Imagonnalose Mini-Tourney
Hello friends!

I have a little mini-tourney that I would like as many of you as wish to do so, play a series of 1v1 tactical diplomacy games that will allow me to find some good quality 1v1'ers to play against. I know there are a few of you who are quite active with these types of games, so I will present the following guidelines:

Each pairing will play a series of 4 games, 2 each of FvA and GvI, with each player having the opportunity of playing all. This is how I will determine the score for the game. Winning is not enough. If the loser plays a good game, he or she may get more points and therefore will proceed to the next round.

I will award points based on starting position, ending position, year to year playing, and overall tactics.

I'd like to see at least 8 people sign up. We will add a round for each additional set of 8 players. You will all be paired off, will play your sets, and the highest score for each will move on to the next round. The 2nd round is the same as the first. So, if we start with 8, 4 advance to the 2nd round, and 2 will advance to the champions round.

If we start with 16, 8 go to 2nd, 4 go to third, and 2 go to champions.

The champions will play a series of games against me. I will determine the Champion through those 4 games (a piece).

I'm being really judgmental and selfish with this concept, but I want to play some good players. So sign up below.

All right, I'll join. I won't be careless this time, I promise. I lost 2 games because of that, and I swear that's not going to happen again.

1. pyrhos
2. Neltharion
3. brettj72
4. ccga4
5. .....

We'll need at least 4 more to start, but this can easily be put into another group. If we get 16 players, i'll do random seeding.

Maybe ask Rancher or El Cremoso. They seem to be always ready to play a 1v1 game.

Hey look, just because you haven't played a lot of games or won a lot of games doesn't mean you are a low caliber player.

1. pyrhos
2. Neltharion
3. brettj72
4. ccga4
5. El Cremoso
6. Spartan22
7. vallk
8. .....

We need at least 1 more for this to work.

I sense a nightmare scenario on the horizon with players that won or lost in good/bad style believing that they should have gotten more points than they did. Will someone please pass the popcorn?
Imagonnalose (992 D)
05 Dec 13 UTC
Well seeings as how this is for me to find some more good quality players, I can grade people however I want.

I will of course be fair and may even write a very small reasoning report as to why they got their score.

I'm not sure how you intend to pick the matches, but presumably we can get the first 4 going, right? If we get enough to do more they can start once they've signed up. I'm just keen to get things rolling before Christmas gets too close!

I actually won't be able to participate after December 13th, if that's a problem.

1. pyrhos
2. Battalion
3. brettj72
4. ccga4
5. El Cremoso
6. Spartan22
7. vallk
8. GOD

Neltharion, I'll put you on the back up list for another set if you wish. These games will likely take longer than that.

I'm using a random pairing because I do not believe that points or previous wins/losses will affect these games. So, the pairings are as follows:

1. pyrhos vs 4. ccga4
2. Battalion vs 6. Spartan22
3. brettj72 vs 8. GOD
5. El Cremoso vs 7. vallk

You guys decide how long you want the phases. Paste links to finished games on here. Remember, 4 games a piece, two each of FvA and IvG, and each player plays each country once.

GO!

How will this work? Will Imagonnalose rate each individual game one-by-one, or at the end of all four games?

Good question, i'm not really sure.

Ill rate them all, but probably not till they are all conpleted
Battalion (2386 D)
08 Dec 13 UTC
I appreciate that you will probably have other more pressing things to worry about, but surely knowing the running score will make each subsequent game more interesting. For example, if you know that you are losing going into the last game, it would encourage you to play with a lot more flair. If you don't know, you're more likely to play it safe.

If I may suggest a compromise, perhaps you could rate them after each set of two games?
ccga4 (1609 D)

second game finished with win for ccga4 (austria) over pyrhos (france)

ccga4 leads 2-0 in the series.

(then again who knows depending on imagonnalose's ratings

Westeros (Game of Thrones world) Variant
So a while back I made a Westeros variant on paper to play with some friends of mine and it worked pretty well. I was wondering if anyone on here who knows how to code would be able to help me get it up on the site and/or if it is easy to learn how to do.

New Variant Idea
Ok, so I have what I think is a pretty good idea for a variant, but I know no coding whatsoever. Is it relatively easy, just a bit of reading an research, or should I partner up with someone who does? If so, would drawing my map out on Photoshop help?
