Good game, ikkewij!

Bring it on, ikkewij (in the most gentlemanly way as possible, of course).

Add me, please.

Oh, here's a question:

How do secret diplomacy rules apply to a tournament such as this? We aren't strictly on a team, the only thing it really affects is if a death eliminates a player (i.e. we still get points from our teammates demise).

I assume they still apply normally (i.e. everything in ...

Sure, I'm in.

It seems my opponent has dropped the invitation, Game 9106466

I'd suggest actually recording all your dice, to see if you actually are getting worse dice than normal. You might only be noticing the unusually bad rolls, as opposed to the "probable" rolls and unusually good ones.

I've considered it, but I've never seen it used. Honestly, if a decently ranked player tried that on me, he'd see his threat called. It will cost him more points in the long run than he'll gain.

Remember that the expected win percentage is different for games with different number of players. 50% for 1v1s, 12.5% for 8 player games.

If everyone were to always play game with the same number of players, you might be right. But here rank implies a consistent ability to win, while also ...

Exact numbers is just as okay as any other information shared.

If you're concerned, always put a question at the START of the game about it, polling people. Don't do it midway through, people will assume you have a reason to ask, and asking alone can provide them with information.

You can't backstab when there's only two of you, it's a direct 1 on 1 confrontation! I'd abide by the truce you've already established. When there's multiple players, diplomacy is alright, but with two players left, bash face, always bash face. Unless you're in a game where stacking is more ...

Yeah, killing blue after red weakened him so much was the correct move. At this point, its just two players left, why would you offer truces? It's time to bash face.

Also, a tip (which may or may not be helpful).

Note that your agreement involves only the African BORDER. Which means that you can knock out red in Europe, then use your extra troops into the Naval Superiority, and blast away 5 countries not on the border, and therefore his South Africa bonus ...

It's fully permitted within the rules.

Some players don't like it, and some are fine with it. It's a gray area in terms of whether or not you'll piss someone off, but you can totally do it if you like.

I'm SO in!

Pfft, these guys are all wrong. You can't improve your dice, they are always always always stacked against you and you alone. Your dice suck, and are streakier than everyone elses and they aren't random at all.

This is why I'm so good, because I paid CC for secret extra dice, rather than the mere ...

CTF War of the Triple Alliance, looks like it's still open. But anything else is fine if that's full (ideally one of the WWII ones).

What sort of schedule can we except in terms of how long it takes for the next game to get sent out?
