Of course there were pacts there. I thought that was obvious. It's also obvious that it was an error to have pacts with you.
Sensei even got something out of them, arguably - second place. (Although even that was close.) Josh finally did what he should have done rounds earlier, but though it was by no means too little it was certainly too late. Especially without Sensei's support. Happy Warrior... (shakes head) Oh well. Happens when you play for the first time I suppose.

Oh well. I enjoyed it anyways. Smiley

One more thing I'd like to add... the only reason why I went to Delaware was because the west seemed so crowded and Gustaf seemed too left alone in the Northeast. If I'd guessed at Happy Warrior's playing prowess, I'd have gone west myself.

Going Northeast was the obvious move. Had the other players behaved more logically you would have had as good a chance as Fezzy at winning.

And I have to admit that I've never understood this business of getting second place (I remember TN thinking at some point that Jas hade made a pact with me to get 2nd place). Why would anyone play for second place in a game of elimination? It's pretty much all or nothing as far as I'm concerned. If you don't win you might as well get knocked out at any point.

I haven't commented on anything else...it would take far too long. But I agree with this.
As far as Risk is concerned...carpe omnium.

FYI, the sign-up thread for the next game will open soon after Christmas; definitely before the New Year. Smiley

I like my chances if I play in the next game, as I have more tactical knowledge now.

I'm glad to see you're up for this again.  Smiley  Um...I'll be gone between the 28th and the 1st, so could soon after Christmas be, like, soon after Christmas?

I plan to open it around the 26th or 27th, so you should be fine.
