Longest losing streak I've seen...….especially by an active player.

Have seen losing streaks in the 50s of players who suddenly AWOL. Doesn't seem to be the case here, as recently active and didn't have a huge game queue.

I'm not sure about my math, but has he won about 17% of his games? if so he must have been in a lot at one time at had to take a break and lost them all. Happened to me once. That is why mine is in the 20's or 30's

dont trust the longest losing streak. there was a discussion on it years ago. may players who kept track of such things didnt believe theirs was accurate.
there was no consensus, just that ut didnt appear right.

Mine is accurate surely (19). When I started here, thought 3v3 was even odds, and that there was a numerical advantage in a 3v2 attack. Thank goodness someone eventually pointed me to the Wiki!

A previous thread discussing it.
https://www.majorcommand.com/forums...-losing-streak/page3?highlight=longest+losing

While I was once sure of how it was calculated, I researched 1 person as shown in the chat and it was definitively off. For him.
No conclusions on why.

Aw Brian, you're so cute. This made me smile.

My long losing streak came from my first day here. If you play real time, leave the page, and don't realize the game will still start, you can lose a ton of games in a night.

Longest MajCom Game: 50+ years

Per the end of game message, my 1v1 with Lokis took just over 50 years to complete.
https://www.majorcommand.com/games/503455/

18,295 days is about 50 years, 1 month, and 15 days.

We need those new reserve rules ASAP!


Note: The game took just less than two days (see screenshots 2&3), but thought it was interesting :laugh:

nice catch, Virtuoso

Even if it was a record, the update function doesn't work since over a year or so, so we can't add it anyway...

Wiki is back up and working :biggrin:

Hot Dice Roll (could be a new Sushi name actually)

So i had a great 3vs2 dice run against poor old brianstheman (wasn't really the man on that particular occasion) and had a consecutive 13 double fires (26 troops) before losing my first troop.

Can anyone beat that?:aetsch:

That is indeed one more double flame than the current record (see here)
Anyone care to update it now that it's again possible?

Btw interesting way of proving it - taking a photo of your screen. Wouldn't it be better/easier just to take a screenshot?

 

[Spartacus1]

Yes it sure is one more than the current holder..

I am currently using my wife's apple (that i hate, may i add) and have no idea how to take a screenshot, so there you go mate..

 

[NewSheriffInTown]

What was the game number?

 

[brianstheman]

It was this game.
https://www.majorcommand.com/games/501836/

Sparty has promised to go after the record for consecutive ices against me next.

 

[NewSheriffInTown]

This is the best I could with the images

 

[pinzky]

I found this game longer than the record for a lot of turns https://www.majorcommand.com/games/404013/

Perhaps a new category - Longest Tournament Ever

Began: August 28, 2014
Ended: March 26, 2020

Congrats to NDRM for persevering FIVE YEARS in!!!

 

[Sebrim]

sorry, but having a tournament that says it started does not mean it actually did start. The first game odf first round started only on February 1st, 2020, so it was rather a quick tournament, actually (because of the many AWOLs, I guess)

 

[brianstheman]

Sebrim - good point!!! Submission withdrawn

[engineerairborne]

Not sure if this is a record or just bad luck 17 v 2 lost them all.

 

[periwinkle]
