1 vs 1 Tourney...Double elimination... Lose 2 and you're out...

1st turn advantage is somewhat negated with bilsi's rules. But, cardinalsrule, your last sentence sounds like a challenge to me and I certainly would feel terrible not playing Nukes against you. Maybe it's the Biff comment in that "movie" that helped strike a nerve in me. : )

Hi Genghis,
My comment was in no way intended as a challenge. I will be happy to play any maps against you, I just like nukes a lot for 1v1. Truthfully I kind of feel like 1v1 and 2v2 is really the only way that nukes should be played. How do you feel about 12D?

 

[genghisknows]

12D will work for me

Looks like we need a Challenges thread...not a bad idea??? could be fun.

ok, on to more important stuff.....

 

[bilsi]

ok, daniel7 notified me that kinghill can't play...We need to replace kinghill before round 1 ends...I've exhausted my invites. If any of you can grab a player that'd be great...

Secondly, we need to figure out what to do in case of an awol.
After the first round, there's no replacements. And an awol player may not return.
(I have a head ache and I'm exhausted, running 2 tourney's is tough when I've never ran one).
Obviously the awol player forfeits...but big advantage to other player who gets the win.

What do we do???

Can't think no more.

 

[genghisknows]

bilsi, you are overthinking it. If a teammate goes awol, so be it. You lose, and if he does not return you really lose. It is just a tournament and not something that has to be perfect. Relax and let the chips fall where they may.

 

[bilsi]

Thanks to overyourdeadbody-Sure (awesome handle btw) for filling in for us...

still need to figure awols

 

[bilsi]

Ok, awols are gone. other player gets 2 victories...luck of the draw like a few people have said.

Can I turn off inbox for 24 hours?

yes, take a break!

I have a question for the old-timers - in 1v1 does the 2nd player always start with the same number of deploy as the first player even if he's lost a few terts?

Yes, that was an add-in with the beta version, helps level the 1st turn advantage a bit.

You Beat me to it spirop, I had a hunch it was how you said but I couldn’t exactly remember so I was searching in the formums, wiki, and blogs. I remember experimenting thing with Ha trips for the first player.

Sorry for the typos. I had a hunch it was how you said spirit but I couldn’t exactly remember so I was searching in the formums, wiki, and blogs. I remember experimenting with Half troops for the first player happening on MC as well.

OK then, I have an issue with the way the tourney is set up now. Let me explain - If you are first turn the 2nd game when you're not 'supposed' to be, and you need to skip a turn, on a bigger map, if you skip and then your opponent takes some terts with his first turn, you get less men. I'm playing bilsi and he chose the Massive map for 2nd map. I got 1st turn again, so I have to skip. BUT, he'll get 17 deploy, after he's finished attacking I'll be lucky to get 15, probably less. That's really unfair. I think that we need to limit the maps for the 2nd game to ones small enough that the deploy isn't taken away.

this, exactly, is what's happening in my first match. i'm having to skip my first turn (and not deploy deferred troops!) on massive and my opponent, who got an excellent drop, will get 17 deploy. unless he can't work the buttons, he's got it won.

EXACTLY my situation. This is inherently unfair. I have no prayer of winning my 2nd game, before it even starts.

Yeah, in larger maps where the players will get more than 3 deploy to start I think we're going to have to just keep starting new games until the 'right' player goes first. Anything else is not fair to the 2nd player. Bad enough going 2nd in a 1v1 on a big map but to then lose troops is just adding insult to injury.

@ Stephanator

We need to play and I can't figure out how to make this happen. I'm sorry for being clumsy with this I'm new. Let's play our Round 1 game, I think everybody is waiting for us at this point.
