Well you can either pay a measly 25 bucks ayear and get to play, or sit over here in the game room and look at the same 4 people nightly. I am speaking of Eastern time at night in USA. |

I can appreciate the reasons why some americans get off on Meta. Of course there's the reason that apollo just brought up. There are other reasons of course: some people like all the fancy sounds and features over there, others like the fact that as long as you pay, you can have as many accounts as you like. For me, I love gravon because the game field is an exact replica of the game board I have always played on and the special Meta features are useless for me and I find them annoying. I'm on Asia time and play at all different hours and there's usually plenty of people on except for the dead time that apollo refers to; but then again even during that time, we have the extraordinary presence of the artster, edfx, the rave in the cave, warzero, gpet, attila, zach and if warhammer ever gets back on here, him. then as early morning rises in europe, we see the x-man mrx, olafster, boris, bokus, wacko jako, and others. Do we see you sometimes apollo? under a white name perhaps? |

No when I play here I'm Apollo in blue I think. I've been playing here for many years, but stopped because of the reason i gave. I came on here last night at around 9pm est and there were 4 people on line , you were one, zach and one other i entered game room and joined and sat there about 5 minutes then left. I can go to meta at same time and there will be 30 or more people, granted many under aliases ( i dont like that aspect either), but none the less, I come to play not get into the politics of the 2 sites or rankings etc.. |

Yeah dude, that's cool. You can play a lot over there when it's dead on here for sure. I know that edfx and Zach take advantage of both as they like to be playing a massive number of games. |

there's an old saying about people from the state of Texas; only queers and steers come from Texas. I think there's a similar saying about people who pay to play on Meta. As for you ricardo; very nice work |

that's quite a roll you're on dude. If you want to see the movie where that quote comes from, it's "full metal jacket". it's an extremely funny scene from that movie |

the good thing about ace losing a couple of games is that it proves he is human and not machine; I was beginning to wonder after that explosive start to the year. We can try but nobody, not even ace, can win them all |

@ full metall jacket: good film, good scene, but not very funny
"Man sagt, in Texas gibts nur 2 Arten von Leuten: "Schw...teln und
Stiere"....
best scene, when sg. paula was running wild!
@ janjan vs Ace: i played against him (janjan) in my "old days", far away from gravon.
It 's just unbelievable!
That's one reason why i like this game: place 150 can beat place 1.
@ gravon-for-americans: It's our aspiration to make gravon a more "international" place.
@ ricardo: only 5 wins left _________________ DontMissTheChance |

I thought since my name was mentioned several times I would toss in my opinion too.
Ace or Zach? I think Ace is better overall: more experience, less lotto. Zach really goes into lotto mode when he is down in rank, Ace is more patient. The reason I have done well against zach is because he frequently lottos bombs with high rank with me and then gives up. But he is still a very good player, better than me. Despite me playing him at about 50/50 I think, rarely do I ever find his flag.
Ace is human. He had a bad night with me last night, he lost three straight. He was not on his best game for sure despite the coffee. We all get into those moods sometimes. But he is still better than me overall.
As for getting beat by low ranked players, it could happen to anyone. If they are ranked at all, they are capable of winning a game against a really good player, like bob.
The queers and steers comment was also in "An Officer and a Gentlemen", before full metal jacket I think. Showing my age.
Look forward to seeing ya'll on gameboard. You started a nice long one bob, good job. |
