2014 Webdiplomacy Tournament Replacement Player Needed
Board 4 is absent one player for the tournament. I am looking for someone interested in joining the tournament. Priority is given to players that can pay the $10 buy-in with emphasis on reliable players. If none are forthcoming, I would accept any reliable player. DO NOT POST HERE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. Message me privately since this is anonymous and you will be revealed after this board has completed.

Fleet Moscow
Why can I not build a fleet in Moscow? It borders the Caspian and could be used in an attack against Turkey. I realise that there is a rule saying that units can't moved to unnamed spaces on the board, like Ireland, but why not move down the coast to Sevastopol and then to Armenia? This wouldn't be a useful move, but should it be allowed according to the rules?

Discount for taking over left position
Is it still under consideration to allow people to take of left positions for half price? This could encourage a lot more players to join games in progress. The pot has already been paid, so it's bonus money for the current players, and incentive to come in at a disadvantage (often).

Gunboat lovers, unite
Coming back from a slight hiatus, I'm looking for a gunboat game, WTA / 36h. Who's in? If there's enough interest, I'd like to start another series in the Tournament / Biggest Loser vein.
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
01 Dec 14 UTC
I'm in. I'd be happy to do 7 games of 25 D; fine with swapping for uniform placement or not.
Zmaj (215 D(B))
01 Dec 14 UTC
I'm in for any gunboat game above 12h.
Yaleunc (11052 D(B))
01 Dec 14 UTC
I'll play if it is one game. Chaqa is trying to put together a high quality 7-game series with 100 buy in but we still need one or two so if that happens I probably wouldn't be up for 7 here but definitely one.
Hi minister. Id be up for gbs if my points available allow.
Code Bomb (100 D)
01 Dec 14 UTC
I'll play as well, if my points are okay.
Ah yes, I remembered Chaqa's thread but couldnt find it anymore. Unfortunately I don't have 700 D lying around. If point entry goes down on that I'd be happy to join there too.

I prefer playing a high pot, but good entrants are more important, so quite willing to drop to bargain prices. Please also let me know if you want to play a series:

Player (single game, series)

- TMOW (yes, yes)
- Valis (yes, yes)
- Zmaj (yes, ?)
- Yaleunc (yes, depends)
- Lando (yes, ?)
- Code Bomb (yes, ?)
- A_Tin_Can (???)

Valis also suggested to try out another scoring system. I'd be open to try one out, but frankly scoring systems do not significantly inform my game choices, so let me know what you guys think.
Code Bomb (100 D)
01 Dec 14 UTC
I'll do a series, if my points allow
Zmaj (215 D(B))

Valis2501 (2850 D(G))

Maybe I should clarify, what was the "Tournament / Biggest Loser" system?
I would participate in either a single game or a series, provided that it doesn't run me up a bill of more than 300 D

Im in, for either a single game or a series, as long as its at least 36 hr phases.

Wish I could but too rich for my blood, my understanding would be that only Zmaj and Yaleunc from over here would be available to afford it, and I believe they're already in.

Balrog (219 D)

Count me in. But I won't be able to play more than one game.
- Name (single, series)
----------------------------------------------------------------
- TMOW (yes, yes)
- Valis (yes, yes)
- Zmaj (yes, yes)
- mendax (yes, yes)
- YHN (yes, yes)
- yaks (yes, yes)
- chluke (yes, yes)
- Code Bomb (yes, yes if =<60 D total)
- Lando (yes, ?)
- Yaleunc (yes, probs not)
- VB (yes, no)
- A_Tin_Can (yes, yes if we do 3 at a time or fewer)
-Balrog (yes, no)
The scoring system used in the GT and BL was:
------------------------
The scoring for the round will be as follows:
13 for each solo
1 / n * 12 for each draw, where n is the number of players in the draw
0 for each survive or defeat
--------------------------

I like the emphasis on the solo personally, but am open to experimenting. I'm not a big scoring buff though, so if y'all have suggestions feel free to jump in. If not, let's default to this.

I was waiting to see if we would have fourteen for a series, but it seems we don't. So I propose we do a 7 person 7 games series, in order of those applying. Some have issues with points and such, and I'm willing to accomodate. I suggest we do a three-game stagger system, 10 D buy-in. This should allow everybody to afford it.

- TMOW (yes, yes)
- Valis (yes, yes)
- Zmaj (yes, yes)
- Yaleunc (yes, depends)
- Lando (yes, yes)
- Code Bomb (yes, yes)
- A_Tin_Can (yes, yes)

Sub for Yaleunc:
- mendax (yes, yes)

@Yaleunc: let me know if you want the slot. If not, it can go to mendax on a first-come first-serve basis.

Apologies to the others who applied - I hope you get a good game going nonetheless.

Let me know if I missed anything.
I missed one thing: countries will be non-random.
Yaleunc (11052 D(B))
04 Dec 14 UTC
Just started Chaqa's 7 game series plus I have several other ongoing games so I will skip this series. I am still in if you need me for a single game though.
