Just wanted to address this topic. I know half the replies will be witty remarks and insults. But I would like to find out what can be done about this.

Its becoming more and more common that 2 or 3 players with bad starts just hibernate in a corner while 2 or 3 other players fight it out. The winning leach will usually reduce everyones land to 1 and drains points until either people flag out, auto flag out, or wait for someone to get bored.

I think this kind of goes against the idea of the game and abuses the mechanics.

So then it comes down to flagging and loosing 40 or more points to 2-3 other players that just sat on one land the whole game. Especially with the larger point losses this becomes very frustrating and I have seen this happen now at least 3 to 4 times a day when I play.

Any ideas? Suggestions? Comments are welcome.
