GARGANTUA'S $200 TOURNAMENT OF EXTRA DEATH AND PAIN (TripleA Only) 2xELIMINATION

Dutch, what I see is a lot of justification for what you did and why. Now you may say that you just react to Cow, and that is your own conflict. What I say is that there was a timeline, and that it should have held. The judges extended, that has to be accepted and hence we will post today (you remember that we are three and that I have an entirely different time zone, so its not really possible to post within 24 hours). Its peculiar with me, and my team mates dont necessarily agree with me, but I like clear situations.

And I happen to agree with Bold on this: When the situation is so clear as Bolfresh says it is for weeks, then the judges will come up with a very clear ruling. Is it so hard to stomach that I would have liked that ruling when the game time ended, and spare us all the discussion and posting that imemdiately came up after the deadline passed?

What I am not, but to what Bold is certainly entitled to have his own opinion, is frustration about a game win or loss. I dont have a record to defend, I have been beaten many times before, and above all that, neither team would be out.

It’s called overtime. A lot of sports have it.  We are in overtime.  Take the field and show the world that the Allies will win this thing.

It’s been two days waiting for the U.S. to post (which we are use to).  Back it the hell up from Zone 33 or take a the chance 75% chance of a massive sinking.  Choo! Choo! The Empire Train is coming East.  Get out the way or go under.  8-)

To make it clear, our team will be fighting till the last solder remains. The game even not close to that. Any side victory is not obvious. Economy, unit stats, VC, and what other folks post here support that statement.
No white flag under any conditions. Posting turns in a few ours is not the way we can and want to handle the games in this tournament.
to DD: not necessary 75%. Take your time and do your homework.

will you guys please just move already!??

you cannot fight until the last soldier remains anyway.  the game
would end when the victory conditions are met.

@Boldfresh:

once we have the VC win, i’d be happy to go ahead and wipe every single one of your men off the map, but it will be for recreation only as the game would already be over.

if we took as much time calculating our moves as you guys, we’d just be wrapping up the 3rd round.  :roll:

So park it there then. I’m not letting you copy my homework.

I just want to point out that while there is discussion going back and forth about the state of the current game, although an argument is made by the Allies as to how even the match is and why they have not lost, what you won’t hear is an argument from the Allies that the board is in their favor, and how they will march to victory, and that should there be a decision by the Judge, that the decision should be made in their favor.  There is a reason that argument won’t be made; simply because it cannot be made with any coherence or any degree of credibility.

It’s cool guys, we aren’t telling you to concede and that the game is over, all we are saying let’s keep it going, briskly.

All I said was that you guys should flip a coin or roll a dice for a winner. I gave no opinion on who wins or loses. I am saying it is a tight income game as of right now.

In a tight income game can you objectively decide who wins? Not really. Both sides have room for growth in income.

From my experience income games tend to stall out until one side decides to push. When it is apparent that one side is going to lose the income war then they push for a capital. Allies can’t exactly take capitals like the other boards so the onus is usually on the axis to push, so no one can complain about the ruling.

as usual your “logic” is impenetrable.

i don’t mind waiting

Just don’t cut into the time of the next game!

@Gargantua:

However, some of these games are SO GOOD, and in some cases close enough… that I’d rather see it play out just a little bit longer.

But I can’t tell that to allweneedislove.  He won’t take it for an answer… so basically, it’s my job to B.S. him and buy as much time as possible, before he PM’s me back and says “Really? just make the damn ruling!”.

That’s why you’ve seen Vague dates… and ambiguous postings.  The only person running a stalling tactic, is me, and it looks like my time is up.

I bet I don’t have long now… I can hear the drums in the deep… the centre can not hold!  Allweneedistank is coming :S and he is certainly going to force my hand to make rulings in the next 24 hours… ish.

too funny garg. funny because it is true.

it was surprising to me that boldutch and ancients did not take death by dice’s generous offer to start both games as a means to prevent their game going to decision. garg has given you WAY too much time as an extension already, robbing the next round of several days.

numenoreans and fighting mongooses we did not forget about you, but atlanta axis said they were too busy to start both games.

boldutch, ancients, numenoreans, and fighting mongooses. stand by for decisions. when you see a puff of white smoke you will have your decision.

I think the allies are going to win both of the stalled out matches.

As much as I have a grudge on bold+dutch, just do not see it happening now. I did not want to face the ancients as they are the better team plus they are 3 players so it takes them longer to post naturally. USA-UK-China is not one player, which is going to create time between posts.

So I would prefer to be the allies against the ancients so they can all their own thing going. I do not care which side I get against bolddutch.

I tried to make a match happen. Hats off to the Ancients. Between Germany’s lack of planning and the Japan with no balls, you did enough to take advantage of it. I really wanted to blow these guys out and exploit them.

Saddle up Veqryn, we got a real match in front of us, we will never get a break!

Soo looks like ancients are going to win this one. I am thinking I will start the bid at 10 and give it to them at 9? They seem more on the conservative spectrum like the other team.

I’ll take Germany/Italy. You take Japan. I was thinking of doing a G6 timing attack on Russia. Lately I been trying to see what I can get away with as Germany/Italy and I think I am just going to do a traditional sea lion feign followed by a G6 or G7 timing on Russia. If I get a solid crack at UK, I am taking it, otherwise feigning is pointless, so do not freakout if I make something happen.

If we are the allies, I will take Russia, ANZAC, and France. I think you got the hang of USA/China/UK. It is not hard. I think I am going to bring some of Russia to the pacific. Good times await! We got to do something non traditional for a gain to draw action out of them. I think if we are the axis we can just play solid and dictate where the game goes and time our attacks so that once I go attack Russia if that fails then you are ready to win it in the pacific. I think we can time it.

Did you get my last PM? It is not in my outbox.

@Cow:

This is a really old joke cow - time to come up with something new  :lol:
