Now Pingvin will know what the Romans felt like at Cannae.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Oooh. I didn't know we'd be playing that way so soon...

Dammit Gass, Eastern PA was gonna be mine!

Instead, we choose to expand to the riches of the west.

The Lankaster Heer blitzes into:

York County, PA (434,972)
Lebanon County, PA (133,568)
Dauphin County, PA (268,100)
Berks County, PA (411,442)
Adams County, PA (101,407)

Total Population: 1,868,934

bgwah gets first choice of three counties, though, so he might not be dead.

Also, here's why we don't do two rolls at once.

I actually had to change that rue because it made me realize it would be impossible for some to get defeated as they would always have at least 1 county..... I'm still looking for revision suggestions though

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Wait... what?

[Spamage]

I put a rule up earlier which said that if 2 "country's" wanted the same county the one with the lesser total amounts of counties to annex that turn gets the state while the opponent chooses a new county to annex.

However, for example say Person A (who has 1 county) and Person B are at war and person A gets 2 counties in 1 turn and person B gets 5.  Then Person A would chose their 2 counties and person B could only take 1 of A's when they could actually wipe them out........ but like I stated above other advice/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[Spamage]

Wait now I'm confused? What?

MODIFY Seeing as Pingvin has dropped out its not a super immediate issue.....

[Pingvin]

I'm dropping out of this stuff.

[Spamage]

K..... sad to see you go.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Spamage, you're making it sound like we're allowed to take counties that have already been annexed...?

[Spamage]

Spamage, you're making it sound like we're allowed to take counties that have already been annexed...?

Ughh that's not how its meant to sound just forget it the rule is back in place and based on the voting double rolling will stay in place I'm soo sorry for this confusion guys........

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Okay, I just thought we were annexing vacant counties (am I the only one who thought this?). What are the rules for stealing counties?

Because I told Pingvin he couldn't steal a county that Bgwah had already annexed...

[Platypus]

I thought it was vacant only, yeah.

Maybe we can make it that taking over someone else's counties costs three turns?

I like the sound of that....

If we're allowed to steal counties, this game will go on forever. I was enjoying it the way it was (or at least the way I thought it was ). It was very straightforward. Now I'm not so sure... Sorry to be so negative.

But to me, the draw of the game was about seeing how far you can go, seeing what cities you can take, and seeing what the map will look like in the end. I didn't think it was going to be a game of Risk.

[Platypus]

We are happy to announce the peoples of Lorain, Cuyahoga, Lake, Ashtabula, and Geauga counties in Ohio have reached a state of enlightenment, along with Lenawee county Michigan.

Population 6,277,699.

I agree with this.

K If more people do than I'll be more than happy to accept this because right now I feel like I've messed up pretty badly this evening.......

[Platypus]

I'd be fine with that.

I note that it overly encourages looping, but that's OK I guess.

You have nothing to feel bad about, Spamage. Don't worry. It seems like there was just a breakdown of communication somewhere along the way. You're running a great game; we're responding passionately because we're enjoying it.

I don't want to sound like I'm speaking for the whole group though... but I'd definitely prefer if we just keep it to annexing vacant counties.

If we do decide that that's how it's going to be, I have one more request ()... it's that we keep Pingvin's territories on the map. Just for the sake of the record and the final map.

I like this idea!
