I think that the reserves coudl stay where they are but once a player gets a chance to turn in, a popup needs to show on teh screen (similar to teh size of the deploy dialog)

Then once a player has reserves they can trun in, once they begin the turn, a box pops up and asks them if they want to trun in.
They can Click and move on.

Like this??

I really like that idea. At first I was going to play devils advocate and say it would take longer in an RT game, but really, it's so much more intuitive I think it might actually be quicker. Obviously the benefits to new players is huge, I think this one feature might single handedly retain a large percentage of the ultra-noobs for whom this is their first experience with online risk-like gaming.

no... no no no...

zsp, you absolutely SLAY me on the fact that you consider your suggestion worthy of a "+1 post" and that your idea would become law. You're making yourself look more and more ridiculous with every post.

What humors me even more was the quick transformation from:

And I f'ing came up with this idea months ago and no one gave it it's proper consideration!

Regardless of the means being used (intutive or not), THERE. WILL. BE. IDIOTS. We can all agree with that. People choose to forget the time when they were stupid. Stupidness both loves and shaft's us. It's rare to see stupid punch us in the face with complete ridiculousness. Solution: don't be stupid.

PS - TheProwler would NOT be proud of your excessive amount of useless pictures. Keep up the good work.

Stating the obvious is your strong suit.

Stating "mathematical 'facts'" is not.

Nor is demonstrating any so-called "funny" posts you may puke up.

But anyway, back on topic. Glad this was short-listed.

hey... 1/4 of your post could be considered a compliment...

i'd say that's pretty good coming from you...
I'm guessing it's a new years' resolution to try harder to be nice?
lol, but we both know that won't last a full day... hahaha

but seriously, i too am glad this idea has been put on the short-list

perhaps we should all have a new years resolution to be nicer to each other and forget past differences?

you have 9 reserves, unselected. This could get ugly with longer names, evan can work up a solution. Maybe [SuperLongNa...]

Good idea, glad it made the list.
