Or is the best I can do is leave negative ratings?

Oh ok. It that allowed?

What does it mean when someone puts something like that in the Chat?

Sitting on the fence then...

Thank you for the advise.

Comments: Devo is a new user so maybe he does not know the rules. However I have received a PM from him asking for a truce. I have attached a screenshot. I have sent him a PM back ...

I think the questions here should be...

If every game turned out like this would anyone mind?
If a newcomer comes to the game and loses his first game like this is he going to want to stay for more?

I'm not sure if it's right or not. But I don't think it should be allowed to continue just because ...

Just in the last few rounds of an Eight Player, No Spoils, Classic game. Started it back in August and we're now at round 167.

Just curious as to what your longest games have been?

I smoked loads of it when I was younger. Just gave me a bad head and made me sluggish most of the time.

Why is it shitty?

It was a serious question. Yes.

When I first had premium it was five bucks cheaper and speed games had just come out and there were definitely a lot more active players. Those days were probably the peak of this websites existence


hey xenon, glad to see u have a premium account now, did u stop smoking pot?

no seriously ...

What's the biggest issue exactly?

Not getting enough new comers to visit the site?
Not getting enough new comers to stay once they do visit?
Or is it regulars that have decided to leave?

Another idea is how about tutorials or challenge maps against AI to get you used to the different game mechanics.

Just found out about WarLight and you can play single player on that and you have about 8 tutorial maps you can play. Each one teaches you about certain game play mechanics. Maybe ...

I think there should be more emphasis on classic games for non premium members. After all, that's probably the game type new members are here to play.

If they try and "join a game" and are faced with page after page of random complicated maps then they are probably going to end up joining a game ...

Yeah maybe. Well logged on this morning and now got most of my games full so that will keep me busy for a few months!

my games fill pretty quickly. it must be you.

No it's not me. Just had 30 of them full up today. Don't know why it took so long but have a lot of games now. Feel free to join some if you fancy a game.

Started 50 games back in the summer and got them all filled out with players in maybe a day.

Started 50 games this morning and not a single player has joined a single game.

Are there less people playing these days or am I somehow being ignored by everyone lol?

Hi torres, that would be great. I've not played too many team games. I would love to know more.

Despite registering about 3 years ago I've only really played for the last six months so I'm still fairly green. Looking to join a clan if one will have me. Not too fussed about the gimmicky maps. I'm a straight up Classic Map kinda guy and really enjoy playing no spoil games but am happy with flat ...

Even if it is his son and it's not a multi I still don't think they should be playing the same games together.

He's not- none of the games under the anotherdk account involve the xroads account. The son excuse is likely a pre-emptive attempt to dodge the IP address problem.

Think about it dumb ...

I'm pretty new here but think I should qualify

Dice odds are important, but many inexperienced players should take note of this:

Sometimes your best chance of winning a game is to proceed with an attack where the odds don't favor victory.

Can you give some examples where this would be applicable?

I sometimes do it myself to be honest.

If ...

What's to stop a cheater from claiming he's playing with his "friend". And has anyone noticed that we seem to have a lot of people on here recently playing with their "friends" lol.

I don't think it should be allowed. If it's not being abused now it won't be long before it will be.

Does anyone have any decent guides on Dice Probabilities? Looking to improve my gameplay and thinking a guide on dice probabilities might help!?!?

Also in one small article ( buggered if I can find it now) it went on to say that in a "stalemate" scenario where both players are just reinforcing ...
