The Gentlemen's Series
Race to 100! Read inside.
Gen. Lee (7588 D(B))
29 Oct 12 UTC
Here are the rules: I googled ways to score diplomacy tournaments and want to give this a shot.

The tournament will be a series of gunboats and will end once a player reaches 100 D total. If more than 1 player reaches it at the conclusion of a game the highest score will win. The games will be anon-WTA-no-press-50 pt bets each and only one game will run at a time, so there is no telling the length of the series. Players are asked to on the honor system ready up their orders and only not to if they actually need the full phase for real life reasons to avoid an NMR.

Scoring:
Each player receives his center count plus the following adjustments:
Solo = 100 D
2 Way draw = 48 D each,
3 Way draw = 31 D each,
4 Way draw = 22 D each,
5 Way draw = 17 D each,
6 Way draw = 13 D each,
7 Way draw = 7 D each.

Since countries will be randomly assigned by the system, scores are adjusted for country played as follows: (I didn't make this up, but let's give it a try)

Italy = + 2 D
Austria = + 1
Russia = 0
Germany = 0
Turkey = -1
England = - 2
France = - 2

There is a huge incentive to stop the solo in this tournament series and extend the play to the next game. It will be interesting to see how this scoring system will work out and whether the total race amount is right. Post here if you are interested, a slight preference will be given to GR unfortunately.

Gen. Lee (7588 D(B))
29 Oct 12 UTC
Very funny :P You've already lost to me in 1 gunboat tournament, I'd be happy to help bring your GR closer to mine. :D Well maybe i should wait until the end of the day and then put the line ups together, I think we can get 2 going at once. Need 4 more. I'm going to cancel that first game, I'll give it 10 more hours and post the line ups and send out invites after dinner.
2ndWhiteLine (2611 D(B))
29 Oct 12 UTC
We'll easily get two going. Don't bother canceling the first game now that it has a full lineup; we can always get players in both games if necessary.
2ndWhiteLine (2611 D(B))
29 Oct 12 UTC
Also, would you consider making a solo worth 99 D instead of 100? Guarantees the series wouldn't end after an initial solo (except if it was an I or A solo) and might make for some better drama.
Gen. Lee (7588 D(B))
29 Oct 12 UTC
Alright, sounds good. We will see who else comes in. You're in-charge ;)
Gen. Lee (7588 D(B))
29 Oct 12 UTC
I would be down to discuss any changes to the scoring as long as the first round hasn't started. Actually the scoring I pulled up gives points per center - so an initial solo would still win it. We could move the Race to 150. The website listing the scoring system said average score would be 17 each, so I figured race to 100, if everyone did their part to stop a solo would take between 3-6 games.

I would be up for getting rid of the points per center and making it only a tiebreaker, moving solo to 99 or changing the total race amount, comments appreciated. I have stepped out of the current game 1 for the time being to make sure this is nailed down before it starts.

Good Night, webDip
Once again, you have so graciously deprived me of multiple necessary hours of sleep. I'll see you all for a live game during first period tomorrow. Hopefully none of Sarg's accounts will be involved. And maybe someone will bring some cupcakes by my house to make me feel better (Diplomat33, anyone?)!
