We finished through the lobby, and I didn’t think of keeping a save file or anything, but trust me, I lost.

@DeadTom:

Did Eskander officially drop? He just posted a turn in our NWO game so I was wondering if he dropped since then.

No response from him for over 18 days, so I gave you a new opponent (alexgreat) before he posted at all in that thread.

Please do not continue that game, your new opponent is alexgreat, so please start a new game with him. ASAP.

I’ll work out with Eskander whether he wants to continue from round 3 or not, but he certainly does not have time to finish his round 1 and 2 games in addition to the round 3 that is starting in like 2 weeks.  And NWO is a pretty long game to be honest.

I should add this to the rules, although it is technically covered by point 1.

I am very very much against giving people “byes” in this tournament.

If you opponent never shows up, or you never make it past round 1, then I do plan to if at all possible, give you a new opponent.

The whole point of the tournament is to get people playing these different maps.  If you skip a round, that means you’ve skipped a map, and that makes me incredibly sad.

The fact that you could win a little something is a nice bonus, but the real incentive is the fun you will have playing on all these different boards.

So ya, if it is possible, I will find a new opponent for anyone who’s opponent is not playing.

My experience with NE map was that I was about to skip it because I was busy with life and because the map was strange. I did however give it a go, which was a very good decision since this tournament is an excellent way to try out those less played maps.

Now all I wish is that I don’t have to skip any map.

No problem. I was just concerned that he still wanted to play, but was removed without his knowledge. I wasn’t trying to earn a bye, just to play the hand I was dealt. I’ll start with Alex right away.

Hi, Vegryn, I just noticed a thing, just a small hint for Napoleonic Empires scenario. This is not for gameplay balance or such (in fact, it doesn’t affect gameplay at all), it’s just for historical accuracy

The 4th level cavalry unit, the one that has historical generals (Ney, Wellington, etc). It’s odd playing Spain and having a generic “Marshall” as this unit, mainly because Spain has not marshalls as a military rank since 16th century (highest is Capitán General, but that is reserved for the king I think, the highest rank for a regular spanish officer is “general”). I think that you could name that unit (for Spain) as the general that won the battle of Bailén (general Castaños). As such, “Castaños” should work… or if you have not ñ as available character in TripleA, Castanos or C. Aragorri (Aragorri being 2nd surname for that general)

I want to play as general Castaños  :lol:

[Veqryn]

i’d like to change it, but i need a new unit art for it (see how the ones with names all have cool art?)
would you be willing to find new art or make me new art for it?

[Funcioneta]

OK, I see your point. Generic marshalls get all the same pic. Mmm… sorry, I’m not very good with aesthetics stuff

So I fear that Castaños will have to wait for a dedicated artist  :-)

I’m going on vacation on Tuesday to visit my 80-year-old grandparents who have no internet for Thanksgiving, and so I will not be able to post any turns from Wednesday to Sunday. I’m not dropping, I just wont be able to post any turns for a few days.

[Ajmdemen]

hi Veq, my rnd1 Nap game ended in victory. Waiting for news on rnd3

[moilami]

Make_It_Round won BotA NE vs moilami.

[Veqryn]

alright, only 2 round one games left: pug vs u505, and alexgreat vs amorphouscube

both are still fairly close, so i’m giving them an extension,

and i hope they can finish up really soon

i should definitely post round 3 matchups by next weekend

[Noll]

What’s the third game?
'cause I won again versus my adversary in NWO but we are going to start our 4th game out of fun  :-D

[moilami]

Would be very cool to see the current standings after two rounds.

[Guest]

is going to be rookie against expert again

[Veqryn]

@kabloom:

is going to be rookie against expert again

you beat noll in your first game though didn’t you?

anyway, no, its not going to be rookie vs expert

that is the whole point of waiting for everyone to complete their round 1 games before i continue

winners will be matched up with winners, and losers vs other losers

[Most Holy]

Sweet! I’m a loser! I get to meet like minded dough heads! Awesome!

[Noll]

I’m no expert!
