Don't Dictate

In the event a first place starts making unreasonable demands, those flagged to him no longer have an obligation to honor their surrender. All that a flag is supposed to be is finishing behind the person flagged to, not a dictate of how to play.

at 12:24 PM, Monday October 18, 2010 EDT Depends on what "unreasonable" means. The player in first is free to dictate who gets what placement and is under no obligation to let players go for "unreasonable" placement. I can't stand it when someone is fighting a 5/6 battle, wins and then decides he is free to go for 4th and then 3rd, etc. Especially when the player that holds 4th, 3rd, etc., has sat and let the other player fight for 10 rounds and gain more territories.
On the other hand, if the player in first starts farming, then a revolt may certainly be in order. |

at 12:39 PM, Monday October 18, 2010 EDT I just had a situation that I was not involved in similar to what you said. The fourth was not able to touch the 5/6, but if so, they could have gone three way. 5/6 resolved, and then 5 reasonably wanted to play for fourth, not third or second, just fourth. In the money. He had no chance because he was blocked by the player everyone was flagged to. In this case we REASONED with the finalists to rolloff, but that was up to them. BTW, I was second place. So, I partially agree with you, but 1st would have been wrong to "assign" 4th, 5th, and 6th. That is what I am addressing.

at 12:49 PM, Monday October 18, 2010 EDT Heh, I played that game with you and I was the player in 4th. The point was that I was in 4th, had the 4th place dom and was +32 in dice, while teal and brown fought. I could have easily gone through the 1st place player to kill teal, who was the one that wanted 4. That would have made it a 2v1 on him. So the point here is that if I am willing to wait for teal and brown to fight for their spot, I shouldn't be penalized for an act of kindness. You can't have it both ways. If I wait, then I get the spot for which I am flagged. If I don't wait, then teal is free to fight me 4/6, while brown gets 5. But teal doesn't deserve to be allowed to fight unmolested for 5/6, grow, and then fight for my spot.

at 5:53 PM, Monday October 18, 2010 EDT ok i got a solution for you, because i will be that guy in 6th kicking your ass, say you 3rd, now to stop me from killing, 5th, 4th and then you, you swap spaces with another player so your bordering me, usually on 100 and 0 tables people wont even care to take their spaces back, o 500, 2000 etc., you must offer your spaces in return because every space is a point

at 5:57 PM, Monday October 18, 2010 EDT i would also like to mention 2v1, 2v1 is legal unlike trucing, if there are 3 people left and the 2 other are fighting, it makes sense to attack them and make sure your first, if theres one thing people hate its 2v1 so they will flag and the 2v1 will end anyways, hope i helped you noobs ;)

Where did you get the idea that trucing is not "legal"? |

at 9:45 PM, Monday October 18, 2010 EDT "game to game favors or alliances" is not the same as saying "let's truce" in the middle of a game. Trucing has never had any connotation of extending across games.
