maybe lack could put a little green button next to your name when its your turn....oh wait...

it happens so infrequently i think that its one of those things you have to chalk up to random luck, and when you get it, just be happy

if i meant for you all to know, i would have told you.

ok, once and for all: the dice are RANDOMIZED, if they "suck" for a few turns, then sooner or later they will work in your favor. there is no need to complain or feel happy, because sooner or later you will feel the opposite.

well if he's being a jerk i vote that you kill him off, if you win he'll still get points anyway. And you cant let your opponent get the cards anyway

I think having something like that is a pretty cool idea, but I see Marv's point about the unfairness of it. Maybe you could split it into the twin cites Ankh and Morpork. That way you could have the bonus but it might not neccesarily be given to the player who had the best luck starting. Do you ...

OHH!!!! SNAP! someone got caught with their pants down around their ankles! hehehehe!

well god damn it! i rather liked the old, "i started the game thus i shall go first in the game" way of things. but hey, who cares about me?

I'm sorry if this topic has been discussed on another thread, i have not been able to find it if that is the case. In several of my sequential games that i have started the order appears to be random. I know this was a possibility that people brought up but i was unaware that it had been put into ...

I like the idea, but it seems to me that four "continents" might be too few, is there any way to break them up into 6ish?

basically i have an immense ego

Here is my 2 cents on why I think we should use the 1999 rule set.
If you use the 1975 rules and are playing an escalating card value and a person can cash in 2 sets of cards back to back that person is going to have an extremly high amount of armies to use and will most likely win the game.

But ...

By now over 5000 games have been played since it was started, will anyone else ever join?

I can understand the frustration of not being able to comprehend what they are saying, but i do not think we should disriminate against them for using a skill/ability we dont all possess, how is that their fault? besides, how could it be enforced?

definitly a good map, i agree that more territories should be added, but this is much better than some of the random crap that comes through here.

true, but they need to have been active in some way in the last 5 minutes to show up there

you guys (and girls ) crack me up. this is the bloody MAP FOUNDRY not the "im a guy who wishes to get his balls ripped off and given to him as a birthday present" forum Pedronicus, so i advise you to be careful about bashing women. in my experience they tend to bash back.

wow, besides the fact that that is sad/lame, i vote it should be a female

I prefer the first one more. I think it would benefit from having the borders between countries thickened or something to make them more prominent

in all fairness, the now majors didnt have Lts. or majors do play against when they started. But again, the way the scoring system works, someone with 2000 points runs big RISK of losing around 30 to 50 points if they play people with 1000 point scores.

max is gr8 wrote:It doesn't annoy the people who do it

that's the dumbest thing ever. of course it doesn't annoy those people, but if they are going to lose, why do they have to be an ass about it and not end the turn? to be spiteful? if so that is very very lame

i fully agree. I think that having the option for turn length will drastically cut down on deadbeats and i think it will enhance game play in general

I like it, i agree that the continents on the outside should have more distinct colors, but I like the ocean and the general feel of it.

I know we have already talked a lot about deadbeats and whether or not those of us who stay in should be able to get point from them and that the general concensus is that we shouldn't because we didnt do anything to beat them. Well i am sick of people joining games and then not doing anything else ...

yeah, ive thought they might be doubles too since they always play together. but the tims stamps on their movements show they most likely are not the same person
