OOT Risk League

[Scotch78]

There's been some talk, so let's get this thing started. I am willing to do all the organization; here's some questions to start:

4 6 8 10 4 6 8 10

double elimination

i'd be down

[TomCollins]

I'm trying to make a schedule right now, kind of like Poker Superstars. Everyone plays 6 matches, gets points, and then you advance some number of people.

Anyone like that idea? The game is too short term luck to rely on one game.

[scott8]

I'm in.

[KDawgCometh]

I'm down. I haven't played in a long time, so I forget what the card scale means off hand, but, this sounds like fun

If the round-robin style wins out, then I could definitely see awarding points to first and second place.

Card scale is how much your set is worth. So if you get a risk, you can turn them in for 4, 6, 8 , or 10 units in the one. I don't like the one where it keeps going up since it causes a bigger luck factor. All 5's isn't as good because there is an element of strategy in trying to time your sets that makes things interesting.

i meant, we shouldnt be playing for money
btw, im in, unless its for cash

[TomCollins]

For anyone choosing Manual, you have to realize the odds of getting 6 people together in a league is going to be extremely difficult. So it may take 2-3 days just to place units.

[Luzion]

Count me in. I wasnt emailed for a game yesterday. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[Sifmole]

Yours in Christ,

[Scotch78]

Looking at the way the poll's turning out, I'm thinking of starting two leagues. One would be free, the other would cost something and probably be a team league.

[Scotch78]

*bump*

[Sephus]

im interested

[MarkL444]

im in fo show! i think free is best.

Up to $25 for a end of season prize.....

Weekends suit me best as I'm Uk based and play when all u boys are sleeping....

Whatever happens - U cannot let Dynasty play if u want this to remain competitive.....(jk Dynasty....)

[Dynasty]

The 5,5,5,5 card scale is in last place. But, after playing the other options, I definitely believe 5,5,5,5 is, by far, the superior option.

BTW, I am in.

[whiskeytown]

agreed -

it seems like anything else just turns it into a crapshoot to see who can get the most cards cashed the fastest -

I'm watching my 4,5,6,7,8,9.... escalating cards game conclude (I was eliminated). I am now 100% against the escalating cards being used in a league. The game has turned into a ridiculous series of massive attacks by gigantic armies which take 1/3 of the map at a time until they die out.

The 4,6,8,10,4,6,8,10,4....system is silly. There's not point to it.

5,5,5,5 is the only way to go.

[hoyaboy1]

I agree. It's dumb for me to be sitting around hoping nobody cashes in cards so I get 10 instead of 4.

[MarkL444]

i strongly dont want money involved. id hate to have collusion become an issue.

That's probably smart.

[AlexHoops]

I'm very interested. I've played over 50 games in the last 3 days at dominategame. On warfish do they offer fog of war or capitals? Those are two variations in the game that I really like.

[Ulysses]

All,

I would have joined this if the competition at OOT were stronger, but I don't think me joining would be fair to the rest of the players.

Enjoy your league,

Your empty posturing is unimpressive.

Dynasty,

Don't be so bitter because I dominated you so bad.

Triumphantly,

You, Dynasty, TomCollins, and me. Win 2 out of 3 in that game and then you can brag.

[aLOWdAkING]

I'd be down!

[Ulysses]

Scotch,

Thank you for your challenge, but I have already retired after my smashingly successful RISK comeback. You can measure how you might have fared against me by playing against Dynasty (I knocked him out in a pretty dominating and swift fashion).

Have fun,
El Diablo (Retired Reigning RISK Champion)

[phillydilly]

I would love to get in on this!
gotta love world domination

Count me in.
