I'm baaaaa-aaaaack!

Long leave of absence, then checked out the site for the first time in about a year a couple weeks ago -- I've played only a couple games since my return, and this one is turning into a dramatic game -- Game 2270251

http://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=2270251

When would you go to and what would you do?

[-X I would travel back in time to correct the typographical error you posted in the quote above. Oh, look, it's already fixed. Wait, no, I would travel back in time to just before you made this post, then I would post the same post , only before you ...

Wow, I just came back to Conquerclub, and look what I've been missing....

Can I still reserve the following business?

I suggested a "no-dice" alternative months ago: it was called "mutual annihilation"; each attacking army automatically destroys one defender, and each defending army automatically destroys one attacker (so if you want to attack a territory that has 1 defender, you need to attack from a territory ...

Why not? (BTW, didn't I suggest this already? lol)

Escalation Minus One and User-defined card trade-in values is already on the list....

oh, i thought you meant just for yourself, not for everyone on the board!
this may work if its a 2,000 army limit or something more, but not 100, because most maps for a 6 player game deploy more than 100.

Agreed -- 100 was just an arbitrary number for sake of (simple) example. I'm thinking most ...

Take for example, you have a Esc. Games, and you have 100 armies, and the next cash is worth 100, you have a set, and you cash it, you cant deploy any armies?

What if then take your opponent down to 10 men, then he cashes for 105, he now tries to take you out, and does successfully..

That's ...

Might I also suggest a "Hated Rival / Respected Enemy" list?

How about an option in new games to set a Maximum # of Armies on the board? For example, you could set it to 100, and when there are a hundred armies on the board, you can't get any more until some of them get wiped out. If you had armies coming to you but the limit was already reached, your new ...

Hmmm....interesting. This is used in real-life games sometimes to prevent the game from dragging on and interfering with other games and real life. I think it's perfect for tournaments (say 20, 50 and 100-round tourney games).

For new games.... Say, you could set the total number of rounds a new ...

I think it would be benificial to have the "Fortify" banner centered between the "End fortification" banner and "fortify to" column because, in an adjacent game, if you just miss by a millimeter or so it ends your turn. If your still contemplating a fortification and hit "End fortify by mistake ...

cool. so what did the moderaters or people in charge say when u last suggested it? did they like it?

Oh, I forget, something between apathy and a tacit nod. Basically, the mods were split between three camps:

Those who felt it a waste of dev time, a burden on server calculation and bandwidth ...

Trading countries would also allow team-mates to swap a newly-taken territory to their team-mate, allowing rapid follow-on assaults by the whole team.

I think the deadbeats points should automatically go to whoever defeats the last "live" player apart from themselves

Anything that rewards deadbeatting can only be bad for the game

I believe that too.

Yeah, the last man (or woman) standing should take the big pot at the end.... a pot ...

^I agree. Why keep playing the game...but why do the points disappear? That does not make sense. In any other game format, the deadbeat, no matter if someone takes all their armies or not, they lose points. The not losing any points is what doesn't make sense to me.
Because in terminator, the way ...

This has happened to me! I totally agree that you should always get a card at the end of your turn if you a take at least one territory, whether you end your turn or let time run out.

I can see keeping the status quo being an open invitation to abuse the meta-game meta-strategy aspect of letting ...

(1) It's a good idea.

(2) It's already been suggested -- by me -- however, I had suggested a Percentage % of Games Deadbeated.

(3) Should totally be implemented.

(4) It would be so easy to add a column next to each name and a space on each profile to list Total # of Missed Turns.

I think so....but still, good idea!

Happy Easter!

they r both great ideas

BUMP

A formal apology in exchange for prisoner release and avoiding a full-scale war? That sounds like an excellent bargain! The only way I would condone use of force in the rescue of these P.O.W.s is the following scenario:

If Iran were mistreating the prisoners or threatening execution or making ...

when your gf is in the door in a robe begging you to come to bed....

sorry hun, its freestyle...give me a minute....

2 hours later...

are you awake sweetie???

This story is fictitional. The characters are fictitiosIt never happened. No matter what CD says.

LOL that totally happens too ...

One thing I've noticed about the dice.... If I get hosed on a roll, and then roll again right away, I usually get hosed again. However, if I pause for a few seconds before hitting the Attack button again, I have better luck. I think the script is partially time-based the way it picks numbers from ...

When you Auto-Attack , the computer keeps rolling dice until half of your attacking armies are destroyed.

You then have the option to Auto-Attack again, which will again cause the computer to keep rolling until half of your remaining armies are destroyed (or until your attacking force is reduced ...
