Asynchronous communications often results in poor communications/misunderstandings. Soooo....

Tournament game started with me as the Allies and Fafnir as the Axis.
KorutZelva should this count in the tournament or the next once that I will run?

Fun indeed, plotting a new strategy, will lull him into complacency with lackluster play then spike the ball :)

All,
If you have been following this thread I have offered to host the next tournament. Looks like we have two games going already:
Me as Allies against Fafnir as the Axis AND I think YohanTM2 as Axis and BPINisBACK as Allies.

Since we have just started I am open to looking at different ways to run the tournament: Pyramid, Ladder, some kind of point system, etc. Please send your comments this way. In any case I guess we should all start fresh which wipes out my past abysmal showing :-).

Also I think it makes sense to start a fresh thread.

Hi!
I didn't notice that the tournament will change. I've been on vacation.
As i am a begginer in tournament management i will be agree with the wise decision of the people used to play them.

Why don't you create an ELO based system where people with lower or equal rank an issue a challenge. I also would not mind being able to play more than one game at a time.

All,
One idea I had is that a challenge has to be two games at same time with each player playing both sides. Although there are players that consistently win with the Axis, this dual game method would take that into consideration.


Still looking for more ideas. Thanks MrLongleg.

That might be a problem for those of us who don't have time for more than one game at a time.

All,
What does everyone think of the Elo Rating System?

For our next tournament.

Sugar(Axis) wins over Rannug(Allis). Para drop in London ends the game in november 43. Allies lost 360 units!!! and Axis lost 14 units. I was hoping to last into 44 but only "perfect" weather could have made that possible. Still I did better then last time I got sugared. I'm playing another game against Hberg who is VERY good as Allies and he did put up a better fight against Sugar then me and he still got sugared.

Is there no insulin out there? Someone...anyone....

Congratulation to Sugar, who capture the top spot of the very official SC tourney.

Now to cap off the tournament. The 30th game. One final brawl.

The stakes: to determine the best non-robot player. [;)]

KZ vs Rannug!

I say we should do a repeat our 2005 match-up (aka me Allies and you Axis). What says you? [:)]

Ok, but I rather not see a lot of uberdiplo... you can beat me anyway. I think there shouldn't be any diplo on majors nations or max one chit per nation to be used. I'll start the game tomorrow.
