2015 League Post Game Results Here


  • So I take issue with your pouting about the system because you don’t like what just happened.  It WAS in fact a correction, not a “corruption”.  If you want to be tier E, go out there and beat some tier 1’s and E’s.  One win against a tier E when you have 50 completed games is not going to do it.


  • @Shin:

    I think Axis-Dominion totally has a point, tho.  I think we need a rule that games that are not finished, for whatever reason, simply won’t count in the absence of an official ruling.  It isn’t fair to them than Pherman’s bugout caused the huge drop.

    You have a point, and I think some kind of rule is needed for quits, and I will think of one.  I don’t like people getting credit for wins from forfeits either.  Sorry Jenn, but there’s no way you could ever beat DutchmanD in a full game, unless he was drunk during every turn.

    However, it was NOT just Pherman’s bugout that caused a huge drop.


  • Pretty good discussion, I do understand all points made.

    You have to remember, we don’t change the rules in the middle of the year.  I don’t like the effect of forfeits either, and I didn’t like it before the Pherman issue.

    I like the ideas like panels and quotas, believe me, but I think we need a totally objective method that does not involve judgment calls.  I was careful to remove judgment calls from assigning players to tiers.  Believe me, I love making judgment calls, but for the integrity of the league it is important to keep them to 0 or an absolute minimum.

    AGAIN

    I’m sorry, but I do not view Dominion as a tier E player, though I have not seen any of his games.  I’m just going by who he’s won and lost to all year.

    Dominion, are you not having fun in the league?  Seems anyone who plays 50 games is a big fan.

    This time I handled the Pacific correct, but the disaster caught me on the Eastern Front. :-o


  • MakeMaps vs Variance (Allies +23):

    I tried to do an experimental game that had a bad start for both Germany and Japan. I’m going concede early for this one.


  • @Shin:

    And now one ragequit is compounded by another.

    Axis was STOMPING Giallo.  STOMPING.  Like Axis had 235, and Allies had 130.  I can’t believe the game was even still going.

    I messaged Giallo.  I’m not recording this one unless Giallo accepts it.

    I can principally understand that changing rules during a running season is not desirable in general. Do the current rules cover situations like a tier change from an player that went inactive all of a sudden? If no, this is not a change anyway but a necessary amendment (cant find a better word, not a native speaker), if yes, the point is taken on my side. I could not find a specific rule, but only skimmed over them so might have easily overlooked.

    I do not doubt that rules will be refined next year, btw, with a big majority being satisified.

  • @Gamerman01:

    So you have all the buzzards to thank too.

    this is pretty funny!  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

    Anyways, for what it is worth, I will give up my abandonment victory over PHerman….I think I was ahead but it was very early perhaps T4-5…The game of course still could have gone either way…

  • '17 '16 '15 '12

    As is your Super Bowl and our Champions League…

    Its a ranking involved, and a title, that changes matters. It certainly does for me, at times. If you really are totally tension-free and play it exclusively for fun (you are a good player I guess, so you could have something at stake), then there is something I envy in you.

  • '15

    I never stress over it.  I used to berate myself really strongly when I made some dumb mistake that led to a loss.  Now I just smile and ask for a rematch.

    I do take it seriously, in that I want to get better.  And I have been.  I’ve gone from being a Tier 3 to a middle ground Tier 2, and I feel that’s where I belong right now.  Maybe next year I can get to Tier 1?  Maybe not.  But either way, this is a fun thing.

    Classy, JWW, and done
    As for what it was worth - not much  :roll:
    It will take a few more of your league mates to follow suit, to raise Pherman to tier 1 again.  Like I said, hitting 20 games activated a loss of his to Adam.

    Axis-dominion, it is not fair to me if you scream bloody murder and don’t even communicate what it is that you want.  Do you expect me to bend the rules to keep Pherman tier 1 somehow?  Why?  So that you can keep your E status?  I’m just trying to understand, here.  Maybe you should be trying to convince the buzzards to give up their forfeit wins like JWW did - that’s up to you and them.


  • Giallo messaged me back, and he is effectively resigning, giving you the win you deserve, so I will record that now.

    I won a game!  Praise the Lord!

  • much appreciated

    @Gamerman01:

    Yes, again I hear you.  This isn’t the first time there’s been injustices due to abandoned games, if that’s any consolation.

    I’m just following the league rules and not making mid-season judgment calls (which itself is a judgment call).
    Slate is wiped clean in a month, and you won’t have those first 5 games weighing you down, and we will have new forfeit rules.

    Arthur Bomber Harris (Axis) over Cyanight (Allies 20)

    http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=36632.0

    It seems the only way I can win with the allies is to have my opponent abandon the game. :)

    A very effective method.  Another great method is to dice the crap out of them.  You should try that some time.

    @axis-dominion:

    i have also asked other elites for a game in the past, for example JDOW, but they were not available to play for one reason or another.

    As I was personally named here I just want to add that what you said is true but I asked you for a game some months before and you refused that time.

    Just want to say: There was a chance to play me, the reason it did not happen was not just me:)


  • oh hahaha, well actually when you asked me it was mid dec and i said i couldn’t cuz i was steeped in 8 games at the time. but only a couple weeks later (jan 3rd) i came back to you ready for one, but you said you couldn’t cuz your holiday was over. i guess i had a two-week window to catch you?  :lol:

    i will make sure to catch a game with you this dec, knowing i won’t have another chance after that. i mean, isn’t your limit only one game at a time?

    @JDOW:
