League General Discussion Thread

[farmboy]

@aequitas-et-veritas I’m just trying to gauge if there is interest in this kind of rule change and since I’m ‘newer’ to league play, whether there was thought given to this in the past. I expect ties would be very rare. And having conditions like it has to be after round 20 (or 25 or 30) and both players must agree would hopefully make it very rare. I just think it would be nice to have a mechanism for players to agree to end a game without a decision and not have all the time spent go to waste.

Right, we’ve always gone the non-report route, sorry.

Year is coming to a close! If you want to compete in 2019 playoffs, you need to send me a message or post here or in the post league results thread - I will be setting up brackets as soon as I can after year-end, maybe even New Year’s Day.

ALL who want post-season play must notify me to get in, even those in the top 8, because usually there’s a player or two in the top 8 who qualifies, but who does not wish to play in a playoff. You are NOT automatically enrolled. I will add your name to the signup sheet which is now on the rankings spreadsheet, so you can verify that I have received your message and added you.

If all in the top 8 (8 game minimum required as per league rules) do want in, that means ksmckay would be in as it stands now, but Karl and 666 are on the cusp!

As you can see on the rankings spreadsheet, if all participate, the league champion playoff for 2019 is
JDOW
Adam
Farmboy
AD
Oysteilo
Bobba
ArtofWar
ksmckay

Assuming there is plenty of interest again this year, there will be a 2nd or even 3rd playoff bracket for all interested, and if I recall correctly, league rules only require a 3 game minimum to play in those! So get your 3 games and sign up and get in on the postseason ACTION!!!

[oysteilo]

@gamerman01 please sign me up for the play offs!

[Adam514]

Sign me up as well please.

[trulpen]

I’m in.

Just have to add that it’s a tad unfair to have played several new players who likely aren’t tier 3, but higher, and especially koala who definitely is atleast tier 1 and whom I lost our first game to in a solid bashing.

[Sovietishcat]

It was a great year of conquering and loosing.
Nevertheless I am happy to be here on this site and calling you my comrades, brothers in Arms and enemys 🤣😎.

May the dice be with you next season.

Bidding.

I am sure this has been discussed at some point.

Option 1: Today side A bids, then side B counters and side A goes again. Sometimes this goes on for many rounds

Option 2: How about side A bid X for allies. Then side B gets to choose side.

What is better, 1 or 2?

[simon33]

Sounds like it gives side B an advantage.

[simon33]

in option 2 I mean.
