The Right Way To Sell Mages

[Manchot999]

Okay.

So you might think that this is a useless / strange guide, but the reason I'm posting this is because I've seen far too many people that don't understand how to convince new players to sell their mage / poison / ice (and rarely, quake) towers. This is what usually happens:

Player1: SELL THAT MAGE NOOB
NewPlayer: (no answer)

Remember that vote kicking is a last resort option. It creates unnecessary tension.

By using the following strategy, I get around a 50% success rate.

First of all, tell them kindly to sell their mage tower. "(name here), please sell this mage tower, since they don't stack with each other."

If that doesn't work, then maybe they just didn't notice it. Repeat one more time, but with a more eye-catching approach.

"(name here)"
"Can you sell this mage right here I'm standing on?"
"They don't stack"
"Please"

Since a lot of stuff is popping up in chat, they might notice it. If that didn't work, you either got no answer or they said no.

If there was no answer:

Say the following:

"(name here) nl? francais? italiano? deutsch? espanol? english?" (Cubecraft doesn't let you use special characters)

Also pay attention to their username, it might give a clue to what language they are speaking. Most of the time they don't answer or say a language. Ask if anyone on your team can speak their language, or if anyone on the opposite team can.

As a little bonus for you, here's how to say "please sell your mage tower, they don't stack" in French:

"Peux-tu vendre ce mage stp? Ils ne marchent pas bien ensemble" (stp is short for please)

If they didn't answer or said no, then they are either trolling you or they have their chat off.

A last resort technique that sometimes work is to punch them with your sword to get their attention, build and sell an archer, punch them again, and punch the mage tower. They sometimes understand.

If they are trolling you then try to vote kick them, or just let it be.

Never ever insult your teammates. Don't forget to thank them if they did what you asked.

I hope this was helpful to you. If by any chance you know how to tell someone to sell a mage / ice / poison / quake tower in another language, please post it in the comments, it will be useful to me and to the other visitors of this thread. I am mostly looking for the NL version.

Happy defending!

I usually do 2 warnings (most should be able to understand basic English) and a friendly tip before the match.

Before match: Just a reminder: mages/ice/quake/poison do not stack.

If I see a player do it, then I do what you said above where I ask the person to sell them after giving them a second reminder. Third reminder is the last one and fourth turns into a votekick.

Votekick never works.

Votekick never works.

Unless you have a friend to help you with that.

Good idea but, what language is deutch?

That's German (for Germany players).

That's German (for Germany players).

then it would be deutsch. Its a special pronounciation(i am german)

Standard approach (steps can be different depending on variables like friends in team an mood)

- [name] please dont stack mages
- [name] sell mage please
- [name] please dont stack mages! (Same text is not allowed by spamfilter)
- [name] sell mage please!
- [name] 1st mage deals fire then no more fire can be dealt until troops are not on fire anymore

If the towers are not on strategic positions (castle, spawn) and not obstructing my tower income --> 'Let it go'
else:

- [name] please dont stack mages!!
- [name] sell mage please!!
- [name] 1st mage deals fire then no more fire can be dealt until troops are not on fire anymore!!
- [name]
- [name] Hello?
- [name] Language country?
- [name] Speaky speaky English?
- [name] 2 (3-20) mages :-( 1 mage :-)
- votekick [name]
- Please do: /votekick yes
- Guy is ruining defence (and my income)

* 1 minute later:

- Who did not vote?
- Please do: /votekick yes
- votekick [name]
- Please do: /votekick yes

* 1 minute later
--- Mental note to try to kick the player(s) that didn't vote when one leaves
- [name] Insulting (Guy doesn't react, so will never give you the 3 warnings needed for a ban)
(repeat as long as you feel to)

* 3 minutes later
--- 'Sigh'
--- Give up insulting
--- Focus on game again, trying to catch up on lost goldmine efficiency.



* 15 minutes later, next game
- [name] please don't stack mages
- votekick [name]

Unless you have a friend to help you with that.

All it takes for votekick to fail is a single person (not counting the guy getting kicked) on your team not voting.

- [name] Insulting (Guy doesn't react, so will never give you the 3 warnings needed for a ban)
(repeat as long as you feel to)

Told you the current warning system is broken.

Unless you have a friend to help you with that.

I had 3 friends and it still didn't work out due to insufficient votes.

I had 3 friends and it still didn't work out due to insufficient votes.

How many people on your team (not counting guy that was getting kicked) didn't vote?

Great guide! It will help everyone communicate with one another without being rood, or yelling at one another. This will help keep a civilized community.
