Really? This dude can turtle and not do anything but waste time and he get rewarded for it? If I do not get the win for this game, and ended up wasting half my day because of this moron, ill be done w scw.. Give me a reason to quit this game. Ppl like fainer are what ruin it. Some bum who thinks he's something special.
If you really do quit, that will be sad and people would miss you. But that doesn't change the rules and their need to be applied fairly in all cases regardless of what emotions you or I may have regarding a particular case. The fact is, in order to be credited with points, you need to eliminate the other player, or have them concede. Neither of the two happened in this game. The fact that you had map control and took his main will not award you points if you can not use those things to end the game. Otherwise, people would play to get the other person's main and forget about the actual game. Now that would be strange wouldn't it?
An AV is an acceptable result in a game like this. You are not entitled the win just because
he can't beat you. Some games are just going to end up a draw. You had the option to AV throughout the entire game, but you decided to keep playing. It's not just because of drawn out games where people turtle like this. You can have a case where neither player can possibly kill the other because both have lost their base and income... consider a case where a protoss only has zealots and pylons left, vs a Terran with floating buildings. Nobody is entitled for the win here either. This is not an imaginary case, we have actually seen this exact case in a tournament before (GanGsTeR]JoSe. vs Xtre-Mamba). The game was decided a draw and both players moved on.
This is an ugly situation, and I understand your frustration with not getting any points out of it. But if you really are spending time on this game and website in order to increase a numerical value in a database, then you are playing for the wrong reasons. I play to have fun and to get better with every game I play. A 5.5 hour long game will get you a lot of valuable experience that will stay with you forever. Its not just a cliche, every game you play, the practice will make you stronger and faster next time, even if you don't recognize it. Next time you are in a similar situation I'm betting you will do much better. That's not expected to make the shitty situation go away completely, but its a better way of looking at it.
