It's a direct analogy clearly showing the flaw in your logic, that's what it has to do with it.

The difference is that nobody chooses how tall they are, so people will always be at a disadvantage against someone a foot taller than them. Players do have a choice in whether they have clickable maps or not, so it is possible to overcome that disadvantage by choice.

No, you missed the analogy...the analogy was that a team could use tall people. That is the team's choice. Just as clickies are a choice.

so how about the teacher giving the test but while some students follow protocol and answer the questions 1 by 1 but fail to finish others auto answer all the questions from a pre prepared script and finish the whole test in 5 minutes. is that fair?

as for the basketball one , well who says the biggest team always wins, certainly not in my experience. im 5 11 and could easily run rings round the gangly 6 footer on the other team. as far as clickies is concerned i really have no chance.

just played someone with clickies as an experiment on arms race. i waited for the last 10 seconds to attack where i knew he was going but my attack didnt even register even though i saw his terrs taken 1st. still i managed to get up the missile and nuke him on the same go although he did get the mass deployment obviously because i had no chance of stopping him. we both wiped each other out hence telling me that i would have easily won without his advantage, but the game decided he won and gave him the points??? strange when it was a draw. did prove to me though that inferior players can win with clickies against superior players. oh and then he foed me because i waited 5 minutes on 1 go and told him he was outplayed and only won because of his use of clickies, that is a very sad man in my opinion. "KraphtOne" he just told me he foed me because he didnt like people bitching that after telling me i cant spell when i said honour lmao how ignorant.

Okay, I can work with that. Let's say that pre-prepared script was the notes they were allowed to bring to the test. Isn't it their own fault that they did not bring notes? This works the same if you don't change it to notes, because it is the same script. Notice how you use the word "prepared." Half the students prepared for the test, and the other half did not. Those that prepared finished. What is wrong with preparing for a test?

Now answer the ****ing spoils question. Why do you take spoils when they give an unfair advantage to those who do not know what they are?

He won for two reasons.

Firstly you begun turn. This same position has happened several times, and the game ends by someone deadbeating or beginning their turn, so had you not begun, the game would have gone on for a bit more.

Secondly, had you not begun your turn, you would have won because you ended your last turn after he did. You cost yourself that win by not missing an extra turn, next time, pick a better example of losing to someone because they used clickies and you didn't. Actually, I have a better idea, don't give another example at all since everyone knows playing without clickies against someone using them often costs you the game.

Do you believe that's what clickies is? Because that may be your whole problem, if it is...you don't understand what clickies are.

Again, the fix to your problem is simple...DON'T PLAY FREESTYLE. Problem solved. Hell, it's not REAL Risk(tm) anyway...everyone knows that.

I do seem to recall Andy saying that also.
