The Commissar Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 And now, "In Case Anyone Gave a Damn" presents... My status: Me -vs- Lopake: Gah! Minor defeat! Evil, evil Green troops and poop throwing monkeys! Me -vs- Carrot: Gah! About to get something like a major defeat! Evil, evil Green troops and Unt Dork! Me -vs- Warhammer: I killed lots of his guys, but he did give me a major beating too. The game is about to end. Computer tells me he's winning big time despite the fact that I have knocked out most of his AFV's and butchered a fair share of his troops. *shrug* Me -vs- Kannonier Reichman: Me - Chaaaaarge! Recihman's armor: Dieeeee! Me: OK, I oblige. Battlefield is a smoking wreck. Reichman's a good defender, but things might still go my way. Me -vs- Wreck: Evil, evil poop throwing monkey! Can't even throw me a PBEM file. [ 12-07-2001: Message edited by: The Commissar ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 The call has been put out to a few who have expressed interest in being replacements for this tournament. One way or another I'll get a replacement before the weekend is out. Now I'll put the replacements' file package together. Fight on!! Treeburst155 out.

Dogface21 Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Holy shiite!( like the Islamic sect, seriously) That is one of the FUNNIEST posts I have ever read! I was making this loud braying sound, like a choking moose, while I tried to focus my eyes on the next line. Damn fine work. Oh, I'd like to jump in if possible! Edited because this was originaly meant to respond to the Jerry Springer Spoof. Due to my ineptness I failed to notice it was on the end of the first page, not the third page. But what an opertune time to pull a Munson! [ 12-07-2001: Message edited by: Dogface21 ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THumpre Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 For anyone that cares(boy, am i leaving myself wide open with that one...) my fabulous email migration(look closely and you can see the mating dance of the Greater Northern Cisco Router....) has been completed. My new and improved email is aewert@adelphia.net I sent out turns yesterday but am still waiting on Ricochet and Massattack, no hurry though, this way I can delude myself into thinking that I am winning some of my battles....

Redwolf Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Commissar, I think you must not post game results here. The scenarios are unbalanced, that means you give too much information away that other players can use to ajust their own expectation about what size of enemy force they face. Treeburst, correct me if I'm wrong, but unless I misunderstood something, the posting should be edited to delete the score hints. Happy hunting everyone.

The Commissar Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Don't worry about it, redowolf. If anyone asks, I suck EDIT: OK, I looked over the post again, and you're right, I made it too detailed. Edit on forementioned post now in progress.

Dogface21 Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 Drag me wherever, I won't have time to notice. I've got some fast and furious PBEMing to do.* * I have'nt been confirmed yet, but I hope so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, we're all dog-faces. We're all very, very different. But there is one thing that we all have in common - we were all stupid enough to enlist in this tourney!

Treeburst155 Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 OK, I think it's time to officially announce Dogface21's new status as a Nordic Wannabee commander. Welcome aboard, Dogface21!! Your files and section info are on the way as soon as I finish typing this. Thanks for taking up Shadow's slack. Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 You guys in Section Four who are the Germans against Dogface21 (Shadow)can go ahead and send him the first file. His briefings have been mailed. Here's his addy: zippo79@onebox.com Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanonier Reichmann Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 Welcome back Dogface. I hope there are no hard feelings for having taken your place in Section 3. Come to think of it... I think I'd prefer it in Section 4 where you are, it's got to be easier than playing against this bunch of cut-throats in your original section. Regards Jim R.

Dogface21 Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 Well Ive just returned home after a loud and alchohol tainted evening at a show here in Seattle. 'Evangeline' was in top form, and I never quite got up the nerve to ask that beutifull chick to dance, but what the hell! Im in the NWT TOURNEY!!! WHOOOOHOOOO! No hard feelings to ol' section 3 (YET......... MuHAHAHA!)Everyone who's anyone knows that Section 4 is where the truly cool people hang out anyways, so...so...THERE! I am honored to take my place here at the NWT, and look forward to slugging it out with the venerable Section 4. I will do my best to get caught up ASAP. I have Sat, Sun and Mon off work, and can send alot of turns on those days, if Real Life doesnt pop up and bite my ass. During the week I can send after about 6:00pm Pacific. Its 2:fiftysomething AM here in Sea-town, but Ill send the first turns tonight. IF I can get the screen in focus and make it stop doubling. It was a good show. Edittted becauth 'm rully durnk.

Nabla, how much crack were you smoking when you designed these scenarios!?!?! * Dogface looks at VLs on map, then at availible units, face blanches* I geuss this is just going to prove that 'Less is more.'

White4 Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Curious to know if anyone else has developed a "wince and duck for cover" when the "Reinforcements" button comes up in MoD? That scenario gave true meaning to the acronym FUBAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always knew that if I received re-inforcements then as sure as hell the enemy would as well... and usually within spitting distance of each other! Regards Jim R.

Redwolf Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Status of my games in group one: Sgt Gold: Exchanging moves quickly, beating the hell out of each other. ytinghellfish: you should have received file 24 yesterday. Cooper: you should have received 03 on Nov 30, didn't hear from you since then Rother: you should have received 08 on Dec 3 Mare_Ichthys: we agreed to start when other games are over or stalled. Cooper and Rother, please check that you received said mails. If you'd like for a slower pace (no problem with that), I would start this game now, so please keep me updated. Happy hunting everyone.

Dogface21 Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Sgt. Kelly, I seem to be having trouble with your Email addy. I keep sending it, and it keeps getting returned, have you gotten turn 2 by chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hensworth Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Treeburst, Could you possibly e-mail me the password for my game against Dogface21 ? I've changed comps since the start of the tournament and I forgot to get that password out of the mail before I decommissioned the old heap. Thx in advance.

Dogface21 Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Dear Section Four, I have sent all files out, and am awaiting (patiently) replies. If for some reason, you did not get a turn from me, please let me know. Believe me, you have nothing to fear, ask Strider, he is busy rolling up my green troops and smoking them like a huge...well, you get the idea.

Treeburst155 Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Nabla and I have tweaked the scoring system a bit. The general idea is still the same, but the point values I am assigning to AARs have to be changed (currently 1/4 to 1/2 tourney point). What I will do is assign AARs a value at the end based on the average final tourney score of all 24 players. I think 3% for good AARs is about right. If you write 5 AARs your score will be increased by a number equal to 15% of the average tourney score(before AARs). Brief AARs will only score 1.5% of the tourney average per AAR. Basing AAR value on a percentage of the average score is much better than my trying to guesstimate what that average score will be and setting an appropriate fixed value to the AARs. ALSO, I'm not sure I mentioned the following to this group: An exploitable flaw in the scoring system was brought to my attention by JPS (not participating). Here's the new twist to fix the problem: For games that do not add up to 100 points the difference will be split between the players. For example: A final score of 60-30 will be recorded as 65-35. If you can figure out why I am doing this then you have a devious and gamey mind. Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
