[warhammer651]

is it just me, or do most conflicts in this come from Jackpot tiles?

[Sowelu]

Pretty much.  There's not many other things that would make two players move towards the same place at the same time.

If you run into problems just shoot an email to support@conqueroncontact.com. Also make sure you are using the latest Chrome, Safari, or Firefox (not IE). Very important. That should fix any refresh problems.

It's not a great game to play with my unstable connection. Lol, sitting around watching the screen do nothing for a few hours isn't really my kind of thing either. But I'm in for now

[Muz]

Oh wow, this is interesting. A 21k guy has a 4k guy trapped in a corner. But between them, there is a -5.5 tile. And towards the dead end, there is a -8 tile. Between that -5.5 and -8 is a 3.5 tile. The 4k guy sits on the 3.5 tile, while the 21k guy sits on a 0.5 tile. It's just an endurance fight to see who can stay alert the longest... the small guy could take down that massive one and double in size if he stays alert enough.

Oh...well, the big guy won. That little guy freaked out, scurried even further than the -8 tile and got hit hard. The little one could've pwned him by attacking from the -8, but was too panicked to think of it.


EDIT:
HAH... now here is a much better match. Nobody got it on video because we were all too busy sitting up and getting ready. So, I'll just copy and comment on the logs of what happened..

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Loony - 19K
Muz - 7K
Warhammer651 - 3K
Chase Z. Pena - 2K


(Chase getting chased by Warhammer at this point, after a respawn)
Vandalite: poor chase, this is not your day is it?
Chase Z. Pena: eh, its first time for me, I expected to get clobbered while I learned the ropes

(I decide to chase down Warhammer hoping he'd get in a corner during the attack)
Chase Z. Pena: Oh, I got away from warhammer
Chase Z. Pena: or wait, did I?
Chase Z. Pena: Yeah, I did, I didn't lose enough guys, was still pretty close o start tho
Vandalite: wow. muz following you down there

(I chase Warhammer halfway down the map, chase gets in a strategic position to hit Warhammer, but isn't strong enough to defeat me)
Warhammer651: Mexican standoff then

(About 5 minutes of us spinning around each other... Chase and Warhammer trying to hit each other, Muz could only get conquered by Warhammer's position, but not Chase's)
(Chase gets forced into a dead end, Warhammer has two options - to eat Chase and get killed by me or to escape down another path, but if he leaves his spot he's at a disadvantage)
Vandalite: this is nuts

(Loony notices us three at the bottom of the map, moves there)
Vandalite: and now looney is moving too!

(Loony is strong enough to conquer Warhammer even if he's on that -2 at this point, meaning Warhammer has to move sooner or later. Chase uses this to try to escape, but gets trapped between me and Warhammer and gets conquered by Warhammer in a misstep)
Warhammer651: OMNOMNOMNOM

(Muz and Warhammer realize that Loony might be able to take us both down)
Warhammer651: Truce?

(Muz keeps chasing Warhammer anyway. Loony chases us both around.)
Warhammer651: *starts playing the benny hill theme*

(At a fork in the path, Warhammer runs off into a 2-tile-wide corridor. Muz runs off towards the safe zone, but stops at a +4 after not being chased.)
(Loony decides to go after Muz, even though Warhammer was practically trapped. Muz sits on a -4, waiting a few rounds before striking at Loony. Loony maneuvers around, managing to shoo Muz in the opposite direction from the safe spot towards the bottom of the map)

(Muz runs into a dead end with three parts, sort of crudely drawn in ASCII as below. He sits on the -5) 
-4  ## 2 #
#    0    1 #
## -5  ##
#####

(Loony sits on the 2. If Loony and Muz move in at the same time, Muz would win.)
(Warhammer moves onto the -4. He is capable of beating Loony, which would give him 4000 if they both move in at the same time.)

Warhammer651: ITS A TRAP
Vandalite: wow. now *that* is a standoff

(There is about 3 rounds of doing nothing.)
(Then Warhammer moves in.)
(At this point, Loony would be able to destroy Warhammer if he moves in. Muz would destroy both Warhammer and Loony if he moves in, putting himself at number 1. So Muz does the obvious, he moves in right in the middle.)
(Warhammer does a crazy decision in that round... instead of backing out or into the 1 square, he moves in on Muz's location)

Loony: Heh.... Nice one, hammer.
Muz: lol, nice
Vandalite: did you two just swap?
Loony: What'd you do that for?
Warhammer651: how thw hell DID we swap?

(Seeing how Muz and Warhammer moved in on each other's locations, they switched places)
(Muz then backs off to the -4, Loony pounces on Warhammer, who manuevers around him, onto the middle square.)

Warhammer651: OH SHI-
Vandalite: that is the most complicated dance i've witnessed in this game so far
Loony: That's what happens when two adjacent armies move toward each other.

(Muz backs off a few steps and decides to run off from Loony. Warhammer does the same thing, ends up on the same spot, and gets hit.)
Warhammer651: shiz
Loony: You should have just run, at that point.
Muz: that's no fun
Vandalite: I should have taken screenshots.
Warhammer651: I was
Vandalite: that was an insane fight to watch
Warhammer651: Did someone get it on video?
Loony: You ran, but the wrong direction. I meant you should have gone to the right.
Chase Z. Pena: This game is like risk on a mixture of meth and crack

(Muz gets greedy and decides to attack Loony for the top position. I'm a bit lazy to commentary the rest, but it involved 8 minutes of tight manuevering and I'll just leave the log here, and Loony eventually won from the timeout...)
Loony: Damn, that was close! My wife distracted me.
Vandalite: wow muz that must have been a scary move to make
Muz: lol, almost worked
Loony: Yeah, and then I almost got him, was about 3 sec. too late.
Loony: But the suicide worked!
Loony: Gratz, Vandal, you're now 2nd in current size.
Muz: there was like four choices, i went with the least likely to work
Loony: Yeah, I actually couldn't make up my mind, and timed out.
Loony: I was thinking you might go up-right to make a run for it, then I thought you might think that, and come straight at me, then I thought you might head back into the corner.
Vandalite: but the gap between second and first is rather staggering

Oh, lol, and I just noticed that Warhammer came from B12 too

Yeah, that was one of the most fun ones to happen. Another less complicated one happened between me, Vandalite, and another guy (cant remember the name, call him Bob). I had just come across the mother of all area in this game. 2 +10 tiles, three jackpots, and a -10 in the one entrance. I had left for a few minutes, and came back to find Bob sneaking up on me. I managed to dodge out of the way of his attack. Vandal then came in from the north and camped the -10. after a few turns, I managed to scare bob into a portal, only to realize after the portal's disappearance that I was trapped.long story short, I got killed.
