Leagues Notice
Premier League, League C2, please open your third games.
League C3 please open a new third game for Argento to join.
League C1, I am getting replacements for you, please be patient.
D-level Leagues I am going to sort out next.

If the purpose of D level games is to promote to C level, wouldn't it make sense to promote someone from D to C now?
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)
09 Jun 09 UTC
That's roughly what I do.
Draugnar (0 DX)

Then you'd have a D-level to fill, and how would you base that C-Level promotion? On one or two incomplete games with no points distributed? You could end up promoting the person who would have been at the bottom of the ladder had they continued.
Draugnar (0 DX)

The promoted player can still get demoted if they flunk out in C-level, right TGM?
Xapi (194 D)
09 Jun 09 UTC
The promoted players play in both leagues at the same time, and keep the best result of both.
Xapi (194 D)
09 Jun 09 UTC
For instance, if the guy gets demoted in C, but finishes first in D, then he'll play in C (Because his position in D guarantees a C spot)
Centurian (3257 D)
09 Jun 09 UTC
The promoted player should not be handicapped by his late promotion. IE he has missed three games and loses his next two and thus has zero and thus goes back down to D (despite winning three straight there). But they should only be allowed to promote under the handicap (same person wins his last two games, he might just qualify on those games alone)
Centurian (3257 D)
09 Jun 09 UTC
Oh. interesting Xapi.
Xapi (194 D)
09 Jun 09 UTC
This, I believe, is because when you take a spot in a higher league you will, usually start with a disadvantage, having not played the first game(s), so it wouldn't be fair to leave that player without the possibility to earn a promotion in the bottom league.
Xapi (194 D)
09 Jun 09 UTC
So, if you got anything in the upper league, you're rewarded, but if you don't, then you can take your result from your original league as if nothing had happened.
Centurian (3257 D)
09 Jun 09 UTC
What happens if you bomb your remaining games in D (you can't be relegated from D) but get in on a couple draws in C and thus your C division would keep you there? I assume that means next season you are in C?
Xapi (194 D)
09 Jun 09 UTC
What would you gain from "bombing" your D games?

The answer would be: You keep the best result, so you remain in C.

Even if you were demoted in both, you'd still be in D.
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)
09 Jun 09 UTC
Yes
Centurian (3257 D)

Sometimes you do badly by accident. But thanks for the clarification guys.

TGM, any luck in finding a replacement for D1? Because the sooner we have one of those, the sooner we can talk to the mods about removing Taelisan from the games, and then we can actually move on with the tournament.

Techno
I've been out of the techno world for many years now and I have been itching to hear some of the latest good stuff. I don't know how the terms have changed from when I listened to it but generally I'm an ambiance and progressive trance lover. My favorite from back in the day was Aphex Twin and I had good times with DJ Tiesto's Sunrise series, preferably 2 towards the end of my techno culture.

"School of War" Game II
thought it best to start a new thread. please reply to confirm participation (if already named) and/or to show interest.

this is a WTA game with 40 hour phases and 5 point buy in; the goal of the game is to improve the skills of players, particularly newer ones, with in-game advice and commentary on the game from non-players.

Suggestion for Update
Why don't you allow the original make phase to be different from the length of the phases in the game? This would essentially allow a longer time for people joining shorter games.

Seems simple enough to code, and it would certainly come in useful for the "less desirable" mods, or high point games.

Quite hypocritically, I'm going to ask a question about rules
This is hypocritical because I normally suggest to people to download jDip to adjudicate moves, but it won't let me enter this as a valid order, because it isn't. That being said, this site will allow you to finalize like this, I've tested it.

What happens if you order two builds in the same spot? What if its two armies? An army and a fleet?

School of War II - Take Two
Well, it appears we lost the original School of War 2 thread. This is a pity, but we have to do what we can with what we have. Kestas, is it feasable to increase the number of active threads (ie: change the cutoff from 50 to 75)?

Blog for posterity: http://ghost-diplomacy.blogspot.com/
I reckon we would do best to just use this thread as a general discussion about the game, and particular comments of the commentators, and direct responses go on the blog. When the game ends we can post this on the blog too.
