its bad karma from pge-ing me a few months ago. it'll go away by 2014.

lesson learned: never pge monte.

answer: it's more difficult to win against a PGA gang

better players?

At the lower tables it's still playing the lottery but over half the numbers are winners there instead of 1/7 of them

It's mostly PGA. The people at 1k+ usually sit around, truce, cry, and only attack the new people.

TRUE.

Seconded.

if it makes you feel better to blame things on pgas ... keep on doing it ... its rather childish and transparent ... but go ahead

It's not really PGAs in my opinion. I've seen players make strategy mistakes left and right and then complain about bad luck. I'm talking about scenarios like these:

A player moves a 6-piece toward the center of his connected territories, exposing his weak borders to attack a one-piece. Loses a 3 v 3 on next turn. Must be bad luck. No, he would have had a 5+ piece border if he would have done the original 6 v 3, instead of wasting that 6-piece to go inward against a one-die country. I kid you not. Saw this just the other day.

Also, one guy has 16+ connected units and two others truce against him with 7-9 units apiece. The little guys will complain that the big guy is getting luckier rolls. The reason is because having more connected countries allows him to make more attacks per turn. People don't remember all the losses big guys get, and in general, seem to remember their own bad rolls more than the good ones.

_o/_, Beals, how many games have you played in a 1000 table this month?
