12 dominators?

[url=https://dominating12.com/game/641902]< Game A >[/url] [url=https://dominating12.com/game/641903]< Game B >[/url] [url=https://dominating12.com/game/641905]< Game C >[/url] [url=https://dominating12.com/game/641906]< Game D >[/url] News from Game A We have the first name. Congratulations Lieutenant [b]oliver[/b]! He took some risks by his own admission, while 4960epic seemed to suggest to play with caution. But oliver correctly calculated that he had better chances thanks to the reduced variance of balanced dice. Well, eventually the result was an awesome "home run", killing all opponents in a single go. Definitively a nice win! https://dominating12.com/game/641902 Therefore Oliver has qualified for the Final; unless he wins also the other game or someone other wins 2 games, in those cases they will get proclamed directly, without the need of the Final.

Hey guys, something big happened also in Game B!! 2 players only survived: Sygmassacre and Vexer. Sygma made the massacre... To keep in theme with his name! How did happened with turn-ins so low? I don't know. What I can tell for sure is that just few troops endured in South Africa, ruled by General Vexer, in spite of multiple side attacks attempting to deal him the final blow. So I'm sure we are going to have a second name very soon, just a matter of... Cards! https://dominating12.com/game/641903

News from Game B. We have the second name. Congratulations General [b]Vexer[/b]! He played safe and fought for Australia defendeding his bonus forcibly. The additional growth of 2 troops more per round was worth Vexer to survive till the end... And yes, also a bit of luck! Apparently the General pulled out an "ace" from the hole just at the last moment, so leaving the poor Sygmassacre defenceless!! https://dominating12.com/game/641903 Therefore Vexer has qualified for the Final; unless he wins also the other game or Oliver does it, in those cases they will get proclamed directly, without the need of the Final. Deathmatches decide the outcome of the Tournament now. Stay tuned guys! :) Games in progress: [url=https://dominating12.com/game/641905]< Game C >[/url] [url=https://dominating12.com/game/641906]< Game D >[/url]

Loving the commentary Bishop. Interesting games to watch.

Thanks Maafi. Sometimes I would like to comment more but I don't want to tell things that could somehow influence the games. News from Game C! No, not a new name sorry. But the war is on! I can't tell more sorry. I believe it's a critical phase and some crucial moves might happen.

And here it is! We have the third name. Congratulations 2nd Lieutenant [b]killrick[/b]! It looks like killrick had prepared a kill in 2 acts. And the chosen victim was oliver, which had spent a lot for the Australian conquest. It seemed to watch the cat playing with mouse, just some small scratchings, breaking his region, waiting the right moment to plunge his fangs and kill the prey! But Fendi the Witch -- which is expert on cats -- promptly understood what drama was on, and she didn't miss her intervention shooing the cat from South America, so saving the poor oliver. I cannot imagine what "lovely words" killrick dedicated to Fendi for having ruined his plan! :D He was so irritated that abandoned the game for one round! Or more likely it was a strategical turn skipping, knowing he would have had better chances at the next round, thanks to the raise of the card value. And it is what actually happened, so killing oliver and all other opponents one by one. I didn't mention that also His Highness slackbatter attempted a quite improbable shot, trying to steal the prey from the cat, although it could work and would have changed the outcome of the game, but his dice weren't good enough for that. Unfortunately that made things even easier for killrick that ran the board in one turn. I don't know, probably it was the right thing to do, but come on! An elk that preys on a mouse? No, of course it could not work! ^^ Therefore Killrick has qualified for the Final, against Oliver and Vexer and a fourth name that we don't know yet; unless Vexer wins also the other game. So the last game will tell us who's the fourth name. Stay tuned guys! Last game in progress: [url=https://dominating12.com/game/641906]< Game D >[/url]

News from Game D guys! The board is full of yummy cards and the game is perhaps close to the end. Sygma tried another massacre, killing skarni with 5 cards and trading one set useful to kill Stratos with 4 cards and trading again! It seemed like he wanted to continue the stream but dice were not good enough for that. Probably by a bit of luck Sygma could have had a double turn-in at least once out of two, but it didn't happen! Apparently for the second time the game turned in Vexer's favour but it is not so: actually Vexer got unlucky on cards this time and very sadly forced to 5! Just when probably he could win the game with a turn-in. Oh Lord, what is going to happen next? I don't know, let see the continuance. Matty is in turn now, holding 4 cards... Probably he's planning a great move!

And here the last of the four! We have indeed the fourth name. Congratulations Major [b]Matty[/b]! He took his turn just when I was typing my post, so I was on line and had the honour to see the action live. By his own admision it was easy to win from that position, so that Matty felt like it was his birthday! :D It seems like he criticized Sygma for not playing more safe, but you know, some people just love the Risk!! In the other side Vexer for sure blamed his bad cards, since he could have won the tournament at the first round. 4960 also was quite strong, holding one card only -- nobody interested to kill him -- he probably hoped for a last chance; and he was the last to die in fact, but Matty's troops were largely enough to wipe him out and clean up the board! https://dominating12.com/game/641906 Therefore Matty has qualified for the Final, against Oliver, Vexer and Killrick ------------ I take this opportunity also to greet and thank for their participation the 8 players who have been eliminated. They all fought with honour and deserve our congratulations: the current Dominator in power [b]nikeboix69[/b], His Highness [b]slackbatter[/b], the adorable Admiral [b]Fendi[/b], the most killer of the tourney Major [b]Sygmassacre[/b], and also Colonel [b]4960epic[/b], Lieutenant [b]skarni[/b], 2nd Lieutenant [b]Stratosphere[/b] and well, 2nd Lieutenant [b]Villain191[/b] too... Even though he missed the fight with low honour, but we forgive him! :P ------------ Special congratulations go of course to the four winners! Here the list of the finished games: [i]6p Capitals[/i] [url=https://dominating12.com/game/641902]< Game A >[/url] won by Lieutenant [b]oliver[/b]; [url=https://dominating12.com/game/641903]< Game B >[/url] won by General [b]Vexer[/b]; [i]6p Deathmatch[/i] [url=https://dominating12.com/game/641905]< Game C >[/url] won by 2nd Lieutenant [b]killrick[/b]; [url=https://dominating12.com/game/641906]< Game D >[/url] won by Major [b]Matty[/b]. ------------ Hence, I believe everything is ready for the FINAL! [b][i]4p Domination[/i][/b] [url=https://dominating12.com/game/647243]< Final Game >[/url] Vexer, Matty, oliver, killrick [i]May the best win![/i] https://dominating12.com/game/647243

News from the battle field! Game is approaching the end of round 3. Vexer seemed to be bounded to establish his power in Ulster, but probably he's not satisfied yet and wants more! Killrick also seems to be establishing in Northern England, just in the middle of "[i]the United Queendom[/i]"! But it doesn't look anything threatening at the moment. In the meanwhile Oliver silently organizes the counter-offensive from Cornwall to the conquest of the West Country. Oh well, the poor Matty doesn't know where to head banging. He would even contate to hold the small Isle of Mann, but unfortunately it is not an active territory on the map! :D In comparison even the 3 grey territories are more clustered than Orange's troops spreaded everywhere. But who knows, possibly it will be his winning weapon... Everything can still happen, hard to make a prediction now. I'm being a bit busy for doing more commentary these days, but the game looks pretty interesting to watch, and will be even more as soon as the cards will start to turn. So stay tuned guys! You can also put your comments on the game if you want... That way I won't talk to myself! Plus, this time you can bet tokens for real! :) Final in progress: https://dominating12.com/game/647243

That's a lot of words for pretty much nothing. If Vexer tries for Wales then something would happen (for one I would immedeately move from N England and give it to killrick). But I don't think it will happen. I guess killrick will get N England, but it'll take him a few turns - at least not before Oliver has cornwall. And yes, then there is silly me, being everywhere and thus nowhere. Still, it can be good, can be bad. It's hard to say how things will work out after the initial regions.

Oh well, thanks Matty! :) (This sounds like an interview at the end of the first inning)

News from the battlefield! [i]Here the current situation, at the half of round 7[/i]. [table] [tr] [td]Vexer = [/td][td]5 cards; [/td][td]35 troops on 9 territories; [/td][td]+7 reinforcement.[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Matty =[/td][td]5 cards;[/td][td]30 troops on 7 territories;[/td][td]+3 reinforcement.[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]killrick =[/td][td]4 cards;[/td][td]29 troops on 9 territories;[/td][td]+6 reinforcement.[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]oliver =[/td][td]2 cards;[/td][td]36 troops on 11 territories;[/td][td]+5 reinforcement.[/td] [/tr] [/table] [i](next card bonus: 6)[/i] The hottest theatre of war seems to be in the northern Wales, between Vexer's red army that tries to rule the region and the "orange rebels" led by Matty which tried to prevent that. But also in Scotland the situation is not calm: Oliver's "pinky forces" have just attempted to expand, but they get a soundly defeat in Lothian! Probably the intention was to invade Northern England which is controlled by Killrick's black troops, but now it's him in turn and his region is safe. Let see what happens next... Cards have just started to turn, so the game is getting crucial! https://dominating12.com/game/647243

Hehe that wasn't my intentions. Explained on chat ;) At this moment Vexer is dominating minds. Or just a try? (Anyway master on that). ^^ Sets are coming, a little mistake will be terrible

Vexer is always trying to dominate minds. If he didn't want to get all attention to himself, he shouldn't have tried to get two regions and lose 8 troops for it.
