Do you guys think fairness is important for games, or is it more important to win by any means necessary outside of cheating?
Like, is a victory hollow in chess if, for example, you castle without your opponent knowing what that move even is? Are you obliged to either dumb yourself down to their level or bring them up?
Fairness is important. So is reading instruction manuals so that you know the basic functions of the game.
Easton Howard
If you start on even ground you have no obligation to explain mechanics you deduced independently But it's kind of a dick move
Lincoln Parker
Not really. Only if you decline to tell them when asked. You should remain silent until questioned to promote critical thinking.
Kevin King
He did ask
Easton Phillips
It's all contextual. If you're in a chess tournament it's a reasonable assumption that your opponent knows about castling. If you're playing with someone completely new then you should probably explain things if you want them to keep playing with you.
Nathaniel Morgan
Jon was so obviously in the wrong. If you think otherwise you're a fucking retard and anyone who you think is your friend actually hates you. Fuck you.
Parker Moore
Arin was right
Gavin Baker
Fuck off Arin
Sebastian Butler
This. But of course 95% of people in this thread don’t have good friend relationships as well as have a hate boner for Arin
Luke Ward
Shut the fuck up.
Matthew Lewis
If the contest is for fun then you should share information.
James Myers
They both started at the same level. Arin is retarded so Jon learned faster and won. Jon was the better player and Arin's anger was unjustified.
Daily reminder that Arin and Danny are both backstabbing snakes.
Sebastian Hernandez
They don’t want Jon on after he shouted out /pol/ facts irl. How is that backstabbing?
Noah Phillips
Arin fuck off, let it go.
Tyler King
If they were truly friends then that wouldn't matter. Not everyone is a faggot like you. Arin just cares about money.
Lucas Lewis
>Start evenly >Figure something out before your opponent >Are supposed to immediately tell this to him Arin is a retard
Blake Jackson
If you are playing chess against someone that doesn't know how to castle either teach them after you do it so they can, or you are just a scrub that can't play actual skilled players that know the game.
Blake Gonzalez
Breaking rule 1 and 2 are valid reasons to end a friendship.
William Cooper
>Hey, uhhh, black people are burning cities over and over and trying to violently assault white people on the streets. Our media and law enforcement are turning a blind eye to this. Can we like, make this stop? >FUCKING /pol/TARDS! REEEEE!
Levi Myers
If I was Jon, I would have told Arin. But when Arin brought up the concept of "equal terms", that's when he went full retard. In any competitive situation, it's up to the competitors to use their own wit to overcome the opponent. If your opponent is struggling, you're not obligated to help them. Arin is acting like you are.
Luke Anderson
If your opponent is making a mistake, never stop them Jon did the right thing, if this wasn't a competition and instead was a cooperative game then Jon should have told Arin If you don't know what you're doing then don't compete >Arin's little bitchfit cry more Arintards
Jaxson Hernandez
Not knowing what the controls are is a facet of literally every Game Grumps episode Arin complaining about not knowing the controls when he explicitly chooses to go about their business in this way is intensely hypocritical It would have been nice of Jon to tell Arin, but he was certainly under no obligation to do so
