11L '41 Gamerman01(x) v JWW(12) no tech, 14 VC's, Game 1

[666]

vacationing w/family on cape cod. sun & fun w/plenty of beers. Sorry China moves weren’t combined with usa….Think it’s still “legal”, almost forgot!  :-D :roll:

perhaps too much sun for me today.

Look forward to wrapping this up and playing vs. you in tourney. Do you think you’ll pull it off?

[gamerman01]

@JWW:

How is your tourney game going? I think I have mine about finished. Will we meet?

It’s going slow, because DD often takes several days to move, usually.
I don’t see any way I can lose.  I have had a deathgrip on that game for several rounds, now, and I have to make sure I guard against desperation attacks (only losing Japan to a 1 or 2% desperation attack this turn could make me lose)  Even if DD were to read this, I know he won’t try it.
If you are going to win yours, then yes we will be meeting.  :-)

Yeah it’s no issue this turn

I would like to get to the end of this game, too.  I think I already explained, that I will quit when I don’t think I have a chance.  It would bug me later if I quit a game that I thought I could win, so I don’t quit prematurely.

Sounds like you’re living it up!

My family and extended family vacation this time every year in Wellfleet Cape Cod, so yeah, I guess we are “living it up”! I still try to get in a few turns if I can although my “AXIS” time is a bit limited, and generally late after lots of sun and a few cold ones!

Hey, I would be interested in your thoughts on improvements to our league format for next season. Tell me what you think, in a pm please, what works, what doesn’t, what could make the league better etc…. I’d appreciate it.

Oh, wow!  I am really glad you asked!  I will definitely send you a PM sometime before too long.  I think you will like some of my ideas, and there will be some I haven’t even thought of yet (as of now) because I just accepted that I couldn’t change it!  :-)  :-)

[666]

where ya at dude?

[gamerman01]

Sorry - took a week off.  Will post soon.

[666]

hey Gamerman, as much as I don’t want to do this, I will need to call this game. Since July 30th (I think) you have made only one move. The rules state you have 7 days and you have exceeded that more than once despite a few bumps etc….from me. While posting in other games I might add.

Fine.  But know that you are the first to ever do that, and I think it has something to do with you being a moderator or organizer of the tournament.  Everyone else feels uncomfortable pressing their opponent to move.  I had one go longer than a year, and it looked bad for me but I pulled it out.

I was not trying to stall, but that’s pretty much the way it turned out, didn’t it.
The other games were much easier and quicker moves, so yes I did slip them in once when I was trying to catch up.  I was way behind on those too.
Guess I had too many games going, when I had too many other fun things competing for my gaming time.  Whatever, take your win.  I’m not going to fight it.  I did play way too slow in this game - sorry about that.
The knock-down drag out I have going with DD makes me a lot less eager to log in, too.

I meant “league”, not tournament

I’d prefer to finish this the “right” way. Can you commit to making this your second priority behind the Tourney game? Maybe a move every two-three days at least? Let me know.

[666]

Didn’t notice you posted in the League results. If you want to finish this let me know. I enjoyed the game, looking forward to playing you in the future.

Yes.  After slowing down a lot for the last couple of weeks, I’m raring to go.  The little chits for tanks and men and planes and everything are just so cool!

You’re a moderator so you have the power to delete the results thread post, right?  There are still good times left in this one!  I can make it #2.  I’ll be moving very shortly then.

[666]

great

deleted your post in the result thread.
