Top 100 Round Robin Gunboat Series

[Carl Tuckerson]

"We will play seven gunboat games on the Classic map, one with each country."

Sorry for taking over your post Carl, but how are you gonna enforce that?
Will mods give a help or is there any tool to acomplish it?

Mods have the power to assign countries to people for tournaments. Magnetic already volunteered to cover us, and I think Claesar is going to cover the 2nd flight (assuming he isn't playing in it too lol).

Hi Carl,

I'd be up for a place in Flight B, sounds like fun! With seven games simultaneously, 36h phases should work out fine. Thanks for the initiative.

[rdrivera2005]

If the phases are 36h I can play 7 simultaneously.

[Carl Tuckerson]

I'll create the first flight of games tomorrow and send out links and passwords.

Per our discussion, the settings will be:
- 36 hours per phase
- 20 point bet
- All seven games running simultaneously

If there are any objections to this that I have not heard yet, let's hear them.


In the meantime, we are looking for 2-3 more players for the second flight.
Balki, it appears your GR is #158. Since I'm not playing, I'll leave it up to the other players signed up.
If the other players have no objections then you're in and I will need two more players. If they do, I'll need three.

Please post links when the first flight starts up (unless it auto-populates in the tournaments dropdown). Should be fun to watch!

[Carl Tuckerson]

Don't know if it will show up under the Tournaments bar, but I will post links regardless.

Flight A is almost underway!

I don't have objection.

Hey all - I got the same country twice. I think this means others did as well.

Please don't discuss ongoing Guboats in the forum. Magnetic24 will handle the country shuffling.

Done.

Lol, technically right.

But yes, Magnetic is going to reshuffle in the next few hrs and then we'll be on our way.

Good luck y'all!

[Carl Tuckerson]

Last post on this set for now... we are officially underway with Flight A! Good luck to the competitors and I hope the spectators enjoy.

A big thank you to Magnetic24 for helping us with setup and offering his services for other needs throughout the series. Thank you Magnetic!

As for Flight B, I have heard no objections, so I'm going to expand the eligibility criteria. Flight B will permit participants within the top 200 of GR. We need two more people to get Flight B going!

A note to Flight A participants: You are welcome to participate in Flight B as well, just be mindful of the fact that you'll likely be playing 14 games at once. Make sure you can handle that! (I can't so I won't try lol.)

Flight B:
1. Magnetic24
2. Balki
3. 90kicvesb
4. et
5. dipperjay
6.
7.

[Claesar]

Like I said, I can join.

[Carl Tuckerson]

Claesar you madlad.

One more to go in Flight B! Top 200 GR and a reasonable RR is all you need.

1. Magnetic24
2. Balki

5. dipperjay
6. Claesar

Bring on the pain.

BEFORE WE BEGIN...

We need a willing mod to reallocate. I'll look into it.

How about that?

[Magnetic24]

Basically, what I would do is the games would be made and I would ask a moderator from there. Two moderators have volunteered if they are available when the time arises.

Regarding the start date, would it be possible to begin on Thursday or Friday? I have an extremely busy week moving forward, and things will only really subside then.

[Carl Tuckerson]

I don't see why not, Magnetic. I leave that up to those in Flight B, but we do need a moderator to make the reassignments regardless.

New England Fire Squad has volunteered to yield his spot in Flight B to Stressedlines. I believe this locks up our roster for Flight B:

1. Magnetic24
2. Balki Bartokomous
3. 90kicvesb
4. et
5. dipperjay
6. Claesar
7. Stressedlines

I don't think there's enough interest for a Flight C right now... but feel free to prove me wrong and post!
