What KyleFC said.

I think Spell of Wheels should be tarred and feathered...personally.

Also, one of the members of Team Ontario is going to be away from August 3 - August 23. We're looking for a sitter for that period. PM me if you'd be interested in taking over the position or for more details.

Could someone post the links to the games again? The full press link earlier doesn't seem to work

Full Press I gameID=92990
Full Press II gameID=94475
Public Press gameID=93086
Gunboat I gameID=93618
Gunboat II gameID=94985

Why were the gunboat games paused?

Shouldn't we have ben voting for that???

The gunboat games have been force paused upon instruction by the tournament director as per the stated pause policy of the tournament, which grants up to a seven day pause for any upon request.

Please vote to unpause when you are ready to resume. The games will be force unpaused after 7 days if not already unpaused by vote at that time.

clarifying for yebellz, he is correct. after 7 days it will be unpaused. That is how it originally was so that it doesnt last forever.

as far as my lack of involvement on this site i have been very busy since graduation and have not had the time. If anything else does come up you will have to email me at [email protected] because i will not be on here to check. I do not anticipate comign back to webdip for a good amount of time until i am settled in college and know i have the time. Thank you

I understand that pauses are a right for this tournament, but it is extrremely disconcerting when they are made without a warning and without a reason.This is exactly how other tournaments have failed over time.

I would have expected the pause request to be made in this forum so the competitors could grant the right to the pause.

I have found that tournaments run much smoother when the competitors are the ones controlling it, as they have a real stake in the agme where moderators do not.

My god what's going on with public press?!?! That board looks so wacky!

Its a looooong read if you want to delve into it hahaha. Its a roller-coaster ride

How can I? When I'm on the game board I can't see the press.

At the bottom of the page is "archives"...select "Messages" and you can read the entire history of messages

It definitely is the best, at least, one of the most challenging games I've ever played but it's pretty cool.

Somebody needs to e-mail DJEcc24 about Full Press 2. This is getting ridiculous.

In any case, the mods shouldn't make any decision without DJEcc24. I haven't talked to my teammate in the game, so I don't know his opinion.

Has anyone contacted the tournament director yet?

Still waiting on an epxlanation regarding the paused gunboat games..........

should we cancel, then?

Thank you for emailing me guys. I appreciate it since i am rather busy these days.

I have gotten multiple complaints about metagaming and a pause that needs unpaused in full press 2.

From what i have gathered someone has figured out the identification of england and has researched how they have played in the past as England. This has apparently influenced their play, apparently more so than their diplomacy with england.

If that is so, i agree this is metagaming (as i understand from the site rules)

As far as the refusal to unpause the game because of this, that too is not in concordance with the tournament rules and should not be happening.

Both cases are in my opinion, wrong and hurting the gameplay.

I propose this game be cancelled and redone. I know metagaming should not be tolerated but in this case lets let it go as a warning since the unpausing is not tolerable as well.

As for the not unpausing, contact me about the metagaming or the mods instead of taking the game into your own hands.

Thank you all for your cooperation and i look forward to when I can be on the site more often.

Uh, DJ, if you had wanted to implement a stricter metagaming policy in the tournament, you should have done so in the rules. What Germany appears to be doing is perfectly within the site rules, as far as I know.

I remember having a conversation in this thread a while back about how I supposedly was going to go to war with Sangoose in PP should I figure out his or her identity. The consensus was that even if I did that it wouldn't be considered metagaming.

As for FP2, at least as far as the Germany's global chat is concerned, it seems like it did not let its investigations determine the outcome of its strategy in isolation.

Heh, I remember that too. That would be metagaming if you were to do that (and I only got so abrasive there because a) he's my teammate, and b) I've known people to feel the way you did when playing games against him). The difference, as I see it (and a mod should feel free to overrule me in an official capacity, as this is an issue of site rules), is that you would have been making the fast elimination of Sandgoose your primary goal because you did not like him, whereas Germany here is making tactical decisions, likely based in part on English diplomacy, in part based on in game positioning and power balance, and in part on the past actions of a player he has guessed to be the English player, like you say.

TL;DR: This case is shady, but seemingly not metagaming. We should get a mod to make an official ruling as the TD's was based on an interpretation of site rules.

ghug: Well, I understand what your original accusation was. But I had no intention of finding out who Sandgoose was in my game, let alone narrow-mindedly seek his elimination. It was what I would have done that could not have been considered metagaming.

Well, I see that the game's been cancelled, that's too bad. I also saw on the global chat before it was cancelled that England was going to be replaced by a teammate. I see no justification in the rules for this and am wondering why it has been allowed (if it actually has been).

Awww, there's so much love for me! ^_^ Peace, Love, Shits and Giggles... *kiss kiss*
