RISK Domination IV: Finished!

Oh fuck this.  I can't win with you guys.

I used to enjoy running these games, you know.

Joe, don't worry about them, just make another thread for Risk talk and if they post in this thread then delete it.

Before now, I could just about tolerate people bitching at me about various things to do with this game, forgetting that I was sacrificing a surprising amount of time (that I don't seem to have much of these days) for no material benefit, just to let a few people have some fun.  But now it's just getting ridiculous.

I am well aware that non-player commentary has existed in every game prior to this, but I had never received complaints about it from players before.  The excuse that 'the players should be able to accept criticism for their mistakes' is not quite applicable when the criticism has gradually become a combination of thinly-veiled insults and/or encouragement to consistently target one or two specific players.  How on earth can anybody expect to enjoy themselves with a crowd of people hurling sh*t at them from the sidelines?

My only solution to this was the wrong one; I can now see that.  I apologize for deleting people's posts.  I'm glad at least that you can see why I did it.

I guess I just can't stop people bullying the players.  I would have thought that they might employ some common sense and decency when it comes to respecting people's feelings, but apparently not.

I owe it to the remaining players to see this game through to the end.  Once that's happened, I'll decide on whether I'll bother doing another one.

Joe, I just want to say I am glad you are doing these. You really don't have to do it at all, but you do it anyways. I just want to say, that if people don't like the way you do things then they can f themself's.

NY attack CT

[Josh/Devilman88]

Move 5 from ND to MN end turn.

[Josh/Devilman88]

Whos going to win? No one knows.

[Josh/Devilman88]

Turn these in..





That gives me 4 more, plus 2 for WI card. Put all in MN, attack ND with MN.

[Josh/Devilman88]

ND attack MT

[Josh/Devilman88]

MT attack WY

[Josh/Devilman88]

WY attack CO

[Josh/Devilman88]

Josh, as a polite request, it would probably be more efficient if you posted more than one attack order at a time.  You could always post contingency orders for if a certain string of attacks doesn't go to plan, e.g. "if that fails, attack xx instead until I lose # battalions", etc.

OK I'm sorry,

Just run this as far as it will go... Attack UT with CO then NV then OR then WA then AK then HI then CA then AZ then NM then TX stop there(if I make it) and wait for orders.

[Josh/Devilman88]

Nothing else for me to do, sorry fezzy. END TURN

[Josh/Devilman88]

I had to make the game fun.

[Josh/Devilman88]

All in WI attack IL then KY then TN if I make it that far. End turn

[Josh/Devilman88]

All in WA Attack ID, move all battalions back to WA end turn.
