@Ghostglider v @axis-dominion is set, after the first 2 games of the BM playoff have finished.

I was going to recap a little of their history together, but… it’s not pretty. Let’s just say Ghost trained Axis-Dominion in his early days and then AD got the hang of it.

Good luck, have fun, and whoever wins, the other finalist will definitely have a rough go!

[axis-dominion]

thanks gamer! yeah we do have a long history together don’t we. i don’t even know what our record against each other is, did you dig that up?

You can type your name in the “results” tab
Then control F to search for a name
That’s all I did,
One of the strengths of the Mr Roboto results system

Holy cow. Obi-wan won even though the very young padawan had more midi-chlorians. Don’t believe the emperor, @axis-dominion , he’s a liar preying on your greatest fears!

I finally figured out some of MrRoboto’s charts and statistics in his statistics tab of the ELO rankings spreadsheet.

I changed the range of data to 1/1/24 - 6/30/25 to get the last year and a half’s snapshot.

Statistics like this can be very misleading, especially since these are just a composite of all games that have been finished since 1/1/24 and they are just averages.

Occasionally a bid amount is unknown and is in as a zero. Regardless, average BM bids have been approximately 22 over the past 18 months, and Axis win percentage is 48.76%

Apparently 22 is about the right bid. It’s actually rare in our league that we find equilibrium this close.

So the balanced mod is balanced… after you give the Allies 20-25

that seems to be about right in my experience as well. altho adam believes it should be closer to 25-28 i think
