Seeing that we already have enough players for a game, can we start earlier than the 15th?

It looks like we are approaching enough players for 2 games, so let's try to hit that goal first if we can.

[Doug7878]

Are we agreed.on:
36 hour phases
Hidden draw votes
1 Excused missed rurn
SOS.? Me

[Doug7878]

... you know what I meant. Can UnknownHero send out invites ?

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

@Unknown Hero

You may have missed my earlier message but I have a comically large Criminal Law test coming up so I’m probably going to drop out.

[Doug7878]

Looking for a few good Gunboaters still...

I’m more interested in:
24-36 hour phases
All votes hidden
1 excused missed turn
Anonymous players
Winner-take-all

[Doug7878]

@V+

It's winner-take-all in the event of a solo, under both scoring systems.

SoS is the closest scoring method webDip has to reward the board-top in the event of a draw, so it seemed the best choice.

Fair take, Doug. I guess the way I see it, the most diffiuclt result to earn is a win, and the second is grabbing a place in a draw with just one unit while everyone else would rather wipe you out. I prefer to play for the win and fall back to the smallest possible draw, especially when time is not a factor. Hence, DSS (previously known as WTA) over SoS to reward outcomes accordingly.

I would also support DSS over SOS, personally.

Also correcting a spot on the list for a player that put GR and not GR Rank:

I will send out the invites for the game I am in once we are ready to start. I'll need volunteer from the other table as well.

Here is the current list of players:

We are looking to add 4 more players so that we can have two games.

Based on the discussion so far, how are these game settings for everyone:

36h phases
Hidden draw votes (I'm not aware of a way to hide other votes, let's just not abuse them)
Anonymous players
1 excused missed turn
DSS scoring (seems to be the current frontrunner)
Bet size: 5

The two games (if we manage to get there) can have different settings if the players agree to change them.

@JustAGuyNamedWill good luck on the exam!

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

@Unknown Hero

Thanks! Good luck in the Gunboat game!

[Doug7878]

Gunboaters needed. Games starting soon.

[Doug7878]

Any top 300 gunboaters up for a game? Join this one.

[Doug7878]

We need 4 players to fill out 2 Gunboat games. The top 7 will play Game 1, and the bottom 7 will play Game 2. Join in. It will be good fun.

UnknownHero will send out the invites for the game 1 once we are ready to start. He'll need volunteer from the second table as well.
