GARGANTUA'S $200 TOURNAMENT OF EXTRA DEATH AND PAIN (TripleA Only) 2xELIMINATION

[Noll]

my teammate of the “Defrosted Tuna Team” said me he wants to drop out of the tournament. As I’m left alone in the team, and I think the original spirit of the tournament was to show the game and tripleA to new players, if there’s a replacement (i/e: someone that wants to join my team in a game that is already at round5) I’d be happy to have it on my team, otherwise I guess team Defrosted Tuna dissolves.

Waiting also on Garg’s statement.

Aww, come on man. Might be fun! It could be your punishment for driving away your previous team mate!

the spirit and original intent was to have new players brought into the game by partnering with an experienced player. if you can pick up a new partner that is great.

but do not feel like you need to drop from the tournament because you are a wolf pack of one. If you do not have time to post then that is a different story.

So what happens when my opponents intentionally decide to post every 72 hour period?

[Mistergreen]

You thank your lucky star that he’s not posting every 96 hours.  :-)

Id say u505 doesn’t negotiate with terrorists cow.  ball is in your court to accept his terms, which to tell the truth sound pretty reasonable.

[Cow]

Nah, that is just their strategy, they like to slow play to keep the game from progressing to the later rounds.

If it were a cash game poker table sure I’d wait all day, but this is a board game.

Reminds me of the magic card tournaments, every match had one guy who would play soooo slow for their 50 minute matches. That is the strategy though, win the first game and stall the second out.

In axis and allies it could keep the game from going to the later rounds. Generally speaking when I am axis I try to win the game before round 10 by vc count in europe or pacific. So of course I want to progress the game. It is not like there is a secret behind my strategy, it is pretty direct.

Sometimes if the allies are really defensive you settle for an income game. But like usually Russia drops on real fast or japan blows up the pacific. Allies stop both of them they win generally… but if the axis don’t even get to that round… then what is the point of playing?

The truth is that it all depends on the situation. But, typically the game is for the Axis to expand quickly and for the Allies to turn them back in the later rounds so it it becomes more advantageous for the Axis to slow play after their initial early expansion and not the other way around. Your logic is flawed.

And my slow play had nothing to do with any strategy you seem to have invented in your mind. I deduced from your incessant barrage of posts that you were an impatient person and I did it to to raise your ire simply because I don’t like you. Think what you want, though. Ignorance is bliss.
