No I didnt see it, but I am totally unfamiliar with over half the maps on this site. A cook could take 4 of 7 games from me depending on what maps the system chose. The main point of my beef is that conquerers get more credit then what they deserve. I don't believe I am even close to the best player on the site, but whoever is has probably never held the conquerer medal. I do believe that Johnnyrocket and Blitzaholic are superior to myself no matter what the parameters, but I challenged EVERY conquerer, so I'll take my whoopin. I should have known Johnny would accept the challenge since he and had a history together about 4 years back. It seems most of the games top 50 players play mainly play team games. When I only played team games, I shot clear up to Colonel and almost never lost. After switching back to regular games my rank dropped off and fluctuates from Corporal to Major. My challenge was that conquers would have a tough time beating me in a standard came of risk. Although my plan appears somewhat flawed at the moment. It would seem I erred in my choice of game with Johnnyrocket. Both of us gained an enormous advantage simply by going first. I usually don't play 2 player games. Probably should have picked chained forts, as unlimited is actually not regular risk, and like I said gives whoever goes first an advantage. Eitherway, we have split the first two games, and both games could have went eitherway with a little luck. Still though going first was key in both games. If ljex wants to play me thats fine, but on a classic map or perhaps a map that plays like a classic map, like Asia, Italy, USA, etc. Nothing with weird rules or hard to read maps. There are maps I am convinced I would lose 100 out of 100 times no matter who I played. Unfortunately, I am one of those people who is black and white in their way of thinking. I either believe I will almost certainly win or almost certainly lose. There's rarely a middle ground with me. I am only comfortable on standard maps with rules most Risk players would be familiar with.
