I know ubc pretty well. I doubt he would miss on purpose. "Defective dice" is how the CC gods even things out for going first in 5 out of 5. Well, at least if you are the one going 2nd you hope that is what will happen.

I hope you're right. Either way, it's done and I'm not going to pursue it further. It's just not worth it.

Well, that is not what the Legion is about. We like to talk shit and such, but I will not tolerate that kind of thing if it was intentional.

I'm just going off of speculation because he had played some turns throughout the day, but missed the Rail Europe games. I don't know how many games he plays at a time, where he's playing from, or how much time he is on the site during the course of a day, so it is completely possible he just missed. You know him better than I do, so I'll let you be the judge of it.

kudos cheme. I think we should drop this line of discussion - I for one am going to trust that Legion will consider whether it was intentional and handle it internally, just like jefjef and megas would if it was a KOA member. Speculating about it here isn't going to help, and besides its much more fun to talk about how KOA is going to take out our home games 20-0

I'll be happy with 15 home series wins

I spoke with ubc. He missed other games as well. I believe that it was not intentional. Sorry for the misunderstanding everyone.

We've got quite a few wins coming down the pipes, dont be too disappointed if we make a run for the title

I see at least 8 wins in the end for KOA on Legion's home games.

IcePack

In keeping with the spirit that i have observed so far in this forum .....

You guys put me up against ...

Username:
Maverick0711
Rank: Private 1st Class
Score: 1076
Games: 1926 completed, 553 (29%) won

just from looking at this can you see your ERROR !!!

a PRIVATE against a MAJOR with over 9700 games under his belt AND with a 56% win ratio
I have WON more games than OVER TWICE his TOTAL GAMES COMPLETED !!!!

so needless to say I WON 5 of the 5 on Route 66 !!! He was a great combatant, had great spirit, didn't get down with the overwhelming odds against him........give the brave little fella a salute!!!




Gordito!!

You do realize most of you are capt / major, and he'd be playing vs most who have more experience?
Congrats on your wins, but if KOA player wants to play we won't sit him out just cuz he's against a major.

Doesn't look like too bad of match up to me...?

As I contemplate how some people could find so much victory and joy from an internet game with dubious randomness it occurred to me that this is real life to some of them and the victories here are the only victories they have in life. So go ahead and thump your chests and scream from on high how damn good you are, belittle who you will, cherish scripted random and be as unsportsmanlike as you can! Be proud! You have discovered manhood and successfully avoided reality! Too bad you don't get a shiny E medal for it.

Maverick is quality people. He is a sold player. He was an officer not very long ago. That was before random reared it's head. I also see he is listed as a brawler. Not some farming point hoarder.

We joined this meaningless challenge just for fun. Nothing else.

Thank you IcePack! Good job running this war for us!

Thank you scottp! Good job running this thread!

Got my Draknor win, 3-2.
Just barely - he's pretty good!

gj FM...you are gonna have to make up for me getting my butt handed to me!

Actually, the clan that wins the tournament might get a clan achievement medal.

"What is, things losers say?" Alex Trebeck "Right you are!"

Careful chem....No one called him a loser and gordito started it.

noone plays wars for "might win a medal"

So was Theodor Morell...

Does that depend on who wins? Up to the clan directors is it? Thought clans are about team play - not loner. Well if they honor this 1v1 with a medal CC would almost have to allow 1v1 in regular wars to also qualify for medals.

Cute. Do not be confused on what game we are playing. Jeopardy is a game of knowledge requiring properly worded responses and a little speed. The beautiful game of Chess is a game of strategy. CC is a wonderful game of electronic randomness with a smidgen of strategy.

Congrats to mviola on the random set AND Rail Europe set AND Rail Australia set

Congrats to chapcrap on New world! 3 wins - 1 loss - 1 ongoing

Yep, mviola is your MVP in this one. Looks like we are going to eek this out but KUDOS to KoA for making this one so close. I know they don't care about winning...but it was still a great effort on their part. Of course, we are not counting our chickens before they hatch. Keep the pedal down boys and girl!

Woo Goo.

Yeah I had 4 series, all were great opponents and competition fierce.
Some still undecided, I can't complain about things to much. A couple turns of bad dice and Legions players capitalized & got the dice when they needed it which shows their talent.

I'm guessing my series will be split, 2-2.

Great effort, my count is 18 Legions 12 KOA with others I haven't looked at / followed.
But with those #'s unless all the ones I haven't followed are wins for us, I'm afraid it'll be a high teens KOA low-mid 20's Legion.

Agreed tho, can't count before they hatch. A series I thought was locked up 4-1 tanked and lost so clearly can't count on anything around here lol

IcePack

After a hard fought series...KOA takes waterloo 3-2...and i'm exhausted and in need of alcohol refreshment!

Siege! series also goes to KOA with a 3-2 victory.

DS

congrats to Severance for his win in the tie-breaker. Well done.

Also, kudos to mviola, MegasWoman ,and DresdenSooner whose performances have stood out to me as I review the tallies. All very competitive series, with good showings on both sides.

Thank you Scott-that was very sweet!

Why are you even here, GO? This has nothing to do with you.

On another note, I managed to lose my series on Das Schloss 0-5. I even thought I had one game in the bag for sure and let it slip away. Respect crbluth!
