Thanks for the quick answer -
Sorry, you just missed the top 8

OK, all those in 2nd bracket you may carry on with the bracket as presented yesterday.

You want in PTV?

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

works for me. Guess we had better be playing people in the top-4 of the OOB tournament if we want a significant chance to have the game be of consequence. ready for a butt-whooping as my game is quite rusty.

[gamerman01]

Somebody besides Pacifier’s Board,
please volunteer to play ABH at the same time as your regular first round game. If you win the first round game but ABH beats you, you will be out and ABH gets your spot.

@gamerman01 @pacifiersboard @dawgoneit @Arthur-Bomber-Harris
I’m not sure I 100% understand what is going on, but it’s all fine with me.

If @pacifiersboard is playing @dawgoneit then I don’t mind playing @Arthur-Bomber-Harris for my place. If he wins then he takes my place in the 1st bracket against the winner of PacifiersBoard/Dawgoneit. I can play fast enough that I doubt it will slow down the playoffs overall.

If there is anyone who objects to this or thinks it is a pile of sh!t idea then I’m happy to do whatever the plan is currently.

JUST POINT ME AT THE ENEMY AND HEAR ME CRY “God for Harry, England, and Saint George!” AAARRRRR!!! :crossed_swords: :crown:

@flyingbadger

good stuff 👑

Actually the idea was that the two of us play two games each at same time: the regular playoff and the “bonus match” against dawg (me) / ABH (you). If the winner of regular playoff is beaten in the bonus match ABH / dawg will take the spot.

[gamerman01]

Um, let me thicken the plot further.

TinCan has now messaged me saying he would be willing to take a spot in the OOB playoff if needed.

I could say no, too late, if some of you are bidding and starting your games. Then we would just carry on with badger playing ABH and Pacifier playing Dawg (while they’re each also playing their first rounds)

But then that leaves a 3rd player out of the 8-man bracket.

What do you OOB players think?

[dawgoneit]

@gamerman01 We haven’t started yet.

[gamerman01]

TinCan says he can take it or leave it

[pacifiersboard]

@gamerman01

Maybe there is a third volunteer? Slight difference is that TinCan would have had a seed in “1st-bracket” and that messes with who plays against whom?

[gamerman01]

That’s why I’m asking if anyone started. Would be nice to put in the #2, but if it’s too late, it’s too late and TinCan doesn’t mind

[pacifiersboard]

@gamerman01

how fair is this for @Martin?

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

@gamerman01

I would prefer playing Pacifier or another top-4 person for the play-in if that is possible.

[Gargantua]

I don’t know if it would be appropriate or not

But if you are looking for a competent fill-in “body”

I would do it. And play any version, at the mercy of the community request.

And I claim the right of first come first serve!

I get that I haven’t played in the league in a few years, but was always a capable and dangerous opponent!

Open to anything. Consider me a medium tier AI!

Sure. TinCan didn’t make the signup date.
If TinCan becomes the #2 (everyone would have to agree) then Martin won’t be the #8 against Myygames, he would potentially have a chance to play a “volunteer” who would probably not be as tough as Myygames, and would give him a chance of getting straight to the 2nd bracket. So actually, Martin might like it better.

No changes will be made unless I hear from most of the OOB players saying they want TinCan in as #2

Yeah, can’t do it because everyone else had to have 3 games completed during the regular season. I’d let you in if I could. Have you even played “out of the box” in recent years? lol

@gamerman01 @pacifiersboard @dawgoneit @Arthur-Bomber-Harris

I see it like @FlyingBadger : I’m not sure I 100% understand what is going on, but it’s all fine with me. I don’t care who I am crushing, and I also never remember the names. LOL ;-)

@Myygames and myself have finished the bidding, and he is already shivering, but we did not start playing yet.

Let’s maybe clarify the rules for next year’s Playoffs to avoid this kind of hiccup going forward.

Just let me know who I shall play against, and it shall be all good.

[Myygames]

I Must say I am also Not 100% sure I understand the issue. I leave it to @gamerman01 to Decide.

As Martin Said we agreed on a bid but have Not started yet.

Just let me know whom I am against and I will go for it.

Besides that I love martins statement:

Just have fun;-)

[oysteilo]

I have not started my game either and am ok to any oob playoff changes

[AndrewAAGamer]

I too am not 100% sure what the ask is. I do not care who I play and leave it up to those with more understanding to decide. My only plan is to win, win, win…

Crockett and I have not started our game yet.

[gamerman01]

I do apologize for the confusion. This is what has happened:

1. Pacifier was right to ask about dawg and ABH standing alone, and had an idea to bring them in. What I’ve done in the past is just have them playoff against each other and winner is champion of the (tiny) bracket. Never heard any complaints.

2. Pacifier agreed to play dawg at the same time as Pacifier’s first round contest. If Dawg beats Pacifier and Pacifier wins his first round, then Dawg takes his place and Pacifier is out.

3. I was looking for another volunteer to play ABH in the same way as Pacifier. I don’t think we have one yet, unless I forgot in the confusion.

4. TinCanoftheSea has been away for months, I think, and heard about the playoffs and is interested but made it clear he can take it or leave it, would fill a spot if we needed it.

Now I’m mostly hearing from OOB playoff signups that whatever, give me some meat and I’ll kill it.

I would like to re-draw the bracket so TinCan is #2. Then we would need someone to volunteer to play Martin in the same way as #2 above (and also ABH).

I asked if anyone had dived into their game yet and all I’ve heard so far is Myygames and Martin finished bidding but they don’t care if that’s scrapped.

I would have just left the brackets the way they were if Pacifier hadn’t made his argument, but this way is good too.
