I'll play without a teammate

do you have a country in mind so that we everyone can start forming teams?

I think the general convention is to give Egypt an alliance of three.

yes lets avoid that^

Why should Egypt be advantaged like that? It certainly isn't a weak draw.

It isn't?

Look at the last team game where egypt was a three way team. And the stats are because of BAD PLAYERS not because of the country.

27 are enough data points to believe in the margin of difference, given its scale.

@Tyran- I have seen very good players play as Egypt and still get screwed. I have seen average players(myself included) play it and gotten screwed. It isn't bad players, its a bad country.

who cares, this isnt a forum about how unfair this game is; it has only been played once, and I would like to try and play it a different way to see how it goes comparatively.

im only looking for a player that will play in a team game without a teammate. They can chose their country first, so chances are, they wont chose egypt. but then egypt will be chosen like it would in every other WWIV game.

At this point, RUFFHAUS bailed on playing by himself, so I ask again, if anyone would like to play alone, post here (or on the other forum: http://vdiplomacy.com/forum.php?viewthread=36116#36116 ) with your country choice, so that we can all start thinking about teams.

Those 27 data points do not necessarily represent the strength of a country when in a team. Egypt paired up with another country in a team game is potentially a very different thing from Egypt played independently. It could be a lot better a pick or it may still suck.

Those data points only show one thing - the quality of player who has drawn Egypt has been low.

I have played this country - their starting position is excellent.

So would anyone be willing to pick the solo player? Once that country is picked, we can start announcing teams.

I will take the single player spot.

Pick your country! You get first choice and then we will start putting together the roster of 17 teams

Hmm... I'm in the mood for a challenge. Lets go with Egypt!

Ha!
