    • RE: League General Discussion Thread

      Guys, I’m thinking about resigning as league moderator and scoreboard operator. I don’t want to leave you in the middle of a year so intend to finish this year out and set up playoffs and everything, but maybe somebody should come alongside me and learn some of the ropes, or maybe you guys have an idea of another direction to take all this.

      Contributing to this decision is that I did have my first manic and depressive episodes this year since 2005 (still pretty depressed - trying to get the right meds) but I wanted to get out anyway, since I haven’t found the time to play any league games myself.

      I intend to help make a smooth transition if someone else is eager to moderate and score games (maybe a team) - I’d been doing everything with no partner for years now (Although having a partner can mean more work if they have differing ideas than you)

      Please think about it - sorry - I guess this day had to come sooner or later. Thanks for understanding

      Gamer

      As for default game, I think it has to be the version that’s available to the world outside this site (out of the box version, basically) - we have very few players who refuse to play “balanced mod”, although of course it does happen, and I think it’s the way it should be… Makes more sense to force someone to play the “public” version than to force someone to play a mod, even if 95% of players only play that mod on this forum. It’s not welcoming to potential newcomers if they have to learn a different version of the game than they’ve been playing.

      Mainah, at first that sounds very exciting and fun, but thinking about it a bit, there’s a big problem with that. If there’s money on games, there’s an incentive for people to try and help a player in the tournament to make better decisions, and also an incentive to try and sabotage a player (maybe by giving suggestions to make poor decisions disguised as clever ones).

      Would mess with the integrity of the games, so as league moderator I’d have to say no.

      First overall rankings of 2021 completed - I hope without error! Let me know if you think something’s wrong with your line in the standings.

      Colt45554 is the first to complete 3 games across all versions, so is ranked #1 overall! He played 2 games of balanced mod and 1 game OOB, and is 2-1 overall. 1-1 in BM and 1-0 in OOB. This is how it works this year. The overall ranking will have no bearing on any playoffs at year end - those are all decided by the standings sheet for that version alone. The overall ranking is used to track whether you are eligible to play more games against another player (best of 3, best of 5, best of 7 etc. rules) and basically for fun! It is therefore entirely possible to have a different tier for each version, and also a different tier overall.

      I’ve also entered an automatically calculating total by version so you can see how many games of each have been played.

      Right now it’s:
      OOB - 2 games
      P2V - 5 games
      BM - 11 games

      Interesting, no? It’s only Jan. 18 - let’s see how this unfolds!

      I am really excited to announce the playoffs may begin this weekend - starting NOW! Check out the new spreadsheet - at the far left of the rankings spreadsheet, for your opponent(s).

      As usual, the matchups look VERY intriguing almost without exception, and I think you guys are going to have a lot of fun and enjoyment. Be nice and polite in your games but don’t give in when you’re right, and we should have minimal conflicts. Other than the massive WWII conflict being re-enacted over and over again, of course.

      If you have any questions or have a problem with where you show up in the bracket, I will be happy to let you drop out, or tell you how I’m right or how you’re wrong. LOL

      Seriously, these brackets look great.
      BM3 champion will be the “main” league champion because it is the most played. All other champions (and runner up league champion) will be listed in the archives forever.

      Game on, and may the dice not decide your games. (Of course they will decide some :p)

      AeV just told me about this version - I gave it a once over and it looks fantastic, guys, brilliant, great work! Right amount of changes, substantive changes without being too fine-tuned or too complex. Nice looking skin, too.

      A lot better today, so glad to be back to work. My massage therapist is awesome, and I did a good job of resting, hehe. I do financial audits for small towns, and this one’s new to me and wasn’t audited last year, so it’s a challenge. All that tense thinking and sitting in a chair.

      I have to meet a 3/31 deadline and my back suddenly went out Saturday. Lots of pain, and I have this big job to finish up. I work alone, so no one else can do it. I should be fine, but don’t know when I will move next, sorry

      Yeah, like if I had forgot to put the ANZ cruiser out there. Obvious intent, but immediate game ending 🙂

      You placed 2 ships at FIC where the 2 infantry might have gone, and could have placed the destroyer/transport at 6 instead of 2 infantry in Japan.

      But

      You rarely ask for edits and graciously told me I could just edit it if I want. I like to get a little leniency too. The dice didn’t have much to do with it, either. And because you move so fast, I definitely allow it.
