Beckman Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 So with Wreck's departure, what do we call ROWII, Section Four, is it still the GoD? Looking forward to tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 Well, The_Capt is still in attendence, so maybe we should downgrade it to "Group of Doom" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But feel free to be satisfied with Yourself... The interesting thing about that scenario was that the Nordic Wannabees scored exactly opposite. Scenario [ The_Aftermath ] medians [ 59 41 ] I figured the real nordics are just reckless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 Hey Ted, how'd you decide on that order of billing? Doesn't look alphabetic to me! You guys are gonna have a good time. These are interesting, challenging, and just plain fun scenarios. Enjoy! Hey, Winecape, how 'bout some wine for the scenario testers, too? Can't have the designers gulping all the vino!

Buckeye Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 You know, that's why I used to hate it when the elementary school teachers would say, "Alright, class, line up in alphabetical order!" It was always a thrill when it was "reverse alphabetical order"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted June 6, 2002 Author Share Posted June 6, 2002 Important! Your section schedules show a scenario called "Tiger Woods". Evidently, that was only a working title. The final title is "Another Day". So, the "Tiger Woods" schedule applies to "Another Day". Attention TOURNEY I, Section 4!! Wreck has been replaced by Diceman. You will receive an updated schedule/contact list soon. Attention TOURNEY III, Section 3!! You have no replacement at this time for Nemo. I'm giving backups time to respond before moving down the backup list. You will receive an updated schedule/contact list when we have a replacement. Files are going out now. The invasion has begun!! It is a slow tedious process however, requiring extreme care on my part. Be patient. The boats are crossing the channel now, but there are LOTS of boats! Treeburst155 out.

Treeburst155 Posted June 6, 2002 Author Share Posted June 6, 2002 Scenario designer's names have been removed from the briefings to prevent tactics based on known design styles. When the tourney is over the scenario designers will be announced so you'll know who to blame for your wretched performance. Thanks, Boots & Tracks, for the scenarios!! Treeburst155 out.

Michael Dorosh Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 The map I just received is unreal; very breathtaking. Is posting screenshots verboten? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted June 6, 2002 Author Share Posted June 6, 2002 I see know reason why screenshots of the maps should be verboten IF you don't show any units or setup zones. That's VERY important! Triple check before you post. Make sure no unit is selected. Come to think of it, the very nature of a shot not showing setup zones may give away the setup zones. The only way is to edit out the zones and units for screenshot purposes. You cannot do that with the saved game file you have. I will send you cleaned up maps for screenshots. Sound good? EDIT: The VLs will have to be removed too since they could give something away too. We'll have to be very careful here. Um......I will have to send you screenshots. I can't even send you cleaned up cmbs because of the parameters screen. Too much chance of a slip up. Treeburst155 out.

Treeburst155 Posted June 6, 2002 Author Share Posted June 6, 2002 Hehe....I can't send you screenshots to post because I'm using my ultra ugly "War Room" mod. Only Ben Galanti and I can stand it. Everybody else will go blind if they gaze on it too long. LOL!! Besides, it won't do the beautiful maps justice. I will ask SuperTed if he or his designers would like to supply sanitized screenshots.

John Kettler Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 Treeburst155 and fellow stalwarts, Have received and unpacked the goodies, but haven't had a chance to look at the map yet. All briefings are in hand, and I expect to launch my first game tomorrow, when my brain is working. Regards, John Kettler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visom Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 TB, I'm sure you intend to do this anyway, but please state a deadline with a date for these five games when you have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted June 6, 2002 Author Share Posted June 6, 2002 Visom, The goal is 90 days from the date the last file is sent out. Let's say September 15th. We'll throw in an extra few days. I can almost guarantee you at least ten people won't make it by then, but we have to wait on them due to the scoring system. I've thought of penalizing players for being too slow, but it's often difficult to determine who is the cause of the delay. Many times it is both players who can't keep up the pace, I think. The Nabla Scoring System is the best there is IMO; but in order for it to work, the players must play diligently so as not to hold everything up. My fingers are crossed. Treeburst155 out.

Jack Trap Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 Hey Treeburst. At the start of NWT, there was a posting for gamey pointers for future opponents to discuss. I am pretty tired of this entire issue personally, but it may be best to repost those pointers now before we get much further. I'm (by nature) a lazy man, so if this has already been brought up, please disregard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeydz Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 Is the start of T3-section3 delayed until Nemo is replaced, or should we still be expecting files shortly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
