RISK Domination IV: Finished!

[Sensei]

PA-NY Do or die

[The Mikado]

PA-NY Do or die

Without giving my opinions as to Sensei's strategy (hey, he crossed the Rubicon), I actually like (within limit) the delay between the order and the dice-rolling in this version.  Two evenly matched territories go to battle.  The suspense is enthralling, even if the move doesn't have much longterm significance.

all ACC sports events are played on my turf, for now.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

all ACC sports events are played on my turf, for now.

Which would be great if this were basketball season (which despite the early games, it isn't).  It's still football season so what's important is the SEC!

And unfortunately, I only own most, as compared to all, of the SEC team states.

If everybody has a set to turn in, why can't we?



That gives me six more for the set, plus two more on Maine, plus the original three, equaling 11, all to be put in Maine. Attack Massachusetts do or die, attack New York do or die. And curse the senseiite fezzy-enablers!

[Frodo]

Since it looks (at this point) like Fezzy has all but won this game, I want to put my name down for the next round.

although i don't want to agree with Frodo here, I want a spot in the next game as well. There's quite a few things I'd like to improve.

[Joe Republic]

I'm not accepting any applications to join the next game yet.  That'll happen after this game is over, and will be in a separate thread a lot like this one.

End turn.

PA attack NY

Question...

Will the next game just be Domination, or will you be doing the other variants too?  If so, would there be a chance of getting into, say, two out of three?

[Јas]

Certain posts have been deleted in accordance with the no-commentary policy.  I wasn't kidding about it, guys.

FTR, and I ask quite sincerely, is it really allowable for you to delete posts which are not in breach of the forum's rules? I appreciate your motivations (even though I disagree with them), but deleting the posts seems to me a rather arbitrary use of a power which wasn't given to be used for this reason.

Also, will commentary and/or criticism be allowed after the game has ended?

[Josh/Devilman88]

Why not just make a thread where you can talk about it?

[Јas]

Why not just make a thread where you can talk about it?

Joe declared a ban on commentary on the game, not specifically within the game.

My understanding was that the objection to the commentary/criticism was that certain players felt  either:

• that it was unfair that they were the subject of criticism
• that the commentary was affecting player decisions

Neither of these issues would be circumvented by starting a new thread.

We should play a capital round. That would be uber sweet.
