GG.

@AldoRaine we can also consider slowly resuming this game from two years ago :-) pacifiersboard (X) vs AldoRaine (L +16) BM

@pacifiersboard sure that sounds great. I feel really bad about falling off with the games. I will let you know when i feel i have enough time to pick it back up.

I’m fancying a game of PtV, preferably against someone against whom I have a slight chance of making it competative - so looking for an opponent with an ELO of 1500 or less. For reference my ELO is 1332.

@FlyingBadger I’ve got an ELO of 1522, but it’s based on games of Global I played 5 years ago – currently playing my first two human games of PtV now. As soon as one of them finishes, I’d be happy to play you next if you’re interested.

@FlyingBadger your current ELO is 1553! Mine is only slightly higher, and likely to come down after my current games are finished! My PTV skills are not great it seems…Happy to play you if you are interested

@FlyingBadger will probably tell you this, but he’s talking PtV ELO, not overall

As @Argothair is saying, he’s just now getting into PtV while @FlyingBadger has 21 games under his belt

@wizmark is 5-4 with a 1538 in PtV, so almost in badger’s desired range but not quite

Badger only has 3 PtV games completed since 1/1/23 so doesn’t have a ton of recent experience, most is years ago

Argothair hasn’t played in the league since 2019

I just used the results tab and the PtV ranking board,

I recommend you play Argothair and teach him some PtV the HARD way!!! lol
Or wait for someone else.

Just trying to help.

Sorry, should have been clearer. My PtV ELO is 1332.

@Argothair Looks like you are doing quite well in both your current PtV games. Check back after one has finished and let’s see where we are both at.

@wizmark Your PtV ELO is 1538 and you have won 5 of 9 games. Seems like a decent record to me, but maybe we could play if you think it’s not too much of a mismatch?

Thanks @gamerman01. Didn’t see your post until after I submitted mine.

Yes, I am a relatively experienced PtV player, although that experience mostly consists of me getting my ass kicked. Has it really been over two years since I last played PtV, damn! Do the horses still move two up and one to the side, or is that the castles?..

This is why I’m trying to use ELO to find a game I can be competitive in, don’t mind being the underdog but there’s definitely some PtV who would easily beat me to death with a sock full of s**t.

Just realised I was playing a PtV game last month. I’d say I need to drink less, but I rarely drink - maybe that’s the problem.

That game got aborted early though, so it has been one and a half years since I last completed a PtV game, and in the last two and a half years I’ve only won one PtV game (other than claiming a game due to inactivity).

@FlyingBadger I’ll give you a game if you want. Hopefully my losing record will be enough to lure you in.

@FlyingBadger Mika is kicking my ass in 1 game and im probably going to lose against Max as well. So my main experience is losing! DM me a bid if you want to play :)

@FlyingBadger you just read too fast

I find it funny y’all are trying to race to the bottom to con(vince) someone into giving you a game.

@mikawagunichi cooking with the spicy memes

@FlyingBadger is certainly a worthy opponent for any of you 🤓

@Stucifer I’m at the bottom if anyone wants to be embarrassed losing to me. Lol

You are at the bottom of the league tables, but you would easily beat 95+% of the occasional board game players!

Thanks everyone for the offers for a game. Just thought I would let you know I’ve started a PtV game with Zarhunter.

I might check back in with you in a few weeks if I feel like I’m after an additional PtV game. I don’t want to over commit as I’m still figuring out openings and strategies.

I thought I could use ELO to assess whether someone was an appropriate opponent, but it was a more comlicated than I thought.

One of your respondents who had no PtV games played, was looking at overall which was very misleading.

Just look at PtV ELO and how many games someone has played, and if you want to go further, look into the results tab to see their detailed history

We put a TON of hours into putting that data in!

USE IT!!!
