Re: Is it illegal to intentionally NOT get a card/spoil ?

I knew I'd seen this thread somewhere!

I'm of the opinion that it is not in the spirit of the game. As Herbas and Viceroy63 said, in real life there'd be no option to not take a card, and indeed as Crazy Frog says it slows the game down. I've just suffered a round with 30% no-shows and now I've got ...

Re: Game awaiting players - only spots 3, 4 and 6 assigned!?

What about this one then?

Game 13934366

So someone drops out of a game and those now vacant slots are left till the end? :? Otherwise how else do we explain the final slot having been filled and yet there still being slots available? :? How come the game I was invited to didn't work like this? :?

Re: Game awaiting players - only spots 3, 4 and 6 assigned!?

Incidentally, the game that I created and was the green player on was way back near the end of the seven figure game-number days. Game 9968930 from October 2011 to be precise!

Re: Game awaiting players - only spots 3, 4 and 6 assigned!?

No, if you decline an invite or drop a game, that slot is vacant .

I'm not sure how that can be true. I was invited to Game 13907874. Me and three others declined. I assure you our invite slots were not the last slots on that game. As one by one the invites were declined, everyone including ...

Re: Game awaiting players - only spots 3, 4 and 6 assigned!?

Thanks for the reply.

I did think of that, but once when I accidentally dropped out of a game I'd created, the other player who'd joined got the red spot and I was left with green. This was a few years ago so things might have changed.

However I've noticed that once people decline a game invite ...

Re: Zombie Spoils and Cards

I'm sure you'll find that providing the number of players x5 = less than the number of board territories , then no-one can have the same spoil twice.

In other words on Classic, in anything up to 8 players you'll be fine. If everyone's built up 5 spoils in 9 player however, then three territories ...

Re: [Limited Edition] Christmas Map



1) there are one-way arrows on top of the gifts.
2) it does say it will reset? seems clear enough.
3) it is explained in the general rules that you can attack through killer neutrals in trench games.

1) Yes, but it's easy to believe the arrows are there to help you find the gift on the tree ...

Re: [Limited Edition] Christmas Map



Well, then that goes back to jonofperu's original post, and it should be indicated as such on the map.

I agree. Referring to holding "any" five is clearly misleading.

Instead of changing the wording, you could change the pictures - so polaris could be changed to a fairy, or the other stars ...

Re: How to Participate in 6th Anniversary Battle Royales

How are colour codes assigned? I finished up with the colluseum open on the desktop PC and my laptop and if you take the winner he was 'a' on the laptop and 'aw' on the dektop, while the runner up was 'd' or 'af'. I just wondered why this was?

Re: How to Participate in 6th Anniversary Battle Royales

I've never played a speed game, and only played freestyle twice! I think speed is definitely the best way to play freestyle though - unless you can commit to taking a turn anytime of day!

Re: How to Participate in 6th Anniversary Battle Royales

Put one with Nuclear in there!!

Also, will be getting any standard instead of just speed?

I love nuclear... but not so much on the bigger maps!

24 hour turns also gets my votes. It might keep me on the site, too - I'm thinking of going back into retirement (which is why I've only got two games ...

it's 10 to midnight here and if one doesn't start soon I won't get a chance

the games will be made until midnight CC time not your time. that means another 5 houts and 7 minutes.
so if you can stay up you will have plenty more chances to join a BR

Re: How to Participate in 6th Anniversary Battle Royales

Am I right in understanding there'll be another colluseum game as soon as the current one has ended (from what I was reading about 90 minutes ago)!

I'd really like to play on this map. It's 10 to midnight here and if one doesn't start soon I won't get a chance
