First Adjacent Attacks Tournament [Winner: xelabale]

[n00blet]

Standings updated once again. Almost finished with round 1 guys! Keep on trucking

[wmlawman]

This has been quite an interesting experiment. I feel like the rule has been broken multiple times in each of the games I've played in. :-/ It's hard to keep track of without the system itself enforcing the rule. And the first game is rapidly heading into a stalemate unless someone does something soon.

Good idea though. I hope I make it on to keep trying it out!

To anyone else who really enjoys this concept, check out the Suggestions thread here. We often set up other AA games there that you can join in on.

Game 3883003 is done

I sugest a rule change- Even though I may be one of the ones that broke the rule more then anyone, it has not influanced the games over to me..
Change the point system over to 1/4 point loss for each infraction of the adjacent attack rule (then again would that infulance players to accept the point loss to better thier position?)

I think the whole point was to prevent a strategic breaking of the rules, that's why the penalty is so harsh.

wlawman is correct. We have been lenient for accidental, isolated cases, but repeated, malicious rule breaking will invariably result in a 0 for the game. Hopefully, after the first round everyone will have had enough experience with the gameplay to be able to remember more effectively

Group 4 has just finished the following games...

All right! Standings have been finalized for Groups 2 - 4 and Round One is almost over....Only two more games for Group 1 and then it's time for ROUND TWO

I don't think the rule is too harsh because even a small mistake can destroy another players chances. I do agree that everyone should be used to playing this now and hopefully will be real careful in the next round.

I really enjoye this format

Next round should be a lot less of a hassle....break the rules, and you get 0 points. Of course, I'll need to get everyone to agree to play out the game AA even if they are going to get 0 points for the game, otherwise games would need to get remade to no end
Unless, of course, no one forgets at all. Which would be awesome

I will be away the first week of March. I am sorry if this messes up the tournament.

[wmlawman]

So I was knocked out by someone who was taking the turn for another player and didn't know the rules. They of course broke them to knock me out. While I was incredibly weak, there was a bit of a stalemate going on, so I think I had a shot of building up a tiny bit. Maybe not, but I certainly wouldn't have been knocked out yet.

Not sure I am asking for anything, I just wanted to go on record about this. It's a little disappointing to play 52/52 rounds, only to be killed off by someone who didn't even know the rules.

re. game 4085214

This game has finished so the standings can be updated - I broke the rules unintentionally with a mid-turn cash that may have swung the game my way. I forgot to check the rules regarding mid-turn cashes and deployed on 2 terits which I then attacked from, so I offered wmlawman to share the points 3 - 3 as the other 2 had already been knocked out. He's happy with that outcome too so is that okay tourney organisers?

That seems fair enough. If both of you agree, then that is how it shall be

I am back. Did I miss any games?

Sadly, no....Group 1 has one last game to go, but it looks like it might finally be finishing up (or at least eliminating enough people to generate the results of the first round )

Group 1 - we're done! Finally. Now what?

[n00blet]

Now I tally up points and it's time for Round Two!!!!

Yaaaaay

[n00blet]

Round 1 has officially finished
All brackets have been updated with the final scores for each. I'll be sending a pm to each of the advancing players shortly.

And of course, thanks to all who played but didn't advance to the next round

According to this, the scores are wrong. And even if you don't want to do 3-3, I get 2 that game, and not 1.

Whoops....I completely forgot to fix that
I'll change it right now, and we'll see what that changes...

*edit* it seems I was looking at the entirely wrong game for that one anyways.....gahhhh
