[quote author=Cow link=topic=27103.msg959455#msg959455 date=1337065193]
yes guerrilla.

Are you, by any chance THE Guerrilla_J? The one who has a score of 2-2 with me to settle in aa50? I got 1 axis 1 allies win and you got 1 allies and 1 axis win. I haven’t seen you game on the lobby in forever, I like log in everyday hoping to see Yamamot0 or you willing to game with me again. =( I don’t think we had a dice game, they were all low luck. Let me refresh your memory I had 50/50 on russia with germany and I lost, the rest I forgot how they went, because losing that 50/50 was too funny. Either way you were the most frustrating person to play in aa50 for me.

There is another Guerilla that plays PBEM games, I heard was really good, but wasn’t sure if you two were the same person. Either way I expect your team to be the most challenging.

Soulfein is really good, we played together. He was always axis though and my allies was my weak suit till about recently.

Sadly no, I’ve only played TripleA solo to test strategies… I think we will have scores to settle by the end of this tournament. ;)

OFFICIAL TOURNAMENT NOTES

1. Remember to read the Rules.
2. Remember rule #1, this is my tournament and I’m in charge, what I say goes.  (Think benevolent dictatorship :) )
3. Remember rule #2, this tournament is about having fun, so DO THAT, points will be given out to players who treat other players with RESPECT, and enjoy a game of fair play,  The concept you should observe is that you want to play your opponent at THEIR best, so give them some room when they make errors, so long as it doesn’t change to outcome of dice (Any dice) at your discretion.
4. Remember to use common sense, YES, you should try to post WHEN you can, and if you don’t post (atleast a note) for more than a week, I reserve the right to cut you loose, and so do your TEAM MATES.
5. Remember to expect ANYTHING, after all, this is the Tournament of EXTRA DEATH AND PAIN
6.  For your Thread titles use the following

XPAD-01  Team Name (AXIS) vs Team Name, when you make it to round 2 and so on,  XPAD-02 Team Name (AXIS) vs Team Name,

If team names are too long, shorten them accordingly.

IF YOU LOSE A GAME - you are now in the LAST STAND BRACKET, use XPAD-ls-01

7. Make sure you have read tournament rule #7, And then make sure you have read it again.

You may begin whenever you are ready, but May 18th, is the official start.  Feel free to do any last minute team changes you see/feel are necessary.

[Gargantua]

OOP,

As it’s Extra DEATH and PAIN, making it XDAP not XPAD, for thread titles.

[Axisplaya]

i don’t see my team in there… Team 6 (axisplaya + Pomme + Septimus)

Are we scheduled to play game 12 ?

[Axisplaya]

Also, what is tournament rule #7 ?

[ghr2]

Btw, Satinpurple is out (according to make it round), and i already agreed to join Creature Commandos before garg set up the first round.  Sry if this i an inconvient event.

[Gargantua]

Sorry about that!

YES, Team number 6 is the AXIS for game #12.  It must have accidentally been deleted whilst preparing the post.

Also, what is tournament rule #7 ?

Ahh the famous question…  There’s almost 100 of you out there, someone is bound to figure it out sooner or later.

As the tournament of extra death and pain BEGINS. :)

[ghr2]

And garg did apporve of the transfer, right garg?

[Gargantua]

YES, indeed.

[Guest]

May the odds be ever in your favor!

[Gargantua]

Each person needs to remember to upgrade their GLOBAL map to Version 2.8

Instructions for upgrading are HERE:
http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=27127.0

If you are one of the few who it’s not working for, and are getting some kind of stupid error…

UNINSTALL TRIPLEA,  download it again - and install it, and you should be fine.  (The link to redownload it, can be found at the link I posted above)

[Guest]

I tried reinstalling tripleA a couple times and it didn’t upgrade from version 2.7 to 2.8.  However, I was able to do it another way.  Click the “download maps…” button that you see when you first open TripleA (third button up from the bottom on the right) and then choose “World War II Global” from the list and it will give you the version 2.8.

[Gargantua]

As long as you get it to work, it doesn’t matter how.

I honestly wish you ALL the best possible luck in this tournament.

[Degrasse]

Garg,
  Sadly, we lost our fourth idiot to his sense of responsibility to attend class and study.  Working on getting the third person to register tonight.

Thanks,
