I've finally learned how to use BGO and I'm interested in joining a game.

I know that means I should just be sure to join the next game that's posted. So actually I'm posting here so that this thread's on my "new replies" list.

[Drab Emordnilap]

You could always start a game.

[rspeer]

Good idea. Do you suggest 3 or 4 player?

[rspeer]

Ohhh wait. I should probably do this after the weekend where I travel somewhere with no Internet. I'll totally start or join a game a week from now, though.

I find 3p is the ideal number for TTA but most of our games are 4p.

[Tables]

I think 4p is best for online play, although it's a pretty small difference.

[Thisisnotasmile]

4p would be fine apart from the fact that there's always one person who takes 2 days to take each of their turns. I find it doesn't happen so much in 3p.

I agree, 4p games seem to take considerably longer; I personally prefer 3p.

F.DS 52 up, 3 player global game (because 3p is best). One of these games I will prove I'm good at using my military, hasn't happened yet...

52 is already going, you're 53

Think it should say "Led by" not "Led Be", also Napoleon is best, unfortunately he isn't in the game in question he's my favourite leader at the moment

[Tables]

Eh I did it at 3am, I think you can forgive the typo .

Shouldn't that be "lead by", or has the phonetic transcription become accepted since Led Zeppelin?

[ftl]

No, led is correct. I don't know whether it has anything to do with led zeppelin, likely not.

[ipofanes]

ok my English lessons are a thing of the distant past, for some reason I thought that "led" would, just because it rhymes with "read", follow the same spelling.

Your fatal mistake was assuming the English language would follow any kind of sensible structure or pattern.

I doubt there is any other language using the Latin alphabet which such a loose association between spelling and pronounciation. Case in point: through, though, trough, tough. Four different pronounciations.

[Watno]

There's French.
You can deduce how a word is pronounced from the spelling (by simply ignoring the last 1-3 letters), but not the other way round.

You missed bough and hiccough... and I think there's one more I'm missing.

English spelling vs pronunciation is awful.

Is it really hiccough? I've gone through my entire life thinking that it's spelled "hiccup".

It can be spelled both ways.  "Hiccough" is the original spelling, but most spell is "hiccup" now because of the pronunciation.

Also: Game 54 is up!  4 Player global.

[Twistedarcher]

I'd join, but I think I've taken enough beatings for a bit...

Four wars in 3 rounds...grumble...lesson learned!

3 in 1 round is worse though, had that on F.DS game before
