click "indicators" to the right to get rid of the site ones. the clickey ones don't go away, I don't think.

So are Tiddlywinks and Shoots & Ladders.

Don't forget hopscotch.

Hop scotch takes balance, which means it takes skill for little kids. Speed freestyle is down to best drop, fastest with clickies, and, worst of all, fastest internet. I've never seen somebody win with dial up. That's why they are so addictive. Woodruff is just butt hurt that his PFC skillz aren't great enough to be a master of luck.

Don't forget you need a mouse, people who use the touchpad like me would therefore be screwed.

Hmm, I wonder if it would be fun to play freestyle with a pen tablet.

touch screen! oh yeah! I've got an ipad... in my dreams.
yeah, it'd be kinda hard to play speed with a touch pad. Although HP's touchpad is pretty cool and handy.

Multi touch... hm, you can get very fast with iPad I presume.

by **natty dread** on Mon Apr 11, 2011 4:54 pm

Ok, I just tried playing a turn with my pen tablet... with the pen, not the touch function. It wasn't very convenient. I misdeployed in Baltia.

by **shieldgenerator7** on Mon Apr 11, 2011 5:10 pm

yeah, with those pen tablets you've got to be accurate where you touch the screen.
Baltia? hmmm... on what map is that?

Would have been funnier if you had cashed for 100+ and accidentally dropped in Alcatraz.

I will have to say personally having a VERY slow internet connection that of course it makes a difference. I literally don't see moves for several seconds after they happen. I have decided therefore that no one is going to get my points just because they have faster internet. If you want to get them you have to do it the old fashioned way

. This game is based on a very popular board game. Could you imagine a speed game on the real deal? Pieces flying everywhere, shoving, etc... It aint right in rl and it aint right on here.

"Ooh Daddy, I want that very fast computer for my room with the lighting fast internet so I can be better at CC!".............LAME!

by **shieldgenerator7** on Wed Apr 13, 2011 8:55 am

good point. real life risk takes much longer to play because you have to manually move the pieces, but it's fun to actually see your opponent. And when you play rl, you play real time because no one's gonna make someone sit around for a hours to take their turn when they're right there. Electronic version is so much different.
