Unbelievably, I'm back on the very same day as a previous post, this time to bring to your attention a new link in the aptly named "Other Stuff" category. It's to a site called Conquer Club, and for the strategy-minded, it's an exceptionally great way to waste a few minutes at a time without having to make a major commitment.
The idea is, take the classic board game RISK, change the rules ever so slightly, add a bazillion different maps, each with their own rules variations, and let people around the globe go at it. Up to four games at once is free, and for a mere $20 a year, you can play in as many games as you like and even start your own, publicly or in private. There's a well-moderated feedback system, the requisite forum, tournaments, and lots of other options. Win/loss ratios are tracked fairly, and you only have to take your turn once a day (but if you're not a complete jerk, you'll try for twice a day just to keep things moving).
If you make your way over there, look for Chief Beef and drop a line in my club inbox.

Wow. Tell me more about this "Conquer Club". Can anyone play? Even people who SUCK at RISK? I mean, could someone with no experience in this CC be able to just play? That sounds like a lot of fun!
Welcome back to blogging, Slap Shot!
Yes, anyone can play.
But you have a better Cwod record than I do, at this point!
So I bow to your mad skillz.
w00t.
Really? From my perspective, it seems like you are always The Victor!
Nah, you and Rob had a good run of four or five victories in a row, AND you won the last game.
This is great info to know.
