[allweneedislove]

would you like to scramble in sz112?
would you like to intercept in west germany?

[allweneedislove]

@Boldfresh:

I assume tomorrow is the deadline?  3 more games to play before the final right?

yes the deadline is the end of april

@DeadTom:

Garg, I’m counting on you to procrastinate as you always do. Even if Moscow is 10% chance of success or even 5%, we are going to do it before this game ends. Let the dice have their day.

this game is so close to a moscow battle that i am sure we can work something out.

@Hank13:

I’m under the assumption that you guys know that a Moscow victory doesn’t get you anywhere close to winning this game. If you simply want to have one last hurrah then I’m for letting it happen, even if it’s after the game gets called. I really don’t want to prolong this round any more than it needs to as the outcome seems to be set at this point.

This is simply my opinion, if I’m off base I apologize.

i also think that we are in a winning position. even if we lose moscow i think we will win. but if i was in fluff’s position, i would sure want to have a crack a moscow

@Enigmatic_Decay:

On the contrary, I believe that a Moscow capture does win us the game as that would give us 2 of your capitals with no real pending threat to any of ours. Capturing Moscow would also allow the elimination of a two front war and the potential of a victory. A very different opinion than Hank’s.

moscow is no pushover, but even if it does fall, i disagree with you notion of who will win the war.

@Enigmatic_Decay:

… and I hate to see a rather interesting war get cut short because some other individuals jerked around earlier in the tourney. This match is easily a 16+ rounder and in this day and age of people surrendering so hastily it is a welcome breath of fresh air and an excellent marketing ploy for future tournaments.

i definitely agree. i would also like to play this game out until both sides are satisfied as this is a very fun game.

@DeadTom:

Remember that you win the game with victory cities, not economically or with world domination. If we get really good rolls in Moscow, it wouldn’t be too hard to get the last victory cities to claim victory in Europe. Italy should be able to get Egypt relatively easily (they don’t have to hold India to accomplish this), so it would come down to control of Novgorod for the win.

i dont see moscow, egypt and novgorod being held by the axis for a round, but i am interested in playing it out to see you try.

@DeadTom:

I would suggest that AllweneedisHank could start their next round game on Wednesday assuming that this game will end with them being victorious, but that doesn’t mean that we are conceding the game just yet. Would you guys be willing to continue this game along with starting your next game at the same time?

yes. i love this idea and have offered other teams this same option in past rounds of the tournament.

@DeadTom:

Keep in mind that we will not concede until we are confident that we have no realistic chance of winning.

i would not want you to concede if you think you have a chance at winning. and this is a fun game so i am happy to keep bludgeoning playing you.

@DeadTom:

For right now, focus on getting the Allied three done el pronto.

will do. we are waiting for your scramble/intercept decisions.

[Hank13]

Yeah, what he said.

[DeadTom]

No intercept, no scramble, and once you ask for a scramble you can’t take back your move. Also, no the sub won’t submerge.

[DeadTom]

@allweneedislove:

i also think that we are in a winning position. even if we lose moscow i think we will win. but if i was in fluff’s position, i would sure want to have a crack a moscow

You might rethink that once you realize the colossal mistake you just made.

[DeadTom]

Nevermind, not as bad as I thought. You can still retreat, but the sub still stays.

[DeadTom]

Wait, you must have known that you couldn’t land in Denmark. Was this a trick just to get me to scramble?

@Boldfresh:

We have suggested that AllweneedisHank begin their next round game under the assumption that they will win, so you don’t have to worry about us playing past the deadline. The Germans attack is probably going to be G12, but I am not ruling out the possibility of a G11 attack at 1-2% odds if I think that that is our best chance of winning the game.

[DeadTom]

By the way, I have won a 1% battle in this game already, so it is not beyond the scope of possibilities.

no it is WELL within the range of possibilities.  dairyqryn survived an italian fleet against a combined US/UK attack that was less than a 1%er.  could VERY WELL happen.  :wink:
