Riddle me this, good sirs.True, you scooped the final round of swiss Sunday to a perfect stranger I believe? :wink:
What was that about people only scooping to their friends?

Alright, enough of the "It's moral." and "It's not moral."
Obviously, this is a thread of opinions. Nobody has any right to objectively say, without any backup or explanation, that it is or is not.
I'm all for people continuing to express opinions, so long as they back it up/give reasons. If you just state an opinion without any reasoning, you're not adding anything to the conversation and your post will be treated as such.
Now then, as you were
let's take out the social interaction of the game, one of the key parts that makes it fun. That will go over REALLY well.
However, when you are playing a stranger in the last round of swiss, scooping to him definitely makes no sense. Why reward one stranger by conceding to him and then punish another who then bubbles the Cut? In that case, you should simply play and let wins & losses decide who gets in.
Only sith deal in absolutes.This reminds me of people dropping after their byes at Nationals to preserve their worlds ratings for invites. A totally unwarrented, disruptive action that had a negative effect on the overall environment and richness of the game. Before you go all HAHA POKEMEDIC NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS; the move to the CP system was brought about in large part because of that behavior.
Since this PokeGym I'm going to go out on a limb to say this: if you scoop for someone you are a push-over and have no self-respect -don't care how good the other person is, don't care if you want them to make top-cut, don't care if you think you're going to lose, don't care about bad match-ups, no matter how you justified it you let yourself get pushed aside. Hey, why don't you justify trying to play the game. It's easier to pick up your cards and LOL SCOOP'D but you can't follow through on the game? If you didn't want any of those above things to happen, you should have stayed home, sir. Or ma'am.
