It doesn't matter who starts in the rm, though. I started the game and FaD had the last turn knocking me off, so we've had an equal amount of turns.

Good, good! :)
I sent those people a pm to get things started, but my fingers are itching to replace at least one of them with Flori (since he seemed more eager!)

I mentioned you, cause we have to play our games and I had IRC on in AG for a long time while you never messaged me

I did, sir :)

Cueshark has informed me 3 people have signed in addition to the 12 that already did, so yay for that :D

A showcase without Madden would be incomplete! get to it :)

The olympics (and generally, christmas holidays, really) were the reason I had not yet set a deadline :)
However, the olympics are not a 24/7 deal (in practice, that is; nobody likes every scheme) so I would still urge people to try to arrange their games :)

LGTT games don't last too long, do they?

Beer! Get active!

Worst. Shot. Ever.

Nonetheless, I think this idea could work well within TUS considering the amount of games per season here!

I suggest using the PM function of the site now, though, considering activity hasn't helped out so far :)

Hi, we stumbled upon a problem in our game, chakk, I'm hoping you can help out.

FaD won the first game, no problem with that one.

Now the second game (I attached the replay): Here's a breakdown (you can check for yourself, of course)

  • I started the game
  • First notable point: 9:30 - I accidentally block the pathway. FaD asked me to skip turn (rightly so!) and so I unblocked the path and skipped turn.
  • Second notable point: 14:20 and onwards - FaD accidentally knocks me off the block. This is where the problem kicks in and I'll need your judgment! I assumed that since he knocked me off, I was allowed to teleport back up, so I did.
  • Third notable point: 16:30 - This is where I consider play to resume with switched turns; i.e. After my teleport, I consider we've had an equal amount of turns to get where we were. FaD races on and finishes in 2 turns, I finish in one.

So here are my arguments (I urge FaD to do the same)

  • I teleported because my worm was knocked down. If I had screwed up the bungee, I would of course have finished the race the normal way.
  • FaD clearly thought my teleport was unfair considering his reaction to it. However, it was not a problem for him that I skipped a turn earlier on when I was blocking him
  • If my teleport was legal, then it also should not have cost me a turn. This would mean that play should resume with FaD's worm below the last jump and mine on top, while it's my turn.
  • FaD continued to move his worm despite me clearly not moving while trying to resolve the issue and it was in fact *his* turn when play resumed (hence switched turn in the notable points list)

FaD's opinion is that this game is void, yet mine is that this game is a win for me.
Sorry for all the trouble, chakkman, but I'd rather have this problem resolved before continuing my match with FaD.

Needless to day I will adhere to any decision you make, but I hope a simple motivation will go with your decision :)

Alright, we've got 12 people so far, but since we can't wait forever, we're going to set a deadline!
Thanks to all the people that sent in replays :)

The deadline is set for March 1st 2010, so if you want in and you haven't sent anything yet, get to it! :)
#5184
As far as I know, you're the first to think you can just skip a checkpoint (cause that's what it is, really)
#5185
FaD, please check your PM inbox more often or have a snoop on n AG :o
I have night shifts for the remained of this week, which means I have to go to work at around 10PM

edit: I actually found him, but just after messaging him, he left the channel without saying a word :o
Please get in touch with me, FaD
#5186
I wouldn't mind :) Plenty of those at the moment though :o people need to get their games played (me amongst those!)
Time to activate the PM machine
#5187
Let's make it bo3 since the games are much shorter than in usual schemes :)

Thanks for pointing out this little omission!
#5188
16 players now with dibz! Sounds like a good time to start to me :)
#5189
What's the deadline for this round?

I've got evening shifts coming up this weekend and night shifts next week, so we'll definitely have to set a day and time for our games, FaD

12 people so far though, Ray :) that's not too bad, is it?

Glad you like it, beer! I started doing low gravity RR after the people I usually play with kept picking the same map and I didn't feel like racing it in a normal way anymore :)
volrin approved of it as well! He even said it takes more control to master lg rr than it does normal rr

If Dibz still plays W:A he should definitely enter the cup. He was as fast with lg rr as he was with normal RR :o
