The II Eastern Hemisphere Gaia Tournament

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.
