Go to Flame Wars. He doesn't like people making fun of him, and he stays there. Talk about Stubborn.

When I signed up I thought it was risqué, only later I realized it was Risk. :wink:

I play CC, i have never actually played the board game RISK, so when i first joined i went through a pretty steep learning curve. (meaning i lost nearly all of my first 60 games or so :cry:

I play RISK for the chicks. Women get all wet when they see me rolling virtual dice and dreaming of world domination.

Well, that and the fact that I get a thrill out of putting my strategic abilities to the test against others from around the world...

Those with physical prowess like playing physical games like football to prove their skills and abilities. Those with mental prowess like playing mental games like risk to prove their skills and abilities.

This game is a good example. 20+rounds of pure beatings on both sides. on day I'm up the other day my opponents are. The game is so even that we are all constantly finding new directions to attack from, trying to regain territory while boosting defenses elsewhere. on a related matter can anyone think of a better strategy for me? :wink:

this is so going in my sig, can i? plz ak-ice_man?

generally speaking, risk is just a fun game that makes u use ur brain and as well as testes ur strategic planning and diplomacy skills. in real lefe, would any of us really be able to control little armies that will follow our evry command and whims? i think not, and even if they would, most of us wouldnt be able to afford it lol

i mean really, who doesnt enjoy sending sending a massive invasion on someone else's countries. we as humans enjoying the feeling of power and control and being able to make others do our biddings. MWUHAHAHAHAHA and yes, the thought of global domination does make it a little more enticing (but just a little more

)

I'm in the same boat as you, lol Darnor. I'm playing my first 8 thoughts map, and it has been going on for over 30 rounds so far.

I have physical and mental prowess, anyone know how I can somehow merge the two? :lol:

The team aspect of RISK is what I like the best. I am also addicted to giving out positive feedback. I just can't stop.

Originally, I played because I was beating my brother-in-law in every game we played. Now I'm playing because I'm laid off, and I'll shoot myself if I can't do anything except look for work all day.
