and yes we’re currently negotiating a 4th game, but this time with some small tweaks we’d like to try out that might make it a bit more interesting and different.

@Panther Thanks!.
-
Anyone having issues with receiving MARTI dice rolls? Some games I don’t get any rolls other games I get some of the rolls and they show up over the next day or two.
-
I got the USA rolls from yesterday morning for our game…
-
@majikforce I haven’t had a problem lately but it has happened to me before where the rolls are delayed. I’ve also had it happen twice where the game has changed the email to that of another player (either sometime else that I’m playing it someone else that my opponent is playing. So it can be worth checking if the dice emails are right.
-
Sometimes they go into the junk email folder. Although that wouldn’t explain delayed emails I wouldn’t have thought.

glitch in the matrix??? and this after a restart graciously allowed by ksmckay due to getting diced so hard the first time around to where I only had a tank survive!!!
NOTHING like this has ever ever happened to me in France, ever!

and btw, I had sent TWO tacs this time around, because of the result first time around. one of those tacs got shot down
-
@axis-dominion Whoa! That is hardcore. I’ve had some bad beats in France but never like this. Its like the double rainbow for an allied player. Its too beautiful to look at! ksmckay MUST be the chosen one!
-
@majikforce has the tournament started up yet?

AD, that’s atrocious!

Has there been any thought in the past for allowing games to end as a tie but where points are still counted for league play? Would that be an option as a league rule going forward?
I thought one option could be that after 20 turns, if both players agree, a tie can be declared and the points allocated would be = to a win minus 2. So if you draw tier m you get 6 points and if you draw tier 2 you get 3 points.
I have some self interest in suggesting this. Oysteilo and I have a game that is about to reach 40 turns, that we both find quite difficult to play, and which is still at least a few turns away from someone being clearly able to win. But I think we would both prefer the effort not to have gone to waste since we have been playing this game for more than a year.
-
Surely you would just agree to not report it.
-
@simon33 that is an option too. I still would prefer to count it to the game count given the time we have committed.

I support @farmboy 100% on this and would definitely like to see a tie function in league play

Or both sides can simply report a loss each, simulating a tie…

@oysteilo
Nothing mentioned on how to handle ties.
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/28660/2019-league-rulesLooks more like that it is layed out to find a winner for each game.
Therefore is explained that you can play best of … games to settle it for one season.
Wich makes sense.
The games are too individual to break for a tie. -
@aequitas-et-veritas I’m just trying to gauge if there is interest in this kind of rule change and since I’m ‘newer’ to league play, whether there was thought given to this in the past. I expect ties would be very rare. And having conditions like it has to be after round 20 (or 25 or 30) and both players must agree would hopefully make it very rare. I just think it would be nice to have a mechanism for players to agree to end a game without a decision and not have all the time spent go to waste.
-
Right, we’ve always gone the non-report route, sorry.

Year is coming to a close! If you want to compete in 2019 playoffs, you need to send me a message or post here or in the post league results thread - I will be setting up brackets as soon as I can after year-end, maybe even New Year’s Day.
ALL who want post-season play must notify me to get in, even those in the top 8, because usually there’s a player or two in the top 8 who qualifies, but who does not wish to play in a playoff. You are NOT automatically enrolled. I will add your name to the signup sheet which is now on the rankings spreadsheet, so you can verify that I have received your message and added you.
If all in the top 8 (8 game minimum required as per league rules) do want in, that means ksmckay would be in as it stands now, but Karl and 666 are on the cusp!
As you can see on the rankings spreadsheet, if all participate, the league champion playoff for 2019 is
JDOW
Adam
Farmboy
AD
Oysteilo
Bobba
ArtofWar
ksmckayAssuming there is plenty of interest again this year, there will be a 2nd or even 3rd playoff bracket for all interested, and if I recall correctly, league rules only require a 3 game minimum to play in those! So get your 3 games and sign up and get in on the postseason ACTION!!!

@gamerman01 please sign me up for PO19/20.
Thank you.
