You're in first place & it looks like you're going to win, but there's still a few other people at the table.
How do you decide who gets 2nd/3rd/4th? Here are various suggestions: 1. Tell the people who have caused you the most trouble that you will wipe them out first 2. Herd people together and let them fight for supremecy 3. Tell everyone to pick a number. Closest to your number gets to live Those are just a few things that I've seen cut down on the "but I deserved" whining. Let me know what your other ideas are, because no one likes a whiner. |

at 8:59 AM, Monday January 8, 2007 EST Why no-one does like a winner? You can´t lose?
If the winner made a fair game, he´ve got al my respect... But how to decide who will be 2nd, 3rd, 4th... Of course my alies will get the good places! According to their Territories, when they go to flag. And then I will decide the rest - who is the biggest risk for me? Who was calm? Who needs my respect ´cause a good fight (also if he fight against me!!)... So there are enough things to decide subjective. And in the end I will attack them one after the other, turn by turn. And if one has good luck with his dices, it´s the next one... |

he said no one likes a whiner not a winner... if i win without an alliance then i attack everyone equally... let faith decide. so far most people got this and appreciated it. |

* Animated first * ugly or unapproperiate avaters * normal avatars * beautiful woman (not naked) * cute cats last. |

at 4:30 PM, Monday January 8, 2007 EST I agree with dice_horst, if there is no alliance attack everyone equally, let luck decide. There are exceptions to that though, sometimes it is noticeable that one player has played a better game than another player and I will go with that. I always try to take out away players first, but only if he/she has left the room. And if its possible I will let the other players decide 2nd, 3rd, etc. When it comes down to it someone can whin all they want, I don't care it doesn't bother me. I'm used to it. I deal with it at work all the time. Whining is ok, personal attacks, that's crossing the line. If you insult me, you will go first.

at 5:05 PM, Monday January 8, 2007 EST I ignore all of the above, and if I have a few players at my mercy with one territory left, I eliminate them based on rating, highest first. That way,the points even out, because at that time, whoever you allied with ore who you are pissed off at shouldn't matter. An even ending of points is the most logical idea.
-But, the one who is most irritating is always a pleasure to get rid of first :) |
