Maybe because it was funny! :-D
I love my new paint brush…

You laugh because you are weak.
…and also because it was funny.
BTW - This is CrazyStraw/themarvinmartian here. I’ve been out of the pool for a while, but it looked like fun so I’ve come back. Everyone seemed to have changed names, so I thought I’d be a joiner.
Egads! Another Orson Scott Card ID!
Now Jennifer just has to change her name to Bugger Queen…

Petra,
And I refuse to change my name to Commander Petra until the Bad Karma that goes up incrementally daily stops. :P Tired of getting +1 bad karma EVERY FRACKIN DAY by the same person with a vendetta.

Oh, I like the bugger queen.
Oo yaaa.
Holy shnikies, did I get -1 Karma within 30 seconds of posting my first message? Gotta be a record. Make the trophy BIG.
Card: Jennifer could also be Jane, given the amount she is online :-D
And then there was that whole topic thing being discussed, Bids: They’re creeping up in my circle. We haven’t seen south of 11 in a looong time. And if we’re playing 2 simultaneous boards with sides reversed, we’ll set a 14 bid for all boards. Axis are about 50-50 in those situations (but with a very small number of trials).
Peace
Good thing I gave you +1 for the Card reference!
Interesting about the high bids - do you have any restrictions re: placement?
It is NOT me giving out the bad Karma.
Heh heh. Honestly, it never crossed my mind, Switch :-D
By the way, I was poking around Daak a couple weeks ago and I saw you had climbed pretty high in the standings. Nicely done!
For Ender: The bid system we use is the Caspian Sub system, 1pc/territory, cash allocated however you want. We have four common things that happen with the bid: break the Russian Triple by putting a unit somewhere in Europe, N. African piece or two, Med Transport, or Frindo/KWA combo. It depends on what gambit we’re trying out.
Peace
I had reached 7th, about this time last year, then had a run of bad luck in a number of games. And losses hurt a lot more than wins help at DAAK.
Since most folks here no longer play or record games at DAAk though, it is even harder to gain points there, since most players on this site are not recording all of their wins there and thus have lower point totals.

What’s the Russian Triple?
I am guessing Belo/WR/Ukraine… a hell of a risky triple though…
Switch on Daak: Quite stout nonetheless.
Russian Triple: The Russian Triple is attacking WRU, BEL, and UKR all on R1. You should win all three about 52% of the time, with the worst outcomes being mitigated by either occuring in WRU or occuring in UKR where you can withdraw.
Typically in our group, Axis players are quite happy to break a Triple possibility with a bid, and Allied players are quite happy to have it broken so they don’t have to risk the dice :-D It’s a pretty big wild card early in the game.
Most often it’s broken with a unit in BEL, occasionally in UKR depending on some minor factors.
Peace
The Russian triple is R1: Norway, WRU and Ukr. Removes 2 G ftrs about 50% of the time.
I tried it twice, both in LL games. It worked in the first game, not in the second, just ask Bean :P
This brings back the subject of this thread, what’s the consensus on a standard bid? :?
6-8, depending on the players. unrestricted placement.
