that was quite the roll (and the one after was also pretty bad). And this has been quite the game to follow!

@WindowWasher When Roboto or I get on and see a result posted. Roboto’s been AWOL a few weeks
So Zero minutes to 72 hours normally
-
@WindowWasher You know we’re using an ELO spreadsheet and the old rankings system was discontinued 12/31/23, right?
-
@gamerman01 Yep, i just won a game a week ago or so and it hasn’t been put in so i was just wondering
-
It looked a little different than posted games normally do, was small and inadvertently overlooked.
And MrRoboto and I have been entering and checking, he has been gone a few weeks so it’s just been me entering, with no checking, so overlooked, yes -
@gamerman01, can you add some wording to the bidding rules for the NG inf placement that has been a longstanding accepted exception to the normal bidding rules?
-
Sorry, no.
It’s an exception from the simple rule, which is why it hasn’t been listed.
If we change it, then there is potential confusion with the way it was.
It shouldn’t matter because the “default” is really just a starting point, it’s not actually a rule. And if players can’t agree on whether to allow it or not, you could roll a die, or maybe you shouldn’t play each other.

If a nation that lost its cap plunders a cap, can they use the plundered money?

No, as the player skips all but the Combat Move, Conduct Combat, and Noncombat Move phases until the capital is liberated.

Do they keep the money or is it destroyed?

You collect these IPCs even if your own capital is in enemy hands.

Are the old games / game threads archived anywhere?
I wanted to have a look at some old OOB playoff games, but noticed that in “Post League Game Results Here” there is no result from before the year 2018.
Some Playoff games in the league rankings spreadsheet show a game ID. But entering these into the URL leads to an error message (“not found”).
Does anyone know, or is this rather a question for Dave Jensen? It would be a pity if legendary OOB battles would be lost forever.
-
Yes, ask Dave, maybe they were archived off-line.
There would be some hope that a player involved in one of those old games actually saved the file themselves. Ask them if they have it. You would probably also need to install an old version of Triple A.
Depending on how badly you want one, it is possible to reconstruct them if the Triple A game summaries are intact. I haven’t had enough time to get very far, but I am reconstructing the 2013 OOB championship game. So far it’s worth it, the G1 was wild. Let 110 (and 111?) go, used the aircraft to overwhelm Paris, sending fast movers immediately at Russia, complete with a slingshot on Yugo.
-
Thank you - I will ask Dave and eventually some players

Ghostglider v gamerman01 2014 champ J2.tsvg
Here’s G1 and R1 of the 2014 championship
I was putting it together in case crockett36 wanted to review an old one -
But yes, exhaust options 1 and 2 first.
I thought I would have saved my old save files, but maybe didn’t survive transitions to new computers over the years -
Where did you get the old game results before 2018 from? Is there another thread than “Post League Game Results Here”?
-
Ah, forget about the last question - I did not think of the League Ranking table which I mentioned myself, LOL :-)
-
@Martin Yes, we used to have a separate thread for each year.
2017 - 28656
2016 - 26706
2015 - 24308
2014 - 21921
2013 - 18628 -
Those will point you to the actual games.
Yes, the league rankings spreadsheet goes all the way back, and so does the current ELO spreadsheet - dates, players, sides, who won, bids -
Awesome - thank you very much! I will look into this and maybe post a few final games for the ones who might be interested. If and once I find them.
