oops.

Maybe you should lose less points progressively, depending on what position you finish in.

So first eliminated loses the most, last eliminated loses the least, percentage wise.

I think all losers should lose some points, but a sliding scale might add some interest to games where you get a bad ...

There's advantages and disadvantages to it, so it's a fair strategy. You should be aware that they are missing turns and therefore are able to be prepared.

It would be good if they could hit a skip turn button so they don't hold others up though.

As I have said before the rolls are fine.

The reason it seems like your luck is suspiciously bad sometimes is that you don't see other peoples bad luck when they roll (since it doesn't show you other peoples failed attacks in the log). Having nothing to compare it to makes your own bad luck seem ...

It seems wikipedia is the gateway to conquer club!

Defense being powerful is counteracted by cards making attack powerful, worthwhile, and absolutley nesessary!

I'd say India is the best, followed closely by SE asia.

Japan and the Phillipines are ok, but you have trouble expanding from them compared to the other 2.

itunes has lots of options though - just a simple and clever interface.

If you want simple, why don't you have a "Quickstart" game button with typical options (Classic map, freestyle- no double turns, 6 players, escalating) for casual players, and advanced options for powerusers (who are more ...

Yeah, but dood, Budda, could just SIT on any of those other noobs and they'd be like, totally fubar'd. And you don't even want to hear about what he could do with his enlightened flatulence.

Plus the dood is a chick too, so he's also like your mom, and could just like send you to your room or ...

I reckon there should just be a time limit on turns (1 hour?). There are too many potential abuses/problems otherwise.

Pretty interesting that out of 18 votes, not one person has voted for the current solution! (kicked after 4 turns).

Also, your dot should be red if the game is set to "no double turns", and you are currently unable to take a turn because doing so would give you a double turn.

The neutral player should keep cards. If you don't let people surrender they will just become deadbeats.

Hey Lackattack, convinced yet?

Like it says. Lackattack asked me to make a poll so here it is.

How many turns do you think deadbeats should be kicked after?

Should they be auto kicked if they miss the first turn? This would eliminate all "total deadbeats" (players who never make a turn) straight away.

Or should there be an ...

I agree it might be too harsh as a blanket rule.

However, it should be an option when you start a game, so veterans can choose not to play with first turn deadbeats. This would get rid of an awful lot of "total" deadbeats right off the bat, making people less frustrated overall, and with an ...

[MOD EDIT: This is a repository for all suggestions that would have players kicked out of a game for missing the first turn. This includes suggestions that would have this rule be applicable only to new recruits.

For other missed turn suggestions, see here .

If you see any suggestions that ...

What if they decide to start and not play, thus locking you out.

You'd have to have a limit on turn time (1hour?).

I agree.

I also think that a (deadbeat) player missing a turn shouldn't count as the last player in a round. At the moment if you are the last active player who takes their turn in a round, you can effectively get a double turn - because the deadbeats turn will always come after you.

This ...

Stuff like that happens in real Risk all the time. With this many dice rolls, unlikley things start becoming likley to happen. That's why it's called Risk . There's always a Risk the dice will be against you and your master plan will be foiled! You have to know when to change plan and stop attacking ...

It's a toss up between Buddha and Matt Damon's left foot, but I went for Buddha because he's like Mr Myagi, Yoda and some funny fat dude all rolled into one, and if he got into trouble he'd just be like "Whatever dOOd, I got enlightenment suck it nyah nyah" and be all serene and stuff and you can't ...

It's a good idea to be able to set number of deadbeat turns before auto kick in game options.

It would be helpful if there was a checkbox "don't wait for my turn" - so that if all players that haven't played in the current round have this box checked, the game increments to the next round.

This would mean that players who are active but deliberatley skipping turns to accumulate armies ...

hold on - you want to be able to spoil somebody else's game so you can have a new one? Doesn't seem like a good reason!

I knew I shoulda stayed up last night to get my turn before you! I demand a rematch! (hope I get japan ;p)
