Kdice Culture Change

I played lot back in September 2007 and I've just returned for a few games here 1.5 years later.

Interesting observation is that the culture of the game seems to have changed. The new flagging behaviour reduces the value of corner bases.

In the past with a base in the corner you could hold out while players in the middle were consumed by the victor.

Now instead those players flag to the victor, and you're to die as the "weakest" player.

I'm not so sure this is a positive development.

Funny thing is, you're the bad guy if you attack the round 2 "I flag".

@ Kreuz:
Define early flagging. For me flags after round 5 are absolutely okay (most of the positions are obvious by then anyway). The fact that you are only able to flag after round 8, is what makes the game retarded atm.

@ BlackHorizon:
(In my opinion,) There has never been something like a kdice culture. There have been various changes over the years. Some of them were good and some of them were bad.

People had to adapt to those changes and were too busy to develop a "kdice culture". After a period where you had to be very good at playing tournaments, you now must play a shitload of games due to a massive point inflation Ryan introduced in February.

"

i was just stating that people have been whining on the forums for the last 9 months, complaining about early flagging. I did not reflect my oppinion on the matter at all. But if I am to share my oppinion; I think it is bad play, but then i have taken the opportunity to take advantage of it. scoring higher %1st in the last months than ever before (3 of the last 4 months i have had more than 35% wins). so if they play bad, and I take advantage, i think it is ok :)

Okay. Now I see your point.

I try to counter early flags calling them truces - people get mad at that sometimes. But i still think it's basically a truce if someone accepts an early flag.
