Before the introduction of the Flagging System this game could be pretty fun. There was room for more varied political machinations. Now a game usually unfolds by someone getting a strongish base and everyone flagging him/her. Even middle bases regularly win in this way. I remember a time, before flags, when I stirred up a table of 2 territory cripples to bring down a farming empire that held most of the board. It was really fun. That, along with numerous other possible scenarios, cannot happen now. The game has lost a great deal of its political texture.
As an example of how much the Flagging System has ruined gameplay here is a copy/paste from the chatbox in a game i witnessed today: KimJung da ilest: i let u come thru KimJung da ilest: red pepecolo: kill kong sneakas: because i killed you green sneakas: and left you just because you wanted KimJung da ilest: u didnt kill shit bjgreg: purp and yell roll KimJung da ilest: I had u on the ropes JohnFTW: green you're losing dom by waiting BAMMBI: why dont all u little ones revolt? sneakas: blue ??? pepecolo: tu fais koi la toi sneakas: purp did nothing sneakas: why i should roll him ? KAGEEE: blue mildrid: mh purp wanted 4th pepecolo: bute le vert KimJung da ilest: just roll guys KAGEEE: what is your final decision bjgreg: that's correct KimJung da ilest: please mildrid: you all roll mildrid: what about that?! mildrid: all roll for third KimJung da ilest: lol pepecolo: kill green KimJung da ilest: okay pepecolo: wtf game KimJung da ilest: fuck it KAGEEE: ok sneakas: i suggest geen and purp roll KimJung da ilest: lets roll this bitch KAGEEE: all roll for 3rd KAGEEE: yellow pepecolo: not fait KAGEEE: roll or blue will kill u KimJung da ilest: 34 mildrid: 34 green pepecolo: blue and red sneakas: ok i roll last then mildrid: 25 KAGEEE: gg mildrid: 31 sneakas: 31 KimJung da ilest: I win pepecolo: yellow win mildrid: sorry purp pepecolo: mildrid i hate u Talk about lame. |

at 5:37 AM, Sunday October 3, 2010 EDT das and X are right: at bottom obviously and indeed 25 would be nicer too
and yes Vermont, it looks contradictory and you sort of have a point I meant this one isn't that bad because after all those years, you sort of accept it with its shortcomings and learn to use it as it is. And visualy, it's OK and well integrated into the KDice site. |

at 2:01 PM, Sunday October 3, 2010 EDT This is pretty funny, considering I've seen BAMMBI flag in the second round at least 20 times.
