Recently joined the site and got knocked out round 3 of my first game. Believe I could enjoy playing a lot more if I could survive a few more rounds. Would be great if I could learn how to play properly in the Society of Cooks. Pedro1987

Am adding you now. We teach mostly terminator games and as soon as your ? mark is gone you can join those types of games. We will put you in a classroom though and you can follow along as others take there turns. These first 4 moves we teach will help in all of your game types but works best for terminator games.

Hi. I'm Seanhm. Wow, what a well-organised and slick-run gaming site. Very impressive.

Thanks for inviting me in here. I have now played 5 or 6 games and been obliterated. I have played RISK for many years and simply stumbled onto this site looking for an online version.

Looking forward to picking up some pointers. Thanks again

Hi all, I know I am a Major and all, but I am willing to get better. So I thought to join the cooks and see what I can learn. maybe if I am good enough I can teach after a while.
thanks

Hi i'm acxmikmil, I know i've played about 30 games, won about 10, but i still feel new. I can't seem to move up at all anymore. I am starting to loose more than i can win, and i don't understand the different games. Guidance/strategy/tips/help, i'm welcome to all.

Thanks,

Hello all.....I have been playing for about 2 weeks or so and been holding my own in some games and getting completely killed in others. As a law student you are taught to analyze every situation and then decide what your best course of action would be; however, due to the fact that I don't seem to be making the correct decision (played 7 or so games and lost all of them) I am turning to more skilled players than I for some tips or advice. When I got the message to join the society of the cooks, I thought, why not learn from the best. So please consider teaching me.....I would appreciate it a great deal.

Thanks a lot,
Tray

What's up, I am here also to get better... I have almost a 50/50 ratio of win/loss, and I am picking up on some tactics from the guys I play against... I have read many forum posts and all the stickies so far in this forum (or almost all of them) I am ready to learn (I also started some private sessions - so to say - with a major on some hard maps) but I would like to get good at the basic ones too.

I am already a tourney organizer, thinking that the more you get involved, the faster you learn...

So here I am, I WANT TO LEARN!!!! TEACH ME TEACH ME ..... =D>

I will be a premium somewhat soon (if all the spots of my ppgangster's WHITE GOLD tourney fill in - it should be in 3 days, if not maybe 1 month... maybe earlier) so I can learn more, faster!!!

Thanks for pulling this out, this is AWESOME ... (have I said AWESOME already?) ...

Hello.

Proper noob, thought that I would review the forums before I started playing, and saw this and thought that this looked the best place to start.

Would be very grateful for some training.

Thanks in advance.

Ahoy!

I'm not a Cook but I'd like to join this, it looks interesting!

Where do I sign?

(BTW, I speak Spanish, so if there's ever a section for Spanish speakers who don't know a lot of English and are getting confused I could do my best to help out.)
