Playing Duelmasters up until recently we didn't even receive out results by email. We just waited around and if it didn't come on Saturday you were going to wait until Monday.
Overall Alamaze is far superior on processing and the online order system is awesome. No more movement errors is the best.

The best for me is no more missed reinforcements. On turn 4 or 14, for example, the checker tells me that my moronic orders do not put a group at my capitol and then I fix it  .

Please do not take any of my comments as a personal insult or as a criticism of the game 'Alamaze', which I very much enjoy. Rather, I hope that my personal insight and unique perspective may, in some way, help make 'Alamaze' more fun, a more successful financial venture, or simply more sustainable as a long-term project. Anyone who reads this post should feel completely free to ignore, disregard, scorn, implement, improve, dispute, or otherwise comment upon its content.

I guess deleting my responses to a few who attacked me is a no go huh? Like Broken?

My response to you was deleted, so that should tell you something.
My comments to Beatific and Broken have been deleted. Very quick response from Alamaze there. Maybe things are getting done faster now.

All the new respond posts all talk of excepting low class service and they all like it???? That says enough about your expectations of the service, you all made my post valid, thank you all!
Now that you all had your cry and whined showing how tough you are on email talk by trying to intimidate me, maybe you can make some suggestions on how to improve service like I was trying to do. No one was dissing the game, like I said before I was playing this game long before many of you even heard about it. So stop the threats and beat me up in the game... I will leave it at that before I say something foolish like some of you posted.
A fool is not a fool if he is not foolish, fool. Guilty as charged.
A value's value has no value unless its value is valued. Shop around. Do your homework and measure the value. Then decide.
Good luck!

The above is the honest truth! Tell your friends this confidently and often.
I think everyone should be at Imperator service level and Rick should charge $99.99/ month. Good thing Rick wants everyone to play his game and so can ignore my (crazy?) thoughts!
Good things come to those who wait! I am old enough now to realize my mother was right...

Come on, guys. The player pool is small enough. Let's not say unkind things about each other. Save it for the game! There have actually been characters named HateDuPont that I have encountered, so that should give you some ideas.

Or how about playing the Troll with the pesky Gnome giving his agents names like BBQ Troll, Stir Fry TR, or Troll Sushi. I'll get you JumpingFist
