Take a look at my graph: http://aplayr.com/user/Newton/

The reason I point to this is because I've decided that my luck in this game has decided to go away. I'm not a steller player by any measure, but how does one go from the 2000's to less then 1500 in less then a month? I guess it's a combination of big losses early in the game (losing 5v3 multiple times and sometimes 5v2), and bad placement. Anyways, I'm giving up on this avatar, I think it's cursed, and I guess the Physics of this game arn't suited for Issac Newton.

This will be a bitch post, just a warning, and I'm doing it just because. I've noticed recently that the game seems to depend a lot on lucck. Almost too much. Maybe this was the way it was from the beginning, because I had good luck and the fact that I kept having it gave me confidence that I

Was good(lousy keyboard) anyway, I t seems though, after I have understood quite a few strategies and tactical tricks, I felt It had only a little to do with luck. I was wrong. Soon, I started playing games thinking I could do it if I had the right moves, which is a common misconception. But, it seems luck is going in wierd ways, like favoring those who have already dominated the board. I remember I was able to come out of 5 territories outnumbered to get first, and once even alone against alliances. I may just be putting the blame of my disappointment in the game on the luck and I probably sould wait to calm down and just play again, but, if newton's unfortunate luck streak (awful, I might add)is the result of a change in whatever the probabilities are for the game, then something sould be considered. I know it's mostly luck, but I've been seeing in the past a heightened amount of stacks with differences of three losing. I've heard of 6 losing to a 2, but that was a while ago. If there has been a change since last year, could someone say so? I'm sorry for complaining. I just might be happier to know for a fact if it's the probability equation thingy (I'm awful in math, so, please,just explain it in words, not numbers :) )

Well it is certainly bad luck for the cow that died for it.
