@dawgoneit if anybody is interested and don’t want to mess with your ranking i’ll play.

I’ll play you again. :)

We can take it from here by PM.

Looking for a game. Preferably BM. And with tier 1 or E opponents.

@farmboy I’m game if you haven’t found someone already.

@Adam514 I’m definitely looking forward to a rematch but can’t just yet. AD has already offered so he is first on the list from tier M, but I want to get one more game with someone at tier 1 or E before I go up against either of you guys.

Actually you can put Adam ahead of me if you can only accept one of us. I have a few games going while I think he doesn’t have anything on his plate, so would be better if he gets to go first.

Looking for some competition. E or higher, BM3, dice, and you may choose side and bid.

I’m also up for another game.

Can’t go Axis-Dom because we have our quota. Preferably tier 1 or E.

We played 3 games so far, can we throw in another one

Wow it’s been 4 days and still no takers. This would be the first time I’ve really had any trouble finding good competition. We have lost a lot of great players over the years, and sadly that trend seems to be continuing. With all the myriad gaming options available these days, maybe we just haven’t been doing enough to market and recruit for the league, or the game in general. I know that in the past the stronger players have said they have a tough time keeping up with competitive or master-level play, expressing that it feels more like work than fun. Maybe they are too serious and agonizing over every move and detail? Personally I really enjoy the tougher competition and do not find it much work at all, but then again I am one of the most experienced players around.

Anyway, I guess I should open up to any tier 1 takers then.

I would be up for a game for the right bid for the allies

I think there might be many reasons. One is definately BM for me. Game lasts MUCH longer. I have one game now that was started about a year ago and is currently in round 33 or so. So clearly not fast pase, but breaks are needed when you play that long. In any case it is not that much fun either when games never complete. Too much money for everyone I think

It’s interesting because when BM first came out the games were shorter for a while. I can see a link with more income and longer games though. Moscow living longer really lengthens the game.

WHAT!? AD going without? Let shame fall upon our heads! I’d be playing more but work is and will continue to kick my ass at least until March next year…

and moscow is still alive in my game at round 33 (has not been down either)

Sure giallo, let me know how much you want and I’ll see it up.

Maybe games last longer because it’s more balanced :thinking_face: .

18 for the allies?

Sure message me what you want placed and I’ll start it up tomorrow sometime.

@Adam514 Lol I think balance is probably part of it but the higher income makes the games more complex too which can lengthen it (and lengthen the time it takes for some of us to decide on our move). And I suspect I’ve been the other opponent in 2 of the longest games of the year (including the one with Oysteilo) so it might just be that I’m ruining things. :)
