This is a huge unfair advantage for players that know each other. Not his fault he curses at stupid players who aren't there to have fun |

at 11:21 AM, Monday November 26, 2007 EST endgame farming (best example - a guy who has been 6th/7th all game but is too dumb to flag is still in after the winner has beaten down second - the winner then sits and refuses to finish off either, forcing 2nd to flag for 3rd to save points) is absolutely wrong is justly called out. Judicious management of the board so that folks don't feel they've lost too soon and flag and always attacking the biggest opponent, may be "farming" but it is entirely reasonable.
Now, in this case, nonumber has already shown himself elsewhere to be one of the duller knives in the kdice drawer, so I think we can comfortably say that there was no foul here. |

Don't hope in that. Farming is still possible in the new version. |

at 1:02 PM, Monday November 26, 2007 EST It’s totally unfair. Take this example:
3 players left with the number of territories as follows: 1st – 15 2nd – 8 3rd – 2 The first place player keep on attacking the 2nd place one until he/she is down to 2-3 territories. If you were the 2nd player, do you flag and give the one with 2 territories 2nd? Is 3 place player deserve to be 2nd by hiding? Assuming the 2nd and 3rd place player are far apart and so the 2nd player cannot kill of the 3rd. Farming is not unethical, but it’s definitely evil in my opinion. The last release has gotten rid of the phoenix and ninja problem, and PGA has largely reduced. I hope Ryan make some changes to the end game in the Dec. 1 release to eliminate this kind of unhealthy game play. It makes the game not fun at all. |

What a combination! If someone want to farm then flag and run. If they have any honour then they'll still dish the places out reasonably "fairly". Perhaps dom should be fixed after, say, round 20. |
