@GnocchiPup that is a cool story, however according to your profile your longest losing streak was only 28 games (sorry, not stalking, but I wanted to know who five-fold adopted you).

> To clarify, @Toscani's point is most aligned with my own: if someone beats me and then offers a rematch it feels like bad manners to me because it's as if they're saying 'ha I just beat you, want some more?' or implying that they want to replay again because I'm a weak player and I usually think 'you just beat me why would I want to play against you again?' It's clear from this thread that that's an unpopular opinion and clearly my interpretation that it's bad manners isn't common so a platform wide change such as what I suggested in my first post would be over the top but I don't think it would be so crazy to allow players the option to turn off rematch requests.
Well, the thing is you can't know what are your opponent's intentions, and as such, you shouldn't assume it's negative intentions. Maybe they are indeed doing it out of bad manners, but maybe they genuinely enjoyed the game with you and think you are an interesting player. Or maybe they are being fair play and want to give you a chance of winning the rematch. Maybe out of principle they always play for best of three. Or maybe they think you would feel humiliated to ask for a rematch so they offer it themselves to save you the humiliation. You really can't know what's going on in someone else's head, and especially online.

It's casual. If I'm right, casual doesn't count.
If I'm wrong, maybe my brain forgot my lucky draws so it felt like 50 straight losses. I think it's sexygal, and someone else. I know at least 2 guys are like that in bullet casual. They just keep on beating me up.

Now that I'm thinking about it more, I want to remember who the other guy is. Maybe I'll setup my range to +500 so that I can be paired up against him soon.
Sexygal, I have checked. Our match history looks rather sad. For me. Even at my peak bullet days, treated me like a ragdoll.

Why? Think of it as you are 'offering' a rematch. Seems polite to me. Very common etiquette in real life too.
