if you actually do not know the victory conditions, then i’m sorry but there’s nothing i can do for you because i asked you from the beginning how many games of second edition global you have played and you said many.  also, my entire strategy in the game was based on the ruleset we are playing under.

[hobo]

So what are you saying?  I lost?!  :cry:

that’s game hobo, since you cannot take back a pacific victory city before the end of R11.

gg, let me know when you are ready to start the bidding for game 2.

[hobo]

I actually did not know about that.  I always thought it was a combined count, not individual map count.  Also most of my games were not league and we always played until a capital was taken which usually resulted in concession.  So now I know  :lol:

I’ll take allies for 12.

You’d better read up on the 2nd edition rules, man.

It was combined 14 cities way back in out of the box version, but has been split map victory conditions for the Axis since at least Alpha3.

You weren’t even playing the right game  :roll:

[gamerman01]

How bizarre

[boldfresh]

I will take allies at 9

[hobo]

Dude, your stalking is scary  :roll:

Like I even care, this is a game.  I lost cuz I wasn’t caught up and boldfresh won cuz he was, congrats to him.

The only thing I found annoying so far is tripleA’s dice server is not truly random which I suspected right away but after watching enough dice there’s a strong case for it.  In another game my opponent just rolled 0 for 16.  For this to happen is basically winning the lotto.  TripleA’s dice server spits out strings instead of truly random independent dice.  This makes the game way too imbalanced when it’s already a heavily luck dependent.  No one probably likes it by now, but the forum dicing + abattlemap is really superior.

[boldfresh]

Honestly hobo I took my worst dicings from the forum dice.  I have found marti to be more average.  Anecdotal I guess but there you go.

[gamerman01]

It’s not stalking  :roll:
I already explained to you that once you post in a thread you always get notifications every time there’s a post, so I have to open it up to clear it out
I see some interesting comments and occurences, and I make an occasional comment.  If that makes me a stalker, that makes you weird and paranoid

I am close to Bold, so I was aware of your ignoring the Pacific and pretty clearly not even knowing the rules of the game.

Losers always say “it’s only a game”

[hobo]

I’ll go 8 then.

As for the dice server, maybe over a long game it averages, but the issue I highlighted is the way rolls are often bunched up.  It’s very noticeable when you see rolls of all lows or all highs.  I’ve rolled 3 6s a bunch of times already from just 3 dice, and the odds of that are like 1 in about 200 alone.  And like I said, my opponent rolling 0 for 16 should really never happen.  I’m just looking at things from a statistical viewpoint.

And for gamerman, do you comment on everyone?  Might want to check up on what stalker means.  And it is only a game.  Maybe for someone who apparently takes it more seriously, guess not.  I honestly don’t remember any of my games against you from years ago, but apparently you still remember some specifics  :wink:

[boldfresh]

I will go 6

[hobo]

Go ahead and take it.  I’m not familiar with setting things up so if you can do it that’s speed things up  :lol:

[boldfresh]

Ok tomorrow probably.  Dont go doing my neutral crush now k?  :wink:

[hobo]

np I was close to going out anyways so couldn’t do it until tomorrow.  like I said, it’s a weaker gambit imho compared to what the axis can do  :wink:

[boldfresh]

@hobo:

I know its what you said.  So just dont do it and we r good.  :wink:
