not sure - maybe more safeguards against it? I just opened a bunch of public games, under my user name (anyrose)- anyone can play - (no password) ---

I just joined **danalan** ’s Cairns Coral Coast game. We only need 4 more players. Come on people! I’ve played in a game with each of you ( **danalan** , **moguai** , and **anyrose** ) so far. I hope that doesn’t cause a feeling of dread in anyone. 🙂 If you have any suggestions or criticisms, I’d be interested to hear them. In regards to Rule #2. I’m not 100% sure but I read a comment that they were trying to decide if it was okay by the rules to announce an alliance but negotiate the terms in secret. From the way I read the currently posted rule #2, you can’t keep the terms of the alliance secret. ---

**Danalan** , I’ve just joined your Cairns game. Yay! I think we still need 2 or 3 more people though. ---

I don’t know if it’s because too much time went by or because of their database problems, but **Danalan** - all your games disappeared ---

I noticed that too. I’m pretty sure the one I joined was gone before the downtime, maybe there’s a time limit on games waiting for players? I haven’t joined another game yet (to make up my four), in case another doper game starts up. Oh, I won my first RL Risk game over the weekend! YAY! ---

Congrats on the win, Exclamation. I came in to post about the missing games, too. I started game # 2659963 (I wasn’t sure If I could. It’s public, so hurry in. six players, classic map, escalating cards, unlimited reinforcements no fog, freestyle. Who’s in? ---

How do I get started? I love Risk. I’m playing on facebook currently. I researched online risk a bit. Is this application better than Lux? ---

[/QUOTE] sign up at [Conquer Club](http://www.cnquerclub.com), then look for our games. I think it’s better than Lux because a) you don’t need to download any software, b) you can play on any computer (Mac or Win) c) just because 😉 ---

OK, I’m back in the Cairns Coral and CCU games. I’m in our ongoing game, and my public game got snapped up before any Dopers got to it, I think. That’s four. I’m good. ---

I’m in on the Cairns game, missed out on your public game **SLK**. Just waiting for **moguai** to wipe me off the board in one of my other games, so I can join more! ---

I joined the Cairns and Classic games. I wouldn’t mind trying the CCU map but I’ve never played a freestyle game before. ---

[QUOTE=Kaboodle] I joined the Cairns and Classic games. I wouldn’t mind trying the CCU map but I’ve never played a freestyle game before. [/QUOTE] Freestyle’s no biggie. It just means that, each round, players can take turns in any order. Makes for faster play, I think. If you were last (or next to last?) you can’t be one of the first two to move in the next round. That’s about it. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/come-play-risk-with-us/447704.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/come-play-risk-with-us/447704.md?page=6)
