2nd call for playoff signups (see below)
2022 ends Saturday night!
-
When I try and do a Test Post when starting a new game, I’m getting a Java error. Ideas anyone? Thanks.
-
It is unsolvable
Just post a save eg. The autosave.
You can copy and paste the history of the turn -
@simon33 I haven’t started the game yet. I’m trying to do the initial test post when setting it up.
-
You don’t need to do that
-
@simon33 Even just hitting ‘Play’ with the info in it gives me a Java error…
-
when using Play by Forum of course

It shouldn’t. Something is confused here.
-
Try play by email. I’m unable to play by forum but can by email. And you can still save and upload the save game

@farmboy thanks.

On all of the league games, do we get 3 games per version to start?
-
For anyone who is interested, league games played per year are:
2013 - 581
2014 - 520
2015 - 462
2016 - 648
2017 - 404
2018 - 451
2019 - 367
2020 - 365
2021 - 339
2022 - 218+Seems like when Balanced Mod came out in 2016 there was a big rush. I can’t really explain why the games played dropped off so much this year. Some big players have left the league, had enough of A&A?
I personally got a bit grumpy about the Paris liberation disincentive, and worse (IMO) the incentive to leave Normandy French. Although I am not sure if others got so irritated by this other than Gargantua.

I did some rough work and using some regular expressions, a torch and two squirrels I churned this out https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eGoPApelFeR90te572XhDGt2Gd9BftgKD5m8z-f3TEw/edit?usp=sharing.
At a glance it looks like there were around 75 games lost from players who played last year but not this year, and for those of us playing this year we are down about 50 games from last year.

I think that grumpy is a good default mode to be in.

Game length definitely a factor. 20 rounds for BM3 is pretty standard. Also level play has gone up. Casual fast and loose won’t cut it anymore.

I’d be happy to answer your question but I don’t understand the question.

Obviously every year that goes by and we’re playing the same version year after year, the interest wanes.
And as Karl said, G40 games take a lot of time and commitment. Compared to earlier versions of global A&A, well, there is no comparison as most of you know.G40 was such a leap forward for A&A in so many ways, it’s no wonder at all there was huge interest for the first few years, and a great observation by Simon that Balanced Mod was a big improvement that breathed new life and stoked a lot of interest, but it loses its new car smell too, like anything.
Someone, design a new global version of A&A that raises our heart rate again!
I have played A&A&Zombies and it is a hoot, a perfect “beer and pretzels game” as players used to say. But most of us probably wouldn’t play it very many times.
FABULOUS entry level A&A game, and also VERY interesting for veterans. -

i mean that we can play a person 3 time until you play so many games that count in the league. then we can play 5 and so on.
-
@dawgoneit does this count for all versions at the same time or can we play 3 games per version
-
@dawgoneit said in League General Discussion Thread:

All at the same time.
Example:
If you have a combined total of 12 games done
(say, 9 games BM, 2 games PTV and 1 game OOB)
and your opponent has a combined total of 16 games done, then you are both 10+ games total and can play to 3 wins (best of 5 games) together between the two of you.
This is also across all versions, so you shouldn’t do best of 5 in each version, but best of 5 over all. This is why I use the color code in the combined rankings but no where else.The idea is to make every player spread themselves around to different opponents, or in other words, keep two or three players from just playing all their league games against each other. This rule also helps making everyone’s rankings more accurate because of the variety of opponents.
As I’ve posted earlier in the year, I am probably going to relax the numbers for 2023 because there are less players and games. Like every 6 games instead of every 10 or something like that, otherwise everybody would have to play everybody.

@gamerman01 thank you.
