Champions of Cardhuntria: Discussion/FAQ/Grouping

Fair enough. From our point of view we can just calculate with the chance for different lines of play.

I enjoyed the first very much. The second not so much, but that is just because I hate making mistakes. Which is why I am currently not playing ranked. To be fair, such things happen, if the match is on friday night.

 

Just a reminder that @harels84 and @timeracers' teams have until the last match of the tournament completes to play their rematch, should they wish to do so.
Perhaps @kustaa and @Ut5 may be willing to act as substitutes for your team again, Time, if needed.

 

Finals 99 Shouts of wow (@WhiteSorcerer, @Obernoob & @Arrombador) vs. Raging Strike (@CT5, @Inkfingers & @Duke Tresnor) Friday, Oct 9th, 19:00 UTC

 

For people who want to improve their game play, should look ofc the video, but pay especially close attention to minute 16, where Whitesorcer played the Team Walk a little bit to fast. The play here would definitly going in with the elf warrior, which had enough damage to kill the priest and the dwarf. This way the opponents would have been in need to do something and had to play their team walk and would have lost from that point. But this is just a small mistake.

Unfortunatly this small mistake leads to a risky play I made in moving in the elv warrior to get the kills. The team walk was a totally blow out. Because of the failing ouch and the previous match we know, that the elf is tanked up with blocks, so the plan was not to attack him. But in that situation we were forced to attack him or loose all the cards on the elf without doing anything.

There is another situation were our sub did a big mistake, but I did not found that. He moved the dwarf randomly while other characters were in battle. May be someone else find that situation?

Could you clearify, what exactly in which order the tie break is? This final round seems to be more than close and it could be important whether we have to pay attention for vps or not.

 

From the clarification I got, it's all or nothing, with Raging Strike guarenteed second - you folks are fighting over who gets first vs 3rd.

 

Ink has it right: Winner takes 1st, not-winner takes 3rd.
It may not seem an intuitive system at first, but I like it.
Basically:
One the one hand, Raging Strike and 99 Shouts are continuing their long-standing neck-to-neck rivalry, and, should one not show clear dominance, their total performance thus far will determine the victor.
On the other, K/A has a chance to take it all, if they can defeat both of the leading contenders without failure (and the other two teams are then ranked by performance).

It's very much a structure that caters to my own personal tastes in tournament structures, so I hope you all find it similarly appealing


Besides: High stakes means a much more interesting and compelling final match, right?

 

Which time and date are fine for you, @Janet @Ewemax @WhiteSorcerer ?

Edit:
For @Janet: earlier ist better and the 13th and 14th are fine.

 

We may have here a problem with the time zones. As far as I can tell @WhiteSorcerer seems to be in an American time zone, I am in an European and from the time suggested from @Pawndawan they seem to be in an Asian/Australian time zone. The earliest for me possible is 3 am UTC, for which I have to sleep in the guests rooms. But for @WhiteSorcerer this is already very late, but may be possible. So for us a time from 11 am UTC till 9 pm UTC would be better. But maybe this is in the middle in the night for @Pawndawan team?

 

Nice assumptions, but wrong. I'm from Finland (UTC + 3) and @DupleX & @Bioautomaton are from (different parts of?) USA.

Those times suggested by me earlier are unfortunately the only times we all three can be online this week.

 

Then it should be possible to figure out a better time as we are nearly in the same time zones, i guess. The problem is then, that @Bioautomaton goes early to bed?

@Whitesorcer @Ewemax @Janet Is 4:00 am UTC for you possible?

 

For @WhiteSorcerer 4 am UTC is possible. Guess we just need an ok from @Ewemax or @Janet.

 

@WhiteSorcerer , @DupleX
Just let me know when it gets sorted..

Nice of you all to give @timeracers and @harels84 extra time to complete their match.. ~.^

 

I think we need new times for the weekend. I have time from 4 am till 11 pm UTC on this weekend. How about @Bioautomaton @DupleX @Pawndawan @WhiteSorcerer @Ewemax @Janet ?

 

@Bioautomaton is out of town for the weekend, IIRC. Maybe late Sunday or early Monday UTC-wise could work, though I'm not sure.

 

@DunDunDun we tried to play the game but to much players were missing...

 

We have the same problems unfortunatly with the finals. Guess tournaments in coop mode should be finished within one day / weekend.

 

That was considered, but too many people had too specific schedules for that.
In comparison to now, where we've actually managed several matches reasonably well, basically only three teams total could have shown up on any single day, and that's including all the groups that dropped out.
Trust me, that was a far worse option

Again, future tournaments will have a much more accessible structure- just need to wrap this one up first :X

The more and longer-reaching schedule details you all can manage to post, the easier it'll be for party leaders and myself to arrange the matches.
It's generally not a good idea to try and schedule matches within two days upcoming, unless you've a good sense that people will be available for them.

Feel free to a substitute, it looks like we accidentally let the 2-substitutes rule slide back when, and at this point, whatever wraps up the tournament is favorable.
The original rule of '2 matches participated in to qualify for team prizes' stands, so most party members can swap out safely, losing just a gold chest.

 

So if they can't finish the tournament, we get first place by default, right?
