Hey everyone,

If you’d start your tournament games here in the tournament section, play by forum, it would be great because

1. We can see how the games are progressing (or if they’ve even been started)
2. Easy for players to peek in on others’ hot Classic games

We didn’t make it a rule, and I’m not going to apply pressure. So if you’re merrily playing by e-mail or in play boardgames or whatever you’re doing, not a big deal, just report in here when the game’s over.

Would be nice if at a minimum a save file at the end is posted, but also not required.

So for any future tournament game you start, please set it up here in the tournament forum. Lots of benefits, not really drawbacks. 🪖 ✈︎

Almost perfect dice!! 😉

Yeah I’m doing something tonight,

Go ahead and make it perfect and demoralize me!

You would see it plainly if we were playing face to face, so as a courtesy (and is in the game notes) :

There is 1 AA gun left in the box.

@dawgoneit At least you’re here!

For the slots those 2 are in, changing it to a bye doesn’t really cause a problem. What I would call a problem, is someone getting 2 or more byes in a row.

Who’s going to get tired of the complicated and long turns first, I wonder.

9 days? Good grief, sorry guys.

Tremendous stress in my immediate family right now, and was Easter weekend with family. I planned out some things with the move last week and then saw I’d better run it by @Booper , which we’ve done. Then the weekend hit,

Anyway I know I’m up and think I can get it in today or tomorrow.

Yep yep, thanks, major stress in immediate family right now, and it was packed Easter weekend

Looking forward to the moves!

@The_Good_Captain said in Classic Martin (X+8) vs Ragnell804 (L):

@Martin @gamerman01 @Ragnell804 @VictoryFirst

Ragnell managed to get an email out to me asking if he could have photos of the board state sent to him. He would like to play but does not have conventional email access. He will not be available for an indeterminate amount of time but does not want to quit the tournament.

Oh, sure, that will work
you found a way to play, so game on!

Be still, my beating heart!

Now the OOB 2nd round is set, and, that’s right,

#1 - #4 all advance
