FG: Nuclear War XXXIV: Short and Sweet

[Leirosa]

Yeah I used my bunker in turn 4 but nobody did anything.. was trying to rebuild it this turn lol

I never bothered building another city because if someone wanted to kill me and they stockpiled, I'd be dead regardless of whether I had the one extra city or not.

[Skanky Burns]

I agree. The only point in building a 4th city was to get that 5th city. You were then safe from instadeath for at least one round, unless you happened to annoy two or more people at once.

UDWOT

Hmm... maybe the stockpile should only be 3??

Turn 7: "Meh"

Secret orders, nothing more. (I will mention that someone tried to hide in an imaginary bunker ).

Cities:
2. Skanky Burns (Landrover, Tank, Unimog)
3. Jonny (U, Can't, Touch, This)
8. Joncha (Hastings, Pender, Dunsmuir, Georgia)

[Skanky Burns]

Sent.

There's no reason to have a 3 stockpile. Either have 4 cities and admit that the point is to allow instadeath, or revert to 5 cities... the spies/bunkers were always the problem IMO...

Turn 8: "Nearing the end of days."

Skanky starts off the day by sending 4 little friends to his pal Joncha, and Joncha returns the favor by deflecting 2 of them back at Skankster. Skanky's bad luck is compounded by the fact that Jonny launched 4 at him as well. Bye-bye Skanky!

Cities:
3. Jonny (U, Can't, Touch, This)
8. Joncha (Hastings, Pender)

[joncha]

It looks like I chose the right person to deflect to.

[Skanky Burns]

How rude.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Turn 9: "Game over."

Jonny was trying to work on another stockpile, but Joncha's spy and 4 nukes crossed out that prospect. Jonny is eliminated.

Yoncha is Your Winner!!11!!

[Whoha]

if only jonny had launched 2 nukes.

[Hercules]

Well what a very quick game.

Maybe we should all start with a selection of specials (eg 2 bunkers, 2 spys. 1 stockpile) and that's more or less it. To rebuild a bunker or train a spy as now. a risky venture.

[Spaced Cowboy]

I was thinking going back to the olde version, but starting with 5 cities, 3 spies, 2 bunkers and a stockpile.

[joncha]

I prefer the old rules.

There may be something to this whole "remove the boring buildup" part of the game. Instadeath isn't so much fun though.
