TO ALL NEW RECRUITS / NEW PLAYERS....beware of a player that goes by the name of "General Cornrow".
This player just loves to join games that has nothing but recruits or privates in the game so that he can amass points by beating you.
His current rank is Captain, and it seems that 75 % of the games he has been in so far have been against lower ranking opponents.
If you get eliminated by a higher ranking opponent in 7 or 8 rounds, how do you expect to be able to properly learn tactic, defense and strategy?
I don't care if I am kicked off the site for, I won't be playing another game here after the only one of four I started is over with, and the same thing happened to me in that game, only it wasn't Cornrow that screwed me.

So you're leaving the site because this player made you feel unwelcome?
We have plenty of great AND helpful players around here...I'm sure some experienced players would be willing to give you a few tips. And you can always join games that only need an additional player so you know who's in it before it starts.

Frankly, he has more to lose. I totally understand the majors, colonels, and generals that only play with higher ranks. Granted, I don't seem to have that problem 
but I understand the mindset.
Unless you're in private games, you are pretty much putting out the welcome mat to anyone. I like playing with higher ranked folks because I just might learn something.
That's my $.02 and worth every bit you paid for it.

Guys (and any of you ladies out there that read this),
I must apologize for the comments of my nephew.
Although I agree with the fact that "is it fair for higher ranking players to join a game started by a private or ?" his comments were totally uncalled for.
I tried to handle the problem diplomatically, by contacting lackattack and then posting my own forum thread, but it seems he had a little to much fun after a high school playoff football game and got carried away when he got back to my house.
I've just spent the last hour reconfiguring my home computor to delete his loggin code abd change things so he can't use my computor to blast anyone, or complete any games he is currently in.
I agree that lack and the modsquad have done a fabulous job of setting up this site, and I know that not everyone is going to be happy with the way others play the game or will agree with all of the rules, etc., but hey, it is only a game to have fun with.
I thought I had taught him better when it came to sportsmanship, but looks like I fell short.
Again, I appologize.

I would have thought that was the best way to learn how to play better actually! To be honest I never pay much attention to the ranks of the people I play with, I like the idea of playing 'risk' with a random bunch of human opponents.
