Not sure who that was directed at but I did not ask anyone to'stfu'

It isn't my place to say, but with the anonymous nature of the games, if it were my tournament I would have no problem with EOGs at the end of the games. While they are running, the usual and customary rules of gunboat would apply.

But this is Lando's baby so I will not comment on my games until they have all ended.

I was just using the STFU remark from a previous post. Just referencing the gag order.

I don't care about what rules were agreed upon. I said people should STFU because Lando wants it and, yes, this is his baby (and I happen to agree with him on the points he makes). Feel free to look at finished games on your own and privately use the results to your advantage if you can, but the results shouldn't be advertised and thoroughly discussed in the middle of the round.

Tenso.

My two cents: I stand by lando in large part due to my appreciation for him setting this up. I also can't believe it's such a big issue either way. I'd suggest writing up an EOG in ms word; it may be cathartic.

so is is meta gaming to discuss a game that is overwith someone in a PM? I am not saying I have, I am just putting a 'what if' scenario out there for us.

I personally don't have an issue with that, but that's Lando's call. I just take issue with general EOG's in the middle of a round, since it would be very easy for the EOG writer and the responders to consciously or unconsciously hint at their situation in the other games and have all tournament participants as an audience to their words, which is generally a bad thing for a GB tourney, right? I wouldn't PM anyone *in your bracket* about finished games if other games in the bracket are still ongoing.

Its a fine line. The only rule is discussing ongoing gbs is forbidden. I asked that people "go easy" on eogs because these games effect each other. I am asking people to avoid eogs as a preventative measure.

Jimgov it would be nice if uou could not take every opportunity available to complain about this basic gb rule.

wELL, I will only say this. that someone IN my bracket did ask me about a game that is over, asking me why i didnt do such and such.

I explained it, and that was that. I dont think that is meta-gaming, so I am going to keep playing, and I may do a EOG or 2 afterwards.

Just dont refer to ongojng games and egeveryone is happy

@Lando - I am not taking every opportunity to complain about this "basic gb rule." When we started talking about this tourney, it was mentioned about someone doing commentary. I can't remember who brought it up first. I said that sounded great (or something like that). People chimed in that you can't talk about an ongoing gunboat game. Cool.

This is different. The basic rule is no talking about an ongoing gunboat game. Nothing was mentioned about EOGs once the game was over. People wrote EOGs. Now, you are saying that you can't do that. Well...it has already happened. I haven't written one, nor was I planning on it. My point is that, since this seems to be a "house rule" for this tourney, it could have been presented to everybody before they started writing ones. It seems crazy to me that someone thinks that their knowing what someone was thinking in an anonymous game that is over will somehow help them in another anonymous game in the future. I guess that they are much, much better at this game than I will ever be.

This is your tourney and I am happy to play by any rules you set forth. I'm sorry if I seem to be a complainer. I won't mention it again.

I'm not going to say how badly I'm doing, it wouldn't be fair on the others.

That's pretty cool that you are in a gunboat soccer league. How does that work?

Nigee sits on the bench and watches.

How does it work ..... we never communicate, organising matches is nigh on impossible !!

I can't stop people talking about games that have ended, I just am trying to make sure that people do not talk about ongoing GB games. @jim Sorry for singling you out, that was unfair.

@Lando - It's all good.

Why not write your EOG when he game ends while it's still fresh in your memory, including the whys and wherefores involving other games that were ongoing *at*the*time* and then post it to Lando? He can put it up on the forum when the round is over. Is that okay with you Lando?

I can't see a reason not to post league tables as games finish though. That would just be collating publicly available information. It would save us the trouble of looking at completed (and ongoing games) to work it out for our selves.

My EOGs will be published with my memoirs and autobiography, if a job's worth doing it's worth doing properly, none of these documents will ever be published as I wouldn't like anyone to take offence ..... unless of course you have bought and paid for the fence

How about an EoG?




Too soon?

wow split, you're handling business.

To refresh my own memory, how are points calculated in regards to wins/draws/centers for each game?

13 for solo, 12/n for a draw.

bump

Who do I contact about a pause. I will be going to teh Keys for Spring Break Starting Saturday 3/8 through 3/13?

we can pause the games in your group, i don't think there will be any objection to that.

So, who do I contact or is it a done deal?
