Point. Click. Win.

I may think about more specific advice, but here are Cleo’s general rules:

- don’t complain about being attacked;
- don’t apologize for attacking other players;
- don’t blame lack of luck (after many games bad and good luck evens up);
- play to win whenever you may;
- always be ready to risk;
- don’t use bad language;
- be friendly, but don’t exagerate;
- always keep you word;
- love other players, but remember your goal is to win;
- don’t lose patience;
- make the most even of the difficult situation;
- try to predict what others may do and what they may think.

-If you see no solution in the beginning, just skip a turn.
-If you're losing dominance, try some risky moves, better something than nothing.
-If there are 3 or more players left in the end, with full 8-stack fields, don't make the first move but wait.
-Study the probability charts, don't try too many 4 vs 3's, they tend to fail a lot.

Cleo - it's nice to see your lovely face! Sorry, I will write sth for Xmas.

Also, I totally agree with your remarks. Apart from that, I think the 'winning gracefully' from the kdice wiki is widely unknown, even though it's extremely important.

I do think that you (Ryan) should write sth about the social side of the game, that it's important, but it's also important that friends engage in some friendly fighting - so that they don't pga.

And that the aim of the game is really to have fun - so do unexpected things from time to time - even if that means less points. I really think that the points are over-rated.

Merry Xmas everybody!

Oh, and you should write that kdice really means 'kamikaze dice' ...

can you make sure you put down PGA is cheating?

adding to cleo's already great list:

1. no abusive, racist comments
2. no porn avatars
3. no spanning of any kind
4. no community accounts
5. truces should be made in the chat box to avoid the illusion of PGA
6. no personal attacks

- don’t blame lack of luck (after many games bad and good luck evens up);

lol. I'll refute that :)

A few more that seem to be missing from the above:
- hold a grudge
- harass other players
- attack people you are pissed at, even if you know it won't help you
- play with multiple accounts
- if you loose smack your computer a few times
- post about all the people that have offended you

and most of all have fun!

Basic Kdice strategy by MHS:

-At the end of your turn you get extra dice equal to the greatest number of connected lands you have. For this reason early it is helpful to focus on 1 "base" and only expand in another area in attempt to hurt another players start or suicide a stack.
-Know the odds but don't expect rolls to always win. Be prepared with a back-up plan if that 7v4 loses early on.
-USE THE CHAT BOX, this is social game as well as a game of luck if you like it or not and getting to know you opponents is the first step to defeating them.
-Rolling a 2v3 or 3v4 is not lunacy but should not be expected to win and should not be the key to your victory.
-Expand aggressively but at the same time be judicious with who you attack. Unless you know the intentions of each player playing yo can expect that attacking everyone might encourage everyone to attack you back, think about it, and trust me it makes sense. This is another reason to use the chat box, to determine friend from foe.
-Peoples words are only as good as the text that makes them up. Being a backstabber earns you a bad reputation that can be hard to overcome.
-Play to win, but know when to flag. Don't sit in a donate points if you can't improve. That 7th will be worth more then a bad 6th so don't be affraid to cut your loses.

Kissy Rule 1: Usually the nicer you are to people, even without a formal truce, the nicer they are back.

Kissy Rule 2: If they aren't nice back, attack them without mercy until they are dead.

Kissy Rule 3: Connecting across the map is usually suicidal but can be fun (especially when Rule 2 applies)
