<3 thanks guys.

"Ill be an alternate if you need. im on here all the time."

is it gauche by now to joke about thinking brainbomb was leaving, or...

By the way, if center counts are decided only during build phase, what happens if someone wins before retreats due to The Bug Which Must Not Be Named? I guess that's kind of a hard limit on the rule, unfortunately.

I have a secret plan to fight inflation if that occurs, don't worry about it.

Nah I just decided to keep playing a game I like. And to tone down my behavior.

Might need one or two alternates for the alternates, if you're interested in playing, please PM me!

I would but Im already dead in this other game lol

The games that do get off the ground are going really well! Glad to see everyone is having fun.

I must say, I was expecting a lot of messages. Instead, this is one of the quietest game I've played.

Not naming names, but part of the whole point is that there will be quite a few, er, casuals. I suggest those feeling very competitive to keep in mind that there will be a wide range of skill and effort among the tournament player body as a whole.

I just reread the rules again (for he 3rd time) and noticed that in 4.3, it says;
"If there is not a multiple of 7 Players registered for a round, alternates and/or the TD will be called in, and then Players may be asked to play multiple boards"
So, if I'm reading that right, alternates might play several boards in a round, if there aren't enough players?

Players/Alternates, even the TD can if we're desperate but its a situation I rather avoid. Fortunately most of the alternates stepped up, but we were still one short, and Yoyoyozo was willing to play two boards, so he is playing on both board 5 and board 6. He will receive the highest of his two scores.

There really shouldn't ever be more than 1 person, 2 in a super rare case, doing that though, because if we are more than 2 people short of an entire board the 5 or so alternates can just not play that round.

Getting exact multiples of 7 can be very tricky :/

short answer is "yes", sorry for rambling.

I want names named goddamnit!

I admit it. I'm a casual player. I have always been a casual player. My mother and father were casual players.

Gotcha. I actually prefer rambling to short answers. That's why people tell me I talk too much in FP games.

Please, for the love of God, SHUT UP!

did wjessop hire you?

Ill be an alternate for any CDs you have lol.

Thanks brainbomb, but I recently received a most pleasant offer from someone not already in the tournament to be an alternate. Also there's two more rounds, everyone will get plenty of chances to play.

Youve done a good job keeping it organized.

Brainbomb's last replacement went so well. :P

(To be fair, it's really hard to diplomatically step in when the last player was absent from basically the beginning.)

It's never over till its over!

Speaking of that, Valis, it looks like the tourney has its first casualty.

Yes. Let's all extend a GG to Parros15, he will receive 1000 !

Huh, Yoyoyozo's 2 games both began with key lepanto moves in Spring, 1901. And he was/is a participant in both.

Well, the thing about key lepantos is that, *especially* without access to press, you really never know if that's what's going on. Let's just see and watch :)

op work Valis ..I cant even begin to imagine the effort you are putting in ..I for one am very gratefull.
