I played a game that was pretty much decided. teal had 95% of the board. There were three other players, all with about 1-2 territories each. The person in first place left, and then came back when we were in a position to start coming back. Then he knocked us down each to one territory again.
I wanted for us to all flag, but i_break_truces refused to. Seems like a cheap way to rack up dominance points. Is there any way this can be stopped? |

at 7:39 PM, Thursday April 5, 2007 EDT I took part in this game. This was the most stupid game I ever played. After some I just left the table and moved to another one. So even didnt know how it finally ended. Yes, JKD - i break the truces was one of the players. Do you anything about such earlier cases?

Anyway, since the problem is players don't want to lose dominance when only one player is unwilling to flag, I suggest freezing Average Size for all players except 1st when only one more player is needed to flag. Current way is good though. |

There's a lot of peer pressure in the higher tables to just flag so everyone can move on to the next game. IMO, that is not 'rational' play, but it seems to be what a lot of people desire. |

Interesting enough this is rational, if you have to play with this players again, to not be remebered as a pain in the ... table. |
