The players have 1 week to respond on vdip. we can institute the same rule.

We would play but steephie's time zone is 9 hours off of ghug's.

I think we should probably switch to a easier 1v1 format and have the ladders as they appear above

1v1 Civ games are awful

Indeed. 1v1 sucks.
When I'm done with my exams, I would gladly organize a 1v1v1v1 tournament accounting for time zones and player schedules, as I still don't know why we didn't.

I also didn't give up yet. I repeat: I have holidays so as long as I know in advance I can be awake from midnight to 8 in the morning my time or whatever.
The only properly frustrating thing is the lag as far as I'm concerned.

Idk, the 1v1 I just did against ghug as random civs Zulu Vs Ethiopia was fine. I only killed him around year 1160AD. Seems totally reasonable.

:(

Addis Ababa was so good until it died.

1v1 isn't good for Civ.

1v1 is fine, you're all just afraid to lose to the superior military might of whoever plays against you.

What are those rankings based off of lol

Scores in game at time of suspend. Goldy had a very high score depite losing.

That and we all know I'm better than you.

Official Tournament Announcement

Bracket A
captainmeme
DemonOverlord
yoyoyozo
guak**

**Guak is being replaced by me if this game does not resume by tuesday.

Bracket B
HellenicRiot - Advances to Champions circle
goldfinger - Advances to Play-in game
brainbomb- Elim**
DemonRHK - Elim

Bracket C
Chaqa
VashtaNeurotic
ghug
steephie** (Steephie will be replaced by WardenDresden as of tuesday unless the game resumes play immediately.)


In all situations where a player is taking over as a replacement, the game will reboot and start over. brand new draft, and brand new game. This is to correct the games that were flawed.

Guak is not the issue he plays a lot wtf

huh?

I am not the issue either. As mentioned, I'm available 24/7 as long as I'm informed in advance. I don't know what's keeping us up from continuing, but it isn't me. If the other three name a date and time, I'll be there.

Also, brainbomb isn't playing in a second game. You're out and you stay out, brainbomb.

You're also not running the next tournament, I hope.

I further hope that we can agree that brainbomb can officially run this as long as he is not making any kind of decision.

its been a month dude. I play civ on a daily basis with ghug and vash. So unless this is all chaqa's fualt, (which it clearly isnt) apparently you guys just dont work well as a bracket. Thats fine the brackets were random.

Do you wanna be in this? then play the game by tuesday.

And demon is right the problem with bracket A is not guak. the problem is that the players in bracket A are more interested in nightly exhibition games than actually messaging guak and resuming the game they need to play. So if they dont play, we can kick guak and it can be on them. Lets get these games going please so we dont have to do any weird stuff. Tuesday is the deadline. get your shit together Bracket B has been done for nearly a month.

can you chill - i am not playing w/ u in my bracket bb

These are executive decisions. this is above the clearance levels

If you dont like it. form your own tourney with steephie.

k

give us warden and you can go ruin bracket C

Seriously though - why is it taking you guys so long to finish a game? We did ours in two nights.

@bb: If you actually want to do something to get this going, get the other three to pick a date and time. Don't complain and definitely don't think you've done anything to fix anything yet.

@goldfinger: Because we're not playing for some reason. There's not a whole lot of communication going on so I can't quite figure out why, but I assume because there's not a whole lot of communication going on.
Luckily brainbomb is eager to fix things, so I'm sure he's going to do everything in his power to communicate a good date and time for both brackets, if only so he doesn't come off as a complete hypocrite.

Thanks bb! Your help is appreciated!

What the hell are you talking about, bb? I've talked to Guak and we already arranged to play this weekend. "the problem is that the players in bracket A are more interested in nightly exhibition games than actually messaging guak and resuming the game they need to play" is just plain wrong.

I'm also fairly sure that C is not Steephie's fault. I have seen little to no attempt to contact him by the rest of his group recently.

He doesn't care whose fault it is. He wants to replace me because A) 24/7 isn't enough and he can do better and B) he wants a second chance because he fucked up his game.
