I’m looking for student photographers who are taking graduation photo bookings. I figured there are probably other people in here looking too, so it might be helpful to make a post!
I just got out of a game and I’m still annoyed so I need opinions 😭
Everything was going normal until I got Largest Army and jumped to 6 points, but everyone else was still close so it’s not like I was running away with it.
Then one player starts telling the other two what to do to go for Longest Road so I wouldn’t get it. The thing is… Longest Road wasn’t even on my radar. I was literally boxed into a corner with no realistic way to even get it anytime soon. I had a completely different plan for my next few turns.
Anyways, the other player listens, gets Longest Road takes the lead by like 2-3 points and the same person who was orchestrating that then blocks one of my hexes and steals from me.
So I move the robber right back onto them and steal same exact thing they did to me. Then he says I'm “being salty”???
Then they go “focus on someone else, they’re winning,” which is wild because… they literally just told that person to get Longest Road and put them in the lead 😭
They also accused me of lying about not going for Longest Road, which made zero sense because I physically didn’t even have the board position to do that.
I said something like “it’s not fun when one person is trying to orchestrate the whole game,” and after that it basically turned into a 2v1 in chat. This person and another color (that wasn't in the lead) started calling me childish and a bunch of other. It completely killed the vibe.
What really got me is they kept placing the robber on me after that, but when I did it back it was suddenly a problem??
At that point I lowkey just wanted someone else to win because the game wasn’t even fun anymore.
So I’m curious...
Is this just normal Catan politics, or do y’all also find it annoying when one person tries to control how everyone else plays (especially when their logic doesn’t even add up)?
