2011-07-20 04:06:26 - Shai: :)
2011-07-20 04:06:31 - Shai: gl
2011-07-21 05:57:41 - macbone: Hey, Shai! Whew, I'm glad this one isn't flat rate. =)
2011-07-23 02:48:48 - macbone: so far, I'm 0-6 when attacking 3v1 in this game =)
2011-07-25 03:20:13 - macbone: kiwi, i have no intention of breaking your bonus =)
2011-07-25 03:20:43 - macbone: woohoo! a card!
2011-07-27 16:44:46 - macbone: look, shai, man, that's not the way to play escalating
2011-07-27 16:44:58 - macbone: you weaken me there, you just make it easier for someone else to take me out
2011-07-27 16:45:09 - macbone: you want to take my points yourself, not give them away to someone else =)
2011-07-27 16:46:11 - macbone: keep your opponent close where you can easily take him out when the time is right
2011-07-27 16:46:16 - macbone: don't hit stacks just to hit 'em
2011-07-27 16:46:40 - macbone: smart escalating players don't worry about breaking bonuses. The card cash will get high enough that the bonus will be irrelevant
2011-07-29 18:26:02 - whakamole: irrelevant? you mean like all your carrying on?
2011-07-30 03:02:00 - macbone: whak, you wound me =)
2011-07-30 03:02:08 - macbone: I do have the tendency to get long-winded at times
2011-07-31 11:12:56 - whakamole: i just don't see the point in carrying oooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnn when people don't know how to play esc properly
2011-07-31 11:13:09 - whakamole: esp when ultimately that benefits the people who do
2011-07-31 11:13:20 - whakamole: (like you.
2011-07-31 11:13:23 - whakamole: and me.)
2011-07-31 11:14:29 - whakamole: also, from a logistics standpoint, no one bothers to read the ranting of the guy who posts eight lines of denigrating crap
2011-07-31 11:14:32 - whakamole: except me :)
2011-07-31 16:14:33 - Dukasaur: and me
2011-07-31 16:14:40 - Dukasaur: :)
2011-07-31 16:41:11 - macbone: whak, I have a professed interest in people playing better Escalating =)
2011-07-31 16:41:43 - macbone: And I don't know about you, man, but I take no joy in games being thrown through bad play. Except, as you say, if it benefits me =)
2011-07-31 16:42:29 - macbone: But I'd rather have a great game that's won by skill and strategy - that's what keeps me coming back to the site =)
2011-08-01 05:22:46 - whakamole: gga
2011-08-01 05:23:02 - whakamole: and, to conclude the conversation mac, fair points
2011-08-01 05:23:10 - whakamole: i just dont like my secrets being uncovered ;)
2011-08-01 05:36:42 - geko: gg
2011-08-01 05:39:08 - geko: I knew it was risky taking that red, didn't think you could get him.
