A&A World Cup 2012 Discussion

[JamesAleman]

You should start at 11am on November 11th, 2011. Armistice Day ended WWI, so that is a good point to start WWII World Cup I.  :-D

[Gi_Joe]

11am Central European time or GMT or maybe EST or CST or ….  :-D

I like the idea.
Not that it matters, not all can start at the chosen point.

11am local time for the German player to post his move :)

this will be no suprise to anyone, but i’m a little confused about this whole tourney.  you can move me around to play any game or anyone. i’m fine with it. i just dont have G40 yet.  whoever plays me just let me know i’m ready, are you?  :mrgreen:

[Amon-Sul]

when do we start playing

[DarthMaximus]

Probably in Nov. sometime.

[DarthMaximus]

Lets gear up to start all the preliminary matches on Nov. 15.

I’ll look stuff over and maybe post some final comments next week before we get started, but for now we can shoot for Nov. 15.

In terms of priorites:

1 - Current AA50-41 and G40 tourney games
2 - League playoffs
3 - WC pre lims

I know many of you might have multiple games going and we still have plenty of time to get this done, since I want to do the heart of it in 2012 anyway, so I don’t want you to fall behind in current tournament games if you have them going so do moves in those games first.

So, Nov 15 has come and gone  :-). When do we start? Also, are we using alpha 3+ for G40?

Good question.
I don’t really play G40.  What’s the standard at the moment and generally accepted as the most playable (with bids of course)?

[thatonekid]

i think it shold be like the other G40 tourney, where its Alpha 2, then if both players want 3 then you can play with alpha 3

[TheDefinitiveS]

Lets do this!!!

Well, I am playing a game straight up with alpha 3 and I am the Axis and holding my own. Personally, I like alpha 3 better, but to be fair, I have only played 4 or 5 with alpha 2 and only 1 with alpha 3. If there is a vote, I would go with alpha 3 since that is the final version…as well as not realigning my thinking…not that my thinking is deep or helpful at all!!!  :-D

[JamesAleman]

I’m not a fan of A3, and after I finish my current A3 will not be playing it again. If we opt for A3 just remove me from the line up. Sorry.

[TheDefinitiveS]

The default will be ALpha 2 unless both players agree to ALpha 3. Simple.

[DarthMaximus]

@TheDefinitiveS:

Yeah, I agree.  That is the simplest way to go.

[DarthMaximus]

For game threads use something like

WC-Qualifing - player A (axis) vs. player B (allies)

For bidding, we’ll use auction for all styles, which is what we use in the 50-41 league and tourney.

I roll for who starts the bidding

1 - top player
2 - bottom player

Rolling 1d2:
(2)

[DarthMaximus]

Bottom player starts the bidding.

[Yoshi]

not funny, Amon and I play both games together… (nothing against you Amon :) )

[DarthMaximus]

@Yoshi:

Oops.

I’ll fix that.

For Revised do:

Amon vs.
Funcioneta

Yoshi vs.
GI_Joe.

Sorry about that.

[TheDefinitiveS]

Im guessing we PM the bidding to each other . Also for Global 40 just checking the bid is to play as the Axis?
