If we don’t get a 6th by tomorrow night, I’ll cancel it and open a 5 player game. Unless you don’t mind me telling one or two players I’ve become friendly with about the opening
I find it really difficult to look at the map and figure out where I am. Is there an easy way?
click on the ‘add colour codes’ button to the right of the map. some of the colours can be hard to differentiate with the thin font.
i apologise for scarying away potential dopers with my awesomeness.* /throws down glove. 
- yeah i’m gonna milk my win for all it’s worth till someone else wins a game. i’d thought there would be more interested. risk threads asking about strategy or whatever always get a good number of replies…
Okay. Drop game # 1768736.
Go to game # 1863936, password (all lowercase) sdmb. It is a 5 player game.
Cool. joined the new game.
Has anyone else noticed that the dice are a bit screwy on this site?
very - when 9 against 1 loses
joined up!
I’m the one eating the banana…
Cool! I’m so excited. I LOVE Risk, but haven’t been able to play in a while. I volunteered for one of those drug study programs when I was younger, and it was great. Two weeks of daily games of Risk and Spades. Good times…
:dubious: so, Risk and Spades are drugs?
Well, hey. New Forum. I like the furniture.
I’m back home, in the market for a new game. I searched for games awaiting players with anyrose, since s/he’s the doper that seems most active there. No dice. Lemme know when you’ve got a new game going, eh?
Oh, I see that I can only search once I get a promotion… I’ll need a game number.
she. Also we waited 4 days for you, “Zaphod”, so we scrapped that one and started a 5 person game. How do you feel about alternate maps? Since I went “premium” I can have as many concurrent games as I like. One of my favorite boards is Australia. Wanna play a game on that board? I’ll set one up.

Actually, I just got elimated from a “Great Lakes” game. I think I want to start one of those again. It’s game # 1886480, password (all lowercase) sdmb. It’s a four person game, so I’ll need two other players. I also gave it “unlimited fortifying” because I have found that makes the game more interesting
I have space for another game. I think I prefer classic games until I get used to the site.
you should try the alternate boards. for one thing, many of them are easier on which to read who has how many in which country.
I am on Conquer Club as well but haven’t joined any of the SMDB games yet, didn’t see this thread.
I did pay to be a member so I can join more than 4 games at a time. I usually have at least 10 going at a time with up to 20 going on the high end.
The “must do” thing for this site is to go to the forums and read about the add-ons available through an app called grease monkey. The main one you need to get is BOB. This address all the who can I attack, and visibility issues you may have on any map. It improved my game drastically. It also gives you good stats and army counts which help alot on tactics. I used to do all of that stuff in my head, now I can join more games and let BOB add up how many armies each person has and what their next bonus will be etc…
I will join the next game that starts up if I see it in time.
Awright, I’m in. Sorry to make you wait for me, before. I didn’t realize. I’m pretty sure sure you were female, but didn’t want to assume, y’know? 
I just got the results from the test I went to take that made me wipe out the previous set. I passed, and can apply to teach in California now. Sweet.
congrats
I’m in, unless someone else really wants in.
actually since that game that I thought was a Great Lakes game is really an Australia game, I have started a new private Great Lakes game - 4 players - game # 1900335, password (all lowercase) sdmb - Join me, won’t you? (open to the first 3 Dopers who claim it)
I’m interested but probably won’t make the cut. I haven’t ponied up for premium, and I’ve got four running. Two of them could turn sour on me REAL quick, but I’ll probably end up lingering a bit.
Tell you what: Once I knock you out of the game we are currently playing, I’ll join a couple more with you.
We could do Australia **AND ** Great Lakes.
i’m in.
even browser games get add-ons? 
do they work on the default explorer? how “must do” is it? if it’s too much of a hassle to install (i don’t want two browsers) i’ll make do without mods…
