Anonomous games
I am too paranoid to have multi's or meta's in a game that I am joining that already has 3-4 newly joined players. If I make the game it's fine but they never fill lol. Tell me my level of paranoia lol this game is worse than how THC is portrayed.

Early phase change?
Did the system change to where if everyone finalizes, the next phase is automatically started? Even just yesterday I thought that even if all 7 players finalized, we still had to wait out the last few minutes (in a 5 minute/phase Live game).

Today on the Help->FAQs the topic about faster phases was removed and I saw something in there about how it would automatically end the phase early if everyone's finalized.

Strange Bug...
A few minutes ago I logged in and checked my in-game messages. I had three messages, clicked on the games, and read them all. Then I left and came back a few minutes and the envelope was there for the games again. I checked them, and it hadn't recorded that I had read the messages I read.

Maybe this is just a one time glitch, and if it is, I'm sorry.

ok everyone here is what i would do for the scoring officially. Winner of each game gets 18TP. in a case of a two way draw both would 9TP. If both powers are tied SC wise then they would both get 2 more TP added to the nine. If one has more SC's then he they would get TP in addition to the 9TP. Three way draw each get 6Tp one with most SCs gets4Tp added to the 6 and the one with the second most SCs would get 2TP added to the 6TP. A four way draw would be the same with each getting 3TP and the power tiwht the most SCs getting 4TP and the second most SCs 2TP.

In a game where you have one clear winner who gets 18TP each survivor would get 1TP and the defeated obviously would get 0TP.

The tourny will have you facing the same people twice. Whoever gets the most TP out of those two games goes to the next round. Highest scoring players go on and if needed the highest scoring second place will go on as well.

In order to determine who faces who in the second round and the rounds after the second i will randomly draw out of the hat who will be put where.

Each game will cost 5 D and will be winner takes all.

If a player needs a pause it must be given to them and they have to return within a week or the game will continue. If a player cannot continue playing in the tourny then the country team will have 5 days to find a replacement team member.

The teams i would like are listed above. if you can make other teams contact me and i would be glad to put them in as well. Each team is to consist of five players. 3 players will play a normal game 1 player public press and 1 gunboat (chosen randomly from teams who plays what and will change each round)

This tourny will most likely take place in February.

"If one has more SC's then he they would get TP in addition to the 9TP" How could you have a two-way that isn't tied SC wise (17-17)?

With direct regard to scoring, to explain the way you're going with it, what sort of playing style do you want to encourage, exactly?

Also, what about >4 way draws, and why are 4ways so poorly paying in comparison to the 3 way draws?

I would suggest the gunboat games being 2 games of half points, because they take less thought/time etc. and they tend to be more random.

I'd suggest you do sign ups at a later date.

I'm not clear about what you mean by:

"The tourny will have you facing the same people twice. Whoever gets the most TP out of those two games goes to the next round. Highest scoring players go on and if needed the highest scoring second place will go on as well.

In order to determine who faces who in the second round and the rounds after the second i will randomly draw out of the hat who will be put where."

And the broader structure generally.
DJEcc24 (246 D)
15 Oct 09 UTC
the 4 way draw has less ebcause i divided 18TP to be divided by four people. with the person with the most SCs getting 4TP added to the 3TP and second getting 2TP added to the 3TP. should i make the TP number higher than three for fourway?

And what i mean from above is that the player in each round that has the most TP after the two games in the round will go on. and once everyone is determined that will be moving to the next round i will take their usernames and randomly select who they phase in round two and the game type
DJEcc24 (246 D)
15 Oct 09 UTC
and i think i will erase all current sign ups and move sign ups to a later date in time.
denis (864 D)
15 Oct 09 UTC
420 is the lowest number divisble by 1-7 so draws would be even no matter what
since you want this tourney to be WTA we can arrange 80 TP for highest SC count
and 40 TP for second highest on the case of a tie in SC count 60 TP to each

I've got some pretty complete ideas as to how this kind of tournament could run. I'm going to write them up and post them now.
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)
15 Oct 09 UTC
You have 4 player teams:

2 Standard Diplomacy Players
1 Public Press
1 Gunboat.

Teams each represent one country, however you may have many teams from the same country.
If there are fewer than four players from a particular country, you can create groups of countries that play as if they were a single country.

You have either 14 or 21 teams. There may be swing teams necessary to make it up to one of those numbers.

You have 2/3 Groups of Seven. The teams in a group play games against each other:

2 Standard (1 per standard player)
1 Public Press
2 Gunboats (both played by the same player)

The games are anonymous, to avoid metagaming from same country teams or from swing teams.

The points are scored as follows.

420 for a win
420/n for a draw
0 for defeat.

Plus the SC count (any win has an SC count of 18)

With half-points for the Gunboat games

Then:

If 2 Groups, top 3 non swing teams plus better point scoring 4th non swing team from the 2 groups.

If 3 Groups, top 2 non swing teams in each group plus best point scoring 3rd place team from the 3 groups.

Go through to the final.

In the final, the same thing takes place again, so it is like one of the groups. The winner of that wins. In the event of a tie, the team that scored more in the group stage wins.

I have to say I like TGM's format better, though I don't know what he means by "Plus the SC count (any win has an SC count of 18)".

That said, I'd be happy to represent Canada. I think we've got a great team if we get Friendly Sword and Centurian as well. =)
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)
15 Oct 09 UTC
So you get 1 bonus point per SC owned, but if you win with 20 SCs, you still only 18 D.
DJEcc24 (246 D)
15 Oct 09 UTC
i like it mostly. but a thing i have a problem with. the anonymous. can we track who those people are easily? does it show at the end of the game who everyone is? i've never played an anonymous game believe it or not. also i want them to be able to work together in same games as teams when it gets to that point. and 4 players per team is fine. we'll give the larger countrys more teams than the smaller countrys.
Xapi (194 D)

I think players of the same team playing in a game goes pretty much against everything the game stands for...
DJEcc24 (246 D)
15 Oct 09 UTC
so keep it anonymous in thsoe games? or hsould we move it become a poitn system where everyone faces everyone else and the team with the highest points wins?
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)
15 Oct 09 UTC
Xapi- they are different teams, but from the same country.

Anon. Games: The personalities are revealed afterwards, as I understand it. I don't really know because mods can view the player names in anon games that the mod isn't actually playing in.
Centurian (3257 D)
15 Oct 09 UTC
I've been avoiding this thread because I think we have alot of organised competition nowadays and I have alot of games. However, since Chrispminis specifically mentioned me, I'd gladly answer the call for the great nation of Canada. I would hope to just play standard diplomacy though.
DJEcc24 (246 D)
15 Oct 09 UTC
we aren't doing sign ups right now anyways because we aren;t organized yet Centurian.

i'm not a mod so could i not see that to run the tourny?

Centurian (3257 D)
15 Oct 09 UTC
I also think this is something that takes alot of logistical magnitude, so I advise you to head TheGhostmaker's advice DJEcc24
Centurian (3257 D)
15 Oct 09 UTC
I was sort of talking to other Canadians... you wouldn't understand, not being Canadian.
TheGhostmaker (1545 D)
15 Oct 09 UTC
As I say, I believe it is published after the game has finished.
DJEcc24 (246 D)
15 Oct 09 UTC
oh my bad.

yes i am listening to ghost in many ways. this is just the hard part getting the rules straight. once we have it all down then i think this tourny will flow nicely the next times we do it.
DJEcc24 (246 D)
15 Oct 09 UTC
ok thanks ghost. so have all games anonymous or just 2 out of the four?
