oh, and Ghostglider, forgot about you. Your at #3 and if you want the allies you will be bidding single digits!
-
Bold: You know how this is going to turn out, don’t you?
JDOW: Nope.
Bold: I think you do. So this is what I’ll offer - you bring me the money and I’ll let her go. Otherwise she’s accountable, same as you. That’s the best deal you’re gonna get. I won’t tell you you can save yourself, because you can’t.
JDOW: Yeah, I’m going to bring you something, alright. In fact, I’m making you a special project of mine. You won’t have to come looking for me at all. -
Juan and Roboto - consider yourselves officially added to my hitlist.
-
Hi Bold, you are also in my hitlist… :mrgreen:
I will finish my current games vs JWW and Gargantua, and then decide if my 8th game is vs an Elite like I believe you will be, or I post a no show win that I have allready vs a Tier 3. I will also decide if I play more than 8 games this league (will like to play Gamer again and others but not yet sure).
-
Juan, how could you possibly finish all your games for the year in say Jan, then sit around waiting for November? I assume with the goal of making the playoffs… that doesn’t sound terribly sporting! plus, even if you made the top 8, you would be super rusty having not played quality competition for 10 months. no, i think you should reconsider and take the route of trying to play throughout the year, taking on lots of tier 1 and tier 2 players and earn that playoff spot!
cheers, and here’s hoping you make the right decision. i think you are probably just joking because i don’t see you going from 66 games to 8. 66 to 26 maybe. :-)

JDOW, you’re number 1 buddy - you up for a league game yet?

I will explain it, I know it seems strange. :-)
Perhaps you are right Bold and I will play some more when I finish those 2, not yet decided, because even with 2 losses, I might average > 4,00. :mrgreen:
I think what I am doing is sporting, last year my target was playing a lot because I had a lot of time for it, and energy in this new gaming experience for me, it was a good way to learn, and perhaps a target was setting a games completed record (I admit it…), this year, once learned the league rules, and following them, I designed a strategy to lead the league for the longest time possible and if possible, at the end (allthough the rules changed once the league was initiated with the Elite level :-o , and that reduces many chances of success for my strategy).
We discussed last year on options to make the league increase in number of games (motivating players to play more with incentives for number of games + helping beginners to join, most Tier 1,s avoided me when I joined and I avoid beginners now), but the system is other (which is really really good by the way, with different targets).
This year I have less time for playing + want to play other new stiles (created a league with friends with other rules, will play XDAP2 and may be other kind of tournaments).

Sounds good Juan to each his own. I was a proponent of being required to play a certain amount of tier 1 competition to be playoff eligible so someone couldn’t beat mostly tier 2 and enter playoff against tier 1 players who had been playing each other a lot.
Regardless I think gamer we should possibly look closer at the E level. An eplayer losing to another elite gets only 3 points and losing to a tier 1 gets only 2 points for the loss… which means probably that beating an elite should be more than 7 or losing to an elite should be more than … Not Exactly Sure But It Seems Some Additional Work On Weighting May Be useful. Gaming the system is still possible in other words… not that it needs to be eliminated but…
-
Additionally under these weights o e could beat an even mix of tier 2 and tier 3 players and be at 4.5 or elite level.
-
Gamers system works great when players spread their games around amongst the tier they are at and a tier above/below.
-
First, I don’t think that a loss against one “class” of player should ever be worth more than a win against another “class” of player….
Any rule that discourages play between us all should probably be looked at. It’s a shame that one of the top players wants to just sit on a lead – seems very counter-intuitive to why we are all here, doesn’t it?
I’m now having a hard time getting games because of my early experimentation that has me currently at Tier 4. I’ll be back to Tier 2 by the the end (like I always am) I have a feeling. But, it’s actually been hard to find games – I haven’t turned one down, regardless of level.
So, my only worry about “E” status is that it will make possible games against top players even less likely, which is the real reason why I wanted to play league… :(
