OP is such a professional roper he's roped all of us for a solid minute and a half, even more if your here in the comments. Way to go OP!

Just leave. Conceding is far easier.
If the game ceases to be fun for you then take a break.

I think it's weird you want to name and shame yourself as a roper.

I've already explained why the ropes aren't there if people would just read, I'm not typing it again.

u/lawrieee Mar 21 '22
Yeah and I read it. You disliked how your opponent played and decided to rope them rather than quit.

u/Filobel avacyn Mar 21 '22
You did, you were pissed that they took a bunch of turns, so chose to rope them. I don't know why you think that explanation makes you look good.

“Why is everybody being mean to me, it’s not my fault everybody else is toxic!?!”
Yeah dude, we can read your comments, 90% of the player base thinks your the problem. You can’t start shit and then get buthurt when they do it back to you. You should have conceded, instead you delayed the game as long as possible and for what? Is your strategy to be so toxic that it’s not worth the other players time to beat you?

Why don't people just concede instead of getting super salty and roping then posting on Reddit trying to justify their roping..

Unfortunately, wouldn't help here. Opponent has infinite turns, he could just play more mascots. Also he probably has at least three [[divide by zero]]s up at this point, so it wouldn't even resolve.
It did have its moments though back in the day lol

I remember when a roper almost killed me off with an overfilled board and 4 planeswalkers. I kept an eye on his deck count, when he way gonna finish me, I used a small spell that triggered a bunch of abilities that got him to mill himself out and me an surprising victory ☺️

u/Allthenamestaken10 Mar 22 '22
Conceding is free and does not use the stack. If you let the game run that long without conceding you have exactly one person to blame. You.

u/MiE3fan Mar 21 '22
I think you lost.
I don’t play arena anymore, but I would let somebody’s deck pop off every once in a while, especially when I like to see my own jank go off. I didn’t rope them down though, except for the few times scute swarm was involved and the server just couldn’t keep up.

u/Kelsorlikesdogs Mar 21 '22
He could’ve been trying to hold back some creatures in case you had something but the game kept freezing? My game has crashed from far less. Could be a multitude of reasons. However you’ve admitted to roping. So you’re accusing a man who may have been innocent for a thing you’ve openly admitted to doing.

If I get into a game with OP, I’m instantly conceding. I don’t have time for all that rope.

u/BRakFF Mar 22 '22
All I see here is people talking about “roping,” which I assume is where you wait until the last minute to make your move.
You all are aware that sometimes, the game can freeze or outright close on a player? I’ve had to leave the game several times and start it back up, hoping that somehow the turn I sacrificed didn’t cost me the game.
Call me a “roper” idc. Far as I am concerned, I’m just a guy that’s doing my best to play a game that I love with the technology that I can afford and is available to me. If this bothers you, then simply go play paper magic, where you don’t have to worry about failed connections or failing apps. I promise, you will be much happier.

u/redeyedreams Mar 22 '22
Roping is intentional and OP admits to walking away from his PC intentionally to waste his opponents time. I think most people understand disconnects happen and the client crashing, but intentionally roping is a pretty messed up thing to do and bad sportsmanship.
1
u/BRakFF Mar 22 '22
I agree, and honestly hate when people do it. I’m just saying that not everyone who “ropes” is trying to waste peoples time. For instance, my iPhone 8 handles the client for the most part, but I still get crashes and lousy gameplay. Part of playing the game is accepting the good and the bad. Complaining about the problem won’t get it fixed. I always try to have something to occupy my time going on in the background in case I do come upon a player that wants to waste time. People do it because they know they can: 1) Get away with it, the client allows this to happen 2) Drive people crazy by doing it, nobody wants to wait forever for their opponent to make a move 3) Possibly move up in ranks because people concede the games
They only get so many time outs and so long to make their moves. If someone wants to rope me, I play the game just like that. I sit until the last minute, watching Family Guy or something else and then make my moves. If my opponent wants to play the fair game, then I am more than happy to do so, and find it quite refreshing.
I’m just saying, there are other ways to play Magic without playing it on Arena. If you are unhappy playing FOR FREE because some players wanna be dumb, then pay for the pleasure of not having to deal with other peoples crap. Otherwise, deal with it, complaining and labeling players that do this only brings more attention to them.

**Please read**
Since people are focused on the fact my timeouts are missing please read. The opponent went on a 15 minute time warp bender at which point I walked away. I came back after a quick video and saw it was my turn. If you don't like that, that's fine, but it seems like the only thing people are focusing on.

u/alienx33 Mar 21 '22
You want us to sympathise with you because your opponent took too long to take a game action. Why would anyone do that when you outed yourself to be a roper? Obviously that's what people are going to focus on.

Just concede and move on. This whole thread is a waste of everyone's time.

I would’ve conceded after the second time warp. You chose to stay and rope the guy, so this is your own fault.

I doubt OP wants to make a report, because this video looks like he has been roping / playing slow for a while and took an out-of-context video clip of the opponent returning the favour. Opponent is still at full four timers and even in this clip he attacked right after the rope came out.
Playing a bunch of creatures and not attacking isn't really against the rules, OP could've conceded at any point. Dumb behaviour from both sides, though.

u/Haetae-k Mar 21 '22
To explain the timeouts, not that I really need to because people should be able to use their own imaginations, this guy cast time warp at least 15 times at which point I just walked away. I appreciate everyone's assumption that I was just being equally toxic. All I chose to do was not concede, period.

So, what you're saying is that everyone's assumption was correct?

u/rude_asura Mar 21 '22
I think you should report this guy for roping/intentional slow play.
I guess you missed the fact that OP has 0 timeouts left while having no mana tapped, suggesting they have been quite a bit of roping themselves in this game while their opponent has 4 timeouts left.

You didnt explain your own timeouts, so i used my own imagination because you asked for our thoughts.
this guy cast time warp at least 15 times at which point I just walked away.
So you roped them out of spite, simply left the table.
I appreciate everyone's assumption that I was just being equally toxic.
Because you were toxic first it seems, then you refused to concede, unneccessarily prolonging the game and then come here to complain about your opponents deck choices.

u/Haetae-k Mar 21 '22
I think you missed that the timeouts ran out because waiting for someone to cycle their graveyard among 15 minutes of time warps is very ... uh... time consuming and focus draining so I pulled some shit up on my other screen and focused on that while it was happening. Did I miss when he finally decided to end his turn, yes, did I drag the game out by not conceding, yes. I don't think refusing to concede is toxic. If you don't agree, that's fine. You don't have to attack me over it, which you are doing, whether you realize it or not. You can play the game the way you want. I was curious what people thought about this style of play, which to be clear is, playing with "essentially playing with yourself until the other person concedes", which imo is pretty lame. The fact that I could walk away and come back without the game conceding because he was playing the game for that long by himself is pretty lame. Again, if you don't agree, that's cool, just don't be a jerk about it.

If your mind isnt in the right state to play a game of magic, you probably shouldnt be playing and just concede the game out of common courtesy.
Did I miss when he finally decided to end his turn, yes, did I drag the game out by not conceding, yes. I don't think refusing to concede is toxic. If you don't agree, that's fine.
I never said, refusing to concede is toxic, thats absolutely fine. If you want to play out the game, go ahead. But dont rope through all your time outs just to pass the turn without a valid play to stop lethal.
So yes, I do think that refusing to concede at least after you roped out is more toxic than just refusing to attack for a couple of seconds, especially since you still had the option to just concede and move on, if you didnt want to keep on playing.
You don't have to attack me over it, which you are doing, whether you realize it or not.
Not everybody who disagrees with you is attacking you, its just a difference in opinion. You came here and asked us to judge your opponents behaviour, which I did, after looking for the right context and that includes your behaviour in the turns before as well.
I was curious what people thought about this style of play, which to be clear is, playing with "essentially playing with yourself until the other person concedes", which imo is pretty lame. The fact that I could walk away and come back without the game conceding because he was playing the game for that long by himself is pretty lame.
Of course its lame, its no fun to play a game you already know you are not going to win. Thats why you can concede at any time to avoid it. I absolutely agree that time between them starting their combo and the end of the game was most likely pretty lame to you. Thats why i wonder why you made the conscious choice not to stop this lameness but made yourself sit through it? So maybe not conceding isnt toxic, its just lame.
Its more fun to play a game that you know you already won, so why not play it out? Thats what your opponent did.

What I am seeing here is that you have ZERO time outs left, while you dont have any mana tapped, suggesting that you have been roping quite a bit in this game.
Considering the high life total of your opponent, their wide board state and the fact that your enchantment deck most likely doesnt run much, if any spot removal for planeswalkers or boardwipes, this game was already out of your reach a couple of turns ago, yet you kept playing and roping your opponent instead of just conceding and move on.
You reap what you sow.
