2007-01-12 13:23:07 - Bishop: Hello
2007-01-12 13:23:28 - Bishop: I find escalating games the hardest to grasp.
2007-01-12 15:39:18 - Bishop: Any advice on opening strategy?
2007-01-12 18:02:41 - dewey316: Hi Bishop. I figure this game will be a slow one, as we are all going to be waiting for Joey's advice.
2007-01-12 20:18:22 - joeyjordison: ok guys. the trick with escalating games is to get cards. u try to cash as late as possible to get the maximum value for ur cards but u shouldn't leave it too late or u will b wiped out.
2007-01-12 20:18:42 - joeyjordison: watch out for an oponent cashing early to wipe u out
2007-01-12 20:19:20 - joeyjordison: if ur gonna try to wipe someone out then make sure u won't fall short. if u fall short then u end up with the other player getting the person's cards u almost defeated
2007-01-12 20:19:58 - joeyjordison: continents r great at the start to get strong wich will leave u in a position to b able to take ur time over cashing
2007-01-12 20:21:02 - joeyjordison: if u r gonna b the first to cash (look through the game log to count cards) then u can deploy but not attack anywhere and therefore not get a card meaning the others will hav to cash before u unless they repeat the trick. 5 cards is maximum
2007-01-12 20:22:21 - joeyjordison: advice specific to players i will sometimes send via pm. try to predict ur oponent's moves. if u c some1 linin up for a wipe out then block them off. sometimes u can defend an enemy's cards by surrounding then with ur armies so they cannot be wiped out
2007-01-13 14:59:49 - Bishop: Thanks for the help, joeyjordison.
2007-01-13 15:00:58 - Bishop: I'm happy if this game goes slow while we wait for advice, if anyone wants to talk strategy on msn: nic_hinsperger@hotmail.com
2007-01-14 10:59:36 - joeyjordison: brucker don't get too bogged down in africa. even if u manage to hold it then by the time u do cashes will b more valuable
2007-01-14 11:00:07 - joeyjordison: dewey i reckon u mite b able to take oz if bishop doesn't focus too much over ther
2007-01-14 11:00:47 - joeyjordison: bishop ur takin the lead. u need to start looking for some1 to wipe out. usually u would wait till cards r worth a bit more but u r miles ahead so start lookin now ;)
2007-01-15 15:47:34 - Bishop: damn power went out during my turn
2007-01-17 02:08:49 - dewey316: Good game Bishop. I am pretty much screwed.
2007-01-17 02:48:39 - Bishop: Good game
