Holsten, most definitely! Watched it a dozen times.

ron > scott 2-1 I was way beyond worried in game 3, I fully expected to lose but got a very fortuitous last hand.

ineffablebob > matttutor 3-0

Good draws all three games, won each by at least 40. Just a really bad run of luck for Matt.

Well that was a disappointing Season 18:

Holsten
Lost 35 to -3
Lost 34 to -1
Lost 30 to -5

Tankthedog
Lost 31-0
Won 8 to -8
Lost 9 to -2

Beatrix
Lost 33 to -1
Won 49 to -11
Lost 21 to -5

Results SR 18:
2-1 holsten vs. beatrix
3-0 holsten vs. alieninca
2-1 holsten vs. tankthedog

Good Gods, Dave, I’m going to petition the designers to put in a “No Command Ship” option. Ouch. From 37-34 to “you lost” in one swell foop.

The Command Ship went foop a loop and my other ships were like hell yeah let’s do this!

Last of my results:
Fire 2 vs Me 1

Good series Fire [emoji16]

gg! Close game – it was my 8 to your 9 on your last hand.

That rounds out my season. If anyone’s up for some friendlies, please challenge me! Else I’ll go into withdrawal before S19.

so far:

2-1 annie v scott
<-- last game scott so robbed! shouldntve survived those last 2 rounds- sry scott
2-0 annie v ron <-- such a weird, unexpected comeback in that 1st game!
2-0 annie v thraeg

I finished with 2 wins and 7 losses, losing all three series. I think you got the right outcome, Annie!

SR18
Beatrix > Chronic 2-1

The Hedron Cannons are finished, with fire and Mithrophon advancing (6 points each).

The Temple Guardians are sending Hosten (7 points) and Beatrix (5 points).

The Voidthirsters still needs the results of game three of ankamela vs Thraeg before we can determine who advances.

The Shit will send ineffablebob and Dave (6 points each).

Anyone wish to tweak or squawk at this system? It seems like it’s going like gangbusters, so I love it. Super easy to maintain. You’re all terrific at keeping track of 3-game series at this point.

I’ve never seen a more accurately described team!

My only minor complaint thus far is that I’ve been playing the same players quite a bit. DennyA all three of the last leagues, matttutor in two of them. I wouldn’t mind mixing it up a bit. Maybe tweak the randomness a bit to avoid grouping up the same players repeatedly. The format seems to be working just fine, though!

I’m worried about running a random list more than once because I don’t want to appear to be placing myself in any particular kind of group. But I would never do that, and I believe that you folks trust me.

Don’t you? :P

I was waiting to report my matttutor games until we finished this one. We’re 1-1 right now.

The only change I’d make would be for matttutor to play his turns more often. :)

Thanks for the update, Denny!
