[CC9] R4: TOFU (25) vs FOED (30) - FOED Wins - Final 9/28/19

[Fyrdraca]

Yeah that’s been brutal. You’ve had to cover a to.

[Fyrdraca]

Just did a count up of the score including leans: I’ve got it at 23-23 with 9 undecided. I imagine most would come up with a similar score maybe +/- 1 in either direction.

Looks like it could come down to the wire!

If you can predict escalating games that you aren't in you are better at prognosticating than I am. If they seem close I just call them even. I feel pretty good about a handful or so of the games I'm active in...less good about some and pretty pessimistic about a couple.

The only escalating game I gave us as a strong lean was Rail euro quads. The other 5 were Hive, both Gallipolis, Span Arm dubs, and Pearl Harbor.

[rockfist]

Seems fair.

[MTIceman41]

Feels like a 28-27...Salem the one?

[rockfist]

Salem won’t be the one.

[Fyrdraca]

Definitely not Salem’s. At least I hope not. Ugh to that map.

In all likelihood, FNA quads probably ends up being the map that could take the longest to figure out a winner. Both teams deploying about the same right now and it has the makings to last a while. A bunch of escalating games will wrap up within the next week or so and that will give more insight as to the outcome.

Spanish Armada dubs is no longer a strong lean to you. Even to a slight lean for us.

Yes I had not got a chance to post that here.

Final score gonna be very close I think. Would be surprised if it doesn’t end up 29-26 or 28-27 to the victor. Been a fun war, lots of good games. And pretty solid luck (or lack thereof) to both sides in the games I’ve been in.

Our games together have certainly been (mostly) dice dominant both ways. We ran over you in District of Alaska and Pot Mosbi. You ran over us in New Zealand, Fractured China and Hive. Only our game on First Nations seems balanced.

We can agree to disagree about Hive, but the point is well-taken. I should have said in my games there have been an equal amount of really lopsided games that were over fairly early on.

The only game (of mine) that was true card luck was FNNA trips, that one was frustrating.

Y’all had first turn and nice control of utilities in Mosbi, but we were set to still have a good shot to make some noise. But you stifled that with good strategy and a few nice rolls.

FNA quads has definitely been the most intriguing game I’ve been in. Could very well end up deciding the war.

[Fyrdraca]

Not much action in this thread so don’t know how many are reading it, but here’s what I think to be a fair estimate of the current score:

24 (FOED) - 24 (TOFU)

Counting as concluded wins for FOED: Gallipoli trips, Rail Euro, Pearl Harbor, New Zealand

Counting as concluded wins for TOFU: Span Arm dubs, FNA trips, CR dubs, Rail Africa, Denmark

Not counted but strong leans:

FOED - Salem’s, Rail SA
TOFU: not sure any strong leans not counted above

Leaves 5 undecided games: Labyrinth, FNA quads, CR quads, NW Pass, Chinese Checkers

CR quads appears to be a FOED lean, NW pass appears to be a TOFU lean

Labyrinth appears to lean FOED, but way too much can happen with those settings

FNA and Checkers seem to be very close to even, with Checkers likely being decided in the next round as cashes will come into play

Thoughts?

[Donelladan]

Thanks
was about to ask an estimate !
Watching this closely.

[rockfist]

It will be decided soon although it may not be known by all when it is.

[uckuki]

go foed

Don't worry, loutil just loves to use dice as his excuse for every lost game, it's his very shiny crutch.

But win or lose, this has been a bleedin deadly war and I'd just like to thank all of our opponents in all games. TOFU is a tough not to crack!
I wish you all the very best and will be really, really, really; really, really, really; REALLY happy if (when) FOED wins out in the end...

[MTIceman41]

29-30 for foed it looks like; seems like it’s a classic.

[Conchobar]

It's definitely one for The Archives. We would be very honoured and proud...
But the Halls of Fame will only be filled when Don makes steak tartare out of us in The Final...

[rockfist]

I could say a lot of things here but it’s best if I just say good war FOED deserves the win and sign off.

[joecoolfrog]

Good fight everybody , ribbit !

[uckuki]

good war

[betiko]

Oh wow foed won ? Congrats guys
I guess our semi is running quite late

[groovysmurf]

Great war all!

[Keefie]

Awesome result.

Well done to all in FOED

Is this the year that a Conquerors Cup Final is played without either TOFU or S&M ?
