Hey, I'm new around here, but I've been lurking for a while.  I love Risk, so I've been watching this game and am going to apply for the next one.  Just wanted you to know that there's an error in the map and Happy Warrior should have two battalions on LA, not one. 

Welcome, and I'll be glad to see you on board next time.  And thanks for pointing out the error - I tend to make plenty of them, so it's good that somebody is paying attention.

Guys,

There's a very vague boundary between spectators providing general commentary on the state of play, and openly criticizing certain players for perceived mistakes or trying to influence them one way or another.  As you can imagine, the latter type of comments do not make things particularly fun for the players.

As vague as that definition is, nevertheless, I think that comments like these...

Before I carry out HW's latest orders, I need to say this.  I've received a second complaint from another player about the direction that the commentary from non-players has been taking.  Specifically; the criticism is increasingly unconstructive, and the 'tactical advice' is becoming more and more prejudicial, and seems more like browbeating.

I'm not going to start defining exactly what is acceptable and what is not, so I think it would probably be better if all commentary from those who aren't actually playing the game was kept out of this thread for now.

Thanks.
