This was a tomb 9 game! I had to hold off on using 9’s but I had used an Adrenaline item to double my score.
I posted it as a win in the other thread. It shouldn’t count towards this Leaguelet since it had special rules.
I am going to stick with it, I figure the more we play the more testing gets done and the better the end result will be. Plus, I don’t mind losing a lot (hasn’t bothered me too much yet).
So, here are some games…
147771
147773
147774
Took Joe’s 147773, so only 147774 is left
CR: belouski > Joe Bolt
I summoned an eagle on the first turn, and Joe was just in range for the second turn.
Rematch at 147870?
That was quick… I hate eagles. (and vampires)

Alright, I’m going to get back into it. Three new CR games open to anyone.

Just a quick note: I can’t find you bobm on Frozen Cortex!
Awaiting robthomasson’s next move.
bobm is bobehm on FC.
Apologies for the slower than I would have liked play rate. Too much sunshine out there and general stuff that has to be done.
That and the fact that you leave me with brain-burning decisions. For this latest turn I spent ages and ages, finally committed, and you intercepted with consummate ease. I did not go for the obvious long pass to touchdown as it was just too obvious - so obvious that you knew that there was no need to cover it (as far as I can see). Now you will get another touchdown.
So … I will lose against you but I will win against jbolt and thus stay in the competition.

Thanks, will send him a challenge!
No problem, and sorry if my last post seemed at all nagging.
Likewise! This particular game has been burning my brain so hard that I’ve been putting off tackling certain turns because I knew I’d end up taking ages and ages (which for me is over an hour tinkering with myriad manoeuvres). The worst is when you think you have your move then right from the back of your mind you hear whispered ‘But what if he does that instead?’. Paralysis. Mode7 definitely know how to put the Frozen in their Synapses and Cortexes.
I’m not at home to see the outcome of the last turn but let me tell you: it took a long time to settle on those manoeuvres. I went through so many that I can’t even remember which one I primed.
Not at all - I was very conscious of being tardy, waiting for time enough to do the turns (as much) justice (as I could). We had a burst of progress last Saturday I think - then I was pretty much out of the house all Sunday and Monday.
Even with enough time to think I can worry about having blind spots. Mainly because I did have one on the crucial turn. You had intercepted my run (as I thought you could) near your endzone. But I thought I could sack you back - it just never occurred to me that you would have time to make a pass. But you did - right up to your man nicely placed clear up the field towards my endzone. The you had the clear run to scoop 13 points.
I might well not have been able to do anything about it in any case, but what niggles is that I never considered it. But - the key thing was your great player placement. Knowing how much to commit to going forward and how much to leave for defence is a tension and then some.
That was the January finals. :D

The latest CR update gives no gold or XP for private games. It seems that this is to prevent the behaviour where private games were used by consenting players to game the system and get an “unfair” level of rewards.
But it is a problem if it means our games will be unbalanced between those had different gains before the v0.24 and for those that are only looking to play private games. I mean - krayzkrok has hats everywhere and I have none.
The short summary is the game is in flux right now and will take a while to settle. I will be interested in the single-player “campaign” “realm-delving” side when that is delivered. I caught up on an old Game Design Round Table podcast with Julian Gollop recently where he talked about this and he did make it sound good.
