GOLD Donor Tournament Discussion Only

[NewSheriffInTown]

Hello Fellow Gold Donors!

It is time start planning on our exclusive 500 point Gold Tournament. There are currently 33 Gold players who will be involved.

I was thinking that we can start with Six 6 Player games for the first round (with 3 dummy players to fill the empty spots), and One 6 Player game for the Final.

I would love to know if had any map or setting preferences, or if I should just choose Classic Massive or Classic Evolved and some random settings.

If you have any suggestions, then post them in this thread!

You can count Eunoia out - he hasn't logged in for a long long time. That means we have 32 players, meaning we could play 4-player or 8-player games in the first round

 

[NewSheriffInTown]

Yeah, Chefsmitty too. But I'm not going to exclude anyone because they haven't been around, everyone's included, awol or not.

 

[BroncoBlue89]

You didn't offer "Anywhere" as a reinforcement option, which would be my preference. "Border" and "Path" give too much advantage to those players that get lucky and have adjacent territories on the initial drop. In any event, I'm looking forward to the tourney. Thanks!

 

[NewSheriffInTown]

Anywhere, noted.

 

[calume]

Anywhere for me, (I didn't check border or path). thanks

 

[riskyone]

Anywhere would work for me to. Looking forward to this tournament.

Perhaps you can have the point distribution be not 100 percent but somthing like 60,30,10 or something like that

 

[Cardinalsrule]

what are you thinking with the 3 'dummy' players for round 1? Just have 3 awols, essentially? That would work, obviously, but what if you get more than 1 of them in the same game? With 5 awol players, you could easily end up with one game with only 3 players in it while the others have 6/5.

I think I will bow out, but have fun!

 

[PackerHawkeye]

Votes in! Was hoping for more fixed force votes.

I also voted path but anywhere would be better for this.

 

[BeanZ]

O voted in the poll too, don't worry packer... there's another fixed force vote now

Add another anywhere vote for me too please Mr. Sheriff

 

[zonie]

Please not the Nuke game, still don't understand that one, lol.

 

[calume]

Please not the Nuke game, still don't understand that one, lol.

same here, please skip the nuke game

 

[Cardinalsrule]

Well, "random map" isn't winning at this point, so Nukes shouldn't be a map option. That being said, if either of you two wants to learn and figure out the map, I'll be glad to play a doubles game or two with you and help you figure it out. If you're interested, message me.

 

[hanible]

I'm in on that I'd love to learn a bit more about nukes....

 

[NewSheriffInTown]

Cards, Yes to your question about the 3 dummy players. However, with 3 other players already not around, that might make 6 awols in total. That's getting a lot. Perhaps we can do this:

Round 1:
30 Players (5 Games - 6 Players)

Classic Massive
Singles
Standard
Escalate
One Anywhere
Chance
24 hours

Round 2 (Final Round)
5 Players (1 Game - 5 Players)

Classic Evolved
Singles
Standard
Escalate
One Path
Chance
24 hours

Winner gets 500 Points

P.S. I forgot to ask, Escalate or Escalite?

 

[sensadrome]

I would vote escalite, since it's probably more fun if it lasts a little longer....

 

[sensadrome]

Well, "random map" isn't winning at this point, so Nukes shouldn't be a map option. That being said, if either of you two wants to learn and figure out the map, I'll be glad to play a doubles game or two with you and help you figure it out. If you're interested, message me.

Yup, I'm up for some "open discussion" games on the Nukes map if your looking for a fourth ? We started a mini series of head-to-head Cards, might be fun to carry on using doubles... just a thought

 

[Tyro]

I like the suggestion made and would proffer the following thought: escalite does lead to a longer game, something I enjoy. It can also lead to stalemates and I think stalemates are more likely in classic evolved. So, if one game was to be escalite it might be better on classic massive. (It might make for a long, long game, but that doesn't worry me too much. In fact, so long a I have a chance I think I prefer it)
That said, I'm happy with however it gets decided.
