I find myself in a situation. Where I have a large incampment. If you will accect that. At one time I was leading the game. Albeit, another play who was losing. Decided to to go all out and loosen my grip on the game. The game in NO CARDS. I have been attacked by all players at this point.
As I ...

i think the staff and allot of high ranked payers, would like ALL players to play exactly the same with the same strategy and outcome and they feel anyone who plays for any different reasons then them are stupid and that they are breaking "unwritten rules" and deserve to be banned or shunned ...

how about The White Dice Knights.

beware attacking me, mine have a permanent yellow glow

can some kind person pm me the usual password plz

could someone send me the normal password plz

I do like Flat and no cards for variety but I just find the "end game" too difficult. They all too often just turn into stalemates. At some point you have to take on 2 or more players at once to win a standard game which I find almost impossible to do without escalating cards.

Maybe Flat rate ...

I will play for the English

It is a subject that is brought up regularly. Not everyone plays the scoreboard game. Some players just want to play a fun game and not have it be ruined by a suicider.

I know we are all enemies and we are supposed to attack and defeat each other but it is one thing to eliminate someone when your ...

Meh. I'm not saying taht escalating games require no strategy, it's just such a different strategy that I'm used to playing. I hate escalating games BECAUSE of the required strategy. I can't wrap my head around it

At least I have the intelligence to avoid them. If people don't like escalating ...

Those that dismiss escalating as a mostly luck based game probably don't understand the strategies behind it. I don't think it is being offensive to point this out.

In 6 player escalating games map bonuses don't matter much at all as card bonuses quickly become worth far more. The less players ...

Escalating does seem like a high luck game and a bit random in Public games because it is. In those games players don't know what they are doing and are handing the game to someone else.

Play escalating against good players who do know what they are doing and you will learn that it is a very ...

In games that have an element of chance in them you have got to learn to deal with runs of bad luck. They will happen for as long as you play the game. It's an easy thing to say but it is a very hard thing to do!

Ways that help me to deal with bad luck

1 Remind yourself that short term ...

no cards and flat rate just lead to build games. The game mechanic just doesn't work. There isn't enough incentive in these games to attack as your only weakening yourself and the player you attack and helping everyone else.

Escalating is the proper game of risk and is the only one that avoids ...

Thanks Aerial. I didn't know about the bob error. His bonuses were broken before he could receive them.

I wouldn't mind the high bonuses if you had to fight to get them first. A high bonus map would probably make the game better to play, but when some players get 11-12 reinforcements at the start while others get 3-4 it just makes the luck of the drop too important.

Oh and the plane bonuses stack ...

I have to agree with some of the other comments made here about the bonus's. They are too generous and easy to attain from the start.

I have played 2 games on this map so far. One a six player standard and the other a 5 player standard and in both games there have been players deploying 10-11 ...

Actually I would be against Pearl for a different reason. The easy to attain and very generous bonus's that the first player is sure to have on his opening turn would make going first an almost certain victory.

What your displaying now Hatchman is classic tilting. An irrational reaction to bad luck can lead to irrational plays and it's probably this that is holding you back and not the dice.

If the dice were waited unfairly towards the defensive dice as I assume your claiming (no one has ever come on ...

back to escalating for me.

Those graphs are just 1 snapshot in time. Although the theories being offered as to why there seems to be a barrier at 2100-2200 are interesting we really can't read much into it without further samples over time.

Just because only 17 high ranked players have joined YOUR standard sequential games doesn't mean there are only 17 who play those games.

Those games are pretty much all I play and I am not on your list.

When I make games (which is most of the time) I make them as 6 player standard seq and ...
