Ancients insist on nothing. I’m waiting you to confirm the only “accept the opponent bid or bid lower” rule.

let’s keep it simple and say we will go with the “accept the opponent bid or bid lower” rule if you are ok with that? if so, go ahead and submit a new bid if you like.
Allies +6
Allies +6
a very shrewd bid, as this is the amount I had in mind to bid in response to your +15 bid. i will confer with my partner, the Dutch one, and get back to you.
For your further references.
It is good idea not to rush with rolling a dice and stipulate a bidding step first. I don’t think our team took the advantage of bidding first fully.
Me1945:
I don’t understand, again. I’m not sure what you mean by rushing… if we are bidding, which is the tournament rule, then one must decide who will bid first. You WON the die roll to bid first, and gave a bid of allies +15. Then I gave you the option to change your bid once we clarified that there would be no “coin flipping” and you bid allies +6.
Are you now not feeling good about your bid of +6? I don’t believe there was any discussion of a deadline by which a bid must be put forth?
Can one of the Ancients please explain what Me1945 is trying to say - I surely want everyone to feel like all was done fairly before we begin the match. I find it hard to understand how one could say that TeamBoldDutch has done anything underhanded but please let me know if you feel otherwise.
Cheers
Never mind, Boldfresh.
Everything is good and fair.
Ancients, take the Allies. How do you want to spend your 6 IPCs?
Good luck and have fun. Cheers.
GL to you as well, all settled I hope.
Just one question for my future understanding: Bidding is tournament rule? As I understood it, if one team does not want to bid at all, it would be a die roll, no more questions asked?

What is the purpose of the die roll concept? I still have never understood it. A negotiated bid makes infinitely more sense to me. Can someone please illuminate me as to what this die roll concept is all about?
Only thing I can imagine is if you know the sides are even and the opponents are of equal skill it could save time?
by Garg, post #521 on the XDAP tourney thread:
I’m happy with one of either.
A. Coin Flip
B. BOTH parties agreeing to a bid, and then bidding.
I’ll leave it up to you…
then Garg added the bomber and addressed the bid again in post #763:
Boldfresh’s assessment is correct.
Put the bomber on the board, and bid from that point or don’t.
Back to my comments now: apparently sides can be chose by EITHER die roll OR bidding (but I do not think some combination of both, at least no that I have ever seen). As I said, the coin flip never made ANY sense to me so I suggested we start the bidding process to determine sides.
Please let me know if you have any other questions. Otherwise, we patiently await your bid placement.
Cheers
either, yes. Might have been confused when bidding started without asking if it is wanted by both sides. A combination is tricky, I agree there.
We will come up with a placing soon.
later today, actually. And then lets look forward to G1.
I like to coin flip for sides sometimes. It is simple. wam bam done.
So pls put two inf into Alexandria.
ok, got it - we will begin to formulate the master plan. you can expect a G1 in the next couple of days I think, but I cannot guarantee one until Jan 2.
starting map attached.
please PM me your emails for the MARTI dice server.
have you divided up the powers? i believe i will be
handling germany/italy and dutch will handle japan.
not finally, but Me1945 plays UK.
Btw, I dont want to get those dice-emails. Me1945 will send his email, I think, as might Trajan.
