Everyone. I am looking to see if there is an available tournament schedule for any version of the game. Would love to meet new people and compete a little bit pushing plastic.
GARGANTUA'S $200 TOURNAMENT OF EXTRA DEATH AND PAIN (TripleA Only) 2xELIMINATION
-
garg, vold, and clausiwitz’s idiot apprentices
due to Transatlantic Alliance Of Evil and little threats dropping from the tournament, both teams of speedo hares(vold) and clausiwitz’s idiot apprentices(cia) opponents’ have dropped from the tournament in the 2nd round.
instead of having both vold and cia sit around for 2 months, why not pair them up. then pair up the 2 dissolved teams.
so instead of two teams having a buy in the 2nd round, this would cause 1 team to get a buy in the 3rd round.what do all parties think about this suggestion?
-
I’m OK either way.
-
thats a good idea - please do so Love!
Thanks for your help. :)
Love is now an official tournament moderator! Do what he says! :0

eskander, i do not plan on taking your official bracketeer position. but i did update the bracket to show the new matchups to accommodate the dropped teams.

I’m confused on this bracket. It has Speedo Hares vs Clausewitz’s IA’s in Loser bracket R1, and the winner faces Clausewitz’s IA’s?

SILENCE PUNY ONE!
Whilst I officially review this matter.
-
What it says vold is that you lost to clausewitz already?
is that true?
And if not… when are you playing? :P And if you have been defeated twice… have you secured membership in one of the dissolved slots? or on a broken team? :D

it was my fault, i tried to take on eskander’s role of braketeer and messed it up. lets try this file instead.

The Numenoreons won our game over Team Mountain High.

FYI
All Round 3 X-Dap games that have not already started, will NOT recieve a bid…
instead, they will recieve a Russian Bomber! For playtesting purposes…. ;)

so if sides cannot be agreed upon, there will be a coin flip but no additional bid?

or are you saying the russians get a bomber in their starting package and THEN bidding occurs. this would probably turn into bidding positive for the axis or negative for the allies right?

garg, i would just let people play and bid as they like.
i dont mind using a russian bomber as a bid suggestion. but would not force it on anyone.
i would be happy to be the axis and give my allied opponent a russian bomber in my next game.

I think the objective is to test the idea that some have been promoting, that the addition of a Russian bomber balances the game and obviates the need for a bid. People playing in the 3rd round of a tournament like this will all be solid players and it gives a good venue to objectively test out the idea.

i understand the idea and think it is a good one, but should be a suggestion and not mandated.
when people signed up for the tournament this is not something they have been expecting to change 6 months into a tournament.

garg clearly stated that he could change anything at anytime, or something to that effect no? :-)
i think forcing the russians to have a bomber is fine, but then we could still bid so that’s all i was asking.
-
Boldfresh’s assessment is correct.
Put the bomber on the board, and bid from that point or don’t.

I’ve got to agree with my partner on this one. I think mandating changes 3 rounds in throws too big of a twist into a tournament - especially when we have already been playing for months.
I think testing the Russian bomber is a great idea and I would love to try it out with anyone outside of the tournament. If people think this makes the game more balanced then it will naturally filter into later round bids. We have had the ability to play allies +12 all along and will continue to be able to do this without making it mandatory.
Also, while it has been 2-1 axis wins in the early rounds, I still think this will balance out in later rounds with more experienced players. Garg I think your tournament is an excellent place to test the idea that experience and teamwork will win the day for the allies and I fear that mandating a huge change won’t let us see if this is true or not.

I have a question. The rules seem to indicate that a bombing raid by a strategic bomber causes damage as dr+2. I just tested this in tripleA and it only damaged as dr. What’s the story?

scratch that, it works as it should.
