League General Discussion Thread

@gamerman01
Simon just sent me a play in bid. I am ok to play in but do not want to bow out unless you tell me to not play.

Not required, but recommended - list what you would spend your bid on while you’re bidding. With high OOB bids, it can help a lot if you each knew what starting setup you’d be facing.

Gamer, I generally prefer to bid up instead of down if I’m initiating the bid (i.e. I’ll take Axis and give you 40). I didn’t see anything in the rules against this, but would obviously preclude being able to specify what the bid is spent on. Is that ok?

thanks gamer, really love the spiced and hyped tournament opening statements, really appreciate them! definitely creates additional excitement in the air!

while adam is a giant in ptv, based on the one game i played against stucey, i would be extra careful in that one!

still not happy that pac gave up his seat in the bm playoffs, but it’s what it is i suppose. glad he’s back, tho, and i’ll try to get a game or two with him outside of the playoffs.

assuming farmboy and adam advance like they usually do, seems like they’ve had quite the rivalry in recent years but farmboy has had him figured out… i would suggest adam deploy a new strategy so as not to repeat history!

and ghost, you better look out, as i’m coming for you!

now, where oh where is former heavyweight @JDOW hibernating all these years… won’t you come back already?

anyway… off we go, should be fun!

Checking bid rules, noticed our new rule that past league champion is automatic #1 seed.

Fortunately I didn’t hype up any of those matchups. Good luck facing the buzzsaws, boys

well it did mess up my hype ups lol

all good tho, had forgotten that rule too

JDOW occasionally lurks, sometimes even closely following a championship game occasionally. I think he would be very difficult but not impossible to resurrect. A truly remarkable track record here, and did you see his interview with @crockett36 that I think is less than 1 year old? Some real nuggets of A&A advice in there, along with all the generally fascinating/interesting thoughts all around them

yeah i was in communications with him recently, he promised he’d make a comeback lol

@gamerman01 Thanks Gamer, love the annual write ups

I’m going to say I have a lot of sympathy for this position. I really shouldn’t have played Adam and dropped my standing in the league, and also the second game with bobbarossa.

Anyway, it is what it is.

Yes totally OK. If both players agree, you can agree to sides however you want.

However, if there’s not agreement, then the league “defaults” are there to make the decision for you. Even the league defaults do not specify bidding up or down, and certainly nothing about disclosing placements before bidding is over. I was just throwing in an idea now that OOB bids are quite high and some players prefer knowing what that +50 or +60 is going for before deciding. Thanks for the respectful question

Great! Thanks for the clarification.

@gamerman01 Can someone link the postings please.

@farmboy you two related?

@axis-dominion lol. Not that I know of
