I and a few dozen others just played an hour and a half long game of DvZ because of one guy who thought he was clever.

DvZ is a game about teamwork. The point is to have fun with everybody else - not to make it boring for either side by spawn-camping or creeper-spamming. And certainly not by sabotaging the game.

I just finished a game that lasted a whopping hour and a half. At least thirty of those minutes consisted of the most boring, dull, and repetitive gameplay I've experience in DvZ. Five dwarves weer left alive, retreated in the final shrine. Somehow, there was a constant stream of procs and no dwarf deaths for at least 20 minutes. I've never seen the monsters communicate among themselves as much as they were just now.... accusations thrown left and right about whether they were hacking, who was hacking, how they were not dying or losing their procs.

People started leaving the game out of boredom and I don't blame them. I was on the verge of doing so as well, when suddenly one of the monster's admits to feeding the dwarves procs. Cue a shitstorm in chat.

Please, please, please don't be that guy. You're not cool or entertaining. You're boring everybody else to death and pissing them off too. Once this guy admitted to feeding procs, he stopped, and the game ended in less than ten minutes.

I'm not going to post screens because I would still feel bad about publicly shaming this person. But just as a plea to the community - don't ruin anyone else's fun, especially in games like DvZ where there are no winners or losers. We're here to have fun just as much as you are, so don't ruin it for everyone else.

EDIT: I did report him, and based on the conversation in chat I'm sure at least a couple of others did as well. The staff replied incredibly quickly but the canned response said there was nothing they could do based on the evidence I gave. Which I understand since I could not catch the whole conversation due to all the death messages.

I was a creeper in a Mount Willakers game with several top players. I approached one of them on the far right near the coast. And noticed a creeper, right next to them, behind them.

Great I thought. I'll distract them and the other creeper can explode. I started approaching and jumping around, and the player started shooting at me, and I kept thinking go dude, explode. But the creeper didn't explode and I was eventually shot.

So I returned as a zombie and a few other zombies followed me. The other creeper was still there, still right next to the player. As we all attacked the player, they killed the creeper and then proced all the zombies.

That creeper could have just thought it was funny. It could have been an alt. account. Or an agreement between players But I suspect at least some of the top players get there with help like that.

I am not sure there is anything that can be done about players willing to cheat like that. At least they are not hacking. I've seen a lot of flyers recently.

Also recently two players kept having a CAPITALIZED argument over who should have given armor to whom, or what ever. It was both annoying but also kind of hilarious.

Thank you for making this public. This needs to be more well known among the playmindcrack community.

I was in a game where a creeper is always giving procs and never admits it and I killed the person he was helping by guarding the creeper from his hits. That person,at that time was in the dark.
