Aw, when I read 4D I thought it'd be played with time travel as well.

Declare that you are one of the remaining players (X, & or %) and then make a move on your turn by posting the board with your move on it.

Because the solution to not being able to control your dakka is MOAR DAKKA.

That's it. We've finally crossed over and become the nation of Da Orky Boyz.

I think the center square is too powerful, and should probably be blocked off in any future rounds. I think Grek will win unless we work together to stop him.

I think it will sorta happen naturally. Unless/until he gets into a position where he has 4 or more ways to win in one turn (which might happen eventually), then me+you+hammer will end up blocking all his ways (unless one of us screws up).

Play order is now:
O: Grek
&: Nirur Torir
%: lemon10
X: warhammer65

The center is not so strong as it looks. Yes, it is a component to 39 possible winning lines, but there's 690 other ways to win that don't require the center. It takes part in less than 5% of all possible victories.

What you've really got to worry about is that Nirur Torir. He's got evil amperstand demons on his side.

At least I'm a known evil. You might be ogres, olmmen, or possibly even the dread oliphants. Rise up against the deceivers, future minions brothers! If I win, there will be countless slaves of the race of your choosing. Plus dwarven syrup roasts. Lots of dwarven syrup roasts.
