McLizard: Actually, in this case paralyzing yourself WAS the better play for you. If I'd guessed right on that, we'd have both been even (my clap to your paralyzed D). The alternative would have been you getting charmed and me getting paralyzed to C, but I would have had PS on my other hand to let me keep momentum. The reason I went for the charm was that I tried to second guess you, and we saw how well that turned out. Bah, I think that's my first ever loss to FoD. Good one.

Yeah, Spleenboy has been playing rather slowly. I can force in a few hours, but, eh.

Anybody has news of Sojobo? It has been more than 24hours since i could force this battle. Let's hope we can finish this before friday, since I'll 'disappear' for ~10 days

yeh, spleeny played fast at the beginning- ours was the first match completed- but he seems to have disappeared since. he does check regularly normally though, so unless you have a valid excuse like spez's, he'll probably reemerge in time to finish the game, so there's no need to force surrender.

Yeah i just hope he'll be back soon. Christmas time is usually pretty difficult for me to log in regurlarly.
Anyway, it's not like this match would be the desisive one for the first place in the League anyway :-P

Stone Cold Dubber here,
If you're offered an option to force and don't take it - you get nothing for the battle. If you take the force option you get a point for the win.
Your choice. Personally, I'd choose to take the point. If not now, when? If you don't take the force option and then your opponent comes back & then you don't finish out the game - you still get noting for the battle. Strategically, it seems the obvious choice to force.

I agree with Stone Cold up there, Forced Turns are a part of the game. Which become especially important in timed battles... So force away peoples. Savour the easy ones (oh, and ..., I hope the nick name Stone Cold sticks... I know I'm gunna be using it to refer to dubber everytime from now on...)

hmm hmm... so this has moved from "friendly games" to "games where kills gives more points" to "Force surrender if you can, so you earn your points"
stone cold indeed... :-)

An unofficial tiebreaker, eh? Bring it on. I wonder, with D/P outlawed, are we both going to open F/P this time? eeerrr... Mr wall, did we ever get this one started? (ps. Toyo, -3? dude, you SUCK!)

That's why I fought all of mine to the death though I should have surrendered a couple of them. That said, my determination to handle all the games the same way actually eked out a win for me in this last game I just finished, when my opponent decided to forgo a counterspell for the guaranteed win on the *next* turn while I was desperately keeping the pressure on.
