Come Play Risk With Us

anyrose · #1 05-01-2008, 09:58 PM

There are a bunch of us playing at Conquer Club We have an opem game, # 2324822, a private game with the password sdmb
Won't you come join us?

ToeJam · #2 05-01-2008, 11:27 PM

How long do you guys play?

anyrose · #3 05-01-2008, 11:47 PM

The turns take up to 24 hours per, so a game can last weeks, but usually lasts a few days or so. Once you register there, go to the instructions section. It has 5 subsections that explains everything. There are 8, I think, maybe 7, of us who have been playing on that site since January. Personally, I love it.

ToeJam · #4 05-01-2008, 11:48 PM

nm. I got curious and joined.

anyrose · #5 05-01-2008, 11:49 PM

Coolio!

exclamation! · #6 05-02-2008, 12:27 AM

Yay! The game has begun!

Khampelf · #7 05-02-2008, 08:58 AM

Oh, hey. Far out. I'll be right over.

twickster · #8 05-02-2008, 09:47 AM

I signed up on the site (as "twickster," of course), but don't see how to join the game. I guess it's started already?

NAF1138 · #9 05-02-2008, 10:32 AM

Sounds fun, I will sign up. I love risk.

NAF1138 · #10 05-02-2008, 11:43 AM

I signed up for an account, but it looks like I shouldn't join a game until I get back from vacation. But I will join in then.

anyrose · #11 05-02-2008, 06:25 PM

Not to worry - I'll set up another one over the weekend

ToeJam · #12 05-03-2008, 01:28 AM

Your turn Anyrose.
I always tend to be online around 12-2am EST, so that's most likely the times that I'll be taking my turn unless I'm just bored and lurking on the Risk Boards, as this site looks really fun!

ToeJam · #13 05-03-2008, 01:29 AM

Also, pollux oil is a member there now too, as I introduced him to this site.

anyrose · #14 05-03-2008, 07:12 AM

One thing about this CC site - you must have patience.

anyrose · #15 05-03-2008, 09:07 PM

New game open at Conquer Club , # 2366432, a private game with the password sdmb. Won't you come join us? There's room for 5 players right now

meek · #16 05-03-2008, 09:20 PM

I think I'm in... it's my first time, so be gentle.

ToeJam · #17 05-04-2008, 12:25 AM

Gah, I want in, but I can only have 4 games at a time.

So I'm stuck as I'm not dying anytime soon... or so I think. Maybe in 3 days?

exclamation! · #18 05-04-2008, 04:19 AM

I'm in on the new game as well.

We need one more player guys!!! COME! JOIN US!

...kinda starting to sound like we're establishing The Cult of Risk.

Kaboodle · #19 05-04-2008, 10:38 AM

Okay, I'm in. Another first-timer.

I think I understand the unlimited fortifications. Does that mean in the free move at the end of your turn you can move armies from any territory to another as long as they are linked by territories you own?

After reading the rules again, it sounds like you can do that as many times as you want.

anyrose · #20 05-04-2008, 10:40 AM

yes

exclamation! · #21 05-04-2008, 07:27 PM

Can any of the more experienced players reccommend a good map for beginners? I know there's Classic and World 2.0, and I know to avoid Doodle Earth. What are some maps we should try out to get some more experience, without being too scary?

anyrose · #22 05-04-2008, 08:55 PM

I like Iberia and France. What you want for that kind of confidence builder is something with 5 to 6 continents and each continent containing 4 to 9 countries. When you go to either Game Finder or Start A Game, you can click on each map to see a larger picture

GreedySmurf · #23 05-05-2008, 05:41 PM

Hmm. Missed out on the new game

Looks like we may have to make bigger games.

Well, you just wiped Anyrose and me out of the game 2324822, but Conquer Club is letting me join public games now. It didn't before, and I thought I remembered it saying you had to win one before you could do that. I can, anyway.

I'm in game 2440450, waiting for two or three more players. Non dopers present, so no strategizing here if anyone joins...

hee hee.

ToeJam · #25 05-16-2008, 12:00 AM

I joined in.

ToeJam · #26 05-16-2008, 12:02 AM

and I wiped Anyrose outta that game, though it probably cost me any shot of winning myself. =(

anyrose · #27 05-16-2008, 06:46 AM

I've been wiped out of most of my games, so here's a new one

2450289 "sdmb" - 8 player, terminator, freestyle -

Freestyle means you only have to wait about a day for each of your turns because we all go at once

Terminator means you get the points as soon as you oust someone, so it's possible for 7 players to earn points in an 8 player game

and 8 players so more of us can play

Madd Maxx · #28 05-16-2008, 09:30 AM

I'm in.

tdn · #29 05-16-2008, 01:57 PM

Eye sine dup two.

ToeJam · #30 05-16-2008, 02:03 PM

I'm Game (having recently just been eliminated out of another game)

Pollux Oil · #31 05-17-2008, 01:40 AM

I joined up.

I had previously joined an Assassin game, but the game ended before I could even take my first turn.

So now I'm in this one!

Danalan · #32 05-17-2008, 02:30 AM

I joined -- I'd joined the Conquer Club a while ago, and never joined a game. Be warned: I've never played on-line before, so I might be out quick, or have incredible beginners luck.

exclamation! · #33 05-17-2008, 02:42 AM

I'm in!!!

LET'S GET STARTED!

I was late, all the slots are filled. I'm currently in a classic game that's moving really slow.

GreedySmurf · #36 05-18-2008, 05:45 PM

Too slow myself. Oh Well.

anyrose · #37 05-22-2008, 02:33 AM

I have 7 new public games open (no password needed) in case anyone wants to jump in
Just go to Game Finder, select Game Status "waiting for players" and type 'anyrose' into the With Player spot - whatever is open will pop up

shijinn · #38 05-23-2008, 07:57 AM

in

but that "adjacent" fortifying thing - not well liked, y'know

shijinn · #40 05-23-2008, 09:32 AM

unlimited is hella convenient, but i like being able to flank an enemy without worrying about that reinforcement on the other end of the map

hmm, we can ditch this one and create again if you all prefer unlimited. i just wanted to try the new classic map.

anyrose · #41 05-23-2008, 10:02 AM

not necessary - it's your game, your choice. I was just sayin'

shijinn · #42 05-23-2008, 10:19 AM

not like it matters, since we can create a hundred new games if we want

Khampelf · #43 05-23-2008, 08:34 PM

I don't like either of reinforcement methods that only allow one move, period. Each army should be mobile, dammit.

Oh, I'm in for Sijinn's new game. I'll probably get Asia.

exclamation! · #44 05-23-2008, 08:44 PM

I'm in too.

Can anyone explain the difference between chained and adjacent fortification to me?
Am I right in thinking-
Adjacent: fortifying once from territories right next to each other.
Chained: fortifying once from territories linked by your other territories.

I love unlimited but I play using adjacent (I think), IRL.

shijinn · #45 05-23-2008, 11:01 PM

you are right, exclamation!.

anyrose · #46 05-23-2008, 11:02 PM

that's correct - but each of those choices allow only one fortification move per turn. Only unlimited is realistic from a strategic POV

ToeJam · #47 05-23-2008, 11:14 PM

Madd Maxx- can you come along and end my misery in the Doper game, so that I can play in the next one?

I kinda wish there was a surrender option...

exclamation! · #48 05-24-2008, 02:41 AM

Thanks for clearing that up guys.

RoOsh, if you win the game now you'll be a Risk legend. Think of the glory!!! At least I can console myself with coming third, Madd Maxx blew us all away.
