2009-11-18 22:30:34 - thegreekdog: instead of cursing him/her out incessantly
2009-11-18 22:35:11 - thegreekdog: this is the subject of a GD thread, in case you are wondering what I'm spewing
2009-11-18 22:36:43 - HighlanderAttack: problem is he is not wanting to learn
2009-11-18 22:38:18 - thegreekdog: if he doesn't want to learn, then cursing him/her out incessantly is warranted i think
2009-11-18 22:39:28 - thegreekdog: hmm, perhaps he/she does not read the game chat
2009-11-18 22:40:43 - richi_rich1206: what
2009-11-18 22:41:42 - thegreekdog: in an escalating game, it is not worthwhile to go for bonuses
2009-11-18 22:42:20 - thegreekdog: for example, if you take fields bonus, here's what happens: (1) you lose some armies, (2) you get a 5 spot bonus per turn, (3) you have to use armies to hold that 5 spot bonus per turn
2009-11-18 22:42:36 - thegreekdog: (4) after the first go round of cards, the card bonus is more than 5
2009-11-18 22:42:51 - thegreekdog: so, you may say, "who cares?"
2009-11-18 22:43:19 - thegreekdog: well, we care because you can ruin the game for the rest of us by playing a no card strategy on an escalating game
2009-11-18 22:43:39 - thegreekdog: but, i'll defer to highlanderattack who is much better than me at this game
2009-11-18 22:45:05 - richi_rich1206: ok so i shouldnt go for cards
2009-11-18 22:45:33 - thegreekdog: awesome
2009-11-18 22:53:17 - HighlanderAttack: early on u attacked red
2009-11-18 22:53:29 - HighlanderAttack: when you did that you weakened both you and him
2009-11-18 22:54:06 - HighlanderAttack: If you had just traded cards--meaning attack a one and get a card you would be in a much stronger position later on in the game when the cards will make the difference
2009-11-18 22:54:36 - thegreekdog: i think he's being sarcastic now
2009-11-18 22:54:48 - HighlanderAttack: you and red have 25 armies each--green has 34--blue has 30
2009-11-18 22:55:03 - HighlanderAttack: oh didnt catch that
2009-11-18 22:55:38 - thegreekdog: maybe he's not being sarcastic, but i think he is (considering he's played some 800+ games)
2009-11-18 22:56:07 - HighlanderAttack: so yellow do u want to learn and understand or what?
2009-11-18 22:59:07 - HighlanderAttack: tgd-your right he does not want to learn--just noticed him taking a total of five of my armies and taking the castle
2009-11-18 22:59:50 - richi_rich1206: ya teach i just now read the chat
2009-11-18 23:02:33 - superkeener: well at least the game is moving quickly!
2009-11-18 23:03:11 - HighlanderAttack: It is about minimizing loses --you dont go for bonuses unless you have most of the area and can do it with minimum loses
2009-11-18 23:03:42 - HighlanderAttack: I personally never go for a bonus--I am happy with attacking a one and getting a card
2009-11-18 23:04:08 - HighlanderAttack: almost never --If it is a small area and I have 3of4 in that area or something like that I will go for the bonus
2009-11-18 23:04:52 - HighlanderAttack: The key is to set up around your territs --by building--build in strategic areas to take someone out when the card cash is big enough
2009-11-18 23:05:15 - HighlanderAttack: then use their cards to run the board or put yourself in such a strong postion you will win easily
2009-11-18 23:05:39 - HighlanderAttack: The more players you play with like 6/7/8 this is the only way to play
2009-11-18 23:06:08 - HighlanderAttack: If you do excess attacking both you and the players you attack get weak and they are easy prey later on for someone who has played by the book
2009-11-18 23:07:51 - HighlanderAttack: 3/4/5 player games do give you an option to get a bonus but not if it means weakening you or another player
2009-11-18 23:08:10 - HighlanderAttack: try to follow these rules and watch you winning percentage go up
2009-11-18 23:18:18 - HighlanderAttack: someone leave me a one if possible
2009-11-18 23:25:33 - thegreekdog: oh, sorry
2009-11-18 23:25:40 - thegreekdog: meant to take barley too
2009-11-19 03:07:07 - superkeener: I tried to take barley also, but failed, however I left you a 1 --that will be $20
2009-11-19 13:28:21 - HighlanderAttack: ok where do I send the 20-lol
2009-11-19 13:28:30 - HighlanderAttack: ty
2009-11-19 22:31:44 - superkeener: You can just buy me anoher year of premium and well call iteven :)
2009-11-22 05:12:28 - HighlanderAttack: Lesson complete
2009-11-22 05:13:20 - HighlanderAttack: yellow-alhough it seemed like your bonus on the castle was a good thing--which I do think that worked out well for you--the early attacks on red to get the bottom left region really hurt red
2009-11-22 05:13:50 - HighlanderAttack: ultimately the weakening of red and yourself made it easy when the cards got big and the right circumstances fell into my lap
2009-11-22 05:14:02 - HighlanderAttack: gg all
2009-11-23 03:45:45 - thegreekdog: the right circumstances being either (1) my mistake in cashing and trying to take red or (2) my dice while attempting (1)
2009-11-23 10:52:26 - HighlanderAttack: if u had good numbers that was a good choice-dice cant be helped
2009-11-23 12:39:55 - thegreekdog: i agree
2009-11-23 12:40:15 - thegreekdog: good game H.A.
2009-11-24 03:02:00 - HighlanderAttack: ty
