Ghost (allies +13) over Arathorn (Axis)

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=33723.120

Still very much up for grabs, with a slight advantage for Allies, but I won’t have time to complete this in the near future.

I hoped for the longest time that I would be able to stretch for a pacific win after disastrous dice decimated the European theatre consistently throughout the game. Destruction of German airforce for nothing over the course of early rounds led to disaster, and Japan couldn’t do the job though they were close at one point.

good game snake

Wheatbeer (Axis) over Arathorn (Allies + 22)

Well played by Wheatbeer in European scenario.

I still argue this game is contested, but the economic advantage of a super Italy would probably grind this win in for the Axis. And with me not having time in the weeks ahead, wheat deserves the win.

Axis are 4-0 in the games between Arathorn and Wheat, even with very large bids.

My apologies to my worthy opponents for delays and not being able to claim their wins at the rolls of final dice, but my schedule has disabled me from quality play the next few weeks, and I don’t want to hinder you in the pursuit of wrapping up our games before the playoffs start.

I wasn’t going to make the cut for the playoffs anyway at this point unless something drastic changed, and I wouldn’t have been able to participate even if I should have qualified.

My ranking will drop to tier 2 :( and should thus create some changes among the top players.

May the best win.

you’ll always be tier 1 in my book arathorn!  :-P

[gamerman01]

Have you checked - would some of these opponents prefer to wait for you?

[gamerman01]

You would be 3.46 if you claimed all 3 losses.  That would be a shame, to the 10 players who played full games against a 4.00.

Surely one or two of these 3 tier 1’s you’re currently playing would be happy to give you a long break

arathorn probably wants a clean slate, no carryovers to next year.  i think 0.04 off of tier 1 can be a gamerman judgement call on remaining tier 1, don’t you think?  we all know arathorn is a tier 1 quality player.

cheers

Arathorn is a class act……

No judgment calls this year.  They’re the official rankings.  Let him answer for himself.  I think it’s likely he’ll reconsider.

@JWW:

@MrRoboto:

I take challenges from everyone

Mr. Roboto, for the purposes of the league, the playoffs and rankings, I would suggest that you spend a bit more time evaluating who you play in the league, I only suggest this as I am now doing the same to help my PPG next season. I suggest this assuming you want to have a higher rating and make a bid for the playoffs. No system is perfect but this system seems to work out quite well.

Like you I used to welcome newcomers and help teach them “in the league”. Now I suggest we play a non-league game. Still fun, helps newbie’s, you can try out new strategies etc�and it won’t even slightly hurt your PPG�…

Just my two cents

Well thanks for the advice, although I did not need it. I already decided not to play against any tier 4’s next season.
It’s a shame, but oh well…

[lexgreat]

Take me, Mr Roboto. I will be a fresh tier three when the next season starts, as far as I understand the rules.

[MrRoboto]

well but I don’t know if you’re gonna drop to tier 4 later in the season. I didn’t find you in the rankings for this year…

alex is a tier 1 player.

[lexgreat]

well, I was. But you guys play a lot, and well. And not just a few. I will have to earn tier 1 status the hard way.

Thx anyway, though, Bold :)

Whackamatt (Allies+15) over Soulblighter (Axis)
http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=34414.180

First tech for Russia: Rockets, First tech for US: Long Range Fighters

Axis were never the same after that again.

[Soulblighter]

Game was supposed to be setup with tech tokens. But something went wrong and it removes the tokens all the time. Given the axis invested in it and G1 was horrible, I just give up:

Odonis (Allies+14) over Soulblighter (Axis)
http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?board=54.0

Not counting this game. Wrong link, and not on Gamer ranking spreadsheet for 2014.

Gamerman01

[Soulblighter]

The Odonis game might be able to be continued.

[MrRoboto]

There’s a check box reading “Remove Tokens at the end of turn” or something similar, directly beneath the option to include tech. You can still change that option and continue to play.

@alex: in that case, I’ll gladly accept your challenge.

It is time to put up the sign-up sheet for the additional league playoffs, which start 11/2/14!
From the 2014 league rules:

“All players who have completed 4 or more games and who did not qualify for the main playoff may sign up for participation in the additional league playoffs.  These playoffs will also start with 8 players each and will be ordered by PPG (with byes or play-in games as necessary).”

I will be setting up the additional league playoffs based on who has signed up by the end of 11/1/14. 
You should sign up even if you are currently in the top 8 and want to participate in playoffs, in the event that you do not end up in the top 8.

I underlined it above, but I repeat, ALL PLAYERS who have a ranking # (have played 4+ games by 11/1/14) are invited to these playoffs.  I have not restricted myself by promising how many would be in each bracket, but I will be looking to put 8 in a bracket, so that there are a maximum of 3 games to play.
