- In my experience, I've never had trouble grabbing enough land at
- the start without using land-grabbing tools. Type very fast and
- don't pay any attention to what you are taking - just enclose as
- much land as possible in as little time as possible. Or maybe I've
- just been lucky to not be next to users of land-grabbing tools.
-
- I am bored with start islands. They're fair. So what. Maybe if I
- was concerned about winning a fair game I would like start
- islands. I don't have time for that anymore though, so I'd rather
- have some fun with shared landmasses.
