Couple's Broken Bingo (Signups are CLOSED)

[Walker]

Weird, it looks like it did. Someone must have joined it and dropped out, because I definitely didn't touch it. In any case, the game has been remade. Same name and password. I'll give you guys a couple days to join.

Regarding unjoined games for Round 2. Right now, wes and rob are both on vacation, so once they get back they'll have a couple days to join their games. Games with Shadowsmoke must be joined by the end of the 10th, and games with lolabunny must be joined by the end of the 12th.

Round 3 will probably be starting in about 2 weeks.

EDIT: Lolabunny's R1 games have been created.

Name: CBB R1: Walker vs. lolabunny
Pass: cbb4

Name: CBB R1 - lolabunny vs. airob
Pass: cbb4

Now that finals are over, is the rematch with DS still possible?

I should be around tomorrow and I'll contact my mortal enemies then

[Walker]

Well neither of you showed any interest in doing a rematch when I asked, so I marked it as a win for DS. If I hear from both of you, then I'll remake the game.

[Abroxas]

I don't want to sound persuading, but DS might consider for a moment that we would show our gratitude in form of some accomodation when our teams clash again.

Also, my game against CO_Raven has ended after all.+

It was a very good and entertaining game. hachi mirrors are funny!

[Felix45]

Hey Walker, if lolabunny agrees, would you mind letting us re-start a new match so we can choose our COs? As it is, I joined just so I would not be late with joining, and by the time you started the game we hadn't come to an agreement on which COs we would use.

edit: lola agreed to restarting the matchup if you will allow it Walker. Sorry for the inconvenience!

[Walker]

Well, I realized the hard way that I made a big mistake when I set up the games for Round 2 of the competition. I added capture limits to all of the games, but forgot that the site's capture limit is glitchy and includes labs and towers in the property count. Because of this, the capture limit is actually absurdly low. You can see below that I lost in this game because Haxxson has 22 cities, 3 labs, and 2 towers = 27 properties.

Game vs. Haxxson

This is obviously pretty shitty. There are two towers on every map, which inflates the property count by 2 for each map. I set the capture limits so that you need 5-6 more properties than equal to win; for example, on Imperial each player should get 18 properties so I set the capture limit to 23, meaning that you'd have to be ahead 23k to 13k for the capture limit to kick in. With the 2 towers included, that means you only need to be ahead 21k to 15k. I don't think this is a huge deal on most of the maps, because that's still a significant advantage -- if anything it will just end games slightly early, but the winning person would still likely be about to win anyways.

Eternal, on the other hand, is a problem. Eternal has 21k per side, and the capture limit is 27. If it worked properly, that'd mean a 27k to 15k advantage for capture limit to kick in. Instead, with the 2 towers and 3 labs, it actually means a 22k to 20k advantage. As you can see in my game with Haxxson, this means that he managed to win despite being in a much weaker position, and despite the fact that I'm capturing several of his properties next turn.

Luckily, of the 4 games affected this one is the only one past Day 3. I really hate to do this but don't see any other reasonable option: I'm going to restart all of the games on Eternal, for Round 2 only. All players must use the same COs as they are now.

The games have been remade. The names are the same as now minus the period in "vs.". Passwords for all 4 games are cbb22. Everyone has 4 days to join. If anyone has a problem with this, send me a PM or post here.

[Walker]

Also, I remade the game between felix and lolabunny.

Name: CBB R2 - felix45 vs. lolabunny
Pass: cbb2

You have 4 days to join.

[randomizer]

Mute seems to be on vacation, and I'm in a situation myself. I think we're going to need more than 4 days before we can get started again.

[Mr--Clean]

is the capture limit only for round 2 or is it in 1 also?

[Walker]

The capture limit was not set for Round 1 games. I'll impose a revised capture limit for Round 3-5 games.

[Abroxas]

You're absolutely sure about it? I could swear that I calculated the possibilities for winning by reaching the capture limit even for round 1 games (figurred out that I couldn't hope for it on round 1 maps).

[Kamuscha]

Didn't get the chance to reach the capture limit, but got the income down to 18,000 on day 18. GG

I'm not sure what you mean. Am I sure about the capture limit glitch? Yes, I'm sure.

[CO Raven]

He means that he had been thinking about the capture limit as a win condition in the round 1 games and is using that as a reasoning that there was one then.

Don't trust lola, we agreed to javier vs colin or grit, and she chose Kanbei. Watch out guys....
Here are the PMs between us.

If Walker is ok with it, I'm fine. Are we suppose to draw our current
game or what?

I suppose, but we should wait for the OK by walker. Thank you by the
way! So, would you like to stay as Javier? If you stay Javier I am fine
with being Colin, Hachi, Grit, or Javier. If you want to do a
different CO
matchup, let me know so we can come to a decision.

I'll play against Colin or Grit w/Jav.
