CM Not-So-Superbowl II

[Big Ron]

In the UK it's Monday morning. No rules have arrived. At this rate I'll be quite good by the time we get going

[mensch]

sorry guys. comming soon.. a little panic right now at work..aargh

[mensch]

sorry for the delay there was a little bit o a panic by the work place.. guh

If anyone knows of LT. Reapers email please give it to me and I will contact him.. if no one has his email..and no contact is available one of the

reserve players will take his place.

<center><h2>ok here it is NSSB Setups!!</h2></center>

----------------

First some ground rules.

1)every player is expected to finish the battles they started and to

exchange files in a reasonable time. I realize that it is vacation time of

the year so it is inevitable that some people will be absent for a time, but

try to let players you are playing know beforehand. Please NO QUITTERS! We

will publicly Lynch you. =P

But if you do have to quit the tourney for some unexpected reason you need

to let the opposing players and myself know so we can work it out.

2) The version we will be Playing with will be 1.12.

3) Players should use their forum names and include them in every e-mail

sent to minimize confusion.

__________________________________________________________________________

The not-so-superbowl has 24 players participating in it. These 24 will be

broken into 4 groups of 6 each for the first round of competition. Each

player in a group will play 3 random players from the group once and the results

of all 3 games will determine who advances. For those who have never played

multiple games of CM at the same time, I assure you that it is not hard to

keep track of the game at all. Remember it will only be 3 games at a time at

the most.

The final game scores of a player will be added together and divided by the

total of games played that round to find an average score. This I feel will

be a better system than a regular bracket for a couple of reasons such as;

it will reduce the chances of numerous tie games per round that can only be

solved through re-matches, a timely consequence. Also it will reduce the

chances of a fluke win. If you make a huge mistake in a game there is still

a chance to redeem yourself and advance. And it will help deal with dropped

players, although I hope this isn't a problem.

After the first round the surviving players (the top three from each division zone) will

again be split into groups (ie the top 3 players in Division Nord Alpha and Bravo will be Division (Nord), and the top three players from Division Süd, Charlie and Delta will be Division (Süd)). The players in each of the new combined Division will play each other as in the first round and the score results will again be averaged into a final score, with the highest

three scoring players from each group advancing to the Final round.

The remaining 3 players from Nord and Süd will go for the mother of all final battles as the first and second round went .. this will result again in three winners(loosers) (ie Brass, Copper and lead medals)

[Croda]

Well, I've sized up my grouping and [Peng Mode]what a bunch of sissies. Am I supposed to be concerned that this group of nobodies is going to flail me like a blonde monkey? I think not. Greg, old boy...let's get this show on the road so that I can begin dispensing with the gangrenous masses you've assembled here.[/Peng Mode]

Phew, that feels better.

[Private Pike]

Just a quick question:

Any sort of rules on the type of map (apart from size), hills, woods etc or do the players decided between them?

"Private Pike(allies) vs. Ted(axis)

"

at least there's no snow this time

Thanks

Pike,

Ha, what are the odds we'd be going toe to toe again and with the same sides to boot.

Unfortunately I think there's a mistake. I thought some guy named Cubes is supposed to take my place.

I'm waiting for Stuka to send me the setup of two 3000pt games to finish the first NSSB and so time is something I lack. As much as I would like to spend another 30 turn game and fighting you to a draw, I think it will have to wait until NSSBIII.

Mensch, let me know if I'm back in.

Ted

[mensch]

ahh good point private pike... I forgot that along with my brain which I left on a park bench yesterday.

<h3>Terrain: this is left up to both players to agree on (yes you have to communicate with your battle buddy) if both sides can not agree on a terrain type settings they go as follows.

first round: Farmland, Modest Hills, Moderate trees

second round: Village, slight Hills, Heavy Trees

Final round: Rural, Modest Hills, Light trees

use only these settings if both players can not agree to the settings... I figure its your death you choose the land you want to die on.. but at least die with your boots on, ok?</h3>

[Moriarty]

move along. nothing to see here. too late.

[mensch]

ok got some responces.. saw a few errors in da rules, but all updates to the rules will be here, any disputes or questions, you should first look here for the official status.

Q&A

Q: is this tourny a pbem only or could we play tcp/ip?

A: yes to both tcp/ip is naturaly faster and more effective, but knowing some people may have to break for a bit, then save the game (one of you two playing) and continue with pbem, one can always change back to tcp/ip easly.

Q: I saw a indifferency in the rules, you on drugs?

A: sometimes, yes.. but true there were some errors on the rules due to my lack of sleep, drugs, loud music and a headache the size of texas. Any updates changes to the rules will be posted here and they stay the official rules until someone else notices my lack of brains (sit down croda)

Q: who sends the starting file?

A: the person who state first off the challange. (ie: Croda(allies) vs. Ace(axis)) this means Croda is the allies and must send a starting file to Ace who will be naturaly playing the axis.

Q: I suck do you think I will make it to the semi finals?

A: don't bother me I have enough problems winnng as it is.

Q: do only three people from each sub division go to the semi finals?

A: yes.. do I have to draw a picture to explain this?? my brain hurts..oh wait I don't have one..

Q: my email of the rules did not come and was bumped to the reserves, why?? (up comming question for sure)

A: pay attention to the BTS Fourms.. look for a thread called CM Not-So-Superbowl II, it has the rules there, and states we have started, and your email bounced back to me and I figure your a tapfer lad and visit here often enough to see updates. Plus you did not respond to your opponents emails and you were put on the bench while a willing eager sideline man took your spot.

Q: Will we be using any of Fionn's short-75 or panther-76 rules, or is it

again left to our discretion?

A: no fionn can keep his rules, I expect you lads to be a wee bit honerable in buying things (OOB) and stuff.. try to be reasonable, we may suck at playing but lets not be childeren picking equipment.

well thats it for now.. I am off to glue whats left of my pigion eaten brain back in my head.

I just realized my e-mail was wrong too...you left out the r, so it's actually Spharv@aol.com...for all those who will now proceed to thrash me unmercifully.

[Panzer Leader]

Let's play! To my opponents, I have sent you an email and am waiting expectantly to deal out some death to your forces.

And King Leonidas replied: "Then we will fight in the shade."

[mensch]

Cubes again my sorrys and many bowings of forgivness.. you are in ted is out due to NSSB I delays.

mensch

note to all players if your name is first in the match ups IE: Panzer Leader(allies) vs. von shrad(axis)

Panzer Leader must make the first set up file his name is first on the match up

I'll send a file tonight (GMT). This is going to be bloody so bring wet wipes.

Dogpick send me a file you wimp!

[von Lucke]

Oy gevalt! I haven't even started yet, and already with the problems!

Scooleen's (whatever that is!), e-mail address is bouncing my missives with a "Host Unknown --- Host Not Found" message!

You're not supposed to hide from me until after we start the battle!

[Croda]

Oh, so we started already?

I didn't hear anyone say go.

Hmmm....

OK, I'll say it then.

GO!

So what's the early line on the NSSB? Who are the favorites? The dark horses?

[stevetherat]

Hey Munch

I don't seem to be playing Michael in our Division. Is this right?

StR

[Wolfpack]

Hey here's a question now that I've gotten 2 of my games going...what's the prize for being the worst in the group? I mean, the winners get to move on, I think everyone that fails to win one (Or is this just gonna be me? ) should play to see who gets the "Worst PBEMer of the Year" award or something.

Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.

[Guest Ace]

Once someone geets Lt. Reaper's e-mail, can you send it to me? I've got a setup waiting with his name on it...

Ace

knoechel@interchange.ubc.ca

[mensch]

steve.. yes that is correct, using a high tech device you were randomly chosen to play three people out of your division section... not all other five.. that means a faster more cruel semi final result...

<h3>people!! official rules are here stated above due to lack of sleep, no sex, and long hours working I missed a few rules. The terrain is defined, but if both players agree to anything ..it goes</h3>

Lt. Reapers email, if someone does not have his email and he does not surface by the days end... he gets bumped to reserves and someone from there on the waiting list will take his place.

wolfpack... if ya suck.. ya suck, if ya suck bad you fall by the waysides. I think we all suck here thats why its called the not so super bowl.. we are just seeing which of us geeks can beat the rest of us in a round of folly and luck.. =)

[Big Ron]

I'm here ok. I was a bit busy last night. Stuff will be sent out. I've only got one setup to do and I haven't had anyhting from you guys. Basically I'll fight on anything as long as I know what it is BEFORE I pick my troops.
