I LOVE this map and have been playing the Beta and having a good time. I have only read about half of this thread, so I'm sorry if these have been addressed, but a few comments:

1- I live in Hawaii, so when we say "Waimea" out here the first thing most Hawaiians think of is Waimea bay surf spot on ...

cool, thanks for the reply. i figured it probably wouldn't be possible, but it was worth a try.
bummer end to an epic game, but its still just a game, so i'll get over it.

thanks,

this glitch has ruined one of my most enjoyable games ever. we've been playing for over a year, and it has been tense, close, back-and-forth with none of the final 3 players able to gain advantage. then the glitch occurs in Round 163. we try to each skip a turn so that it is fair for the person we ...

well, the TEA party stands for "taxed enough already" and they were formed during times of historically low taxes in a country that is among the least taxed in the world, so right away their argument seems invalid. i went to a couple of their meetings and am still on their email list. the issue my ...

I'm working on it. Trying to make the map look good again, but graphics aren't my strong suit, and I'm going on a quick trip to Hawaii soon, so won't be able to work on it while I'm there.

It's coming along though.

I'm going to step in right quick and say that while I understand the Letter-Number designations and the notes of suggestions, it's making this map look WAY rougher than it should be at this point in time. Stick with some bonus values, put the graphical touches that you want there anyway, and start ...

sorry folks, I can't keep up with these threads. i'm going to bow out.

to answer someone's question: When do "normal" people get power? -- I really don't know.

Here's what I know:
our country spends too much.
our taxes are pretty low historically, and our economy has done just fine in the past ...

Sadly, JoshyBoy is right. The average people keep getting screwed.

Here in America reasonable people are forced to vote Democrat because for the last 30 years Republicans have been piling debt onto our country and giving tax breaks to the wealthy. They keep promising it will provide more jobs, but ...

I'd also suggest lowering the outrigger neutrals to 2, since otherwise you'd have to go through 6 neutrals and a player's stack to break a player's bonus, as opposed to the adjusted 4 neutrals.

-Sully

sounds good. next update will have outriggers start at 2 neutral. What do people think about ...

Here are my thoughts gameplay-wise: I think you should consider moving the H2-Ko1 border to H3. just to open up Hawaii a bit more.

-Sully


done. and i like it better.
i could also add more attack routes if you all think i should. just tell me where:

Here are my thoughts gameplay-wise:
Kauai: +3 or +4
Niihau and Kahoolawe: +1 each (alternatively, you could make these auto-deploys, or make them +2 for both)
Oahu: +5
Molokai: +2
Lanai: +2
Maui: +4
Hawaii: +6
Outriggers: +1 for 2, +2 for 3, +4 for 4, +6 for 5, +9 for all 6 (gives a more ...

Gameplay still looks good. Can you put all the info on the map please so it will be easier to figure out without going back through the thread? Thank you and looking forward to your next update.


here's small version with info on the map to facilitate better feedback:
big version is in OP, i can ...

Okay, we can do that. ;)

Here's a new update with revisions you suggested on Jan 27th. There is a lot of work still to be done, but before I start to make it look pretty we can solve gameplay problems. I gave the territories generic names so its easier to count and debate them. I didn't give the ...

roger that. can you give me until July 4th? if we don't have an update, recycle me brah.

where do you live?
i have found tuna and swordfish to be easy to grill, and especially tuna if you undercook it then it is still ok.

but you gotta buy good stuff. whole foods is generally pricey but worth it.

i've been playing since the late 90s. sometimes a lot,sometimes not.
ive played dozens of courses tho in about 15-20 US states. Its a great excuse to get out of the car when you are road-tripping.

its also just fun to play a round after work.
still have never hit a hole in one...

will do. thanks for the tip.

I love that background RjBeals and with your permission will incorporate it into the map.

sorry everyone for the long delay in a new update, ive been trying to do things with gimp since my photoshop free trial ran out, but i'm getting nowhere.

another few paychecks and/or a free saturday to ...

you guys know that Ayn Rand had to get help from the government near the end of her life, right?

i enjoyed reading her books as a youth, and they are inspirational, but they are about as practical as communism.

so in the end, she shrugged and went on medicare:

I got my first bachelors degree in Biology.
Finished my second bachelors degree in August in Nursing.
I'll eventually get a masters or phd in nursing (practitioner or anesthesiology)

I also feel like I learned a lot about life and the world by traveling. I've been to all 50 states, half of the ...

For sure! Esiemer got a new job....then he got Another new job and is in the process of moving from Cali to PacNW. He will be settled in about two weeks...then we can take it back up. Sorry for the delay.
No worries. Good to know this project hasn't been dropped :)


Thanks to Sully and everyone ...

I like mine, but I don't like the fish/dolphin thing next to the surfer.
I probably will never change it, unless i photoshop out the fish.

I like everyones avatar that has posted in this thread already, and it kind of annoys me when people change their avatars a lot because then i have a hard time ...

if you are against gay marriage, then you hate freedom and you love big government intruding on citizen's lives.

seriously.

Good things!

Kucinich, Bernie Sanders and Rand Paul, what an odd threesome, but they did good work today.

Universal, single payer health care is the most efficient and fiscally responsible way to run a country, as well as being the only morally acceptable choice. If you are for our current American system, then you are against balanced budgets and the teachings of Jesus.

Prove it.
Not a problem ...
