The forum blows lately. I guess I'm the only one with any creative juices left.. haha

Here's one (of the hundreds) of mine -

Couple months ago I was in a game with riser, pinkgirl, and someone I cant remember. Musta been someone not as talented and known as riser, or as known and goodlookin' as pnkgirl.. anyways.

Board Layout = a horizontal rectangle, more or less. I'm blue in the bottom left. Riser is red in the north. Pinkgirl is purple in the east. Someone of little consequence is in the bottom right.

Riser and I are tied for first and being civil, but not allied and moving east.. eating poor pinkgirl and mopping up weak territories of the 5-7th place losers. I build up + dice while riser keeps at it.

Suddenly, in one move, I attack 5 times and 4 punch through, a massive cut-fest with 3 major arteries severed. Teal flags, being over purple, but WAY thin, whereas purple has 8 stacks. Riser fights back to link, but I tear into purple, cutting purple 2x into thirds.

Cussing ensues, followed by "I would have flagged to you.." but now we have an epic battle going on. I'm the clear leader, but EVERYONE on the board is gunning for me. Suddenly teal has a 4 land empire but attacks me every chance. Red connects a little bit again up north into a 5 land empire and cuts me a little.

Every single battle from then on out was a cut or a sweet reconnect. It was epic. We even said.. wow, this game is pretty epic (at the time). The two or three viewers said they never saw anything quite like it.

So I took on three players, a 4 land empire of 8 stacks, a 7 land empire of 8 stacks and a 10 land empire all of 8 stacks, though highly cut up.

Turn after turn the tide kept changing. Pinkgirl looked like she might kill me, then I did an overcut, reconnecting deeper into her lines. Then red reconnected, so I had to turn my attention back to severing, otherwise he would soon be a massive threat at the core of my empire. Meanwhile teal had no natural challenge so he just picked a land here and there but I didnt have the time or resources to dedicate to stop the front.

eventually, by sheer will and a little luck, cut after cut, reconnect after disconnect, the mighty blue empire stood strong. Flags went up, and I said put them down.

Teal had a 2 land empire and was meaningless all game, I said, I refuse to let him place over you two valiant fighters.

(this was back when the scoring was all by place)

So, (mind you, the two of them are still fighting me) I keep cutting them while focusing on a now-6 land teal empire and mowed em down to 1. Finally flags were raised.

84 rounds of battle came to a dramatic conclusion...

It was the single most thoroughly enjoyable victory of my kcareer.

Mightly Grun's blue carried the day, riser 2nd, pink 3rd, teal 4th.
