Aw, ty. I just had a lucky streak.

I can't find the Strategery thread, but I wanted to post a strategy I've found quite helpful on tables that have little (or, later in the game, big) holes in them (which is most of them, lately. Is it my imagination, or did there not used to be all these holes in the tables?). If you can make a circle around the hole, you cannot be split with one strike, even if you are spread but one-land thin.

How did you get to play? It looks like the 8-dice game is turned off, and the 16-dice game never has enough players for a game....

If your using firefox and it appears that the 8 die game isnt working try clearing your cookies.

hmmm, I should try just taking the whole outside border (and maybe a couple of the *very* obvious easy attacks). Hopefully no one wants to attack someone that just has the border.

Running for the border or a corner is a very good place to make a stronghold (or get out of the way of scrappers and build a nest). I was just listing a third option I found helpful. :)
