Worried about quitting arena in fear of being bullied.
Me and one of the discord chat officers have recently had a dispute. I have hit him during my PO and he doesn't like it. His reason is because his PO is two hours after mine and that I should be hitting "outsiders" aka people who are not in the group chat instead of him. He told me that if I hit him again that he will hit me. I told the group leader and the group leader is on his side and told me that I need to change or else they'll kick me out of chat and gang up on me. So, I have been considering quitting chat but then that will just make me an "outsider" and I will get bullied either way. What should I do ?

thanks, but I run my ships arena and I would never say that to one of our guys nor do I have "outsiders" that we hit so that the group is always at the top and everyone else is beneath us. I just don't want to be in their group anymore. Tired of it but I am also FTP.
Why did you hit him was he your max jump?
For example in your case we would expect you to go around if that's possible by your means and you still have time. We would also expect you to tag the person so they can move out of the way. If one of these conditions is an emergency you can just do it. But if you are doing it this way all the time without any forewarning, that would cause a ruckus.
yes
I was within the rules to hit him. Rules state that I should not hit him unless no choice. He climbed from 13-8-4. I climbed from 12-8-4. I cannot beat the guy at 5 so I went for him. During my PO hour.
Terrible. This is called bullying.
Please read again.
That’s what I figured. Think of it like this, by you saving crystals by doing a max jump will possibly cause him to have to spend crystals in order to get his payout.
Hit enemies 1st, finished payouts 2nd. If someone is in your way ask them if they can move. If you don’t get a respond in 5 to 10 minutes then I would say you can hit them....but ask the shard chat if this would be ok beforehand.
Working together is better than your shard chat teaming up on you and knocking you back so far that your stuck spending more crystals than you would need to otherwise without a shard chat.
Avoiding payouts who haven’t collected yet is a courteous way of working together with your shard chat. Even if you do have to spend 50 crystals to refresh battles it’s still better than having to refresh multiple times because your shard chat will always target you and knock you back.
I’d apologize, say it won’t happen again and I’d follow the rules they make and work with them if I was you:
I personally avoid everyone who's reasonably close to pay-out, whether they're on the chat or not. It's just more efficient. It makes no difference in the total amount of attempts needed to reach top3 if i hit #8 with a max jump or just hit #9 because the player in #9 is nowhere near his pay-out.
Little dust ups and miscommunications happen all the time, especially as the chats become more inclusive. Overall, it's in your best interest to stay engaged with the chat. You might need to spend 50 crystals on a refresh that you could have 'max-pathed' every now and again, but it's well worth it in the long run. Especially if you have an overly-tribal shard chat.
Alternatively, this guy knows that there are people whose payouts are before his, and he's jumping into the top 5. Either he needs to wait (and particularly, when he's 13 and someone before him is 12, since it's the same max jump path), not take his max jumps, or understand he's going to get hit.
We have a rule that basically says "I can hit everyone in the hour before my payout". We have a list that shows upcoming payouts and if anyone thinks that parking in the middle of the road is a good idea they find out that it is not. Its as simple as that.
Tagging people, asking for permission, refresh to get around others ... this is just crap and a waste of time. The real problem in shard groups are the guys who think they have to stay in top 5 or top 10 all day and these guys are the most likely to complain.
Little tyrants ...
that's exactly what I was thinking
You are exactly right. He does stay in the top 10 all day except for recently because a lot of guys have been climbing. He told me that if I hit him again that "let's see who needs crystals more, a kraken or a ftp" meaning I am the ftp.
Unfortunately, having dealt with people like this, they're usually really sad guys who have no control over anything else in their lives, so they have to bully strangers on a mobile game in order to feel good about themselves. As such, you're unlikely to get through with reason or logic, but you could give it a shot anyway. Ask if there's some reason he can't get back to his desired position in two hours or if there's some other reason he doesn't want you to hit him. My guess is that the response will be something to the effect of "because I said so, shut up," but hey, I've been wrong before.
Your other options are appealing to other members of the chat about this crybaby behavior, or changing your payout so that it's further away from his.
I was kinda hoping that I could change my PO hour and go to a totally different arena shard but then I have to go through whole process of find the arena chat again and what if they are just as bad as my current chat ?
You don't change shards. Just the PO hour.
I'm just curious because i seems like something you definately shouldn't want to have.
"Now I'm afraid if I leave they will do the same to me and I'm afraid of being bullied."
Here is an observation: If you pick on outsiders and push them around to get ahead, YOU are part of the "bullies" already.
Here is a suggestion: Stop being a bully yourself. Quit your shard chat and make a better team and compete.
Ugh.
Did you tell this to the group leader as well? If you did, and he's still against you, disregarding, that you acted within the rules of the group, maybe it's time to either change the rules (since apparently they don't apply) or change the leadership (since it doesn't enforce the agreed rules, but instead it's own secret set of rules).
There are like 5 officers. I don't know. I ask the leader and he said it was because they help with some things.
I didn't the outsider. I couldn't hit him even if I wanted to. I run Traya and he has a fully maxed out New Hope team. Not even my New Hope team can keep up with him.
It's like an echo chamber.
He is an awesome guild leader in a pretty respectable 1 in terms of quality and leadership, and you seem like the calibur of person that would do great there. I jumped in and out of there twice in the past year. All of the officers are consistent, nice, and mature with Discord use.
Oh, and I am not recruiting I am not in that guild anymore. I just really appreciate how upstanding his guild is so don't mind helping get another valuable person for it.
