I used to love playing dice wars, but once I got good enought to beat the computer every time, I started wishing for a multiplayer version ... then I found kdice. It seemed great at first (if a little ugly due to the color choices.)

I've been playing a bit on and off, getting yelled at for refusing to "truce" or do what higher-ranked people say to do, which seemed odd. And now I'm sitting here watching squiggy rack up points by keeping the remaining 3 players down to 1 square each. He won't kill them off, and of course they can't overcome him, and each round gives him a few more points. What a silly scoring system! I'm not blaming squiggy -- he understands the system and is just gaming it for the points. Seems like this, as well as "teaming up" is the standard strategy. :(

He has no reason to finish off the game so we can play another, so he sits there milking it as long as those last two suckers will stay in game. Is this an intentional "feature" of this game? Or did someone totally overlook basic gaming principles?

It's really a shame that the only multiplayer implementation of this great game is so easily exploitable for POINTS, to the point where games aren't really fun, because everyone is teaming up or milking POINTS. Just my $0.02, have fun point farmers!
