Ultimate Division (Game 1 started; Game 2 recruiting)

[Studoku]

Here's the grid with my selection added. The shaded squares are the squares I definately want, the dots are the ones that I'll take if nobody wants the top left corner.

[Castaras]

If necessary I'll take A4 rather than B5, so that we can get 10 for each person connected up.

[Korias]

Stu can you put me down for F7, G7-G9, and F9? That'll help a bunch.

[Studoku]

Stu can you put me down for F7, G7-G9, and F9? That'll help a bunch.

No. First, that makes 3 squares inaccessible, secondly, other people need squares too.

[Zar Peter]

I'll take A1-A4 and B1-B4 and C3!

[Studoku]

[pingcode20]

Alright, I'll just take a few squares off your hands, Korias, so you can take your squares.

I want C4, C5, D5, C6, B6, B7, C7, D8, D9, E8, and E9.

This leaves you nicely open to grab the other squares, and the gaps are filled.

((Come on people, let's stomp Korias' choices into the ground!))

EDIT: Actually, since there's another square neither Castaras nor Korias want, I'll take B10-E10 too.

[Studoku]

The squares must be linked horizontally or vertically- not diagonally.

If you take C8, then it could work

[pingcode20]

They are coherent edge-to-edge. Just not listed in a coherent chain.

[Studoku]

Here's the diagram. The C7-D8 link is not allowed.

Unless I've missed something.

[Almighty Salmon]

Heh heh, you dyed Durkon's beard pink?

[Korias]

I want my squares back!

Pingcode, Thats a dirty move. I do not support the plan as written. Pingcode cant take those squares without C8, so I will take C8 as well as my old squares back, as hes trying to pull an invalid move!

[Studoku]

Heh heh, you dyed Durkon's beard pink?

I wanted to see how long it would take for someone to notice.

[Ezlo]

Eh, I take it slow. Give me the whole 6 square island that includes d1 please.

[pingcode20]

Alright, I'll take C8 as well then. I must have forgotten to include it.

Also, you did pull a massive coup last round - I'm counting on people supporting me over you.

[Crystall_Myr]

I'm a bit confused, Pingcode, do you have two separate pieces in the previously posted picture?

[pingcode20]

Not any more, I don't. And I don't mind you having that extra MitD - it's only part of my nefarious plan to throttle Korias this round.

After all - we're not risking anybody else suddenly winning if they pull off a coup, are we?

[Korias]

No! I want my squares back!

Crystal Myr can have E10, But Pingcode cant have my squares. He blatantly decided "Hey, Lets bash Korias!" Because of my immediate gain in points. I refuse to support the plan as is untill I receive C10, D10, D9, and D8, as well as E8.

[pingcode20]

You're the one closest to victory - it's blatant, but justified.

Nothing personal - you are the only one even close to being able to leap close to 100 this round.

Besides, if at least 5 other people support the plan, your support is not necessary.

((And it's my turn to be a scumbag! ))

[Korias]

But you made it personal. You said "Cmon everybody, lets stomp Korias into the ground!" That alone is a very personal insult. While I dont mind that your playing the game, its the fact that you decide to say it in such a way that it dictates as if your trying to slam me into the floor and laugh at me. I was content with my 8 squares last round, it wasnt untill much later on that I realized I could claim more. My claim this round was a smattering of +1s and +2s, along with 0s, because I couldnt find a good concetration of Roy, Miko, and MITD that didnt have Belkars, Thog, or Elans connecting them. (Which are my -2,-3,and -4 respectivley.) Thus, when you take away 3 of my +2s (My MITDs) and three of my +1s (Xykons), I'm bound to be angry. And then you come in, state your claim and suddenly bam, its changed. While this did happen to me last round, it was to late for any protest to be made from Ezlo, and I'm sorry. But the fact is, I have time to protest this. Tell me: Pingcode, as written, could have a possible score of 60 if his Xykons, Thogs, and MITDs are worth +4/+3/+2 at the end of this round. If I had what I wanted, You would have a score of 57 on my side, AT THE GREATEST. Which is a lesser evil: My 57, or Pingcodes 60? You be the judge.

[pingcode20]

Apologies for that then. I had not meant it to be offensive or personal in any way beyond the context of playing the game.

If you've taken offense, then I am sorry and I apologise.

Very well, I relinquish D9 and F9 to you on the condition that Crystall picks up B10, C10 and D10. Fair enough for you?

[Crystall_Myr]

I'd gladly take said spaces, thank you.

[Raiser Blade]

Thats what i wants.

[Castaras]

Umm...Pingcode has 15 squares at the moment guys...

[Studoku]

Banjo hasn't even posted yet.

[banjo1985]

Well, it looks like I'm out don't it I don't post on the evenings, so by the time I logged on this morning all the spaces have gone!

As it is I see the Salmon and Pincode as having a lot of spaces, but Pingcode has nothing I want, which is a drag, because I think he'll be sitting on about 70 points at the end of this round as it is.

To be honest there's nothing left that will do me any good, so I'm at a loss as to where to go, however, if people are willing to go with this, Id like E7,F7-F9, G7, H7 & H8. It's a small section and it encroaches Crystal and Raisers areas, but to be honest I want more than 4 spaces

I'm also willing to take the Thog space to sweeten the deal if nobody around it wants it. It's +0 for me, so I don't mind either way.

Kind of like this:

[pingcode20]

I've relinquished all my holdings on rows 9 and 10 - B10-D10 are now in the possession of Crystall_Myr, and D9 and E9 are up for grabs.

[banjo1985]

To get agreement, I'd be willing to take E9 off you, as I said Thogs don't do anything to me.

I'll also nick I7 off Salmon if he doesn't mind

[pingcode20]

Sure, go for it.

[Almighty Salmon]

I7? Well.. Okay then. You can have it.
