what if you could make it so only a certain amount of people could join your game, according to ranks. Ex. you could make it so Generals can't play in your game if you're a new recruit.

Good idea, but it has been suggested before and rejected.

P Gizzle · Post by **P Gizzle** » Thu Aug 24, 2006 10:17 pm

oh, why was it rejected?

I dont remember, let me find the page.

thanks iceman, but i still think we should try to get support. from what i understand lack doesnt want recruits to be left out of games. i think there should only be a max ranking, not a minimum

I personally dont like it. CC members should be allowed to play whoever they want whenever they want

So this idea doesnt apply to the top players on the scoreboard?

well it makes it unfair for lower ranks like myself to join a game and then find out once the game starts that im playin a colonel or a general

Well, what about the higher ranks that have to put up with deadbeats joining their games?

P Gizzle · Post by **P Gizzle** » Thu Aug 24, 2006 11:01 pm

well, i dont know. most high players are premiums and can create private games right? what do you think?

AK_iceman · Post by **AK_iceman** » Thu Aug 24, 2006 11:04 pm

Most of them are, but inviting everyone to your games is quite a hassle. If this idea was to be implemented, it would be best as an option, and with a minimum and maximum score for sorting players.

yeah you are right like you always are Iceman. i don't know it just bugs me when a captain or someone with a high rank joins my games cuz it's easy to take points from me. how does that prove one's high rank?

AK_iceman · Post by **AK_iceman** » Thu Aug 24, 2006 11:10 pm

Most high ranked players dont even join games, since they are premium they create most of their games so they can have the settings they want. If I could start all over with 1000 points, I would like to play higher ranked players all the time.
For one, you get more points when you win. Two, you feel really good when taking out higher ranked players. Three, for the most part they are reliable players and dont miss turns or deadbeat.

P Gizzle · Post by **P Gizzle** » Thu Aug 24, 2006 11:12 pm

yeah but for the most part thye are almost impossible to beat

I won 3 out of my 4 first games when I joined, there's no such thing as an impossible opponent, just keep trying.

I've got to agree with Ice...Personally, I'm proud to be a Captain after only 43 games. I wouldn't have gotten this far if I'd only played other new recruits or privates. For those that have actually played and understood the game of Risk before joining, it really shouldn't matter who you play. The dice rolls the same for everybody....

with a little weight in one end anything is possible.

In the start a game section we should be allowed to choose what level player we play.

For example, If you are a seargant you should be able to choose if you want people of the same standard to play you. Or you could have mixed standards or your standard and higher.

What do you think?

lackattack · Post by **lackattack** » Thu Sep 07, 2006 10:25 am

I don't think we should descriminate by rank. Could make joining a game very unpleasant for new players.

wicked · Post by **wicked** » Thu Sep 07, 2006 11:07 am

... and then no one would want to play with Private Lack. :lol:

2dimes · Post by **2dimes** » Thu Sep 07, 2006 12:12 pm

I thought there was a waiting list to mine points from private lack.
