You did the community a service, Peirce’s rating is leaping to it’s rightful level faster, and others are getting a clearer picture of what they’re up against.

And when I beat him, I’ll get more points

Ah! Yes.

No disrespect was meant. Thanks for clarifying

@mikawagunichi Only about 15, at the most

My overall got murdered by a single throw of the dice in a Classic game this year…

You would have been +3
Because you’re ELO is super high
Maybe too high.

@axis-dominion Disagree. Again, your rating is in the stratosphere. If you want to caress your ELO, you are almost a lock against anyone below 1800 or 1900, yet your ELO goes up a few points each time. What do you think it should be?

Any good system is going to weight your rating by the strength of your competition. If you get too much from just decent players, you’d just farm them.

@axis-dominion LOOOOL that is inevitable, it’s going to happen once in a great while and you know it

But that will happen a lot more often! You earned the right to be proud! It sucks to be knocked down a peg. Just sleep on it

13 points to get back to #1 above @Adam514
Man, Adam isn’t even rubbing it in your face or anything. Lick your wounds, lion, and get back out there!

I gotta put in one more thing. When people attack Zone 110 without a battleship, every scrambled plane hit takes out a German plane. You don’t want that.

Good luck ending the debates  :lol:
I think a battle by battle game review, by an objective experienced human player is the closest we can ever get to figuring out who was luckier and by how much.  Like Adam, I’m just very leery of something that purports to settle the question of who got luckier, when any automated system will have substantial weaknesses because only a human can weight each battle by its significance to the game.

@Stucifer is in

We need 2 more and will wait a few days for more. Extras might be added to allied teams.

Allies are going to need bigger bids than 1v1, obviously

Free agents at this time are
Stucifer
Mikawa
Crockett36
Oysteilo

You may or may not want to wait until a better prospect comes along!

I don’t even miss the BM modifications… :O

Oof, didn’t get it done.
Long weekend to annual family reunion, leaving tomorrow morning, back Tuesday

Path to Victory, right?

I just added up Ghostglider, Adam514, General Disarray, Axis Dominion, 666, Peirce, and ArtofWar. FOR THE PAST 18 MONTHS ONLY
In total they took Allies 39 times, Axis 31
General D wants the Allies and took them 6 times and Axis only 1
Peirce wants Axis and took them 6 times and Axis 0
So those two offset.

About bids for PtV, and it being the most “balanced” because of small bids chosen:

We don’t have enough sample size, not even close, to make any conclusions about what a proper bid should be.

Most of the games completed over the past 18 months should be thrown out of consideration because the stronger player almost always wins. I’m seeing that no matter what side is taken by who, the stronger player wins - almost always.
The rest of the games, which are few, just don’t tell you anything about bids because there are waaaaay too many other variables.

The 42% Axis statistic I dropped last week, and the fancy colored bar graph in the statistics section of the ELO rating sheet?

Horribly misleading!

How much the Axis win is largely a function of who likes to take what side. Maybe that’s what @crockett36 was looking for. Top players took Allies 39 times to 31, and, guess what, the Allies have been rolling the past 18 months.

The fact that stronger players are winning more games is not a strong indication that PtV is “balanced” close to zero.
I’m convinced that rather, it’s a strong indicator that PTV is big enough and complex enough that the results are not very sensitive to a bid.
To be clearer, I doubt that we would have much different results between a -30 bid and a -8 bid. The skill of the players and the magnitude of the game overpower it.

We have 6 players entered for an 8 player, 4 team, mini 2v2 G40 OOB tournament,

So looking for 2 more

Emphasis on fun and team play, results not recorded, just tons of fun

See pinned thread -

Can take more than 2, because teams can be 3 players

Posted siren’s call on League discussion thread just now

@pacifiersboard said in Post League Game Results Here:

I hardly get to playing and wanna call the playoff game at least - GG

This isn’t cheap - R6 and allies have overwhelmed.

Thanks for the good time and the remarks, Jacob! Hit me up again sometime, I’ll try and keep my A&A load light
