Can I start challenging people? The rats are getting bite-y.

Dave_Perkins · 2013-12-10T13:14:47.000Z

ALmost! L!

Dave_Perkins · 2013-12-10T13:54:29.000Z

Go!

With seven armies involved, I think we should go with top three. Top-seeded player gets a bye and plays the winner of #2 and #3.

Please report scores, as they will be used to break ties for seeding!

clyve · 2013-12-10T14:14:49.000Z

Awe Potts didn’t make it huh? I tried to get that lazy guy to send his PM…

Ok so we challenge everyone once, right?

clyve · 2013-12-10T15:45:06.000Z

Challenges sent out to the top four (actually, Prolix beat me to it).

opkopk · 2013-12-10T16:05:30.000Z

Vesper:

I don’t know if these results got reported, but Opk beat me Hegemony over Dancers (barely), and I beat Athros Outpost over New York.

Yeah, I beat Vesper and Mysterio. I haven’t posted them because I’m too self important to be bothered. Got lucky in both.

prolix · 2013-12-10T16:29:04.000Z

Challenges out to clyve, jay, and joe…

prolix · 2013-12-10T16:32:41.000Z

By the way, soon cleaned my clock in Round 1 of the regular tournament; I’m assuming he’s just been too chivalrous to report it.

clyve · 2013-12-10T20:42:12.000Z

:/ opkopk and I have got into a smash-athon… Only problem is Sharrash doesn’t do smashing that well :P

I’ve got it nearly tied at the moment but when it comes down to it Outpost can hit really really hard… I’m scurred.

opkopk · 2013-12-11T07:12:11.000Z

I forgot how fun Green can be. I haven’t played them in forever. I think our HQs have been in almost every hex. This is more dynamic than plying Dancer.

clyve · 2013-12-11T07:20:09.000Z

Green is great wen the opponent doesn’t have nets :P as soon as your base is trapped, it’s hard to recover. You have played every battle well, and my rats can’t keep up.

Actually, because both our teams have higher mobility and less units, the match-up has been really fun to play. Lots of battles, empty space to move around in… I wish had done better obviously, but it was fun the while time :)

clyve · 2013-12-11T08:10:39.000Z

GG opkopk… I would have had you if you didn’t get that sniper :P damn that was close. 7/6!!

opkopk · 2013-12-11T08:26:32.000Z

Yay me! Free rat-kabobs for all!
I could have played the end game better and it wouldn’t have been as close. You had a bit of a crap draw in the beginning.
I agree it was fun. Movement and battles. No nets. One damnable pit.
Melting Pot 2:
opkopk over clyve green over rats 7-6 BOLDLY

Oh yeah?! Well… Uh… My dads stronger than yours! runs away sobbing

Vesper · 2013-12-11T09:08:24.000Z

I have no games to play, if anyone wants to send me some funzie challenges.

soondifferent · 2013-12-11T11:48:47.000Z

Just got back from vacation, sorry for the late reporting!

Round 1
soonanother over prolix
soonanother over anniee
soonanother over Scott

All great games!

It does seem to me that Dancer’s a bit overpowered though. With just movement and battle tiles (not to mention the dance), you’re less likely to be at the mercy of the RNG. Whereas if your opponent doesn’t get the right tiles in hand, he/she is eating maybe 3+ damage every turn.

Dooms day machine and the rats seem pretty balanced to me.

ankamela · 2013-12-11T12:40:26.000Z

LOL

clyve · 2013-12-11T13:00:22.000Z

That’s how I play against dancer as well… Disregard damage to my base and try anything to take out one of the dancers. Quite often leads to a HQ being destroyed… All or nothin baby!

clyve · 2013-12-12T05:54:17.000Z

Hey look! A bug fix update is in the App Store today.

…and we can’t play till we have updated… Hurray
