In the last game we played (game 5) I was playing the under-powered faction camping out in Asia, exchanging coins with the player from North America in Kamchatka.I started to get bored with all the terrible turtles - one in each of the following: Australia, Africa, North America. Since I already knew that I wasn't going to win, and really couldn't take anyone else out, I did what I could to start drama. So I figured, "Aw, what the heck." ...And you know, as some people love to watch the world burn.
I poked the turtle in Australia, I gave him an out: I attacked South East Asia, leaving one troop there and fortified my position in Japan, expecting to get completely demolished.
What happened next completely amazed me.
He didn't go after me, as I wasn't a threat. He went after the Africa Turtle. Next turn, Africa Turtle got her land back. And after that, the North America Turtle turned in his cards for a VP, and took two bases to win the game.
They now call me "The Joker" when we play, since I'm the wild card player. :arrrh:
