I would love to say I'd play until the end, but that would just be an evil, evil lie. My next game will be my first, and if I get totally ripped apart I'm going to do what I can to tlearn how to play, then leave when I don't have any hope, so I can play the next game. To me losing all hope is when you lose your last division.

I guess I would say that it would depend on my Total Allies, if I had any. :drunk:

If I'm the only Ally getting clobbered, I might stay around as long as possible to tie down enemy units. However, if we are collectively getting clobbered, I'd probably quit.

YMMV,

Defeat? What's that? :alien2:
Seriously, I would most likely play as long as I had a division or plane or ship left. If I had TA's in, I would keep playing as long as I would be useful to them, EM missions, rangers, battle reports, etc.
I am quite loyal. :(

Me too, I will play a game till I am dead and my TA's can live without me.
If my TA's need me I will play till the end of the game when needed.
Victory is a team game.

I never let my friends down, never :taz:

  • Interests:Victory is the greatest game I have ever found. I played 3 games in the passed. Games 15, 17, and 20. (I do beleive) Had to stop playing because of X-Wife. See X-Wife. I can play now. Victory got me started into playing games. I am glad I am home to play again. I have missed Victory. Now I hope, I can hold all of you master players off and out of my new county. <br />I am a big time gamer love pc games as well.

I stay untel I can't do anything with my country. Then I try to join a dropped country and get with my TA's and help them again, untel I can't play that country any longer. :oops:
I love to play and do what I can for my TA's. So if I am knocked out the first time I come back some where else. Just to make it fun and learn more. :angry2:

Depends on the game,

When I first started, I would drop. Now I play just to cause my eneimes as much grief as possible. :angry:

PLus it's wonderful to keep building ldb's and stuff with no regard to money or moral. :D

I mean 4000+ ldb, laa, haa and stuff in a province and a useless city. :P
