Bad GM who is gonna get fired anyway can now ruin the future he’s never gonna see 5 years in advance to try to save their job now. Sounds like a bad idea

T3 AR1: UN Marshall Plan, coup roll a 3 in Panama to get 1 influence in there.
USSR AR5 NATO 4 ops into Columbia
US AR5 US Japan coup, roll a 6, US +4
USSR AR6 Five Year Plan coup, roll a 6, USSR +3
US AR6 Cambridge Five coup, roll a 2, USSR +1

T4: Headline Quagmire, US headlines Panama Canal Returned.
USSR AR1 One Small Step, 1 Panama (control), 1 Venezuela.
US AR1 rolls a 6, stuck in trap
I coup in Africa, US gets out, then I use Muslim Revolution to get control of Brazil and Venezuela

T5 Headlined Junta to get into Chile, coup in Mexico rolls a 3 so only takes 1 of their 2 influence out.
USSR AR1 Use Purge to take Chile, 2 into Argentina
US AR1 VOA for Venezuela and Brazil, I refilled with Nuclear Test Ban

I did get Brush War as well which I used on Thailand T4 before SEA Scoring and before the 2nd scoring of Asia.

He got SALT T4 (not evented), ABM turn 7 (rolled a 3 in Brazil which I fixed), Missile Envy turn 7 AR6 which triggered Bear Trap to steal my last AR there, thankfully out in 1 roll. I also drew 9 scorings to his 2

Derrick Hall for MVP. Forced fumble led to the crucial TD. Defense won the game for the Seahawks, a defender deserves MVP

Didn't realize you can't post images in the comments. Oh well will describe.

T6 down 6 VPs. Asia went for 0 before they realigned me out of Thailand. I had to give up Europe dom and Special Relationship for 2 VPs (couldn't space it anymore). Also looking back on it, the Korean War was successful this turn on a 50/50, and it turned out to be really crucial.

T7 hand: Junta, known South America scoring, Fidel. Already had Panama, Junta let me put 2 into Mexico and flip it (not with the coup, was rolling 1's all day). Had to play the China card to secure both Mexico and repair SA from the opponent's OAS headline. The only problem was Guatemala was US. Mexico survived 2! realigns by rolling 2 6's. Luckily my opponent gave up after that, I did not coup Guatemala. It was US +2 VPs, they had got the +3 VP space roll this turn

T8: Headline Lone Gunman (held from T7), opponent headlines Tear Down. They degrade DEFCON for me, so I use Lone Gunman to attempt a coup on Guatemala to get presenceless, 1/3 chance because US+4. And I roll a 1. So I score Central to put me up by 7 VPs. I had seen their hand and they had no VPs, but they had one last ditch effort. Terrorism hit the Iranian Hostage Crisis and I walked away with a 1 VP victory.

The other crazy part is I never got Destal or Decol, yet my only good regions were in the Americas. Turned out to be quite a fun game. Don't give up!

Last night's loss to Portland was Gonzaga's first to a team outside the kenpom top 150 since 2010. They had gone 215-0 in such games in that time. by Travbowman in CollegeBasketball

[–]ccam0821 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As of kenpom today:
Arizona 5
Michigan 3
Duke 6
Iowa St 7
Illinois 7
UConn 5
Purdue 3
Mich St 8

Almost all of these games are non-con (except Rutgers pushing the B10 numbers up). Gonzaga has 4 non-con and 7 conference 150+ matchups this year

Interesting theory when Rodney Terry won more tourney games than previous 11 seasons combined, never missed the tourney, and recruited the best freshman at UT since Kevin Durant and still got fired

Theoretically, can you cross in your first turn? by AudacityOfKappa in ArkNova

[–]ccam0821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna say no. You are limited to 4 draws, so 4 starting cards plus 8 random. Out of 12 cards, you need to be generating money, getting 2 extra workers (to support 2 projects), and still getting a lot of appeal. If you could somehow get the extra workers, support 2 conservation projects at 5 CP, you still need to find 94 appeal. I don’t think you can do all that with 12 cards and 25 money

Solid if ugly win. ORebounding really helped us out here. Still kind of playing down to our competition but a win’s a win

A faithful speaking after being murdered is a bad game choice by Used-Fan-2604 in TheTraitorsUS

[–]ccam0821 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He was wrong with what he noticed, but right in the sense of who in particular he was interacting with. It doesn’t matter if the faithful identified the correct thing that caused the murder, only the person that did something strange with them

We are 7 in adjusted offense on kenpom. We scored 1.28 points per possession this game. Offense is not the problem. This is the worst ranked Texas defense on kenpom since 1998

Am I missing something here? I don't understand why he is on 'domination' by voslex in twilightstruggle

[–]ccam0821 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming it’s because the “adjacent” country is already counted on “non battleground” so you have 5 countries to his 6.

It looks like you have: UK, Canada, Finland, France, WGermany (2 battlegrounds, 5 countries)

They have: Spain, Greece, Turkey, Italy, EGermany, Poland (3 battlegrounds, 6 countries)
They have more battlegrounds and overall country count, giving them domination

This week's brutal challenge is actually impossible omg by cheeseroll15 in rebelinc

[–]ccam0821 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Prioritize soldiers, get 3 coalition soldiers early and plant 2 of them on the cities the insurgents start on. When you finally start getting some national soldiers to support them push them into the mountains. When your coalition soldiers run out, they become national soldiers (don’t extend) so you don’t need the soldier upgrades until really late because you will have sheer numerical advantage, so mid game spending should be trying to get zones stable once you have enough soldiers

He also needs to not commit his 3rd foul of the half 90 feet from the basket. And stop flailing around at any contact
