That's why it's fun.

Shouldn't you give the more specific details before people decide if they're interested?

Some of them depend on the crowd we have. If more than seven are interested, for example, we could have more than one set of games. I'll just lay out what I was thinking though:

• 7 PPSC Classic games, one per country, run simultaneously, 10 point buy-in/game

If possible, I'd also like to add an extra 50 per participant to contribute to a final pot, totaling 350 , which will be split between first (200), second (100), and third (50) place finishers, based on final SC count. I don't know if or how that would be done, though.

I'd double check the rules section under tournaments where it requires mod approval. I'll even link it for you because I'm a nice guy:

Come up with a definite list of rules and whatnot and shoot us an email so we can sort out all the details before you start arranging anything.

That's why I haven't arranged anything......

Seven simultaneous games? That's a little much for me. But I would be interested if they started slightly staggered. A game year apart would work for me.

Actually, what's the phase length? You could do seven simultaneous games with, say, four days press.

It could stagger. I don't really mind either way. It also doesn't have to be seven games or tournament-style.

I would go for 2 day phases.

Bump.

I'm a PPSC guy so I'd be down for a game or two (not seven tho.... I'm a bit too busy)

I'd be happy to play 7 games, but 2 day phases is the absolute minimum for me (and I'd rather have 3).

I'm game. I prefer PPSC games. 2-3 day phases are fine either way.

Seems like we are inching toward 3 day phases. Rollerfiend, would it help to stagger the games, maybe by more than a game year (opening negotiations get tiring after so many times)?

Sounds interesting. Let me know if you need more. I've never played PPSC but after endless draws of the final three I'd be interested

Rollerfiend on the fence, I guess. Need one more.

I will ride with you guys.

Will the games be anon?
Seems like it may be an issue for metagaming agreements between participants if all the games happen simultaniously.

I don't think anyone is going to metagame. Hopefully we can trust each other there.

I'll send the mods something later and hopefully invites will go out in a few days. Feel free to sign up for a second game/series.

I guess my thinking was Anon would make more sense. Even if there isnt direct Metagaming...one game will effect the other.
For instance. We are playing in 3 games simultaniously. Bo-sox & dyager are working together in #1 & #3. He stabs me in #1. Think I will not be bitter about game #3?

Anon fixes that issue. It also has the added benefit of people not ganging up the the "SC point leader" as they wont know who that is.

All right, it can be anonymous. Apparently the SC points would establish this as a tournament rather than a series of games, so I didn't ask about that. We can keep track but there won't be any extra points given out, only pride and a chance to gloat on occasion. It might be worth tracking, though, just for kicks.

Assuming it's all approved, I'll create the games once the 1901 builds phase comes around, and hopefully we can begin by the time 1902 comes around.

Bump. Still waiting on official approval...

Invites sent. We can use this thread to track the SC count.

Bump. Sending out game 2 invites. We can pause the game when it begins and shuffle the countries.

It is wise that you set up all the games to start with only a one year stagger. Noone will want to play in successive games after the asskicking they are going to experience in Game 1. :-b

Bump. Sending out invites to game 3 now.

Are the game 3 countries assigned correctly?

I guess so

so I can sign up for a second game/series?
