Let me know who the winner is when you are done battling it out so I know who my opponent in the finals will be. I look forward to it!
Play both of them!
If you beat them, select a new game for us cause I personally wanna get on with the playing.

Alright, I'm officially expanding the playoff field to 4, with the following schedule:
Match A: 1st vs. 2nd
Match B: 3rd vs. 4th
Match C: Loser A vs. Winner B
Match D: Winner A vs. Winner C
These will be 2/3 matches instead of the 3/5 as previously mentioned - faster tournament.

pg. 69 bow chicka bow wow.
^ Dude, Kamoh, stop making me tilt my head 45 degrees!
It was difficult to find a happy medium - especially with the new format. I found the ability to 45-degreeify a table and ran with it, although I wish that there was an easier way. Tonight, thankfully, I have no homework, and should be up for a while (but I'll be fixing my monitor or replacing it because I don't know what the hell it's doing wrong but it's on the fritz). We'll play some games, have some laughs, drink a vodka or three and chess it on up till the early hours of the morning. I just didn't want to make a needlessly humongous table for these games, so you see the above. And I'm on a computer at school whose enter key does not work (don't worry it's the same way for the entire row - this things are shit-ass old and not conducive for actual use). G'night.

Play everyone on your opponent's team ONCE as your color (shown surrounding your team). Just once. 10/10 clocks.
Reporting is in effect but I'm not sure exactly how it will work.
You have until Monday the 19th @ 11:59pm Pacific Time to complete these games.

I'm looking for a remix, done way, way back. It was a Zelda remix, and it wasn't an "actual" remix. It was just small variations of the melody. Remember, way way back. (I was like 8 when I listened to it.
Wow, what a worthless post.
"Way way back" is not a quantitative statement.
You were 8? How old are you now?
Not like it matters - I'm not going to help you, and from your description it's probably been removed anyways.

Yarr. Kamoh get your paper done.
I have another paper due tomorrow wooooo.
For those uninitiated, this will be the format for at least a little while:
Weekly Schedule
Weeks will begin on Tuesday for the time being. Weeks end on Monday.
Team Play / Colors
Each team will play each other team twice - once as white and once as black - over six weeks.
If your team is white for the week, you will play as white for the whole week.
Full-Fixture Schedule
You can and should play every one of your opponent's team's players - ONCE. No 2-game matches, no switching colors. Just play everyone on the other team once within the week.
Team Win Bonus
Not sure quite what this is going to be...but I've got an idea.
-
1 win vs. Arek.
I may expand the playoff field to 4, and incorporate an Australian-style finals system (see www.a-league.com.au)
-
You should reverse that
2-1 Axel b vs EasyP
Plus, yes, Whip is shittastic online.
I don't understand any of this.
What the fuck is the final score?
-
Bump!
For great justice!
I think that the idea of bonus-points by augmentation is a good one, although I'm still not sure exactly how I want it to work...I'm looking at the following:
1) 3-2-1 base scoring, with 4-2-1 if your team wins the round.
2) 3-2-1 base scoring, with 5-3-1 if your team wins the round.
3) 4-2-1 base scoring, with 6-3-1 if your team wins the round.
No bonus or a small bonus if your team draws the round.
A lot of these ideas are running around in my head. I'd actually really like to see #3, just for the sheer high scores that would result - but it would be debiliatatingly high for the smaller teams in the competition - which is part of the intent. Unfortunately, since we don't have an old tournament of this style to work with, we really couldn't tell what the scorelines are gonna be like.
Bumped.
Tonight I will contact the team captains (while I do a stupid paper - someone remind me to get that done), and we'll start scheduling for week one, which will likely begin Monday or Tuesday.
-
So with Xerol dropping out, it looks like I'm paired up with linkspast, right?
Play whatever games you can that might be possible to play. Linkspast would be next for you I believe, but if vega12 is on, play him to simulate the possible final.
-
oh shit I forgot about that somehow.If a 3 or 4 threatens the king on the first move, all you have to do is move IN with your king. Now your king is safe. You can't kill on the first move.I'd still like to see 9x9 board though
-
DOOOO ITTTTT.I'z gotz madd Java skillz - it'za hafta do.Baseball season on the radio begins today
-
Can we get this thing finished and get on to the next tournament?
I think that mew and I will consult on the format and things when I get a chance to talk to him later, but I'd be willing to say that this was not a disaster per se, but should have been done differently.
-
I was wondering if my initial assessment of that was correct - what with the random numbers on pawns from the outset, it would appear that neither Light nor Dark would hold a significant advantage by moving first. Not like chess, where I think White hold, like, a 50.5% winning percentage or something like that.
Well my issue is that, say you have a 2 king, and all 1 pawns. A 4 or a 3 strikes, threatens the king on the first move, and neither can you block him or he moves out of the way, game over.
This scenario is one reason why I'd actually like to see the game played on a 9x9 board, 8 pawns, 1 king, and both kings are centered. While this doesn't develop play quickly, it certainly kills many "go first" advantages. Darkesword will say "nah, doesn't need to be changed" (also said this to a checkmate-style rule), but it's just a thought - someone with C++ skillz could work it
-
Arek will likely be awarded 3rd seed.
-
Standings have been updated to reflect a 2-0 win over Darkesword.
-
-
Oh...in the interests of speedy play, don't worry about the alternating rule - we've had so much trouble with this in the past and currently that it doesn't really matter, plus there's no significant advantage to going first.
-
wow.

As Kamoh mentioned, he did beat me in two hairline close games. I'd like to think that Kamoh and I are pretty evenly balanced, because I think his experience won out this time. And of course a number of good moves helped too.
In an astounding exhibition of luck, good luck, and more luck, I nabbed two wins off of DarkeSword, to bring me back up to even W/L. I think I pulled the right draw, like, three times in a row at one point. It was just obnoxious. I entirely anticipate the uberpwnage coming my way in the playoffs, after this.
Also got my games in with Hemophiliac. I was pleased with an initial win, where basically everything was going my way. Once my luck ran out though, Hemo had ample opportunity to display his prowess, and did so with a solid win.
So,
Rainman DX vs. Kamoh, 0-2.
Rainman DX vs. DarkeSword, 2-0.
Rainman DX vs. Hemophiliac, 1-1.
Whew! Came out even on my first go around - decent, I'd like to think. That said, I'm finding that with this game, I could've played just as well and lost 6 in a row. Not like chess, in that way...
EDIT: Dude, Kamoh, where'd the table go? I guess I only have JD and Arek left to play, right?
Woooow...fantastic job with the two victories vs. DS - although I still consider him to be the best player until he loses a playoff.
Hopefully JD has been studying a little bit - I'd really like to add high-caliber players to the list and Rainman is certainly a low-mistake player like the most of us.
-
I got it to work ONCE on my own (not in netplay). There are similar issues all around.
Is there another emulator that we could use that's actually adequate?
-
-
Two great but incredibly tough wins vs. Rainman DX.
1) 6-5, 80 moves.
2) 5k-4 win, 76 moves.
My finishing move in game 2:
-
Play each other player twice (alternating red/white), 10 games total for every player.
Standings criteria, in order: Wins, Losses, Wins vs. tied, Losses vs. tied, Strength of Wins, one-game playoff.
Top ranking player recieves a bye into the final.
Second and third ranking players playoff for the other berth in the final.
All playoff matches are best 3/5.
Deadline for this round will be 7 days (February 14th).
