no more late comebacks?

I understand the idea of killing off players with a score of -15, to prevent them from turtling with one 8-stack and steal second place, but I have an issue with it's implementation. Gone is the strategy of capitalizing on others' mistakes late in the game, as it's usually too late. Anyone else get what I'm trying to say?

at 5:47 PM, Wednesday September 5, 2007 EDT I'm not talking about coming back with one stack... I'm talking about when you finally start to build up, if you're too late, you're SOL. As in, you can end up getting 3rd, with a good number of territories, but still lose a large chunck of points... more often so than before, at any rate.

If you're not in the lead, your desire is to take out your closest competition. So... late comebacks are still very possible provided first place is able to protect/truce a weak player. |
