Yes, gunboat. If we get more people we can discuss other details.

Before any games start, there is a bug that prevents fleets from moving from Orientes to Alexandria.

Oh, any idea when that will be fixed?

Now that the problem has been fixed: anyone other then Mr. Fink into this?

Hmm, sure! Although some tribes could be screwed over in Gunboat.

Count me in too!

That leaves only two spots left!

Games will be gunboat. I'm guessing 1.5/2 days/phase is good?

Unrated, with tournament scoring being 1 point for solos and 0.5 points for draws regardless of player number. Please make suggestions.

We will play six games with each player playing one of the tribes in each game, this will hopefully offset any imbalance issues, everyone will have equal opportunities. Games will start all at the same time unless anyone has objections to that.

When we have six players who have confirmed I will PM all of you to give you your power assignments for each of the games.

I want your opinion: anon or non-anon?

Thanks everyone!

All simultaneous and anon. Imperium is small enough to handle six games at a time, and anon ensures players will play the game for the game's sake and not the tournament.

I would prefer rated, if only so that the stats of wins/losses/draws/survives show up in my profile page. But if anyone has objections to this, I will be happy to do unrated.

I will do rated to. Just thought that most would want unrated.

Spot left? Only if 48hrs. I always ready when save. It's due to my fri to sun schedule. If not acceptable, i pass.

That's acceptable to me. Any objections from those already on the list?

Awesome!

So, current rules are as such: six games with each person playing each tribe starting simultaneously, 2 day phases, anon, HDV, rated with a bet of 10(to keep things even, smallest bet is two if you want to do that), tournament scoring is 1 point for a win 0.5 for a draw(regardless of size), and 0 for a defeat.

Should tie breakers be based on center count or something else?

Please state any objections you may have, I think these rules are pretty good as is.

For tiebreakers, I propose:

Whoever had more solos wins.
If solos are same, then whoever had the most SCs in their drawn games wins.
If that is the same, then whoever had the most SCs in their survived games wins.
And if that is the same, then whoever had the most fun wins!

+1'ed, Mr Funkel :p

Sounds good Fink!

I'd like to hear everyones thoughts(even if you approve of everything I laid out) before I set up any games.

I am willing to accept any tournament setup, but if you want my opinion I feel like wins are pretty undervalued in that system.

Whats the rationale for that, rather than a simple;

10 points for a win
10/n points for a draw
0 points for survive / defeat

Tie broken by number of wins
Tie further broken by number of draws
Tie further by number of supply centres across draws
Tie further by number of supply centres across survives

Well, that system incentivizes players to narrow the draw. Although you could argue that that isn't a problem.

I would like to +1 Fink too!

However Because of the current vDip systemI need to replace in one more game first before I could play 6 at a time

Here's one

Frozen Dog, here's my view: rewarding a smaller draw goes against the spirit of this specific variant, wherr a one sc ally is valuable at the openings phase. Suddenly, it is game end phase already. This is why i am, in principle, against the sc count as a tiebreaker. If we could just accept this, then the FUN part would be even more rewarded.

I agree with CCR.

If you are ready to start and agree with the rules please write confirmed next to your name.

Bump.

After 24 hours I can finally join 6 games at a time :D

Thats fair!

I am happy to agree with the principle.

Sorry I copy pasted the wrong one but hopefully you catch my drift!

We are just waiting on Sky_Hopper.

Sky Hopper?

You there?

I PM'd him.

Oops... haha, we can begin.

I'll set up games in several hours.
