has changed. I think anyone who has played with me will agree that I have never refused an auto-pick in fun games, and even in tournament matches, I used to do it until recently. But that's wrong. That's my opinion. And you yourself even described why it's wrong.
"The reason isn't strong - it's just an auto-pick in the previous stage of the tournament. But to some extent, it worked; I was still hoping for a favor from my opponent, so I went for a risky move. I really needed the money, and I ended up with 8 grand, although I could have continued playing."
This is a clear example of why auto-picks are bad. You took a risk, with the thought in the back of your mind, "if things go wrong, I'll take an auto-pick, it's not a big deal." The risk didn't pay off. That's not right; you have to pay for taking risks. It's a different story with misclicks, etc. But when you consciously take a risk and lose, you have to pay for it.
Moreover, the issue of auto-picks has been resolved in what I think is the best way. But you still made sarcastic comments about me, like "thanks, Twaryna, for the auto-pick," etc.
Well, as for the "cow." How to play in rematches is up to each player. I think I played correctly in that situation. I'm ending this off-topic discussion here.
Good luck in the final! :smile02:
