I think I've finally found a place to go.
I'd better stop now because I'm sure I'll find something wrong with this one too if I keep looking.

Haven't heard from eyebooger so he's probably forgotten about this game.

That means, we have 2 entries to give away.

And don't worry about missing 2 rounds. Some of us are sitting out those rounds on purpose to see what others are doing.

About 4 hours til Round #3 moves happen.

Man. Canada and Russia are such a waste. Cant even get to the capitals without some serious maneuvering. Sigh.

Japan probably a lost cause too.

If true, this would certainly give IRTM a cash boost!

However, this isn't binding. It all depends on what his PM says.

A word about daylight savings time.

Our move times are 5PM EST (Eastern Standard Time).

This may confuse some people who change from Standard to Daylight Savings time on Sunday.
Our move time stays 5PM EST.
For those who like to think in Daylight Savings time, 5PM EST = 5PM CDT (Central Daylight Time)

I see 7 PMs. 2 are Gadarene's 4th and 5th round moves. That means we have 5 + mine = 6 moves or non-moves. Nothing from the other 4. 8 minutes to go to get your moves in.

OK the first pick goes to Nicholasp27 but he's sitting out so Doctor Zeus gets 1st move.

He goes to Brazil.

Legal move? yes

Has he got enough money? yes

He's now in Brazil.
Filthy Vermin gets $100M
Filthy Vermin is dumped back into the ocean.

No move from eleanor60.

For my pick I was gonna start moving but then reconsidered and figured it's too soon to tip my hand.

Me and eleanor collect $5M.

our last move.... Filthyvermin wants to go to Columbia

Legal move: no!

Since Doctor Zeus dumped you back into the ocean, you cannot go to Colombia.
Why: Brazil is in the way!!!

It's a dog-eat-dog world at around-the-world RISK style.

I keep thinking that this would be pretty easy to track in Excel so that when Feren posts a move I can update a chart easily to see current money, current location, and things like that for all players. But it eludes me. Sad.

Never mind the fact that I still don't know how to actually play this game at all..

When you get bumped you go back to wherever you were before you got there, which for filthy was at the start.

If someone bumps you out of Brazil, you'll go back to Uruguay.

oh!!!! i see!!! dr zeus in brazil and i can kick him out of brazil and send him back to urguay!!!! lol!!!

cuz i get to go before him. and next turn if he goes before me, then he can do the same thing to me again lol!

and i know there was talk of collusion before, so did we decide that dr zues and i aren't allowed to make a deal?
