2018 Gunboat Tournament

[Ezio]

nah

We all know he's only TDing for +1s

I love +1s as much as the next slimy admin, but that would so not be worth it.

Yea I tried this. I don't think it's working out efficiently.

BONUS RULE: if a player enters Trieste from Venice in '01, he will be banned from the tournament and from the site.

Thanks, ghug.

So entering Trieste from Tyrolia in 1901 is allowed? Awesome. I look forward to playing mun-tyr-tri.

[Nikola Maric Eto]

That is "OK". But no Venice - Trieste, wiggin pleease.

Registered (third option)... I hope to prove my valour in this tournament

By the way, ok for F VEN-TRI ban for the tournament but is A VEN-TRI by Italy also banned?

I'm guessing this is a joke but idk? As italy, key lepanto opening seems workable enough (punishing an Austria who gets aggressive with his fleet but still making it clear you can potentially work with him), what's wrong with that?

[Ezio]

Good luck convincing Austria you're going to Key Lepanto in Gunboat.

[ghug]

I imagine Austria won't have much choice in the matter.

No moves are actually banned, but I may post a list of everyone who hedgehogged at the end for public shaming.

[Ruisdael]

Any chance we can get a World gunboard tourney going too?

I'm a new player asks I a few questions.
What is a reliability rating and what is a NMR?

[Nikola Maric Eto]

Reliability rating shows how many moves a player skipped during games.
NMR is 1 skipped move.

[dargorygel]

Reliability rating shows how many moves a player skipped during games.
NMR is 1 skipped move.

I thought "reliability rating" refers to how NICE someone is. How likely to look after your dog and remember to feed it, how likely to follow through on paying back that $25 for espresso last thursday, or how likely to vote consistently in upcoming elections...

OR Nikola is correct.
(Which maybe should raise HIS reliability rating?)

We've reached 100 signups. This is well on track to being webDip's biggest tournament ever.

[peterwiggin]

What was the previous largest?

[ghug]

The first 1v1 showdown by number of people. Constricted to real diplomacy, it's probably the Century League running now (though I don't know if I'd call that real diplomacy).
