There are definately people or teams where I know I will have to play well to win, but I think I do play well, so that doesn't bother me.
I'm wondering if anyone else has the experience of playing to the level of the competition? When we play against highly ranked teams our play is near flawless, but when we play against teams that make obvious mistakes or with obvious newbs we tend to rush moves and take the win for granted. I call it drop and go. Drop the armies on the board and attack the enemy with them.
i play each and every game with a certain intensity you can ask anyone my stratigy my tolerance for mistakes are all the same if im playing noobs or pros. Might be the lessons ive learned in the early days for takin nnoobs for granted.

I can tell you all about what ladd is talking about.

usually the better team wins but if you play the same cooks 10 games in my posistion and lose one game im still losing more points than i can gain. Ive lost 90-100 points a couple times when those 3 vs 3 attacks get hot ive even seen 3 vs 8 get dominated a time or 2 sometimes the stars just line up.
In one of those games now, cook goes first and takes three territories with a 6 without losing an army... Good strategy or not,its not really something you can adjust to easily...

That is the right answer, but I have found that I am usually in more games than my RL will allow me to play at a very high intensity level so I pick my spots. I usually only care about the team games or tournament games, I am trying for the Assasin and Terminator medals, and I don't hyper analyze those games.
I usually employ the drop and go after we have a significant advantage in team games. I can remember only one trips game we lost that we should've won and that was because we lost a 13v2 to pierce a bonus.
