It makes no sense to get more than 18 centers

no your guranteed 21 centres i think

i cant add up but i dont think its 24 think more like 22

it's not something to be proud of

Do you even get any extra points for getting over 18?

in ppsc im guessing you do

I don't think you do.

No, you don't get more points - and it makes no sense.
The goal of the game it to reach 18 (50%+). It is assumed that afterwards you can go on and kill everyone else if you want to - and there's no bonus for it.
It's like kicking to death someone lying unconscious on the ground - quite the achievement :)
You should not do this.

You are guaranteed 23 centres

your current17 plus

Moscow
St. Petersburg
Warsaw
Berlin
Paris
Spain


Do the extra points just disappear then?

yeah belgiums not guranteed

This question is merely a chance to show off. I'm glad that everyone has argued that it is not a good thing at the arrogant fool!

I'm not sure if that's all gramatically correct, but what the hell? It was heartfelt!

i suppose its more how the gained turned out on the final turn

*game

There area couple stalemate lines that defend less than 17 centres so its entirely possible for someone to have 18 but still not be able to "kick you around".

What will the division of points for said game be?

For a couple things, Kiel is guaranteed when i move Belgium to Holland, nothing can stop that.
Second, those who call me "arrogant fool" and say its not something to be proud of, I don't care about pride. I wanted to know if it was a record. That's really it. Haters, stop please, do something productive. If anyone knows, just say so. It's nothing for you all to argue about. Yes, its the record. No, someone else has more. Simple.
Thank you for whomever gives me the answer.

I don't know the answer for this site, but I've seen about 22ish. It's physically possible to win with all 34 SC if you've got some countries in civil disorder or helping you out.

As a side note, it's seems quite apparent that two of your opponents: Latin and schnurstrax are meta-gaming. All four of their games are together. They seem to be allied in all four and log in times and IPs are rather damning evidence. On the bright side, it appears their cheating has been no help as they are losing 3 of the 4 games badly.

I believe in his early days WonderLlama got all 34?
It wasn't too long ago (even in the days of the point system) that you needed 18 units to win a game, meaning as long as your home SC's were occupied the game didn't finish.

actually, even if you got 18 centers, there's no guarantee that you could take the rest of the board. England can hold a 14 center stalemate line, so even if you get 20 centers, you can't assume that the player could dominate the board afterwards.

Turkey can hold a 13 centre one!

So battle_chief - you can now answer the question for everyone now that the game is over and you got 26. did you get 103/26 pts or 103/18 pts. I'm betting on 26, I think you get credit for each SC.

Actually, Turkey can hold out with just 6 SC (Con, Ank, Smy, Tun, Spa, Por) if they're facing Germany and/or England.

That assumes that Germany-England are stuck on the north Coast yes? I'm interested by the exact details of that though. Is it:
Units in Const,Armenia & North Africa
Fleets in Portugal & Western Med supporting Fleet Spain
-----
Philcore: the rules changed some time back, you did used to get points for each SC

Oh, and England can hold just 4 SC's, with 3 units, assuming StP,Germany&Brest cannot build fleets:
Fleets Portugal& Irish/English/NAO support MAO

So how exactly does that work out then? The winner of a PPSC automatically gets points for the 18 centres it takes to win, then the rest of the points are divided up evenly according to the amount of centres left?

So say you win with 20 centres or some number like that. You would only get points for 18, and then the rest of the points would be divided up evenly for the other 14 centres left?
