Re: Oct 2023 Gunboat GR Challenge
It looks like we are approaching enough players for 2 games, so let's try to hit that goal first if we can.

@Unknown Hero
You may have missed my earlier message but I have a comically large Criminal Law test coming up so I’m probably going to drop out.

@V+
It's winner-take-all in the event of a solo, under both scoring systems.
SoS is the closest scoring method webDip has to reward the board-top in the event of a draw, so it seemed the best choice.

Re: Oct 2023 Gunboat GR Challenge
Fair take, Doug. I guess the way I see it, the most diffiuclt result to earn is a win, and the second is grabbing a place in a draw with just one unit while everyone else would rather wipe you out. I prefer to play for the win and fall back to the smallest possible draw, especially when time is not a factor. Hence, DSS (previously known as WTA) over SoS to reward outcomes accordingly.

Re: Oct 2023 Gunboat GR Challenge
I will send out the invites for the game I am in once we are ready to start. I'll need volunteer from the other table as well.
Here is the current list of players:
G1
23. V+
26. Troodonte
164. Aristocrat
299. UnknownHero
733. Doug7878
1986. Ferdack
3153. Jamiet99uk
G2
14506. DarthPorg36
15716. CNote
16891. Hamilton Brian
We are looking to add 4 more players so that we can have two games.
Based on the discussion so far, how are these game settings for everyone:
36h phases
Hidden draw votes (I'm not aware of a way to hide other votes, let's just not abuse them)
Anonymous players
1 excused missed turn
DSS scoring (seems to be the current frontrunner)
Bet size: 5
The two games (if we manage to get there) can have different settings if the players agree to change them.
@JustAGuyNamedWill good luck on the exam!

Re: Oct 2023 Gunboat GR Challenge
We need 4 players to fill out 2 Gunboat games. The top 7 will play Game 1, and the bottom 7 will play Game 2. Join in. It will be good fun.
UnknownHero will send out the invites for the game 1 once we are ready to start. He'll need volunteer from the second table as well.
