Hey... silly!?
Prepare for a horse drawn carriage ride in the park, under the stars. As our eyes probe nervously for shared yearning, the driver winds down the rocky path bathed in silvery, glistening moonlight, carriage bouncing along each stone, arousing thoughts of what might be to come. The hoof-steps clatter like their pounding hearts, as the the trail leads towards the shadowed woods.
The scent of the Maple drawn up by the effervescence of the Champagne, the carriage moving swifter and swifter along to it's inevitable conclusion.

The man thinks how beautiful she looks in her CC T-shirt and matching cap, and she thinks how handsome he looks in his stylish dungarees and I love Frasier Sweat-top. They gaze at each other, and drink in one anothers eyes as they sip the Champangne and dare to dream of what is coming. The driver stops the Carriage as the ardor of the moment is at it's peak! The air becomes still as the evenings climax draws near and romance bathed moonlight dances about her eager lips.
Followed by a quick game of 2 man Classic speed -Risk and the most intense minute and a half you will ever experience!

but if there is pre-registration, youll prolly have the same problem, you'll just miss pre-registration by an hour instead... pre-registration would fill up just as quickly as the game would anyway......

Exactly. Pretty much everyone who knows what a battle royale is would like to play in it. It doesn't matter if theres a pre registration or normal game signup, either way tons of people are going to be left out.

The only more fair way I can think of doing it would be excluding people who were in previous battle royales so that everyone gets a chance eventually. Or maybe not letting them sign up for the first 30 minutes or so. But no matter how you do it people are going to be left out. A free for all sign up (as in the past) is probably the best.

I don't really get the whole attraction; doesn't it come down to a few players after the first turn anyway? Most people won't even get a chance to play.

it's all about the mirage of easy points. a person can theoretically jump from sargeant to major in one game.

plus if you are right o the spot and act fast you could drop near a captain or something bigger and eliminate him thus getting more points than when you are eliminated.

how does a BR game even work? i understand that everybody only gets like 1 country to start out with, but how would you tell whose armies are whose?? i'm pretty sure there aren't enough colors to go around. also, do these games take months or what? with 75+ (just a guess) players in one game, wouldn't it takes forever for somebody to win?? and if you have multiple deadbeats...

sorry if im asking stupid questions. just wondering!

well Ive never played in one but I think that the big thing is that most people have some greecemonkey script that can tell you what territorys you own. I think that your own armies might be a special color though.

But that would only work in a terminator game, right?

I think they will all be terminator after the 2nd one resulted in about 2000 points gain for gibbom

Have two battle royales (or more if needed), and have them on World 2.1

Two games would leave room for 226 people to sign up.

People could sign up for the chance to play a battle royale. Everyone who wants to join would submit their name over the period of, say, a week. Then when the deadline passes, 100 names (or however many people are going to play) are randomly selected from the list to play the game. We should make it so that only ranked players can submit their names (no n00bs). I think it should also be for premiums only, but that may just be me.
