Funny Classic Stories?
So when I was War_Lord, I was pretty bad at the game. Wasn't terrible at it, but wasn't really a thinking player either. I didn't quite 'get the game' at that point. I would asshat a lot...I got caught up in the suicides and griefing that befell so many players.
Well I was playing in a pretty nice room, had lots of solid classic players. I knew I was not part of the group at the time and I knew some of them needed to keep an eye on me.
Well Grozoth , half way through the game told me straight up. "War_Lord whatever you do...do NOT hit Ural. Don't hit Ural. Don't do it."
I looked very carefully at the board, and could not for the life of me see why Ural was important. It was an empty country. All the players were still alive. I didn't get it. I knew Grozoth was a great player so I knew something was up. So what did I do?
Well...out of curiosity... I hit Ural.
Then the game was over a minute later. I think It might have been Huckleberry who got 6th, grozoth did not win the game and pretty sure I got berated by someone for hitting Ural.
Needless to say, that was one of the turning points in Lux where I began to realize I needed to pay more attention to the board and to plan things out.
If farming a totally empty country meant GAME OVER before you could blink then what else was I missing? I became much more engaged and realized the game was way more strategy and math based than I originally thought.
I knew at that time I sucked pretty hard. I knew I wanted to get better.
Hitting Ural when Grozoth told me to not hit Ural opened my eyes.

Re: Funny Classic Stories?
So many funny stories to tell...
My favorite all time funny lux classic story for me would have to be when I HK'd para as the infamous "ignominous". He wouldn't chat and had taken all of EU in round 2. Sadly for him all the borders were @ 1's . So there I was with a YUGE army sitting in the graveyard of empires when my top generals came to me with a plan to conquer the EU. Lo and behold the manuvuer's were a GIGANTIC success with my EU borders having all 2's, 3's or better all around them. Poor kitten was only left with a tiny remote in NA somewhere. I didn't really care. I had achieved my objective to seize the EU for my Empire! Then the next game I was voted off the Island for HK'ing the "Lux King of RaW" . W/e's it was fun/funny when it happened and I still ♥ my 1st game I ever played with iggy/para in it.
Speaking of funny classic stories it would be AMAZING if some old timers would crawl out from under whatever rocks/dens they've been hiding in *Cough Cyn Cough* to play some FUN games of classic in luxtopia again!

Re: Funny Classic Stories?
lol...not just popped it but took the entire continent that's hilarious - cash wasn't even high even to consider it a half kill because you were feeding him when cards were only worth 5...
Re: Funny Classic Stories?
I would love to play some classic sometime! Unfortunately whenever I pop in there is no classic games going anymore :/Naraku wrote:So many funny stories to tell...

Re: Funny Classic Stories?
I think many players (myself included) would have a similar story where their turning point was literally everyone in a room telling them not to make some noobish move, and that player making the move anyway and not really understanding why it was dumb.kitty on catnip wrote:Hitting Ural when Grozoth told me to not hit Ural opened my eyes.
As long as we're doing funny classic stories, why don't we also do some classic funny stories?

I remember killing para's satellite in Asia to card (even though I missed an easier card) and then defending my move as "well, at least I didn't pop you continent!"
