LA CRÈME DE LA CRÈME

Monthly Top 10 Game

Eduardoperezc Productions presents the new MC fashion: LA CRÈME DE LA CRÈME.

What is LA CRÈME DE LA CRÈME?

LA CRÈME DE LA CRÈME is a monthly 10-player game offered only to the Top 10 players of the scoreboard.

Invitations will be sent on day 1 of every new month. If 48 hours later the game hasn't begun, invitations will be sent to the next 10 players, etc.

The settings will be: Singles, Escalate, One, Path. The maps will be chosen in alphabetic order.

The awards will be a lot of points, the right to participate in the next monthly game, and public recognition in this thread.

If you can't play LA CRÈME DE LA CRÈME yet, try harder!

Filthy players will be punished with one or more games without playing, according to the importance of their bad ettiquette in these or other MC games. Sanctions won't be communicated to avoid absurd arguments.

What's considered to be filthy:

-Breaking diplos and encouraging others to break diplos (without alibi).

-Insulting (without alibi).

-Suiciding or helping another player win (without alibi).

"Alibi" means that the behaviour is in response to a previous aggression or involuntary: that is accepted.

Hey man. Thanks for the invite. I think the idea of a monthly high-level game is fun. But, honestly, I think the name is a little obnoxious. Most of us are at the top of the scoreboard because we had runs of good luck and because, for the most part, we hoard our points like Smaug hoards treasure. There are a lot of truly excellent players far down on the scoreboard who make it a point not to care about their point totals. And there are quite a few people near the top who really aren't that outstanding--just solid players who want a big rank and are really careful about what games they join. I'm not saying one way is better than the other; people play for different reasons.

I guess my point is just that LA CRÈME DE LA CRÈME is a bit rich for me.

(Please forgive the pun. I can't help it. I love puns.)

It's a cool name! I'd bet you are jealous because you are not yet in la crème de la crème, that is easy to resolve, you have your invitation ;)

And I agree with you about the Smaugs, but I'd say that so far they haven't entered because they know they are not la crème de la crème. If they want to prove they haven't forgotten how to play risk since they earned those points in World War II, doors are open!

Last week Ed said there shouldn't be so many 1vs1 tournaments coz anyone could win them, so I dared him to play best of 25 and he chickened out stating it's like flipping a coin... now he starts a singles forum competition :p
Obviously he's careful with his rank so he can call himself creme de la creme :p

Lol! It's funny you bring that up. I also saw his post about 1v1s being mostly about luck and not strategy, and I was considering challenging him to a best of 5. Luck my ass!

Okay, I'll join the game. But only because I'm interested in playing you. I've never seen your name before. Are you good? We will see.

Well said, Namelochil. Although, I do consider you one of the 'Crème de la Creme' of this site, having played against you more than a few times. You're on MY list of top 10 players on the site.

Well, for one thing, this isn't a 1v1 game (or monthly recurrence of games) that he started. You're comparing apples to oranges. For another, kindly refrain from the publicly "calling out" of other players. It's NOT appropriate on a public forum. Your comments added nothing of a positive nature whatsoever to the thread. If you have an issue with Eduardo, keep it between the two of you or post on a private forum for CentCom.

Cardinals, Aura doesn't like chicken. Maybe he's a vegan.

Namelochil, we have played before, neither of us won :) Good to have you in the game, thank you (and you too, Adam).

If you have any doubts, post here.

Maybe change it in a monthly game for people who earned their generals medal? Think you honour crème de la crème more that way

master organizes regular games for the generals clan, so that might be a bit redundant.
i have my doubts when if ever i should be able to find myself in the crème, but if i did, id like to play these games for sure. that being said, just as a suggestion, how about opening up one of those spots to whoever wishes to join, or for whoever currently holds place #200 on the scoreboard? offer up an opportunity for an uncrème to observe the greats working their magic. put an element of risk in those games by actually being able to lose a lot of points, put some pressure on the crème?

Once, you can't play only because you gave those 1000 points to th-child jajaja. I'm sure you will be able to play in a month or two ;)

Thanks for the suggestions, when the game is more stablished we could make changes once in a while.

Awww. Cards, you charmer, stop! You'll make me blush.

You're not half bad yourself, by the way.

Wait a minute. I'm so confused. Are Eduardoperezc and Tormenta the same person? ...that might explain why I didn't remember ever seeing the name "Tormenta" until a couple days ago.

As for Eduardoperezc, if I remember correctly, you tried a cute trick at the beginning of our epic doubles game a little while ago, and my partner handed you your hat.

Not exactly. Eduardoperezc disappeared in a storm and when it was over Tormenta appeared.

Mmmm we're in a doubles together but I don't know what the hell you're talking about :), I haven't had any contacts with your team so far, I think.

Does that make me la crème de la crème de la crème?

My win was complete luck, by the way. Pyth came very close but left me with an easy kill for five cards.
