do you really think the germans are better then the rest because they are with more players in this list ? hmm just can be it that there are more german players here then any other country ? The Netherlands stays the best

we proved it every World CHampionship

Yes, the dutch are still the best overall players.

Although I do feel the strength of the German players has improved over the last few years.
I guess there would be at least 10 dutch players in the top 20 players in the World.
But are the dutch unbeatable? No
Correct me if I am wrong.......from memory....didn't the German team win the 2006 Stratego World Cup? (4 player)
Also the dutch team lost to the British team in the 2007 World Championships. (3 player)
So really......you do not prove this EVERY tournament.......just most tournaments.

I think other countries are catching up, but still the overall strength in a team event is with the dutch.

correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't i say EVERY WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
didn't talk about the team right ? team is different, i almost won all my games for the team. 2 year after each other in the team and won 7 of 8 games. that we lost in 2006 we can thank to ****** who lost everything. how many times did an other team won ? almost none. the dutch rules !!

if i can remember myself well, the world championship is always won by dutch guys. and thats where i talked about not the team

is he lordoftheages?

answering the question violates rule 5.1

5.1. Disclosure of real names

It is unfair and strictly prohibited to mention the real name of any user on Gravon. The real name may be used if and only if this user has fully agreed to its usage. The same applies to real names of administrators.

This rule is valid for all forms of disclosure of real names of a user, including but not limited to the usage of a real name of another user as a nickname.

If a user discloses a real name of another user, he will be excluded from using Gravon for at least 1 week.

Ok rico, I thought you meant dutch team, because you talk about Dutch players as a whole......rather than individuals.

Yes, the individual tournament has been won by a Dutch player every year. But maybe not for ever this will continue.
I think the day will come when a non dutch player will win the Classic WC.
Probably sooner than you think. Like I said earlier, the Germans are improving. Endever took 2nd last year, so it is not impossible to see that this is a possibility in the next year or 2.

@ ace
yes he became second but after that he didn't won any tournament or was even close

@ againhere, from stratego we may not call real names. lets say search the topic world championships 2006 there you can find all nicks + real names

@ stratego, what the hell is wrong with it that someone knows someones real name ? its not really a secret in my opinion. and i know lordoftheages doesn't care for it

thats really funny because i played him once and i beat him in duell and he said to me he won a tourney in duell and he is ******.
but i wasnt sure if he is lordoftheages.
but as ricardo90 said it is no problem for him to say his name here.

hi ric,
there is nothing wrong as far as noone mentions the real name and the nick.
starting with the terms of condition, we add 5.1 to protect privat data.

also i dont fully agree, that it was only one player - the team takes 9
losses and a draw in total. its not that he lost all and the rest of the team
won all. with one loss you were the best player in team.

we can add a threat for privat data. user can post there, if they agree to
mention real and nick name. then all is ok.

am i banned now because i asked if ******* is lordoftheages here?

@againhere
this is not true - why do you post such a nonsence?

stratego
