18L G40 LL Patryn (Axis) vs max334(Allies) +30

…yes, I did step into a bordering Chinese territory, so that’s what changes things? I am allowed to step into Korea after the US captures them, but Russia can not attack them, is that correct?

[Patryn]

Yes I beleive that is correct regarding Korea.  I did not say that you were not that good.  I was only saying that based on the fact that if you wanted to qualify for the championships, you would only be playing tier e and m players.  Even a win against a tier 3 is worth less than a loss against a master level.  Therefore based on our previous games, it is highly likely we are not making the championships.  Not an indictment of skill per se.  I haven’t seen enough of your game to be sure, though I will say that the top players I have played have never asked for takebacks of this magnitude or even smaller ones that I recall.

Lol… I was trying to be funny. I know I’m not that good, not yet anyway…  :)  I just kind of hate making big mistakes and just kind of want to pretend like it never happened. I just recently made it on the board as a league player, so i was being kind of prideful. Thanks for putting up with my antiques. Can you tell me how to copy the game thread so i can post the loss?

What does 18L mean

2018 League Global 40 Low Luck was the abbreviations I used in the title.

[max334]

Ty. But just so i understand your decision not to restart from J3, it was because it was a league game and you had never done that before. Is that right?

[Patryn]

In general, I don’t like to reset to earlier, anytime dice have been rolled.  I am more than happy to allow edits that are on the same turn, but I didn’t see an easy way for us to go back that far and get the same results of some of the other battles.

[max334]

oh, because of the dd… we would easily fix that, just edit and puff he’s gone. I posted the loss, not sure I did it right

[Patryn]

I believe the post was fine.  As to the league game part - yeah pretty sure it’s not in the rules to reset that far back, however, it’s always at your opponent’s discretion so I suppose it would have been possible.  That’s why I said if you wanted to edit the state of the board after R4 to what you think the US should have looked like I probably would have continued though I wasn’t sure if you were still taking Korea and having Russia do the same actions.

[max334]

how did you get PATRON 2016 & 2018 under your name

[Patryn]

Donate on the support drive on the right :)

[max334]

Ready to play another? I’d like to try Axis but not sure how much of a bid to give you.

[Patryn]

If it’s low luck we can just use the same bid.  I think anything under 30 for low luck gives Axis a pretty big advantage.

Maybe in 2019 I can get to the big league. Can you tell me how the tiers work? Is e the highest and what is e short for?

[Patryn]

From the League rules: E is for elite :)

3 - Scoring/Playoffs

3a - Each player will belong to 1 of 5 tiers based on their 2017 league year game results, after completing 3 games.  Cutoffs for tiers will be at 5.50 PPG for tier M (Master); 4.50 for tier E (Elite); 3.50 for tier 1; and 2.50 for tier 2.
Players will be awarded points as follows:
Win over tier M, E, 1, 2, 3 earn 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 points, respectively
Lose to tier M, E, 1, 2, 3 earn 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 points, respectively
Point totals are divided by # of games played to arrive at PPG (Points per game)
