I've been very sceptical to 1v1 games, as whoever begins would normally have an advantage over whoever goes 2nd. Somehow I've been able to break that tradition in the tournament, although not outside it. Don't ask me why that is, because I don't understand it.


Some maps going first heads up can be a huge advantage in my experience (Doodle Earth I am looking at you). Sometimes though I don't mind going second as it gives me a chance to see how my opponent is playing (Is he/she going for a region, or all out against me). I also second the notion that the games don't take too long, in fact most of the games I have been lucky enough to play RT (which is a huge boon to me as a freemium).

That being said, I look forward to facing some of the more well known CC players down the road if my luck and strategies hold out.

So far, weve been losing close to 20 % each round. This may come down a bit for round 3, but Ill bet you even odds that we still lose 200+ players. Thats not really numbers to cause anyone to panic over the format... ;-)

Well I've got some guy asking me if I've already won a game, presumably to ask me to throw the one I am playing against him.

I'd love more arms race game opportunities if possible.

I'd rather donate my spot on the bounty game to one of my friends, but they are all offline now. If Night Strike does not join it in the next 15 hours, I could seek a replacement, if that's ok. ;)

Ok--you have been dropped and I remade the game--let me know who you are giving this opportunity to and I will invite them. Very nice of you.

wow--the freemiums must be sleeping. The guessing game to win one year membership has no players yet

I'm not going to go for it unless I already have a win. Or any bounty for that manner. The bounty players are too good, and I'm pretty clearly lost in one of my two ongoing games right now barring beautiful dice!

You can consider your Canada game a win.

no problem--I can see you are not a betting man :) One year premium if you win though

Well I am off to bed soon--I will check the 1-100 game for freemiums only in the morning. I am almost done responding to pm's so I will get to the thread tomorrow as well

37 was not right

Do I only get one guess? If not...82. If so, then oh well, it was worth a shot :mrgreen:

I will guess 31, but it does sound like you could just make 100 posts until you got it right ;). I won't do that though.

well, if you can do multiple guesses, I COULD flood the thread, but that would be unsportsmanlike. And kinda rude. And disrespectful. As such, I will post a second guess as some are doing, in case they count. 13 (my lucky number)
