Find league opponents here

[gamerman01]

Things are going at a snail’s pace for me….

Would you like a rematch, SouL?

[HopLight]

I could use a new G40 opponent if anyone is up for it.

[Whackamatt]

Looking for a few good men/women for opponents.  You can never have too many games going at one time.

[Whackamatt]

Just PM me with a bid to start it off.

[hobo]

got room for a couple games, for those who haven’t played me or only played me once I guess.  just pm me.

I am assuming it is easier to find a league opponent? I can join at any given notice correct?

[UnknownSoldier]

That is correct sir

[Guest]

In that case this conscript is looking for an opponent :-D.

[boldfresh]

shouldn’t be too hard to find…  although activity on the site has recently slowed down due to the rolling blackouts and brownouts.  which is hopefully nearly resolved.

[MrRoboto]

Yeah, for like two weeks, the website was down every day a couple of hours. Although it seems the admins are working on it, so I’m positive!

I gave him instructions on play-by-forum and we’ll have his first league game coming :-)

[gamerman01]

For anyone new to the site - don’t be discouraged.  These are the worst outages the site has had in many years, so this is not normal.

[Guest]

But I am discouraged :cry:

[gamerman01]

Get the e-mail of your opponent and e-mail the file back and forth.  You can continue playing without the site.  Just “save as” after making your move, and e-mail the file to your opponent.

[Guest]

I am willingly to play more then one game at the same time tho. I think I understand how it works now. So it should be fine. And just one game doesn’t seem enough.

[gamerman01]

Right - well, circumventing the site by e-mailing the file back and forth doesn’t have anything to do with # of opponents…
I’m playing 5 right now and am e-mailing the file as necessary…

[Guest]

I am aware. What I mean to say is that whether the site is up or down, I could use one more opponent.

[MrRoboto]

Well what I do is, that I just send personal messages to several players whenever I want to make one more game.
At the moment, I play 10 League games.

You can see the G40 ranking here:

At the start, it’s a good idea to challenge Tier 3 or 4 players, maybe Tier 2. Most Tier1 players dont want to play against Tier4, cause even when they win, their PPG drops (a serious flaw in the system imho).

[gamerman01]

MrRoboto - thanks for being so helpful to Soulblighter, and thank you for your opinion.

I just want to point out that there have been 22 games between tier 1 and tier 4 players this year.
You are right that PPG average for anyone above 3.00 (including yourself now) would drop even winning against a tier 4.
I’m sure there are some tier 1 players who would avoid playing tier 4 for this reason, but I’m also sure there are tier 1 players who would have no problem with that (I am one of them, and Allweneed is probably another).

One more thing to consider (not only you, but tier 1, tier 2 players), is that if I beat a tier 4 player my average will drop, but my average will also be firmer (more resistant) and will not drop as much when I lose.

My average also drops when beating a tier 3, but I still play them.  I’m here to play A&A and have fun, and I prefer a game with a nice guy who is tier 3 over a jerk who’s tier 1 or 2, any day.

Maybe some day I will add a nice/jerk rating scale for each player……  :wink:
I keed, I keed… (credit this to Seth, one of the very nice players)

More seriously, I can avoid saying anything bad about anyone by giving my (NOT COMPREHENSIVE - SO DON’T BE UPSET IF I LEAVE YOU OUT) list of REALLY NICE players.

In ranking order, this is Gamerman’s “nice” and “good sportsman” list:
Allweneedislove
Gamerman01 (cough  :-))
Zhukov44 (absent lately)
Stalingradski
Wheatbeer
Arathorn
Seththenewbie
SouL
Karl7
Capt. John Miller
Cmdr Jennifer

There are several players I’ve never played.  I’ve played people who were really nice and really great sports, but only a couple or three times, so I’m not confident enough to put them on the list.

Anyway, what I’m saying is I have a lot of confidence that you (and I mean anyone) will have a good experience if you can get a game with any of these players, assuming you are not really unreasonable or a jerk to them…  :-)
Happy gaming
