Hard Eight

I know this is an attempt to improve the site, which is always welcome, but I have to say it continues to be a frustration, especially for us trying to run tournaments. Is there a chance we can go back to the way things were until a fully functional new plan can be worked out?

Ok. Thanks. I'll play.

Is this basic brackets, 4 rounds?

Thanks all for joining. OP is updated with players in and 3 reserves (decided based on maprank on chosen map and time of signup). You'll be getting your first invites shortly.

I think this is a great idea. When I first got my premium a few months ago, clans were the most exciting thing about this site and also the hardest to learn about as a relative newcomer. Everyone seemed to talk about top 10 clans, but it was hard to figure out who they were and what that meant ...

Welcome to the Choose Your Map: Experts' Showdown Tournament, where we'll see who knows their favorite map better than anyone else. Here's how it works:

Requirements:

Rank: No requirement
Pay: Premium ...

All in above here (Auger, you were already on the list from before). Almost there!

That's a pretty interesting thought. The only way I see this working is if only one player in the game is stacking. Then the others could see this and put a stop to it by containing the stacks. The only issue is that, with good placement, a certain stack could reach 6 or more territories, depending ...

I have grown impatient and thrown everyone into this tournament who was interested. The only two reserves I'm holding are two very good players with lower ranks, out of respect for higher rank's point consideration.

All in or reserved about here. Thanks for joining!

I would agree there. I'm sure this isn't true for all situations, but I think I've found that the "fine, I'll get my own bonus" strategy fails 4/5 times. My strongest evidence is when I have a bonus, I'm much more worried that they'll break mine than I am of them getting their own.

The numbers make ...

If anyone is interested in playing some 1v1 Das Schloss, please PM or invite me. This is not a trap! I am new to the map and TERRIBLE at it, I just am reluctant to host public games and lose 40 points a game to some lucky corporals.

Thanks!

All above here are in or in reserves (due to lower MapRank). I'm going to give this another day or two, but I may end up just adding everyone into the main player pool so we don't have to wait forever to get this started.

Thanks to everyone who has joined!

Pickle, I appreciate the crap out of your enthusiasm. You do have a net NEGATIVE 833 points on the classic map though. Will you be offended if I put you in the reserves and see if there's space in a couple days?

Welcome to the Classic Escalating: Elite Tournament, where the best of the best of the best Classic escalating player will be determined. Here's how it works:

Thank you JBlombier! I edited my original post to include a request for settings as well.

Thanks Arama! I figure this could be a nice way to:

a) For high ranks to learn new maps without risking 400 points;
b) A good way to meet doubles partners;
c) Give low ranks an incentive to really learn a map well and trade their knowledge for more knowledge.

We'll see how it goes...

Wouldn't it be great to be able to share unique knowledge of a map in exchange for someone else's unique knowledge of a different map?

I think it's worth a try. Below, post:

1) MAP(s) YOU KNOW REALLY WELL [put favorite settings in brackets]
2) MAP(s) YOU REALLY WANT TO LEARN

If you line up with ...

Here's my brief attempt to explain why it seems like the dice are stacked against us:

There's a 1.1% chance of losing 12v3, but it seems to happen about once a week, right? This makes sense because we're all making hundreds of similar attacks per week. We're bound to have a big loss like that ...

I know this is an old, old thread, but I'm wondering if you're still looking for any additions. I won't go on and on here, but please do send me a PM if there are any openings. I learn quickly, work hard, take all my turns and play well with others. Thanks!
