disorder Posted May 26, 2003 Author Share Posted May 26, 2003 yes many thanks terif! jersey john is now free to participate! one question to jerseyjohn though-- if by some strange quirk... if by some strange trick of fate... if the incredible of incredible happens... if the alignment of the planets is such... if by(well you get the point) if jerseyjohn somehow manages to win , how can he perform a ceremony upon himelf? wouldn't he have to defer to the pope or somebody? oh well, we'll cross that bridge if we need to.

JerseyJohn Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 No problemo, as many people have hinted numerous times I'm blessed with a fratured dual personality challenge -- you guessed it, and told so by some of the nation's finest shrinks. Provided I have space enough to move around the awards table my first self can hand it to my second self and they'll both be extremely pleased. Afterwards I can resume taking my medication and the one always trying to break out will be locked safely inside -- or visa versa. Aside from which, the chances of me winning are extremely slim. Forseeing such an impossible awards presentation I've encouraged several fine gentlemen to enter who will turn Jersey into Jelly.

Jollyguy Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Sign me up: rrweeks@attbi.com I'm one of many who can't devote long stretches of time to TCP, especially with a new job starting in a week or so. I do however like to mix and match PBEM and TCP, especially TCP'ing at the games onset, to get things rolling. But I'm easy, whatever my opponent can fit in is fine with me.

Terry Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Hi, would like to join. Normally play Hotseat so will do me good to get out and get battered by someone new. Probably can only play PBEM due to work committments (maybe some IP at weekends). Are players going to be intially organised into timezones to make IP more practical?

disorder Posted May 26, 2003 Author Share Posted May 26, 2003 terry-- Hi, Probably can only play PBEM due to work committments (maybe some IP at weekends). Are players going to be intially organised into timezones to make IP more practical? thanks for joining! as this first round lasts 45 days from the time scenario is sent out, it will be completely up to the two first round combatants what they want to do. if they play one day at 5:00 a.m. and the next day(or week) at 9:00 p.m., or completely by pbem, that will be up to the two players. ip/pbem/ or a combo of the two, it doesnt matter. please contact your first round opponent when he is listed to find out the best times to play. as this is a pbem(with allowances if you want to ip), i believe ip will be the exception rather than the rule. please check back to my first post to see complete rules and how opponents are picked! for example,i only have small snatches of time available during the day, and at this time am unable to ip. therefore at this time i cant ip at all, and the game will need to be pbem. but only 45 days maximum from time of start.

TheBlackDouglas Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Count me in ... pbem works best for me because of my work schedule, but I can occasionally slip in some tcp/ip time. Also, about the "replay until you get it right problem", doesn't the game show how often your opponent reloaded that particular turn? In any case, what's the use of cheating? As for level, I am currently playing my first non-AI opponent, and feeling the sting. So I definitely qualify for the lower half! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyJohn Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 As it's crowding the deadline I'd just like to remind everyone to Disable Undo when they set up a pbem game, or any game at all. Except when you're going against the AI in which case it's best to turn-off FOW for the AI's sake. I'm sure disorder will provide us with full setting instructions, just wanted to emphasize this one part of it.

disorder Posted May 28, 2003 Author Share Posted May 28, 2003 tourney sign-up is OFFICIALLY CLOSED! 16 participants will make an ideal bracket,with no "byes" and participants opponents will be picked tomorrow(as follows) all pairings will be random picks and placed in a numbered slot. you will either randomly get an "allies" number or an "axis" number. 1-8 allies 1-8 axis once this is decided, both #1's will play, both #2's will play, etc. every contestant will have a copy of the scenario, and obviously the german side would go ahead and send the starting move to start the battle round! all nazi winners will be put on "allies" side and vice-versa. if there is an odd #,it is possible that you would play the same side again. be watching for SETTINGS and CONTESTANTS & E-MAIL ADDRESSES , TO BE POSTED SOON!
