I've never tried it. Thanks for the recommendation! Sounds right up my alley.

Someone Machiavellian is sneaky, cunning, and lacking a moral code. The word comes from the Italian philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli, who wrote the political treatise The Prince in the 1500s, that encourages “the end justifies the means” behavior, especially among politicians.

Machiavellian ...

Hi All,

What i find most impressive is if you have been here 12 years (i assume from the above) and only 155 completed games. Do you take a daily pill to prevent the addiction? I need that pill.

I love the game of risk specifically for its diplomacy. If I'm being honest, a majority ...

Interesting isn't it. My guess is 12 years of free play while accusing people of cheating and wasting all your time :D
people have the right to inquire if they think something isn't right. that's the purpose of this forum. get over it.

That's nice but I see zero merit in this report. do you ...

- I'm less experienced than both of you, particularly in amount of games played as you pointed out
- None of the 3 accusations I've made in over a 12 year period were frivolous or done in bad faith. There were reasons, and the moderators acknowledged them if you actually read the posts
- The reasons ...

All very fair points. Especially on my username. I made it when I was a kid... when I really was an idiot.

I felt compelled to submit this because I felt at the time like it was probable something funny was going on. But the way you put it, I agree with you.

Fair enough then. Thank you.

So is no one going to address my issue?

Furthermore, I'm claiming that these two are acting as though they ought to cover up their tracks through, really, very odd cooperation with me. I feel as though only a guilty mind would conduct themslves this way.

As well, my point over the fact that I'm left only to coerce these two into attacking each other has been furthered with Blue's past turn: after I presented my case to them in the game chat, Blue decided to attack Yellow and call a border truce with me instead of eliminating me, which would have ...

Somethings fishy, I doubt that two inexperienced players themselves could get that far in a game by themselves against other players so many times. Just a thought.

Yeah, you're telling me. It can Only be that, as a seasoned major like myself should Never lose to such low rankers

...Bahaha ...

Well it looks like the charm of this idea has worn off

"2-3 years"... Wow

So what's the standard procedure for implementing new ideas such as this "high/low score" thought, anyways? Is there an "ideas" committee that discusses it, or perhaps it runs through a forum vote?

I do suppose you Could argue that the lowest rank feature won't be too surprising... the "highest" low score possible would be your default 1000 points.

So an example of this, possibly below the score, or under everything.

This is a good idea, especially the lowest score - I'm sick of being misled by a user's score, rank, and games won: those three factors fluctuate incredibly, and does no justice to reflect their actual game play. A mini-record tool such as this would be quite useful to dispose of that issue.

Not a bad change

We are the victim of our own greed. We want to win so bad we take the word of another that we have never met, seen, spoken too or know nothing about. We are the victim of our own greed.

Indeed. I'm just trying to tease the issue that its rewards parellel secret diplomacy, and so does it's level of deviancy. Manipulation outside of the game, in my opinion, just isn't acceptable, and it would be a shame for this one to get away considering I have the spotlight.

Haha trust me, I already pointed it out myself in the game chat of the game in question

This is an interesting issue though, eh?

Hello,

Thanks for reviewing my case, KS - It's appreciated.

As I've stated, I simply do not want this type of behaviour to happen again to anyone. It is unfair, and provides exact advantages as being a multi/secret diplomacy/ etc. which is why I've attempted to be vocal on the severity of the ...

Well, as said in the thread, if you start a City Mogul game first, you win 80% of the time.

But, i truly don't think that CC wants to go to such extremes for something like this. I do get where you are coming from, this was a real low trick to win the game. He lied, so you gave him a chance to ...
