use the last one, disregard priors, they had errors.

hey OBG,

i’m very sorry to hear that you want to insist with the sinking of the 8 undefended transports in z62.  i was playing this game out for fun, i see no real chance for the allies to win - i was only playing it out for respect for a game that has gone well over 60 rounds to this point.

as you very well know, i’m brand new to tripleA in the first place and this is the first game of AA50 i’ve played on it (i’ve played 1 short game of global in the XDAP tourney playing only russia so i am still very un-used to how naval is presented in this format.  i’m not used to the map or the pieces are configured at all, especially as it concerns naval, and you can see from the two previous moves i made that turn, i fully intended to move all transports out of z62.  i redid the move the final time precisely to move the 8 transports to z51 instead of to z50 - i simply forgot to finish the move or just didn’t see them there nestled up against manchuria.  as you stated there were 10 days between my move and your move, but i never looked at the board again after finishing that move so i am not sure how the amount of time is relevant.

i don’t know if it’s a grudge you are still holding from round 1 of this game, or if you feel you need to sink those transports to insure your victory here (confusing since you are so far ahead).  either way, if you insist, it takes any remaining fun out of the game for me and i do not wish to continue.

if you were to change your mind, i will still finish out the game.  if you do not change your mind, i nevertheless wish you the best.  i think you are a good guy and again, i am very sorry i upset you early in the game - i thought that was behind us.  this is a short life and this is a game we are playing for fun - i see no reason to hold grudges or hatred in the heart.  thank you for the game.

Interesting game you two -over sixty rounds!  It would be a pleasure to see it continue - if not, well played by both sides!

Cheers

i would like to finish it - i mean how often does a game go 60+ rounds?

i finally had a little time to investigate further how the mistake happened, and i see that it was a simple keystroke error.  i wanted one of the trn from 62 to go to 50 and the rest (9) to go to 51.  in the final try at it, i thought i had grabbed all 9 trannies with a shift key but only got the one.  thinking they had all moved and with that being the last thing i did, i hit post and never looked at it again until i saw OBG’s post that all transports in z62 were sunk.  i really hope he reconsiders.  even though i’m almost certainly toast anyway  :lol:  to me this would just be a terrible way for it to end, on a keystroke error.  i lost a good chunk of my fleet off the coast of africa earlier in the game when an italian tank randomly happened to hit on defense (i guess i just count on the italians to miss in my head) and it gave a landing spot for a huge japanese fighter squadron to annihilate my fleet - i think it was like 6 bat and 15 trn or something crazy).  that was hard enough to swallow (i really find it hard to lose due to something the ITALIANS do) but this issue is in a whole other league, in my humble opinion.

hey obg, you still sure you don’t want to let the transports live and finish this one out?

@Ol’:

No thank you

Do you believe i intended to leave the transports in z62?

I do not care about the win/loss but i hate to see no real resolution to a game that has gone this long.

I don’t know what to say, so I won’t say anything except that I won’t say anything  :-P

Haha that doesnt sound like Gamerman.  Did you kidnap him?

Maybe I’m learning a tiny bit more restraint

Maybe

Well, that move gets my cowardly act of the year award.  he takes a win on an obvious technicality, i am in shock and awe of that bold stroke.

by the way, Yoshi’s dice are E-P-I-C.  apparently rising dragon is the only one that knows how to crack the code because that was the only game where i have seen Yoshi get diced.

Obvious technicality

It’s best to not even play those who are this stubborn.  Same stubborness as in round 1 with the German tanks.  It’s not the first time and it won’t be the last, so you might as well spare yourself the next episode.  Not that you have a choice.

I’ve learned to be more selective with my opponents.  There are plenty of guys on this site who are good players, reasonable, courteous, smart, funny, and nice.  So there’s no reason to put up with the rest.
