Associating Players with Country
Am I the only one who, when I think of a certian player, generally think of them playing one country? Like MM and Achillies make me think of Austria, Zmaj and Draugnar of Italy, etc?

just wondering if anybody else does this

That's funny cause Germany, Russia and France are my best nations.
krellin (80 DX)

I don't really get it....because unless we know what you think of the nation and what you think of the player, your supposed connection is kind of meaningless.

No....I don't do this at all, particularly since I personally play every country different, and play them different when I play them different times. So the idea of attributing a nation to MYSELF is foreign (other than that I despise Austria)....so I would certainly not apply a nation to others.

Each game is unique, each player is unique, based upon each unique game.

achillies27 (100 D)

I do this too fortress, I do it generally based on the first country I saw them as.
I think of MiM as France, Zmaj as russia, you as austria. Tyran as Austria as well... Etc, Etc.

@Draugnar

i think i remeber you as Italy because of Thucy's game

@Krellin

I never said it WAS meaningful, just that it was interesting. Each game is different, I understand that, but some stand out more than others, so you associate them with that coutry. I associate Zmaj with Italy due to his Drunken Master opening and, as well as the fact that he seems to get Italy a bit, at least from what I see

Tyran, you are England in my mind.. krellin, you are a Germany
achillies27 (100 D)

Draugnar (0 DX)

Now when playing I often forget who is playing what nation and just play against the nation not the player.
Tyran (914 D)
08 Sep 12 UTC
:p I'm England which I can't seem to win as :) and Austria where I almost solo and then get owned....
achillies27 (100 D)
08 Sep 12 UTC
Draug, I do that to, that is why I have no fear of possibly meta gaming, cuz it wouldn't even affect anything. Also, gotta say, for all the mods, I dont meta game.
Tru Ninja (1016 D(S))
08 Sep 12 UTC
No. I usually don't even pay attention to who is playing what country and most frequently refer to a person as their country while in-game and by their name in the forum.
Fortress Door (1837 D)

I go against the nation in-game as well, but one of the biggest thrills of anon to me is finding out who everyone else was.

Eden, I think of you as France, not sure why
hellalt (24 D)
08 Sep 12 UTC
President Eden is France, cause he is diplomatic, soft and while fun to be with noone cares about him (like France)
Draugnar is Italy cause he always has all those master plans about conquering the world but again noone cares about him and ends up with a draw :P
hehe
Tantris (2456 D)

Hellalt, what country do you associate me with, assuming you remember me at all....
hellalt (24 D)
08 Sep 12 UTC
I think we have played only one game and you were Italy so that popped in my mind but I don't remember your gaming style at all.
Draugnar (0 DX)
08 Sep 12 UTC
Hellalt will forver be Greece. I picture him as Italy or Austtia with one last desperate fleet clinging on to lofe and hanging out in Greece at the mercy of his neighbors.
So like Greece in real life, right?
hellalt (24 D)
08 Sep 12 UTC
ahahah good one Draugnar but I prefer armies instead of fleets
President Eden will forever be England in my books, from a game we played almost two years ago now. He's a crafty little bugger who will eat you alive if you turn your eye off of him. That is how I think of England, and that is how I think of Eden.

hellalt just seems like an Italy to me. THM is Germany

Particular mid-game situation: input needed.
I'd say that I am doing quite well in both early- and late-game situations, but my mid-game is severely lacking. In the last game I played (gameID=92638), a difficult situation arrived at the end of 1906. I obviously didn't play it all too well, but as I am completely unsure what I should have done, I would appreciate some input.
