JerseyJohn Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 As some of us would only want to play PBEM why don't we just orgainze it as two different tournaments, I don't see what the big fuss is and am disgusted with the remarks that have already been made. General Rambo is the only one of the regular competitive players to realize there are some of us who like to play, but do it rarely and in a relaxed manner. I'm grateful to him for supporting us in the Main Event, but on the other side of the Atlantic it looks like a lost cause; it's already becoming clouded with condescending conditions. Spare me, I don't need it and neither does anyone else. I honestly don't want to be treated as second rate and I'm sure my Europ PBEM counterparts feel the same way, so let's orgainize our own event.

JerseyJohn Posted April 20, 2004 Author Share Posted April 20, 2004 Great to have you Rannug! I hope some other Americans feel like we do, if not we can always cut the National part and just organize some sort of tournament. -- In fairness to Zapp and Kuni, they're IP players and want their own kind of tournament, we aren't begruding them that right, it's just the types of games don't really mix well in the same event.

Arngrim Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Separate, new, different divisions.. I'm happy either way, I just like the game and want to be humiliated in all sorts of new and interesting ways so I can improve my own game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyJohn Posted April 21, 2004 Author Share Posted April 21, 2004 But Comrade, I think he meant, uh, oh wait, he's Swedish and I've been a big fan of their movies for decades so, who knows?! Arngrim That's the spirit! Good to see someone else who doesn't mind being defeated all the time, it was getting lonely losing alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curry Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Jersey, comparing PBEM and playing via network or TCIP is like comparing apples with oranges. But there are more of us (PBEM) out there I do believe. For instance, In the SC PBEM league there are 24 ranked players with at least 1 win and 71 unranked players for a total of 95 and a total of 281 win/losses recorded In the world league there are 10 ranked players with at least 1 win and 12 unranked players for a total of 22 and a total of 212 win/losses recorded. (much more playing per person in the world league, these are SC gaming people for sure!) TCIP players I'm not ripping you - Again, not trying to compare them. I think the TCIP crowd is the more competative, gung Ho crowd. Perhaps even the better players. But I think there are more of us PBEM players out there just in numbers who just enjoy the game for playing and not winning. JJ - watch out for Runnug. He is as good as the Zapp, Kuni, and Rambo class players. Very very good player and a great guy too.

Panzer39 Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I'll do the PBEM route if it works out better that way. Or both, but than that prob means two losses for Team USA .

JerseyJohn Posted April 21, 2004 Author Share Posted April 21, 2004 Panzer I'll be glad to -- I figured you were tied up with end of college affairs and didn't want to bother you with another. Will send it tonight. Glad you're willing to play PBEM, it will be good to balance it out a bit, we've still got one European in the lurch. Either Rannug the Terror of the North or Wehrmacht, Germany's New Secret Weapon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyJohn Posted April 21, 2004 Author Share Posted April 21, 2004 Curry Agree both about the apples and oranges and about our friend Rannug. Aside from being a great guy and a great player and quick to help his opponents with game problems, is also very modest and would probably deny that appraisal but I also think he's up there with the best of them. Will be playing PBEM in this thing? If you are then it could be something like this: PBEM Division: JJ v Archibald Panzer v Rannug* Curry v Wehrmacht* *Or if you guys want to switch that would also be good, I'm just listing the names withouth any thought to paing: my own game with Archibald is set now. Panzer and Rannug are both excellent players. Wehrmacht is comparatively new but I'm sure he's pretty good -- yes, yes, I know you say you aren't but we know better than that!

Wehrmacht Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 It's okay for me to play against Curry, although he has beated me 6 times in a row, soon seven At least I know my opponent now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyJohn Posted April 21, 2004 Author Share Posted April 21, 2004 I thought that was mis-information and part of the secret weapon plan? Fear not, seven is a lucky number! -- What am I saying, Curry is my teammate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curry Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Wehrmacht is no longer new. He is already much better than when I beat him. [ April 21, 2004, 11:09 AM: Message edited by: Curry ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAK_21PzDivision Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 In fact, Wehrmacht works really hard!!. He wakes up very early to study SC and to think about how to destroy the enemy armies... I guarantee it! So, he will be a great opponent! (but Sweeden won´t surrender!!!, okay Kani?? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wehrmacht Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 It will fall in two turns, I guarantee it to you Jesus. Then, it's a race to Berlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
