xinjiang: psychological advantage. india is likelier to be possessive about the bonus, and waste time/troops to possess it. xinjiang is likelier to use tibet too.
north africa: i don't know. can't go to mygames any more.
moron thinks that gui is not considering the fact that west russia could have been a good 6 pick as well. (previously moron has put a deeper explanation of his first statement, but moron is still confident in gui's deductive skills) I am pretty happy because that game proves my point better than all your argumentations (or supposed to be so). But moron might be wrong, after all moron is a moron:/
you know the enemy is in w africa. you try to take it anyway. sometimes taking a 4 bonus in 2 turns fails. what if he charged sa?
you don't know if he is in russia. what if he is? so you battle in russia, india and sa/africa. are you at a disadvantage? he has to hit more neutrals to see you.
you don't know if he is in russia. do you know hurry's tendencies? some people dislike russia. some prefer 5s. why did you think he was in russia? wild guess? why did you think he wouldn't bullrush sa? wild guess?

Don't you think you should use adverbs more carefully if you pretend to be the grammar sheriff too?

I am losing my confidence in gui's deductive skills.
- he have multiple options. u have intel. intel no say he in russia. intel say he in africa.
- y u think he russian? u silly boy talk talk talk no answer questions.
- y u think he no go sa strong like bull?
- what u know about hurry picking and playing style? is it helpful?
me ask many questions. only want show many uncertainties. me no know hurry. no know enough trust sa. no know russia. assume he know u in sa. scand feel safer. worse case scenario: u bbattle in three places. attack 9 in scand first move. he in russia maybe he pop up. he no pop up scand is yours and you can enter russia with 3-5 late, maybe hit hurry and keep him from get bonus.
Silli trolli thinks (4) hurry no bull so (3) he knows he wouldn't have charged sa cos hurry no bull, (2) before of having played the game silli trolli has read an article in wich it was written that there aren't bulls in russia, so he thinks: hey hurry no bull! hurry might be there! After that he went to check if hurry was a panda, but hurry no panda as well! so he realizes: hey hurry is kangaroo! better to shoot the kangaroo before he punches me! (1) you are right! he could have been a koala, a kangaroo, or an ural owl, silli trolli knows he is not a bull so that he thinks: hey I know hurry africa but I know hurry no bull! go for sa!!!
When it comes to ladder rating, luck like this (not between two good players) can have the worst impact. Note I also got first pick so the rating drop was higher :P
