my interpretation, is when a player attacks a number of times, while leaving themselves very vulnerable, then flagging; hoping other people wont attack.

I'd say it's a ninja when someone attacks every territory in sight, making themself incredibly weak and spread out, then flags for second/third etc, and whines about "not respecting flags" if they are attacked.

ninja flags happen still because there is a population of kdicers, who, when they are in 1st place and going to win, believe that flags should ALWAYS be respected.

this happened to jpc the other night. he was consistently in 3rd, fighting against 4th. 1st and 2nd were 80% decided. 5th joined jpc to take down 4th. 4th won a few rolls at the right time (i.e. just as 1st/2nd battle was over, and 2nd flagged). 1st looked at the board, and saw that the 4th person had spread out and flagged 3rd (he had to do this if he wanted any shot at 3rd). instead of realizing that jpc/5th wouldve beaten their opponent down eventually, he just saw, hey someone is flagged 3rd, i cant attack them. the old 5th happened to be 4th at the time and flagged (to jpc, cus he wanted jpc 3rd). 1st saw, oh 4th is flagged. oh jpc is the only unflagged. he demanded jpc to flag, and jpc was like, srsly??? then 1st pwnd him, and he got 5th.

that was a long story. to sum up: ninjas are still (rarely) possible, given the fact that the eminent winner respects flags over empty territories (i.e. they will reward a 6/20 more than a 4/32, if that makes sense).

sucks to be 4/32 sometimes.

Very well explained, Monte. I have noticed that Monte respects flags if one of his circle jerkers has 6/20, or respects a fair battle if one of his circle jerkers has 4/32.

Monte is the king of finding fine tuned arguments that sound legitimate so he can give his friends good placement (he could have attacked me in round 3 but didnt).

Anyway it is a valuable and useful and legitimate skill to politicize your behavior this way. Monte is very skillful and talented.

people are retarded and want to hang on to old sayings.

call it something else, it's not ninja flagging.

I agree with MT. Ninja flagging was only around when your attack to steal place and subsequent flag ended the game.

I guess I would call this style flaggotry.
