I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate "sandigeo" on miraculously coming back to life in game #24290034 after I killed him and took away all of his spoils 2 days ago.

And of course - congratulations to myself for planning to kill him a 2nd time.

Congrats also to the owners of this ...

That reply was lightning fast. Hey - why not look at my other suggestion about 2 player games.

The response so far, has been underwhelming.

I want to change my username also. But for free.

What if - everyone just gets issued with a random user number which is visible to others and can't be changed. But the username can be changed every so often and of course the system would remember foes etc automatically. And when you first sign up ...

Asking for a friend here:

Is anyone else familiar with 2 player Risk including 4 x 'active neutral' armies?

It's definitely a thing, but maybe in New Zealand they gave us a superior set of rules to play by. I have the boardgame and the actual rulebook in case you're wondering.

Thanks TeeGee that pretty much answers my question.
Therefore I will immediately cease and desist from asking for a bad rating.
I love this game for some reason.
Thanks again.

Your stats are impressive Donelladen. I would love to see your scalp in my trophy cabinet one day.

Yes it's weird - I know that. 1st place in bad ratings is a type of achievement though.
Thanks for replying, but I feel like that answer wasn't really definitive.
You see its like this: I don't want to get banned for soliciting bad ratings.
That being said - I've been going thru other people's ...

Question from a noob here:
