Conquestish Assassin [22/32 choices]

question:

in the scoreboard sheet there is a column for "accidents" -- is it a loss of a point if you take someone out who is not your target?

no well you get the survival score of 1 rather then the winning points of 3 or 4 so kind of but no your not punished for having an accident. The embarrassment is enough of a punishment Though I would prefer it if there are no accidents but I think about 3% of assassin games end in accidents from my experience.

Is there some kind of super cool amazing player bonus for having the least deaths? Asking without bias, of course.

Not currently but maybe I will ask lindax for another GA medal for it like my tournament Dealers choice.

But you will need to remain just as deathless for 92 more games

[juke]

That's the plan!

Ok I am going to be a little busy for the rest of the week so only able to take turns so thought I would send out a new batch of games slightly earlier than I wanted. I have sent out 3 maps for 12 new games each which I hope doesn't overload anyone. The maps chosen are AOR3, AOR1 and Antarctica so we nearly had the AOR triplicate

Onto the scores and we have 2 players tied for 1st place on 69 nice! RKCVED and Juke both with 7 predicted wins but RKCVED has 18 total kills to Juke's 16 I wish I had their win percentages in 3rd is Devante 6 points behind on 63 and 15 kills. 4th and final player above 60 points is Kgbpizza on 61 points and 13 kills. 3rd and 4th have both predicted 6 of their wins.

Talking of the prediction GA medal there are the 2 leaders plus DBandit70 all on 7 predictions so no movement since last time I think maybe an extra name. On least deaths which isn't currently a GA medal but I might see if I can wrangle one for it are Juke on just a single die and Wile E Coyote on just 2 guess it pays to be a cartoon character

Every player has manged to get at least 1 win now YAY!!! Though I have decided to cut Nick11 from the competition due to them being kicked out of at least 7 games and so making the games with them in them less fair due to targets needing to be shuffled when they are kicked for missing turns.

So good luck in the games and I hope you are all having fun. Especially on my favourite map of the selection AOR3

Yeah that happens though luckily not often and that is not the way to consistently win these maps

I learned the hard way that map inspect is also broken on Age of Realms 3, lol.

It doesn't show that the blood water regions can directly attack any dock. The legend does say this, so it's my own mistake, but the map inspect shows bombard only.

In other news, I'm getting 1-2 more deaths. Extremely sad news. I have/had two King's Court II games where my target had 1 region for 5+ rounds and I couldn't kill them lmao.

ohh I see I guess I have been playing AOR3 so long I hadn't noticed I guess being bombarded by the ports overrides the fact that the blood can attack the ports.

Ohhh noes death sucks I have unfortunately had 9 myself. or maybe a couple more as I have 20+ games to score. oof make that 45. I only did scores yesterday and there were 88 of them guess it may be time for me to send out more games today as I am traveling tomorrow so maybe best to get it out of the way if I don't overload anyone on game count.

[juke]

I think I'll be on 3 deaths, and endeavour to keep it there.

Yes, most of the time the bombardment would suffice. The specific issue I had, was that I couldn't see where my target was. He'd somehow gotten to the ports, but had no port. I was telling myself it had to be Sanctuary, but the port on that island was still a neutral 5. That player won the game and when I checked the log they were, of course, on Sanctuary.

Ahh hehe yeah cheaper to go out via blood than the port of sanctuary

Right we were getting down to very few games left active I think it was like 50. So I sent out a bumper batch we are playing on KC2, C500, CC and AYBABTU. We have also hit the half way point of the competition well sent out at least still a little more before we have completed half the games.

On to the scores we have our first player on triple figures well only just RKCVED is on 100 and 25 kills 9 of which were predicted in 2nd also on 9 predicted wins is Juke 91 points and 20 kills, 3rd is Ukey 89 points and 21 kills, 4th is Luxbock 88 points and 22 kills so it is a tight fight for 2nd

We had out first game go to round limit where The Warrior65 managed to end up with the most troops I have decided to treat round limit wins as if that player won by objective so 2 for the winner and 1 point for the rest of them. So if you want the most points try not to go to round limit or objective I guess

Juke claimed they had a few more deaths but I can't seem to find them but more surprisingly or maybe not just behind them on 2 deaths is Wile E Coyote I always thought the cartoons showed him dying a lot but maybe cartoon physics is working well for them

Good luck in the games and I do hope you are all having fun and I haven't overloaded anyone's game count

[juke]

I ended up not dying in one of them.. think I will in another soon, though.

We have had a player drop the invites and ignore my message and so I have decided to cut them and rejigged there games so I think 12 players should have 1 invite to get the last of the last batch of games started and us to the official half way point.

I have now sent out 4198 invites to the tournament actually I think I made a mistake so maybe add another 24 to that number when I was changing maps :/

[plurple]

ok it was about time for me to send out new games so I decided to send out 3 more maps Monsters, Conquer 500 and AOR3. So it is just New World that we have yet to play any maps on at all I guess it is being shy 4 maps after the current ones have started will have has all of their games go out AOR3, Conquer 500, Kings Court 2 and Middle Ages We have a lucky 13 maps left after today's batch so just 4 or 5 more batches.

Scores time at the top leading the charge is RKCVED on 121 points and 30 kills 9 of which they predicted, just behind them is Luxbock on 119 also with 30 kills only 8 predicted this time though and in 3rd is myself Plurple on 114 points and 27 kills though I managed to predict 13 of my kills so I am leading the GA medal boards with Devante in 2nd for the GA medal on jut 10 predictions

The best survivor is still a hot competition between my favourite ACME enjoyer Wile E Coyote and Juke both only having taken 4 deaths though just behind them is Aad0906 and ESQuire both just behind on 5 deaths

Another interesting statistic being the number of oppsies players have been having there have been 31 total accidents for 2.75% of the games ending in an accident. Though the 2 players who each have 10% of the accidents a piece are Aad0906 and DBandit70 so maybe they both need a new pair of glasses or to drink some more caffeine

Aad0906 is coming up a lot in this recap along with RogueTrooper69 they made it so I needed to add a new column to the spreadsheet for those who had predicted a win on the map but they won by objective instead of assassination Speaking of objectives there have been 9 objective/round limit wins in the tournament

Well good luck in the games and have fun all. Let me know if there are any issues in the tournament all

[plurple]

based on it having been 18 days since our last batch of games and with us have 3 or 4 more batches left I don't think all of the games will be out before Christmas unless we have some fast games any who the latest 3 have been selected to we are in space with aliens, wizards and monsters drinking rum or maybe that is just me having wishful thoughts

On to the copy and paste section Luxbock is in the lead, wait hang on this isn't dealers choice so they are leading but only by 9 points not 50 they also have 38 kills predicted just 9 of those, in joint 2nd are RKCVED and Plurple (hey that is me) both on 140 points with 34 and 33 kills each RKCVED having predicted 10 and myself having predicted the same as both lux and RKCVED put together

GA medal is being led by a long way by myself having predicted 19 of my wins followed by 3 players on just 11 predicted wins Juke, LFAW and Devante. Though I beleive I jut have the 4 AYBABTU games left and maybe a couple of conquer 500 games that I am not sure how they are going I was hoping for 50% so getting close to 75% is pretty good not sure how many predicted maps each of my competitors for the GA have left though.

Juke will be sad to hear they are no longer leading in fewest deaths it is still Wile E Coyote followed by Aad0906 on 5 and 6 deaths each maybe I need to learn something from them as I have more deaths than the 2 combined and 10 more points would see me sitting in first place

Anywho there are still 10 maps after this and we have yet to visit the New World . Good luck in the games all and have fun see you all in a week or so. oh also I have currently sent out 6057 invites for the tournament if my count is accurate

A lot of players are so eager to go after their target, that they overextend themselves and don't defend well against being assassinated themselves. Sometimes I see players that are really weak, and instead of trying to recover and stay alive, they might still relentlessly pursue a target that they have no chance in assassinating. I build defenses and if my "assassin" gets too strong, I will attack my assassin instead of my target.

[plurple]

well your better at determining who your assassin is than me but then I am in 3rd based on my last update soo I can't complain to much

[plurple]

2 more players decided to not accept invites or became to busy so I have reshuffled the games I even gave them some extra invites due to the lag issues but alas no dice. So up to 18 players will have new invites to accept but I am pretty sure a couple are duplicates

Now I am off to go fix up my spreadsheet so it all runs smoothly

I agree with you that its crazy how some of the people are attacking too much, overextending and then basically taking themselves and you out of the game. I see this especially of Conquer 500 and Monsters. But killing the wrong target is not the answer. Once is a mistake, maybe twice. But making this a practice is not allowed.
