A&A Tournament - results

docbrown's picture

I've started a new thread in which to keep the rules and results.  Please use the other thread for discussion so we can keep this reasonably well organized.  First, here's the list of players (scores will be added here as games are completed):

  1. docbrown                         4
  2. humphrse                        4
  3. Ross                                 2
  4. Tigerpiper                        5
  5. drkillitz69                         3
  6. Markus                            3
  7. Tashen                            4
  8. larche1976                      5
  9. InGeneral                        3
  10. j35t3r                              5

We'll set up 20 games.  Every person will play 10 games and will score 1 point per game if his team wins.  We'll optionally have a second round of 5 games played by the top 5 players as per comments in the other thread, but let's get through round 1 first.  So we'll have games 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, and so on up to 10A and 10B.  This way I can assign each of the 10 players to either game 1A or 1B and so on.  I'm using random.org to generate 10 numbers between 1 and 2 to determine whether each person is in game A (1) or B (2).  I'm doing that 10 times.  After I generated the games randomly, I verified that each person played every other person a minimum of 3 times and a maximum of 6 times (which required trading players between the A and B games several times).  You should play each other person an average of 4.4 times, and I wanted to keep the matchups as random as possible, hence the range of times playing other people.

The person listed below with an asterisk will be responsible for creating the game and reporting back the results.  For the subject of your post, please include the game designation (e.g. 1A, 3B, etc...) and the game ID assigned by battleforces (e.g. 22371-22076).  We'll start with games 1A and 1B.  As soon as the game gets started, please post in this thread with which players are on which team.  Once the game is over, edit your post (don't make a new one!) and indicate which team won and who gets points.  Game leaders for games 2A and 2B, please wait until both games 1A and 1B have been created (as indicated by posts in here), then contact the other players in your game to make sure they have a spot free before creating a game.  So on for games 3-10.

Good luck to everyone as we approach the final few games of this great tourny.

Before I go any further I'd like to thank DocBrown for throwing this together and keeping everything updated. There are a few others who are responsible for creating numerous games and keeping track of them as well, but without DocBrown we'd all be lost. 

 

Its been a great tourny so far. Some good/bad dice, good/bad descisions, some surprizing strategies, some working (Turn 5 Britain Blitz ;p), some failing (getting Germany captured turn 2 lol), even a couple deadbeats/autoplays. All in all, its been a great experience and really shows that all it takes for a handful of people to have fun is to get together and throw down!

 

The last point I want to bring up is that no one is safe in these final rounds. Just because you have 5 points right now doesn't mean you can't flop on your last two games and a 3-4pointer can pass you! 

The inverse applies to the 3-4 pointers. Don't think you're out of the tourny just yet!!! If you win your last 2-3 games you could pull past the 5 pointers to get yourself into the finals!

 

Regardless of your current or ending standing, everyone should be proud they made it this far. A month-long 10 game tourny is pretty spectacular. I can only imagine what will come next! (1v1 Africa Tourny, 2v2 Indian Ocean Tourny, 5v5 10man world Tourny, or even better, first person to win 2 12player grand royale!!!!).

 

 

Good luck and god speed! See you in the finals! <---- hopefully ;p

leaderboard- semi trash talk warning

Am I the only one that is glad DocBrown and Humphrse don't have wins yet?

Those two, and Jester (when he sends in turns), seem to me to be the best tacticians here.

 

drkillitz69's picture

i am

the best here...you just dont know it yet.

docbrown's picture

.

Haha.  Thanks for the compliment.  It probably doesn't help my win % that I play Jester in all of my first 5 games.  Of the first 4, I haven't ended up on the same team with him yet.

humphrse's picture

.

I'll gladly accept the award for "Best Player to not win anything during the tournament". :)

Sort of like my fantasy football team this year. I was the 3rd highest point scorer (out of 12), and never had the high point in any given week, nor did I make the playoffs. After winning the whole thing last year ...

Got it.

Yeah.  That was game 2A.  I jumped the gun a bit on entering results since I was the first one eliminated, and I put down that you guys won right then, even though technically it took you a few extra turns.  On to the next game!

I actually sent invites out a couple days ago.  We're just waiting on you right now!  I sent you another invite in case it got missed.

Game 2b results

I was expecting drkillitz69 to give you the results to this game since he was our host, but he told me that he was preoccupied. Anyways, the allies won game 2b.

drkillitz69's picture

game 2 b

allies win!

Markus,Tashen,drkillitz +1

InGeneral,William +0

good game guys!

humphrse's picture

not sure if ..

not sure if William is still playing. In 3 hours, he will be 2 days into no moves for one of the tournament games

Tigerpiper's picture

he's not joined 3 B either. bummer

bummer

Markus's picture

yea...

is there a way to switch in ross for william? that might need to happen fairly soon

docbrown's picture

.

He did miss one turn in our game.  I think he managed to log in shortly before the turn ended so he managed to not miss two turns.  He may have just had a crazy weekend or something.  Unless there is a great deal of protest, I'm inclined to leave him in for now.  I think a good line is that anyone that deadbeats will be immediately dropped from the tournament and replaced (Ross would then start with whatever points the player he's replacing had managed to accumulate).  Does that sound reasonable?

William's picture

god damnit. I was gone all

god damnit. I was gone all weekend, I managed to get one move in. I'm still mving in my other game. Can I be issued back into games please? It's kind of not that accurate if Ross gets my points, when he could have either had more or less, given the circumstances

docbrown's picture

.

From what I understand, you ended up deadbeating in two games.  With only 10 games each, it's just not fair to your teammates.  I think this was mentioned previously when we were originally working out terms for the tournament as grounds for replacement.  Sorry man.  We'll definitely run this tournament again.  Win or lose, I've had a lot of fun and will probably try to organize it once a quarter or so.

humphrse's picture

no problem here

That's fine with me. I just wanted to make sure we still had 10 people active ...

Tigerpiper's picture

William just pm'd me

and said he was still active but full for game slots. so he should be submitting turns, and we'll start his game when he has a slot.

drkillitz69's picture

ok

sending out game 2b invites...i hope i get it right...

humphrse's picture

Problem

Problem with my game - we don't have factories ..........

docbrown's picture

You're right

I'll try to get the game deleted and start a new one.  I though for sure I had the right settings enabled.  I must have forgotten to uncheck "No preset factories."

Admins said it would disappear after 3 turns in which no human players entered a turn.  I've created a new game and sent out PMs.

Tigerpiper's picture

Is round 2 starting?

Just curious.

humphrse's picture

not yet

we haven't even gotten the first game off the ground in the other bracket

docbrown's picture

Without Woodruff now.

Woodruff said he was dropping all his games and quitting the site.  I'm taking him at his word and replacing him with William.  I'll send William a pm and get him into game 1B so we can get it started.  Once 1B starts, we'll try to get round 2 games started as well.

Woodruff's picture

Correct

I thought I had sent you a PM to remind you to take me out of the tournament, so I apologize that I didn't.  But yes, please do replace me.  Thanks.

 

(I'm down to 18 games left now.  (laughing))

Ross's picture

Substitute?

I'll take his spot, if you don't have a substitute already.

.

We do have one already, but I'll put you down as a reserve in case someone else drops out.
