Holien Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 I am truly blessed. Two turns in one night. Glad T is back up and running. Just that doddery old man down under who is slacking. I guess that he and the Kiwi have an excuse as it is summer there. H [ February 17, 2003, 04:43 PM: Message edited by: Holien ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holien Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Hi Frency / et al... Saying it does not look good is fine. Saying Minor / Major etc I think goes over the edge of FOW. (Frenchy could you edit that bit out of your previous post?) However, I could be wrong and will let KF butt in, to clarify. H 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchy Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Holien: I don't see how - now if I had put down how I obtained the M* victory, then I think that would be crossing the line or if I had put down the exact score. I could be wrong. If one of the Tournament directors says take it off I will. 2/17/03 - I stand corrected and have removed previous comments.

Cpl Carrot Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Small update: Rear Guard Retration is progressing slowly*. Turn 12 or so. Christmas Battle is still on turn 15 or so. Have not hear from the estimeed Toumas for 2-3 weeks Hoss is nearly complete. 3 or so turns to go. AAR for the Beast is done but have made few changes since I sent it in. AAR for King of Debrecen is progressing. Was held up trying to work out how to put three thrumbnails in a row . Only took me a day . Down hill run now. Should be done in a few days Cpl Carrot *slowly due to me not Holien. I should be able to speed things up in the weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong. If one of the Tournament directors says take it off I will. Because it can send a message as to whether other players on the same side are having troubles or succeeding well in a given scenario. Since we are using the NABLA system (as opposed to the NAMBLA system, which is illegal in the lower 48 contiguous states and Alaska), that much information can affect how an individual plays. For example, if you and other did really bad in a given scenario with a given side, I might think about just trying to bloody the bad guy's nose a little, then withdrawing all my forces off the map in hopes that his losses would offset the points he could get from VLs. That might make me more competitive in a given scenario than if I had no information about how everyone else was doing and just decided to fight it out.

Deadly 88 Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Status Report ROW III 3-4 # Rear_Guard_Action Deadly 88 vs SuperSlug Progressing - Turn 28? # Hosszupalyi Deadly 88 vs Joe Cz Turn 25? No reply in 7 days... # The_Beast Deadly 88 vs Frenchy Complete # The_Christmas_Battle Deadly 88 vs SpaceHamster Progressing Turn 18 # King_Of_Debrecen Deadly 88 vs Ryddle Progressing Turn 23 I accidentally loaded 1.01 files into 1.02 and it worked. What gives? Does this mean that the patch is not working? or it is backward compatible? Is that possible? I was told that you couldn't load 1.01 files into 1.02 or 1.02 files into 1.01...but I can with no problems. (I didn't do it on purpose...but I did start experimenting to see the side effects...and there isn't any? Comments? Side note for Kingfish. I'm not much of a writer, nor am I elegant with words on paper, or feel inclined with the little free time that I have. Just how many points will I be losing if I don't submit AAR's? Is it a percentage of your Victory or Loss? That means that If I lose every battle, then the bonus points would add up to very little anyway. Or is it a flat % of the Total points of each scenario? That would be a significant amount...and could cause someone to lose their spot in the next round (FINALS)...not because they were an inferior opponent (enough points to advance) but because they didn't have enough free-time (Real Life) to write a story. If the Bonus points are small, perhaps those people will have enough points to still advance. If the Bonus points are large, then perhaps the best players are not the ones needed for the finals, just good ones who can tell a story. Can the AAR's be submitted anytime prior to Easter? Even if the battle has been completed many weeks prior to Easter? Comments are welcome 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolloff Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 RTFM Originally posted by Treeburst155: AARs Bonus points will be added to your final Tourney Score if you submit AARs. Each full credit AAR will be worth 4% of the highest player's tourney score (before adding his AARs). If you write five full credit AARs you will receive additional tourney points equal to 20% of the highest player's tourney score. AARs will receive either full credit or half credit. You must write more than just a few short paragraphs for full credit. I will let you know if an AAR is too short soon after you send it to me. You don't have to write a book either. Just give us a fairly good description of how the game played out. You could choose to write a piece on a scenario that is more of a scenario review than an AAR if you want. The main thing we're looking for is constructive feedback. You are not required to write AARs. You just get a few extra points if you do. This could put you ahead if you're in a tight race in your section. The primary purpose of the AARs is to provide the scenario designers with feedback on their work. If you've ever designed a scenario for the community, you know how rare it is to get this feedback. Writing AARs is one way to express your thanks to the designers. Even negative feedback is welcome as long as it's constructive and not mean spirited. Another thing AARs do is help people learn to improve their tactics. Every scenario is played 36 times in a tourney such as this. There are 36 other people who had to deal with the same tactical situations you did. It can be very instructive to learn how others handled things, especially if you did worse than most. (BTW, all the AARs will be sent to you upon request once you have completed your games.) Lastly, by writing an AAR (or review) you are doing the community a small favor. This is because the designer can tweak the scenario based on feedback before releasing it to the community. Having a scenario played 36 times by 72 different people is a great test of a scenario. I think it's safe to say that very few, if any, scenarios get that degree of testing before they are put out to the public. Those of us who enjoy these tournaments need new scenarios (security). In return for these scenarios the designers should get the feedback they like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holien Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Aussie wine is better than Kiwi wine? Discuss... The Penfolds last night was just too good to turn down.

MajorVictory Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 My opponent in Rearguard Action has stopped sending me turns. I had the advantaged side and was winning handily. My other opponents had the advantaged side and gleefully sent me as many turns each day as i could stomach. I think a pattern has emerged! Do we really have to wait the full time limit before a non-playing player loses? Just asking. :confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holien Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Ahhh hahhh Winecape you have only caught half a conversation and ended up with half an answer. Yes we are playing for great South African wine. However the Cpl is annoyed that for my wedding I have chosen Australia wine to be on the tables. Penfold's to be exact. Now if we had been getting married in South Africa it would have been South African wine without a doubt. I see Major_Victory may have a drop out? Is the said person still sending turns to his other opponents? Sometimes people need breaks and it is usually good form to e-mail saying so. Did you get such an e-mail?

Do we really have to wait the full time limit before a non-playing player loses? Just asking. :confused: The problem here that we need more than win/loss. We need a victory point percentage. To achive that, this tourney had started under the rule that such games are played to the end by either a new opponent or the umpire if its short. But that was Treeburst, don't know what is happening now. I enjoy the tourney less than the Nordc wannabees and RoW II, too, BTW. My sluggy turn rate is caused by workload, however and I think I'll be in time overall. But speaking of "Rear Guard Action", my opponent did only send a setup for now, not even the opening turn. And this is a long game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
