about smaller games turning into holo-fests:

And larger games don't?

with smarter/more experienced players, larger games don't turn into holo-fests because they understand that they need to save their cards in order to win in the long run. So no, larger games don't.

Well not everyone is smart and experienced!! In fact, very little players meet those criteria!!!!

Even still, most people I've encountered on this game have a grasp of short term v. long term - meaning, in smaller games, you only need to think of a quick kill while in larger games, you need to think of the long haul.

PS. 1) exclamation marks really help your argument. you should include a few thousand more; 2) "very little players"? -- are there midgets in this community? MIDGET TOSS!!!

Personally a 4 person game, played correctly, is the best of both worlds. The two people fighting top vs bottom, regardless of teams declared, is like 2 one on one games going on at the same time. Then the winners of these two games face off to take it all. It requires strategy in winning quickly yet efficently enough in order to have enough for the final person.

In 5, 6 player games, I usually play all out, eliminating the desired targets and then just taking the rest as it comes. I never worry about stock piling an army and go into hiding while the other people do the fighting. But the passive players usually end up losing anyways.

And as a side note, any game that reaches high alignment sucks.

sorry zz, but your lack of exclamation marks invalidates the above argument.

!!!1!!eleventy for teh win!!!

P.S. He thinks he is USCF 1600+

MathWiz20 · March 29, 2006, 12:23:39 AM

Bout three years ago I used to play under USCF...then I quit because high school took up too much time.

Back then my rating was 1456...but I've gotten better now

cDigital · March 29, 2006, 06:25:30 AM

Mathwiz20 I left you a PM

MathWiz20 · March 29, 2006, 11:07:05 PM

Yep got it I'm saving the website

OK, I just had the most bullshit game.

I started an onslaught on some noobs un-upgraded commander.

Turn 1. Flying Slime failed the kill
Turn 2. Flying Slime failed again
Turn 3. Flying Slime, Laser Robot (melee attack and ranged), Acid Spitter (melee and ranged) all failed.
Turn 4. Spitter and commander 5 str attack failed. Then he attacks my commander with his (5 str), AND I DIE!!

WHAT A BIG FUCKING SURPRISE.

Let's calculate the probability of me not killing him in all of those turns

50%*50%*50%*50%*33%*50%*20%*50%*50%

Which is 0.0520833333333333...%
