@cwglee51 Hey what version of tripleA is this?
BM Surfer (L+15) vs Farmboy (X)
-
@farmboy I had to edit the unloading of Brit inf from US transports because I attacked with 2 units then unloaded 6 in NCM, but the game engine in its infinite wisdom assumed that I would unload 1 inf from 2 boats, rather than 2 inf from 1 boat. Seems like this is a bug in the game.
-
@farmboy What did gamerman say about a draw?
If not possible, I’ll concede and minimize the ELO shift. I really don’t see this game ending soon. Do you? You have Russia and India and a larger IPC economy. (I do like my pincer attack on Germany) So I’d declare you the most likely winner.
I’d rather spend these last few days with family rather than play a game a few more rounds only to have it stopped anyway. Especially since I’ll just end up playing you again.
Cheers,
–Surfer -
@surfer @gamerman01 I think gamerman’s answer was likely no but I’ve ccd him here. I think you are right that this won’t end soon, that I am more likely to eventually prevail but there will be lots of chances for you to turn it around. I’m the one that needs the game for the playoffs and I doubt one loss will be that dramatic on my elo.
-
And perfectly reasonable to want to end it now rather than spend time playing that could be spent with family. My thinking was maybe with a couple of more turns an outcome will be more clear but we can agree to stop here. And if no tie, it seems like we are both amenable to conceding
-
i started following this game with interest very recently, and i think it deserves a real and unnecessarily rushed conclusion. it’s exciting to see a new contender emerge in the small and shrinking competitive circles, so let’s not stifle that in any way. i think farmboy should be allowed entry into the playoffs given his status as the current champ and that he’s been faithful in trying to meet the minimum game requirement even though that is no longer reasonable given the drastic drop in bm popularity for various reasons (another topic) and i’m confident there will be zero objection from the rest of the league on that slight bending of the rule.
-
@axis-dominion Thanks AD. I’ll be in no matter what. Agree this game is a good one, but I’m okay if it has to end now to get in the playoffs. I’ll let gamerman decide on this, but think it is fair whatever he decides.
And even if the game ends for league purposes now, Surfer and I have the option of playing it out to see what would happen. .
And @surfer, I missed a sentence in my last message. I was just saying if you weren’t ready to concede (which I think is reasonable) I cna do it as I’m the one that needs the game for the playoffs.
-
Yeah, no, like I said in PM
Not generally, though I think it’s been done before
I’d have to make an exception - case by case basis - there are circumstances where I think it would be acceptable but generally someone needs to resign it, or just accept that they can’t qualify this yearAs to those circumstances - it matters if we’re talking about you and the BM playoffs…
We could even make an exception to where the game doesn’t have to be called at all, win, lose, or draw, if you’re really needed in the BM playoffs, if everyone wants you, and you’re already at 5But you are such an important presence for that playoff, that if no one is opposed then we would bend the rules
Case by case basis, I don’t like to make exceptions but this is an exception all things considered. Surfer qualified anyway, exception will be made to include farmboy,
Complete this game as normal

@gamerman01 sorry, I seemed to misread that. And thanks!
