Just lost 605440. A really amazing game. It went to round 19 and last cash in was 40!!! I got him down to 1 territory and a few turns later to 3 armies, but cards failed me in the decisive moments.

PS: What are the tiebreakers when 2 players are equal?

LMAO, knew it would be u that asks Forza . A 1v1 game between the tied players on the standard settings

And what is done when 3 players finish on 1 point? A 3 player game?

Elwar · Post by **Elwar** » Tue Jul 10, 2007 6:48 am

The first player in alphabetical order is taken through. Symbols are ignored.

spinwizard · Post by **spinwizard** » Tue Jul 10, 2007 10:30 am

lol, I think I will work out the rounds they took to win, the person with the least rounds goes through, same for 1v1

spinwizard · Post by **spinwizard** » Tue Jul 10, 2007 10:58 am

It has been updated, this is my solution to the tieing system-
2 player tie for 2nd/3rd- the previous result between the players involved.
3 player tie for 2nd/ 3rd/ 4th-Round difference, the total rounds used to complete their games for each player, player with the lowest round difference comes second in the group.

I will keep updating it

This is impossible. Only 2 way ties possible are for 1st/2nd place (both 2 points) and 3rd/4th place (both 1 point).

spinwizard wrote:3 player tie for 2nd/ 3rd/ 4th-Round difference, the total rounds used to complete their games for each player, player with the lowest round difference comes second in the group.

Well, then I am eliminated after my 19 round game with Elwar.

Seems a bit unfair. I only lost after 19 rounds (much "better" loss then most losses), and I'm punished for that. And also this rule was not there before the games started, so we could not act upon it.
I think a 3 way play-off game is the most fair.

We will cross that bridge when we come to it, the problem is that this is a 1v1 tourny, not a 3 player one

Yes, that's true. A series between the 3 is also possible, but this can then give another tie off course. Maybe a random draw with 2 playing each other first and then the winner/loser playing the 3rd player:

-3 players tied for 1st
-2 players playing each other
-> winner to next round
-> loser playing the 3rd player
-winner of that game also to next round

-3 players tied for 2nd
-2 players playing each other
-> winner playing the 3rd player
-winner of that game to next round

Idea?

Forza AZ · Post by **Forza AZ** » Wed Jul 11, 2007 5:04 am

I won my last game 605441.

freyme 2-0
Elwar 1-1
Forza AZ 1-2
$Trader 0-1

Now I have to hope that freyme beats $Trader and that $Trader beats Elwar in the last 2 games, so we have a 3 way tie for 2nd spot.

Actually if change the order of the tie break rule and the rule a bit we could actually see who would go thru to the next group
For the 4 player group the result that would affected is
either that we have a tie in for 1st/2nd/3rd and tie for 2nd/3rd/4th
for example in our group 1
Timminz having 3 win is the winner of the group
He go thru to the next round
Serbia, Spinwizard and me is tie

spinwizard wrote:3 player tie for 2nd/3rd/4th Round difference, the total rounds used to complete their games for each player, player with the lowest round difference comes second in the group

the rule could be change to
3 player tie Round difference, the total rounds used to complete their games for each player, player with the lowest round difference comes first

then Serbia and me is still tie on the lowest round difference, then if we use the following rule

spinwizard wrote:2 player tie for 2nd/3rd- the previous result between the players involved.

Serbia win our match he go thru to the next round

If spinwizard want to address Forza AZ concern
