Thanks for getting it going again


Now that marijuana is legal in Michigan, I fire up a big ass bowl of pot, choke on the hit, pass out, and then just figure it will run itself... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Actually, I look for my last post and then go from there.

and you're welcome!

Still in progress:
[game]18691733[/game]

I think this means I move up to number one. I am sure there will be a challenger soon, if not immediately. We probably need to finish the last game? Or not?

bobbythomson wrote:I re-read the rules - I should not have posted these results because the third game is ongoing. Will post again when that is finished.

Question - once a challenge is accepted, am I correct that each player sets up one game with that player's choice of settings, approved in the rules. And the challenged player sets up the tie-breaker. All three games are to be set up at the same time, not to wait until it is necessary to break at tie.

I have heard from one player on the ladder that only two games need be set up UNLESS it is a tie, then the third gets set up. That is not how I read the rule nor how I have seen it handled by most.


Ok...recorded the win and moved you up the Ladder. If you have won two games before the third one is completed, you can still post the victory.
We used to have players report a win when the match was 1 - 1, saying they had the third game in the bag...and then they wound up losing that third game. That's why we re-wrote that rule.

The Challenger creates the third game at the same time he/she creates the Home game.

I've got DIBS so I'll be posting my challenge soon...

bobbythomson wrote:Steve is definitely right about who sets up the third game - the challenger. Seems the consensus is that is done right away upon the challenge, not waiting until the other two are decided.

18. The #2, #3, #4, #5, or #6 player may call “DIBS” to challenge the #1 player if the #1 player is currently being challenged by someone in the Top 6. If the player calling “DIBS” falls out of the Top 6, he/she also loses their “DIBS” to play the #1 player. There will only be one “DIBS” at a time.


I am a lawyer so have to keep asking questions. Don't hold that against me (too much).

Right now russde is number 1. Chuck called "dibs". Interestingly, Chuck just beat me to knock me out of 2nd. But I have won 2 of the three games so I will be #1 once we finish the third game. The dibs must apply to me, right?

And since Chuck won the battle for #2, he can play me two challenges in a row once I take over first place, right?


Dang lawyers...I should be a Judge or something...Yes, since I have DIBS, I am next to challenge for the #1 position no matter who won that match.

torres failed to accept his invites. I've reinvited him to the Poly game, but during the night someone else joined the 1v1 game. I'll wait until he accepts the Poly game before creating another one so that doesn't happen again.


I saw Torres' post afterwards, so it looks like all if good.

This is recorded as a forfeit. If a player cannot accept the challenge, it is recommended they request to be put in a Hiatus status.

It is official - I won all three games in my match against russde:

[game]18690718[/game]
[game]18690719[/game]
[game]18691733[/game]

Now a rematch with celliottii, though last time we were struggling over 2nd place. Now it will be first.

Something is wrong with the ladder as I am 1st and 4th on the current version.

And I see russde claimed dibs, but I think he has to play another opponent before he can play me again, if I am reading the rules correctly.

Chuck won his game and I won mine, giving me the victory and putting me in the #6 spot. Which puts me 3 below Chuck again. Since we've both moved, does that silly no challenging twice in a row rule apply? Fine! I'll challenge Bobby then with [game]18708860[/game] and [game]8708863[/game]. Walled.

Steve, I think that rule only applies to a loser of a match. You can't turn right around and challenge again.

I beat russde, and he has tried to put dibs on me but I think he has to play someone else before he can challenge me. Chuck beat me, so he can challenge me after I moved up - he had dibs in place when I won.

That match is going on now, though, so I can't play you at the same time. I look forward to when we do match up.The ladder is a little fouled up as it shows me twice - once in the 1 spot and the other time in 4.

Yep...something was wrong....I made a simple mistake and added BT twice after his win...Turns out it was Species 8472 and it has been removed.

Oops...I got into Steve's stash. I've got the win recorded, but the challenge cannot be allowed because of my typo with moving players last night from previous matches.

Ladder has been corrected...Russde did not have DIBS....that was my original DIBS for the #1 match. Thank goodness Google Docs keep previous versions saved...LOL
