Too many of you are scared to be vulnerable, and afraid to have fun.
3 players left, each with 33% of the board. One player thickly stacked, 2 others thin stacked. 5 players left, 2 four land empires of 8 stacks, 3 large players with hardly a clear leader. 1 huge leader as a snake through the middle of the board. Flags every time. This is pathetic. There is hardly anyone that strives to win the game, to forge an alliance when in dire straits, or fights with their backs to the wall. Large empires fall by the wayside with the right cuts.. but nobody has the gusto to try it? Where are the kwarriors of old? Show me Willam Wallace, show me a warrior. I'm really displeased with the kdice communitys tendency to be timid and conced so readily. Are many of you are scared to be vulnerable, and afraid to have fun? |

at 10:47 PM, Sunday June 1, 2008 EDT Sorry to dissapoint. But there are too many PGA fucks around. Truces will happen...flags nip possible truces in the bud before they occur. Though I hear what you are saying, too many people have been destroyed by PGA situations in the past. It makes some skittish. While fighting to win is the point...its absolute bullshit when two or three weaker players team up to take down the sure winner. So an etiquette has been established to coincide with the new flagging system. If gang rape is what you are looking for, the old flagging system is for you.
I have the opposite view of you, I believe that kdice is more fun in its present form. Some players have no balls, some are crazy, some are stupid, some are bright, some are brave, some are a mixture... but most of all, IF WE WERE NOT HAVING FUN, WE WOULD LEAVE!!! Peace |

so ture...... there is no best or worst way to play this game, and there is no best or worst time to flag. people do whatever they want to have fun, and the definition of fun differs from people to people.....some people find it fun to get the highest scores, some just don't care about scores at all..... so, all in all, there is no best way, or should-way, to do anything.......just let us play they way we like...... |

at 11:01 PM, Sunday June 1, 2008 EDT I guess I would just really like to see 1st place being weighted more heavily in points, perhaps 90% of all points to first, 7% to 2nd, 3% to 3rd, so that really, there's no point but to play to win.
Because many games now seem to be decided in 8 rounds or less.. yet last 30+ rounds while 2nd is decided.. (which isnt dramatic, really) |

Flags won't nip a pga in the bud...sorry. And when there is a truce, most of the time you can assume the truce will be respected before a flag will. |

at 11:44 PM, Sunday June 1, 2008 EDT Rowdy has a point... Maybe we could enable the "no flagging before round 5" rule or something?
Dom is not counted before round 3... Flags should not be possible before round 5. THAT would at least keep things interesting. |

at 3:36 AM, Monday June 2, 2008 EDT last month i had a game where 2 guys were flagged 2nd to me. i let them fight it out. but then they killed me.
of course i was like "aw my win" but after the game i said "well done guys, it was the right thing to do" it shouldnt be too easy to win a game. a lucky start shouldnt give you the win at once. Shev, hails to all true kwarriors (of old? no way, i dont even know these guys and i never saw them play) |

at 4:53 AM, Monday June 2, 2008 EDT I still say that July's and/or August's test server games were the best ones I've played in my kdice life.
Flagging for place was just a huge step back. And as long as it's in place many people will simply prefer a solid 2nd than a chance for 1st. |
