The SoC Training Academy and its Training Grounds provide basic training for new and old members looking to enhance their game strategy. "Train a Cook today, lose to a Sergeant tomorrow"
Earlier today, I sent a PM to Elaterate, Dukasaur, and dhallmeyer about the third game in the Dukasaur v Elaterate match for the #1 spot.

The Hive is gonna take FOREVER...and not ya'll fault...it's a stupid large map and with these settings, it's just stupid.
So... what are your thoughts on having this game deleted and recreating it with the same settings?
I can send a PM to one of the CC Admins to see if they can delete this game. If possible, then a new game would be created by Elaterate since he created this game. This has never been done before on the Ladder, so this is new for me.
Yeah or Nay...Both of you would have to agree to deleting this game before I will proceed at all.

However, if everybody is willing, I'm willing to have it not count. Start a new one, perhaps with a round limit this time. The new game would be for the Ladder, the old one would be finished but not count for anything.

Okay, sounds like we're agreed.
Elat, since this is your game, want to go ahead and re-make it? All the same settings as the original, random map (surely we can't draw Hive twice in a row?) but with a 20-round limit?
Celliottii, can you post this agreement in the thread to make it official?
This post makes this official...I also want to state this is a rare...very rare occurrence for me (or any other SoC Admin) to step in during a match. I read Elaterate's previous post and saw the match was going to take a lot longer than normal, so I stepped in. Please do not contact or ask me (or another SoC Admin) to step in during a match...This is a one of a kind issue/ruling.

You can check my wall to see his "confirmation" that he'd like to join...
He's been around for a million years. I'm sure if he wants to, he can navigate to the forum and sign up properly.
Well to "sign up properly" he'd have to meet all the following right?

Which he doesn't.... which I didn't when I joined... which is why I asked. Just trying to do someone a favor
Hey! Gonna read up to figure it out and follow the rules, thanks for making an exception, wanted to join for a long time, but didn't want to go through the pre-reqs haha
Looks like I'm not on the board yet, can I still challenge people or need to wait?

Welcome! We'll call it a "senior moment"...got everything done, except adding you to the Ladder...You're there now.
I will be on vacation from Thursday, September 26 until Tuesday, October 2. Go ahead and make challenges and posts. I will do by best to check in while gone.
If the match between Elaterate and Dukasaur ends before I return, then I relinquish my DIBS (Duk) to josko.
