green should not be able to run out every single timer from a position like this

[lilac moss]

ye i agree!

[dusty rune]

they were probably pissed that they were ganged up on

[lyric osprey]

nobody hit them they were just cardblocked

and they had a way to escape, they COULDVE fortified next to whites kamchatka

before they stalled the game out, theyd either have an excuse to hit white, and ruin whites game, or white would move in a way to give cards

literally no excuse to stall out full timers when cbed

i think one of the worst things about Risk as implemented here is how many games end up with two players teaming up to guarantee each other at least second place. i think it really ruins the game.

Imagine sports working that way: Hey guys, how about when you and I play each other, we just take turns winning and make sure none of our players get tired or injured, and we do this until we defeat all the other teams. Then you and i can fight for first.

do you not understand that in this position, i have literally 0 incentive here to hit green?

you win a risk game by eliminating players -- someone has to be eliminated for this game to end. And if i can eliminate someone by seemingly doing no work, visibly. I will 1000% do it

why would I give green cards here and stall the game out? I have NO reason to

if i was in greens position, i wouldve acted sooner and tried to force white into letting me back into the game

or tried to fortify on orange and make them take indonesia and trade behind me

I am hesitant about kicking a player. Alternatively you can create a stalling warning popup the first time around and the second time you try to stall your own timer is reduced to 30 seconds. Maybe even down to 15 if you max out again without doing anything. Also you need to identify what stalling actually is. Doing nothing at all is easy to detect but using 30 seconds for deploying, 30 seconds for slow attacks and 30 seconds for moving is doing something within your time but in reality it is stalling. Probably needs some more logic to allow for resetting the timer back to normal...
