How do you deal with people who keep fighting you as another player takes SCs and wins?

1st place has 10 SCs, 2nd place had 8, I had 6. 2nd place kept attacking me even as 1st built up to 12, 14, 17 SCs even while I went defensive. 1st place was eating 2nd's centers and 2nd was playing like an idiot.

How do you counter that? I wasn't sure what I could do. The last two turns I went all out desperate attack against 1st place and 2nd didn't even bother and actually grabbed more SCs while I put on a desperate push to stop 1st from winning.

Gunboat multis

Is it just me, or are you immediately suspicious of newly created anonymous gunboat games with only two people registered? Does that reek of obvious multi?

Question about muting

So, I've finally found myself annoyed enough with someone on the forums to mute them; not saying who as that would defeat the point of the mute, and I had a question:
If I'm playing an anon game with someone that I've muted, are they muted in the anon game too, or can they still chat normally in the game?

Quick question about Mods...

I emailed a Mod a few days ago about a Meta gamer, and I haven't heard back. I understand that Mods are all volunteers and have their own lives/games to attend to, but does anyone know about how long it takes to get a response (on average)? Or if I can expect one at all after they've 'investigated'?

On a side note.. has anyone noticed a stark increase in the occurrence of meta/multi gamers the past couple months??

17:17 -- Myth or Reality?

I have finished 34 games of Classic, I think, and seen exactly one successful 17:17 split. The two-way draw is often dangled as an alliance inducement, but how often does it actually come about?

One for the Old Worlders

Hello Fellow Europeans + North Africans and Middle East people

I wonder if any one of you have a tendency to secure your real-life home country? If, for instance you are British in real life and start out as Italy in the game, would you consider sending a fleet to all the way to Britain in the small chance of taking a bite?

Question for Euro-Zone people

How does the whole soveriegn debt fiasco look from your point of view?

I know that people from Europe sometimes find it baffling how the safety net is much weaker in the US than in their home nations, but I think we here find the level of tax evasion, bribery, and corruption in the southern tier nations equally baffling....

NMR's and CD's

The hating must stop. Embrace NMR's and CD's..

Leif_Syverson (271 )
16 Sep 11 UTC

After all nations NMR and CD in real life. Consider a single example: the French. They basically NMR'd their first turn of WWII. Then when the going got tough because they forgot to move, they basically CD'd just because the nazi's were in Paris. Did that mean Britain lobbied for a draw or a cancel? Hell no.

One could say that the Vietnam War was the VC trying to push past the established stalemate line until South Vietnam finally CD'd and the US was sick of putting on support holds.

Only two outraged replies and one in agreement? I thought for sure my thinly veilled sarcasm would generate more hatemail than that.. Comon people.. Britain had to have been pissed at France, and they didn't even have the option of stabbing for an extra SC.

To be fair to France, during Napoleon's reign they were the only country turning in orders, but once they got to 17 centers, they NMR'd for the next century.

Leif, that is a great and funny analysis of the "Strange Defeat." My wife and I are currently watching the old "Winds of War" miniseries, and saw the infuriating fall of France just last night.

I love NMRs and CDs. Both my wins hinged strongly on them :)

Seriously, quit crying for the following reasons:

1: for every player that CDs, your chances of winning or obtaining a better score increase (yeah, I know it can totally screw any given game, but think big picture)

2: when you get good enough to play good players, you won't have to worry about it: until you've proven you can compete at that level, you really have no right complaining about your "skill peers."

Rancher (1652 )
17 Sep 11 UTC

I will say that I have had plenty of friends in face to face get too drunk to really play, have a girlfriend/wife bitch at them to leave etc .... so at least let's not pretend that CDs only happen online

I don't like winning because someone quit. I like winning because, in addition to use of strategy and tactics, I convinced six people to let me win (probably not in those same words.)

Yellowjacket (835 )
17 Sep 11 UTC

True, true, Emperor. That's why I made point #2 ;P If you aren't playing against people who won't quit (i.e. you're not betting more than 100 per game) then you really haven't earned the right to complain about the skill level or lack of interest of your competitors. Until you can separate yourself from the chaff, you just gotta suck it up, take advantage when you can, and sigh when you can't.

No Joke, this is a quote from a facebook arguement I am in

I will support Zack's decision to enter into the dangerously racist field of biology, despite the fact that reason and logic certainly have no place in the future socialist empire of equality and freedom which we will fight for and inherit, despite our low-birthrate and poor schooling. We will survive!
