I can finally confirm - the issue is solved with TripleA version 2.6.14435

Thank you again everyone for getting involved - I love this community! :-) And special thanks go to Panther!

[LennardF]

@Martin Sounds good, I’ll look you up when I’m ready to start another game and see if you are available.

[farmboy]

I open the league tab and the first 7 games I see are all being played by Roboto. And I think I see that you are in at least 5 more games!

You are single handedly rejuvenating league play!

OK, for those of you who don’t know, it’s a big deal that Mr. Roboto is back.

Last seen in 2019, he has played exactly 200 games of G40 in league play, from 2013 to 2019.

One of his highlights is ripping off 70 games in 2014, the iron man. He edged out Whackamatt who “only” had 69. 69 was not enough for Mr. Roboto, he had to have 70.

Welcome back Mr. Roboto, you deserve this re-introduction because you are a legend around here, for anyone who’s been around awhile. :guitar: :tada: :flag-jp:

I told you!! But even this tear surprises me. Obviously he misses A&A - right, MrRoboto?

[gamerman01]

And 4-0 6.00 so far, he seems to have improved. I hope you don’t blow a circuit @MrRoboto , because it looks like you are back stronger than ever and may break some A&A.org league records of one sort or another?!
Maybe having the most games going at the same time. How many are you in?

[gamerman01]

Oh, farmboy counted at least 12, I see. I don’t know if anyone’s every played that many at once before. Are you gonna beat your 70 for a year, in about half a year??

[Martin]

@gamerman01 once Trulpen played 11 games in parallel and complained that it was not his turn in any of them, LOL

[gamerman01]

They were probably all paralyzed!

[MrRoboto]

Haha actually I am waiting for some more people, I have sent out more game requests.

But I have not improved during my break, if anything I got worse.
The 4-0 is just a snapshot, I have a couple of losses incoming.

But that’s fine, I already have learnt from some mistakes I have made and will do better.
Dice have ruined 2 games for me so far - they gifted me a win against @Avner and they are about to make me lose my 2nd game against simon I guess.

@Adam514 has impressed me the most so far, leaving me no chance at all. The way he dominates me everywhere is very helpful for my learning curve.

[MrRoboto]

Speaking of Adam:
His Axis defeat my Allies+18 in BM4 in a dominating manner.

If anything, I think the dice even favoured me over the course of the game, but it made no difference.

[gamerman01]

It is fabulous to have @Adam514 back also, for sure. He keeps everyone humble.

[gamerman01]

@Adam514 OK… Adam, I didn’t realize you went this many years back in the league.
I gave a short and exciting bio on MrRoboto as he returned, here’s yours.

2015, 25-5
2016, 42-1
2017, 18-2
2018, 25-3
2nd place in playoff, losing only to JDOW who won back to back championships (was in his prime)

2019, 17-1
Won the championship, going through 666, ksmckay, and our very own Axis-Dominion

2020, 13-1
2021, 10-1
2022, took a break
2023, 5-0

That adds up to 155-14, a 91.7% win%
93.75% since January 1, 2019

That is unquestionably the best record the league has ever seen. Each of those losses were against top competition, proving my experienced observation that strategy/skills/experience can overcome all kinds of luck. I didn’t see a single loss to a less than great player.

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 I’ll note here too that in most of my games with Adam, I feel like the dice have favoured me and I lost despite having some great luck. And in the one game I did manage to win, I have never have had such consistently great dice and it was a very near thing.

[gamerman01]

Well, we’re smart, farmboy because we’re making a run at the championship in Adam’s 1 off year

Thank you for the bio gamer, it’s good to be back.

How many are you in?

13 right now, with some requests pending ;-)

[MrRoboto]

I am away for a week, so won’t be able to play.
Will be back next Tuesday!
I hope it’s ok if I make my life easier by just posting it here once and tagging everyone that I’m playing against right now, instead of posting it in every single thread.

[simon33]

13 games in progress is I think more than I have ever had.

[gamerman01]

Great idea, MrRoboto, and thanks for the break!
