He played the other two guys first, before you even contacted him (I'm pretty certain). Plus I don't wanna go changing things - no reports means no reports, and I'm not going to decide matches for you. Unless you want to agree to a draw or something, it's gonna get logged as no match... ...if your opponents don't want to play, that's fine. They'll keep not playing when they don't play other teams, and they'll suffer because of it while the other three teams will just get knocked down to your level.

wow...talk about a backfire...I tell everyone to play and suddenly we're 2 wins behind. And the coven is on seek & destroy mode WIN!

patzer! blarg

Well alright. I'm more annoyed by the use of the word "league" in the thread title than anything else - it's basically a clan.

This is disturbing. The rest of the competitions are stuck in the comps thread and zircon can basically create a competition or league on the Comm forum, but the rest of us are relegated to the Comps forum?

Announcement: As it is shown in the standings (which will be updated later tonight), I will be ending Week 2 TONIGHT. However, I will be doing so at 11:59 PM EASTERN (instead of Pacific), in order to try and get myself to sleep earlier. There will be something called "nebulous time" between 12:00 am and 3:00 am EST on Tuesday - if you get your match done before I post the final standings, I will include it - but the phase will end sometime between 12 and 3.

Ahhh recruitment.

I dare you to do it.

Eh, you could trade 3-for-1 and make a legitimate move (3 lesser players who play all their games might net you more points than one good player that does the same). But ultimately I'd rather have teams recruit for themselves instead, opting to increase the size of the league.

Damathacus has requested a slight retooling of the teams to get out players that don't play. While I think it MIGHT be a good idea, I really would rather not mess with things. If you need more players, you need to go out and recruit them. If you'd like to trade players with another team, there must be a majority agreement to the trade between the two teams.

Hey...I think the whole captainship thing is now debunked...you may represent your team for any leadership from now on. DRAFTING NEW PLAYERS If a new player comes along, or you would like to recruit them, here is what you do: 1) Post their name and AIM screen name in the thread. 2) Wait 60 hours. 3) Take them. If someone else wants a player and you want them instead: 1) When their name and screen name is posted, declare that you want them before the 60 hours are up. 2) Barter and deal to try and take them instead. If two or more teams show interest in the player at the deadline and deals have not been made for enough teams to back off, a random draw will direct the player, and each team will have chances inversely proportional to their current score. When someone is up for recruitment, you'll see how this works.

He's the current champion You didn't know that?

It's a nude beginning!

I'm looking for a format to suggest to Mew, and I'd like to test run both - if you wanna play IM me.

Aren't we supposed to be going to the bracket round now? PLAY-IN Sega vs. Horseboy SEMIFINAL Broken vs. Sega/Horseboy Arek vs. EasyP FINAL Broken/Sega/Horseboy vs. Arek/EasyP

lol...I'm in of course.

I know it's prohibitive, but couldn't you get access to a hi-speed, newer computer? There are several workable computer labs at my school that I can easily play games on, and while it's easier to do it at home, I find myself playing league matches more and more at school.

I beat Darkesword in the final, 2-0. Game 1 saw me ahead just about every step of the way, 6-3, but I had to dogfight my way back from a two-piece deficit early in game 2 - he also had my king pinned two ways - somehow I won it 6-3 on a final-move fork-sac. Moves is a great game, but we just don't have enough players to keep a recurring tournament like this. If you want to recruit and share it with friends (my girlfriend has been playing the remains I left on her computer), we might be able to start this up again in the future.

I don't think that we'll use the same format - people were given many different opponents and, therefore, many different parameters for advancement. While single- and double-elimination does this, it's on a much smaller scale so that we can accept it, and it's to a degree that we are most interested in finding a single winner, instead of trying to advance the six most prolific/active players.

i beat grayfox! WOot!1 and baseball just tied it up!

Actually, those will bolster your scores, both you and the Coven will finish week 1 with 19 points. Just as long as you're not lying...do tell me who you won and lost against though. Loss to amazchess.

I look forward to it I think that we're going to go with a strict monthly tournament format, and I have some ideas for how to do it. For now, let's open it up to discussion: what did you guys like/not like about the tournament this last time, specifically in terms of format? I thought that each match probably should have been best 2/3 instead of 3/5, since the tightest it ever got was 3-1. The availability of a lot of players wasn't just questionable, it was brutal. This isn't effectively prevented, but I require AIM screen names in the OCRCL for this reason. I want to ensure that players will get a lot of games that count in, regardless of skill. This is why the format was the way it was last time.
