CaseyRobinson:

Dannimal (Hegemony) over Casey (Moloch) the game timed out but he was up about 10-1. Had an opportunity to finish me on the last turn he played before disappearing but didn’t. Doesn’t really matter, I wasn’t coming back.

I did finish it, actually (6-0). I wonder if it timed out before you got a chance to see the “Finished” turn/notification.

CaseyRobinson · 2015-11-05T13:37:05.000Z

I never got a notification and whenever I went to see if I missed it my base was still there and it was telling me you were not connected. Weird.

I have a couple left to play against Joe and Dannimal… I can’t remember if I started those and let them elapse, it’s been crazy busy IRL. Sent invites, but if I’d timed out I’m happy to concede rather than replay, let me know!

Joe ducked out of the tourney.

Joe is playing Vs me right now… I thought he had ducked out but he can obviously be temped back… Sucker

Joe_Bolt · 2015-11-09T21:52:49.000Z

I was planning on sitting this one out. Work had slowed down and then Casey sent me an invite, guess my name was still on the list. I couldn’t resist and after those results other challenges came in. NHex, why can’t I quit you?

clyve > JBolt

Welcome back, Joe :)

clyve · 2015-11-10T12:32:40.000Z

clyve > dannimal

Dannimal made an early mistake that would have been easily remedied if we were playing in person :(

Joe > K_Wat
Glad you’re back Joe :). But came back to unload a butt-kicking :p. 19-20 going into the final 2 turns with 80% of the board covered in my units (but rendered useless by ugly defensive positioning or avoidance of Joe’s board control modules), Joe ended it without a scratch.

Very good game, Joe.

Thanks, K_Wattington. Although the tiles came in just as I needed them. Each turn I was hoping I could get something to place in the way. Great game!

clyve · 2015-11-17T06:08:02.000Z

Keep those results Rollin in! We are close!

clyve · 2015-11-17T06:08:26.000Z

Should we try something different for the next tourney? Ideas?

Everyone lets me win?

K_Wattington · 2015-11-19T04:52:36.000Z

Dan and I tied, do we rematch or both bet 0.5 wins? [emoji14]

clyve · 2015-11-19T04:53:22.000Z

You gotta replay! Someone must bleed etc

clyve · 2015-11-19T04:53:44.000Z

dannimal:

Hmmmm

dannimal · 2015-11-19T07:43:54.000Z

clyve:

Hmmmm

I automatically win any/all ties?

K_Wattington · 2015-11-23T06:50:12.000Z

Dann > K_Wat in the rematch.

Dannimal displayed exactly why I should have let him automatically win any/all ties. He seized control early and wouldn’t relinquish it. Well played sir.

Dave_Perkins · 2015-11-23T07:29:52.000Z

For the next tourney, I would suggest a 2v2 format, where the partners each round are randomized. I would also suggest that those of you who aren’t on the Qt3 Slack channel join it for strategy talk (if we do 2v2). It’s so fun to debate what to do each turn! Annie and I are teamed up in some kind of international 2v2 tournament. (Undefeated so far!)

But here I think we should randomize the pairings in each round, and play both sides of the match. For example, if the teams are me/dannimal vs clyve/kyle for the matchup jungle/outpost vs sharrash/steel police, then each team would play each side once, with total score breaking a 1-1 tie if there is one.

Play like 4 rounds of this, and then the people with the best records go to some kind of final match.

Sending Joe an invite for my final game!
