Around the weekend, I will send each of you a link to the games.

The first game: no auction. You choose any faction and play. The second (and next) games: auction as a tool for copying the correct factions order - but I will remind about it.

@Gaianator many thanks for the list, and your points table!

::

What is the prize in the tournament apart from prestige? - unknown player asked.

The award is a diploma, a bouquet of flowers, a chocolate box and a rocket trip to anyany planet in the solar system!* Are you ready for this?

*But I warn you guys that the organizer reserves the right to withdraw from the award due to coronavirus restrictions! #stayhome #washyourhands #keepdistance

IMPORTANT informations & request:

player El Temblo was created a discord-channel just for our Tournament, you guys all welcome: https://discord.com/channels/693041156698669057/887406128290492426

Request: Please vote & decide:

  • by putting: A / B / C as comment. You can also write your position on the proposal [1] & [2]

Manual poll only for players enrolled in the EuroAfrAsia Cup (10 A's required for motion to pass):

  • A: Play all four of your round games simultaneously

  • B: Play round games one after the other

  • C: I don't have a particular preference

It's not mine but also yours Tournament. We play together & decide together. If 10 people choose options A or C, we play: 4 games at the same time.

If you don't understand the difference: ask here or check discussion from Discord channel.

Why am I asking you this?

Some players have an idea about changing the system of games. Please check dissciusion https://discord.com/channels/693041156698669057/702081375309660170 and vote here (forum) or there (Discord), we will summary all voices.

EDIT: But... maybe better way is these proposals:

[1] Each single group can play as they wish if all 4 players agree

and:

[2] In the event of great differences in agreement, Gaianator will reorganize all the groups so that 'simultaneous players' can be put together into 1,2 or 3 groups. And the rest players, preferring old system 'one after another' also put together, into 1,2 or 3 groups. Still we have to keep Torunament's rule: each group is 4 players.

or

[3] @Snitz: all groups should play the same way.

Till now (Discord + forum) :

A (simultaneously) :

  1. Babbuc49,
  2. carioca
  3. rescod

C (indifferent, but 'simultaneously' is OK) :

  1. El Temblo
  2. markus
  3. sharath
  4. Mecenas

B (one after another):

  1. ariallito
  2. effaraitsch
  3. bardopondo
  4. Gaianator
  5. DukeR
  6. lucasrrr (but option A is also ok)
  7. Snitz (but option A is also ok)

:: ps. In my opinion: {1} and {2} is OK: players should try new method. But I definitely want to be in a group that plays in old way: one game after another. If there is no such group - no problem, I will play like everyone else.

bardopondo

Option B. Why not option A? - playing 4 games in the same setup simultaniously would be just monotonous. It would be harder to follow your pre planned strategy for your game this way, cause the games would mess up. I've got this tested in late Polish Leauge.

Following the same winning patern in the next round games is not the issue in my opinion, because optimal moves highly depent on other players actions, which would differ highly as the games progress. The optimal initial mine placement and boosters taken from game to game probably would be the same - but these decicions are rather obvious.
It like chess - the possibilities count in bilions. No worry in coping winning moves.

Please notice: it will be our together defeat if someone completely loses game/tournament just because of an absurd missclick.

In such a situation - please report the bug in the game chat IMMEDIATELY. The next player is supposed to wait, shouldn't make their own move. We will try to find help.

Of course, this does not apply to a player's wrong decision. The situation must be transparent, without any doubts!

These 16 group games really deserve a summary. But by not directly participating in 12 of them - I can only risk unfair judgment.

In my group D, the weakest Lantid result and the worst Ambas result were also one of the hardest fights in this group! So it makes no sense to write that X vp is a low result. In the same way - for example: I know nothing about the actual value of the Lantids scores in group B, sometimes one decision (your or not) can change everything...

If anyone wants to add something or sum up these difficult matches - please.

I can and would like only to write: thank you ALL 16 players for your games!

@ariallito I' ve got some observations and interesting for me afterthoughts, but frankly, I think that revealing them would be somenthing that might interfere with the rivalization.

This setup of 4 identical games leads to particular attitude, faction strenght is something that is less significant here, hence they are all played at some point.

I propose to define the exact schemeing key of picking factions for all 4 games. E.g. : Ist match ABCD 2nd BDAC 3 rd CADB 4th DCBA Or something like this....

@bardopondo

Thank you for your opinion. We will do as you suggested. And we don't need 'auction' anymore, because BGS has fixed 'player order' option :)

Explanation the random order of your group F is:

First game:

  1. vizkris
  2. Markus
  3. bardopondo
  4. carioca

So we're going to shift the order 1 to the right:

Second game

  1. carioca
  2. vizkris
  3. Markus
  4. bardopondo

Third game:

  1. bardopondo
  2. carioca
  3. vizkris
  4. Markus

etc.

vizkris is 'Host of the table'. He will manage the correct order.
