Partly being the reason I haven't spoke up about it. Solely, because of peoples life schedules being different it would take sometimes days just to place our men. Thus making it a thorn in my royal anus.

Ok, but we can come up with another system that isn't so much a pain in the rectum, surely?

Like when you click the join link you are forced to input some selections there and then.
People submit requests for territories in advance (say a small proportion of the map) and the the computer takes care of the rest...
because we have a computer that can do it.

Anyway there should be some variation that can be dreamed up by the members of CC.

Just typical...

I try to create a humourous thread, and it is once again swamped with flames and rational concerns. Bravo CC community, way to ruin the fun...

mibi... you read my thoughts exactly mate. I mean if something has a period of 4.3 x 10^6000... try picking the pattern

Why don't we give 6's to the people we like and 1's to the people we don't?

How about we roll the dice to see who places their armies first for a happy medium. Like the actual fucking game was meant to be played! I would never allow myself to endure some of these ridiculous drops. This is the one change that would in turn bring us all together in a giant circle of love. *splooges in pants just thinking about it*

Placing armies is a really good suggestion, and yes, just like how the board game clone of CC is played.
Surely someone has suggested this already but maybe worth revisiting.

Unfortunately this would make the board game clone too similar to CC and it's not worth giving small companies like that unnecessary trouble in redesigning a game that has been around for ages.

I brought this up in the Sugs and Bugs forum a little bit ago...it didn't get a whole lot of attention.

We should just have the youngest player go first, that way creepy old stalkers could find victims easier.

Sorry to burst your bubble, KH, but in the newest versions of Risk, the rules are changed to dealing the cards out, not placing armies like I remember from when I was little. I know, because I recently bought one of the "boxed book" sets; another friend has a deluxe version from a few years back, and it, too, shows "deal the cards out" rules.

[yeti_c]

Most amusing thread here Pi... did you know you're statistically more likely to go first if you are Red?

The game I always played (first played in the 80's) you dealt the cards to get the territories... to me the more important part of the equation would be the placing of the armies after the deal - that way you can at least attempt to mitigate a shitty deal.

I think the European and American versions had different rules regarding this, but I may be a liar.
