Take a look at this short game: http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=5569259

After picks Saiyan gets exactly what he wanted (the first turn bonus). On Turn 2 the picks have played out exactly as he hoped and he has found my only bonus, he has higher income and more armies on the board. There is absolutely nothing that I could have picked or done to get 11 income by turn 2. An easy position to win from for saiyan. He knows this, he knows he has won, beaten the infamous piggy! and it was so easy, he fell right into my trap, Boy I'd look stupid if i lost it because of some small oversight now, just play it safe saiyan dont fuck anything up. Thereby fucking up. He starts to ask himself what if piggy has a load of leftovers around south america and he piles them in first move, only to counterattack and break antarcitca? catastrophe. No, ill just ensure i get a card piece, whats the worst that can happen?

RULE #7 IF YOU HAVE HIGHER INCOME AND MORE ARMIES ATTACK AN ENEMY BONUS. No delays, no getting card pieces, no finishing off a bonus. Do it first move and do it with evertything. There is a reason people refer to it as going all in.

how come neither of you put Scan and WR as 1.2 o.O

He wanted to either split it with me and get ant (and decent chance central america) or to let me have the FTB but for him to get his 1/2/5 and me to get my 6th which likely would be somewhere odd. I dont like his picks but that was his thought process i think.

I was messing around. The FTB 1/2 or 1/3 is the only reasonable pick i can see here, there are no counters to it, it dominates the entire north. If saiyan had gone up against someone who picked and got the FTB he would have very likely lost.

OMG Dead Piggy I know how you feel. I'm really annoyed with all the wimpy pussies floating around Warlight, like this guy:

So, I start out with substantial income and army advantage, but then this Dolphin wimp starts whining about how I "could get banned for doing this" and "I'm reporting this to the forums". What a sore loser. In the memorable words of Hidden Hand: "PUSSY".

Why didn't you attack Brazil first turn instead of Argentina? I know you didn't have any info but antartica is always likely, that way you would have had your leftovers on Argentina the next turn instead of them being on Brazil.

He would have perhaps been more scared to attack then.

I was worried about him having west and east africa, and coming with 8 to nigeria first move. or him having picked scand/wrussia/central america/ south america/west africa (as a counter to the 3/4).
