Game 20478641

i thought games with NRs did not involve points?

Guide games or whatever don’t have points but normal games vs them still do with restrictions?

Probably because it’s a team game and you as partner just override the coding and game count for point.

can someone change the coding, and give me my points back?

My understanding that Guide Games do not count for points, but that other games with NR do involve points.

Someone else stated the same, but I am confident that this is correct.

That used to be the case until recently. However, this summer they finally fixed the loophole so that NO games with NRs count for points.

Wait so NR’s can’t earn points and rank up off the start? What loophole are you referring to?

The way I read the rule is only for 2 or 3 player games.

Okay, maybe I misunderstood.

Generally I only play NR in Guide Games; it is rare that I do otherwise. I cannot recall when I last did so. I think I offered to show one NR a few things by playing a follow-up game, but that was well before this past summer.

I was not aware of the change.

CC has been "in decline" now for years. Why? the games seem more and more fixed. The dice are awful. High ranked players seem more and more unbeatable. The rudeness and nasty comments seem to get worse every year. The administration seem defensive and inflexible to change and never listen to or address legitimate complaints. When I complain about dodgy dice, I seem to lose every roll for a week right afterwards. Fishy? The games are not fun anymore. I cannot play without a hidden fear that the dice will turn on me or Risk cards will screw me again. Drops always favor higher ranked players. Some players cannot be beaten. Why? I suspect they are using loaded dice. Or someone is fixing the games. Anyways, I am almost done. Risk is an awesome game and there are some great scenarios here. The dice algorithms are the worse in the universe. Why sugar coat it? It's in someone's interests that the status quo remain. The net result? Many old veterans will quit or are considering quitting. The new players, whom are often rude and seem to use dirty tactics like tag teaming, secret diplomacy with "friends" and loaded dice, seemed to proliferate. Many games seemed strangely fixed. They often are decided after the first move. That's fishy. Some players seem to get 20 armies ahead in one turn and its strange. Are they cheating? I suspect some are. How? The dark web? Who knows? Well, maybe I'm old and crusty. or maybe I remember fondly the Golden Age of CC, when the dice were fair, and conversations were fun or limited strictly to the game, and when I lost, I felt that I was defeated by a superior opponent and not by horrid dice, cheating or fixed games. merry Christmas everyone.

I have the opposite problem, lower ranked players always win, and high ranks are easy to beat
