[Veqryn]

MIR, you and Bacala will face off in round 5, playing with Dice

wirkey and pug will likewise face off, playing with LL

get to it

[Ajmdemen]

Ajm (good) wins vs soulfein (evil).

Save attached

soulfein LOTR.tsvg

[SantaClaus2]

Santa (evil) surrenders to Wassmuss (good) in LoTR.

It was only my second time ever playing the map, and I had fun even though I got crushed.

[Make_It_Round]

It’s my impression that this game is heavily-weighted towards ‘Good’. Results so far seem to confirm an imbalance…

[Veqryn]

ajm should have played as evil, not sure why he didn’t
perhaps he can repeat his victory as evil to show us all?

[Most Holy]

@Make_It_Round:

Fear not! I’m currently playing ‘good’ and will help swing the curve back towards universal balance.

[DeadTom]

I’m no expert on this map, but I’m pretty sure that evil is a lot harder to play, but still rather balanced.

[wirkey]

After three rounds of not knowing what I was doing I (evil) conceded to Pug.

First time LotR, was fun though.
Thanks to all opponents for nice gaming and Veqryn for organisation!

[Veqryn]

hey its not over yet wirkey, we still have round 6 (TWW) ahead of us.  after that, it will be officially over.

[wirkey]

i thought TWW was only as a tiebreaker to determine the winner. With 2-3 i doubt that i have chances :) but if there is an official rnd 6, of course i will participate. Please give me ice, i want to have the chance once to kick his ass :-)

[Most Holy]

Gekkepop (Evil) defeats Most Holy (Good)

Low luck, no bid

[Hepps01]

Good game Gekkepop.

Lala for Mordor defeats Alex for the Free Peoples. Well done.

[Veqryn]

I am hoping to post the next and last round of this tournament soon: round 6: Total World War

We have 2 undefeated participants who will be battling for the prize: Ajmdemen and Admetus
And I hope to have everyone else play too.

However, I can not do this until all round 4 games are finished, and we still have 2 games ongoing:

Nothing to see here
vs
lalapalooza

and

Funcioneta
vs
AmorphousCube

We also have several round 5 games not started yet, and I’ll send out private messages to get everyone to start theirs.

@Veqryn:

…

If there are 2 people tied for 1st somehow (which is technically impossible after 6 rounds), then we run a tiebreaker round for those two.  (participation in tiebreaker round is optional for everyone but the 2 front-runners)

Please, when you set up round 6, leave me out.

I have taken a look into Total World War and - although the appearance is really great - I do not have the time and patience to deal with this extensive game in an adequate way. Concerning WW II I will stick to the A&A games.

I enjoyed Napoleonic Empires, 270BC and LotR very much and feel like playing those again every now and then.

Thank you  :-)

[Veqryn]

glad you enjoyed them,

if everyone here enjoys only 2 or 3 out of the 6 games, it is still a great success

the whole point is to try a bunch of new things and hopefully find something you like

Same is true for me Veq, 270, Napoleon and ME are great, but the WW I and II games I did not really enjoy that much. Was nice to get to play against many players I did not know before, all of them fun to play against. Thx for organising!

You are right - it was definitely worth playing the tournament! I got to know games I would probably never have played.
Also I have played against people I did not meet before - all of them have been a pleasure to play with.

All in all: Great success!!! Thank you very much for all your efforts!
