2013 - AAG 40 League

    Am I the only one, who sees a lot of question marks in the last post?


  • Thanks, Matt, I’ll take that off the list

    No, Roboto, you’re not the only one


  • 3b and 3c are still issues though?  Matt, if 3b is still true and you see the rocket result before choosing the next one, then it’s not fair for the attacker to roll them in Triple A like you did.  :-)

    I post my attack plan before posting combat, if it has changed, but yes B is still a game engine error.

    I tested C, it is still broken.

    Also, I see squares, not ?.  Interesting.


  • I see, yes, that’s a good solution for the rockets problem 2b (posting all rocket attack locations before rolling)

    Thanks for answering back.

    I meant 2b and 2c, etc, not 3

    @Gamerman01:

    regarding 1b, there is almost nothing to my worksheet.  I have a cell where I put in the amount of IPC’s I have, and a cell that adds up the IPC’s of the items I am planning to purchase.  Normally when I have damage on my facilities, I enter them as a purchase item.  If I have >10 damage on a major and I want to repair it, I put in the # of IPC’s it will take to get the damage down to 10.  Then I enter the cost of each item I want to buy as 1 more than normal, for the damage.

    Holy hell, that’s EXACTLY how I think of it!

    10 DMG to a major complex means Infantry cost 4 IPC and armor cost 7 IPC (cost of the unit +1 to repair the complex just enough to build said unit.)

    Interesting that the two of us think the same on that. lol.

    @Soulblighter:

    Regarding submarines. I can understand that there situations in which you have to roll on the forum. Mainly because of the size of the battles. However do you want to enforce the rule that we always roll these battles on the forum? Even when the OOL is clear and it doesn’t matter for the outcome of the battle and both players don’t mind using TripleA?

    A good question.  No, I do not want to make any unnecessary rules.  Players need to use good judgement.

    To be honest, it is still my opinion that all dice should be rolled using the in house dicey for a few reasons:

    1)  We can enforce the rules
    2)  I don’t have to wait for someone to forward the MARTI rolls to me, since they are obvious in the thread
    3)  I don’t have to worry about dice results getting “lost” in the ether, they’re all there and no one has the power to delete them except certain mods and a specific site founder
    4)  Abattlemap is by far the superior program to tripleA and yes, I did finally get tripleA to work on my main computer and no that does not change my opinion of it, and w.o. tripleA you are needing another dicey anyway.

    I won’t FORCE the league to switch back to a superior program and dicey.  I might be evil, but I’m not THAT evil. :P  But on the flip side of that coin, when in doubt, you can always use the inhouse dicey to solve the problem.  (I do this a lot when I need to reboot my computer and I am waiting for someone to give me intercept orders.  I assume no interceptors, roll the battle and if they change their mind, I redo it using the house dicey and make them edit the map!)

    @Gamerman01:

    Regarding establishing a thread with links to my various documents - that is a great idea, but I do not have the capability (nor does Jenn) to sticky a thread.  If I make a regular thread it will just get buried quickly anyway.  Thanks for the good idea, though

    Daaaavvvvvveeeeee. Jeeeeeeeeeennnnnsssssseennnnn……

    Yeah, I’m going to send him a PM now

    G’luck with that. :P

    To be quite honest, I think a lot of people think this way. I wouldn’t call it very unusual.

    I find logical behavior in humans to be unusual at best, unheard of at worst. :P  Where’s skynet when you really need a good dictatorship anyway?

    Skynet wasn’t being logical either. Even if the terminator managed to kill Sarah Connors, then the future it came from would not be changed. If that future would have been changed, then the terminator would never be send back in the first place. So rather the killing of Sarah Connors would have created a different future. A future in which John Connors never existed and Skynet would never have had to send back a terminator in the first place. However this would have been a different Skynet.


  • I like the way you think, Soulblighter

    I have observed that all time travel movies break down and have inconsistent assumptions and facts, but they are still my favorite kind of story.

    You should watch the anime called ‘Steins Gate’. I am certain you would enjoy it. Ofcourse you should watch it with English Sub and in Japanese.

    Jenn,

    Where are the league standings as the race tightens up and closes in?
    We need it!

    Arathorn

    Arathorn

    You COULD download the rankings spreadsheet as an Excel spreadsheet and do a sort by win %, but I will take care of it tonight.  Stay tuned.

  • '19 '13

    I COULD do it, and remember to count the games that are not included in the rankings ;) lol


  • I did remember.  Behold the official league standings (on a separate worksheet in the rankings spreadsheet - see tabs at bottom)

    If Me1945 wins one more game and one other person (we have 2 at 2-0) goes 4-0, I will be out of the top 8 by win %, at 23-3 (.885)

    Our #1 and #2 are 4-0 and 5-0, respectively.  But Jenn never officially updated the original rule of minimum 4 games, that I am aware of.

    Hank and Arathorn, if you want to be in the top 8 playoff to be named league champion for the year, you might want to take this up with Jenn……  I’m not ruling on it because of conflict of interest.

  • I thought there was talk of making the minimum games higher? I don’t know whatever happened with that discussion, but it happened at one point. I would be in favor of making a higher min game to get in. Although it’s hard to change things in the final stretch like this as it wouldn’t exactly be fair to bmnielsen and toanca. Although it doesn’t seem to be fair to someone like Hank, Arathorn, etc to get bumped by someone who has a 1/3 of the games under their belt and those against weaker opponents.


  • Which is exactly why I was squawking about it early in the year
