Got bored - so decided to make the XML anyways...

I need to do the army centreing but otherwise - the rest is done.

This is my first time looking at this map and I like it. Nicely done graphics and ...

The problem is that Pampa and Lubbock have their map coordinates swapped. So Towakwa does connect to Lubbock, it's just that Lubbock's armies are shown in the Pampa army circle.

Thanks for the reminder. Claiming my reserved spot and changing my settings:

Tie-breaker update:
I had good fortune with the drops and the dice, which lead to victory in my games against Emmaspoppy.

Looking forward to the playoffs!

Thank you to the organizers, amazzony & simor !

And congratulations to all the participants and glorious winners!

On the subject of Risktaker17 's achievement, special commendation is certainly due, but I voted no to awarding overall 1st place. I'm not entirely clear on the particular honor and ...

I'm going to admit that I didn't understand all of the OP, but it sounds like a good time.

Please sign me up.

I agree the map can be confusing at first, but that's fine because once you get used to it, the complexity makes for good gaming.

Are you using BOB, the greasemonkey UI enhancement? If not, try it out. It makes the attack-defense connections much clearer.

I know it must be a lot of work to run this tournament. Thank you for keeping it going. Just the effort in sending out the invites is impressive - I'm told "We've reserved a place for you in Division 7."

I like the way territories are connected on Crossword. You can move quickly across the map and visualizing the attacks is different from most maps - you have to gang up from parallel words and keep track of the almost leap-frog nature.

Congratulations CairnsWK,

The map looks great! I've been busy with other things, but you guys are putting out some fantastic maps. Of course I agree with the calls for some method of beta testing. That's how s/w gets developed, someone has to test it before release. I said it last time and it ...

I've been too busy the past month to keep up with the Forum, so I was happily surprised to see this map appear in the Game Finder.

I think it looks great! I really like the way the regions got named after actual "explorers," though Carter is the only one I recognize. As much as I like that change ...

I was lost by the tournament changes, but now I'm found.

I have joined my 4 Division 8 home games.

That is all.

I'll agree to disagree with your point on the advantages of having a "stack" to position after deadbeating. I still believe this can be countered - or at least massively offset by the free attack phase the other players are given.
Hey, thanks! Here's a player with whom I can have a discussion ...

The last thing that I want to do is create more work for you. I still feel a bit bad for mentioning my confusion over the cities and then seeing how much more work that created. It seems, though, that some of Lupo's suggestions could be implemented without a lot of extra work. I suspect that ...

[...] The formula could be a little more complex. For example, it might include some or all of these components: ⋅  Miss 3 consecutive turns and you're out, overrides everything else.
⋅  Miss a turn, get a strike.
⋅  3 strikes and you're out.
⋅  Clear a ...

First, I want to say
Yay, yorkiepeter!
I think the league is going great!
I also want to say
Yay, everyone sending out alerts and updating stats and whatnot!

Obviously, a lot of people have stepped up to help organize the huge number of games. I looked through the thread a bit and did not ...

My suggestion would be to make it so that if you miss 3 turns in a game (and they don't have to be consecutive) then you're out. It may be tough for those longer games, but it will provide some incentive to play the game as it was meant to be. While it's a valid tactic, I don't consider it to be an ...

Hi gimil,

Please don't take any of the following recommendations as things that you have to do . They are merely suggestions that I think would help a few elements match the rest of your beautiful map.

And while I certainly don't speak for KEYOGI, I suspect that he had the same sentiment in ...

While I prefer the dots to the current style of dashed lines, I think that overall it's a fine choice. The solid vs dashed lines define the continents nicely. The updated arrowheads, above, look good.

I just want to make a quick comment on this: Mmmm...what to chose?
Mmmm...the Cartographers ...

Yes, after 24 hours you lose your turn. Do it 3 times in a row, get kicked out of that game. BUT - if they come back after missing 1 or 2 turns, they get 2 or 3 times the number of armies to deploy.

Just to clearify- 3 people , Standard, Freestyle , no cards, fort. unlimited

<Spits out some tobacco juice> Well, that's yer problem right there...

My method is mentioned above: concentrate on reducing their payout. The first thing I do is a little 'background' check on their other games ...

Legitimate cheating is really difficult on this site...

The card hack program that i wrote just has too many bugs when playing flat rate... so don't even try right now with flat rate games, and never ever with only 2 or 3 player games. Anyway, for those who haven't seen it yet, I'm reposting the ...
