One game is over already, in about 16 hours and half:
23 Jun, 05:43:40 maafi started the turn. (1st round begin)
23 Jun, 22:19:23 God_of_War won the game. (3rd round end)

1-day long-term game! Hahaha LoL

Things like this can only happen with at least 2 players playing badly.
So, what can I say ...
For the love of Dominating12 keep your capital strong!

Another game should have been over too if DreamSteet wouldn't have M/S into me and gave the game to the next player. haha!!  https://dominating12.com/game/1159661

Also, the game you references. I gave Purple a direct path to Green and he didn't even take it. oh well, i got some favorable dice to take the win in the end. I guess I gained that one and lost this one --- https://dominating12.com/game/1159661 (same game as references above as I am more upset on this game than the one I actually won)
Hi there!

@God_of_War and @The_Bishop are you talking about me? Someone suggested you were. If you are, I'm happy to learn better strategy if you want to share advice instead of just complaining!

I'm only calling out Dreamsteet for that M/S to hand the game to Red. If dreamstreet wanted to make a move in the game I reference, he should have gone after Maafi who had less troops on the capital, but enough cards to turn in 2 sets possibly, then take those 2 sets and come after me or protect himself much more. What he did was reduce himself to 1, took the longer path to my capital, and hit me until there was absolutely no chance what so ever and gave the game to the next player, whom only had 2 cards and no play going into the round.

Anyway, it happens, but those types of games are just annoying to witness. I get it, you don't want the Leader of the game to win, but then you are just handing the game to the next person even easier. 

In the game Bishop references, I would say there were plenty of questionable moves, but that's okay. With any player on here, you just need to know how they play. Once you figure that out, the rest is just making your moves to counter theres. That's all I did in this game, although I did expect Purple to go after green harder, and then I wasn't sure how I would get to purple as his capital was so far away and I didn't have a set. I got lucky there that when the "aggressive play" was called for, it wasn't made.
Hi there!

well, 1 game, maybe just an anomaly, but this game is just ridiculous watching yall continuously attack, not get your own capitals up, all for ZERO cards. 

Same two people killing yourself and leaving the game for others to win. In the grand scheme of things I shrug it off, but these are not head to head games being played here.

I left some notes in the game chat. I still don't see any way my strategy is worse than anyone else's, but I'm also still open to being corrected!

I wasn't referring to anyone specifically, I just said that when a game ends in 3 or 4 rounds it's because some of the players involved don't know how to play, and more likely it's more then one. So my complain is in general. Years ago we had plenty of good 'capitalizer', now not much, that's a fact, not a personal accusation.

The second fact is that nobody in this tournament has been losing so many games so fast as @Temul and @begold.
13 losses already, out of 24 games, in just a few days from the tournament start, and zero wins... I'm impressed really.
It seems like you are in a race to determine who loses faster! So far it's a tie! :D

Hi there!

Yes GoW, that game had my name on it. But you had the dice in the end :)

I agree with Bishop about the general quality of caps play. In this tournament though. There aren’t as many live caps games these days so I guess people don’t have the experience.
Let’s play Twister, let’s play risk

The dice gods took a possible win and gave it to Halsucks so I'm even on toss up wins.
Hi there!

Well, here are the updates from the race!

Begold is leading and getting closer and closer to the finish line. Having already completed 19 games out of 24 he now seems impossible to reach and so destined to finish first. However Temul is second with 16 games completed and can therefore still hope to overturn the result. We will see...

Cdravis, maafi, Rockbert and HalSucks are all disqualified from the race for winning more than 3 games, which is prohibited by the rules. ;)
