Hey look guys, it's my opinion. If everyone likes the way it is then fine. It's all about the group not just about me. I was just wondering what other people's opinion's were.
Rogi, you have to chill out. You're getting way to excited for me. I'm outta here.

Look Rogi, I know it's random. When I open my game and I find that my countries are all close together which allows me to go after a continent faster and easier, vs when my countries that I'm given are spaced out all over the map making it more difficult. Your right, sometimes it's to my benefit ...

Anyway, we could talk about this for hours but unless the builders of this site actually can find a way to change the set up, at least letting us place our own armies, then talking will allow me to vent my frustrations and that's it. I guess.

1st of all I have been playing Risk for over 20 years and I also play once a week with some friends. I know how to play. But you just proved my point. Why should we start in a bad position? Why should we have to use tactics like placing all our men on one country and waiting for another player to be ...

I'm not getting offended easily, I just don't appreciate someone saying that my ideas suck without a valid reason. Thank you for giving me one, at least now I can respond. I'm not saying that my idea might work, it could, but there must be a way to do it. If people can actually build a site like ...

why is it fine? Great answer. This is a forum to discuss opinions and all you can say is.."it's fine" Why even bother saying anything at all. Maybe it's fine for you because you need luck to win. Imagine playing chess when every game is set up for you? Don't get me wrong, I know Risk is not chess ...

Doesn't it frustrate any of you when you open up a game for the 1st time and you know that you have a slim chance to win? That you will need the LUCK of the dice just to have a chance because the initial set up put you at a disadvantage?

I messed up? I "suck". Wow you impress me with your vast vocabulary. At least I am trying improve this game. If you don't like my ideas then instead of insulting me how about you give another suggestion? If you like the "placing of armies" idea then let's talk about that.

What I mean is instead of opening up each game at the start and praying that you have been GIVEN countries in good positions, each player would take his turn choosing a country then be allowed to place his armies, maybe 1 at a time or 2 at a time or all at once. The only difficulty would be to have ...

my opinion....if that persons armies stand in the way of you and another person you are trying to attack, then yes it would bother me. The person moving out of the way is facilitating your attack which could be called an alliance. In this game people should be capable of deciding their moves on ...

Here is my problem with this site...the reason the top players all play too many doubles is because singles is all about luck. On your site you never get to pick your own countries or decide how many men you put on each to start. So if you start out with bad countries and you get bad luck on the ...

[ MOD EDIT : The suggestion to allow players to manually select territories has been brought up many times. The suggestion has never been implemented primarily because it would take a long time for games to begin. Of course, the common response to this is that it would only be an option , and users ...

tks

when a player misses his turn 3 times and is kicked out...does he still lose points once the game is over?

OK....forget it. Now I just rolled like a star in a singles match. It's almost like it's all or nothing with this game. Either you roll great or you roll badly.

in english please? One more thing...I find that when I play doubles my luck is awesome but in singles it's horrible...really. I know this sounds dumb but .......

Don't get me wrong, I know there is luck involved with the dice but how is it done? Is it completely random? In one game I had 8 men against one and lost, another game I had like 18 men against 2 and almost lost etc..etc.. It just seems that lately all the luck is against me. I'm just curious to ...
