Title: help! we need to decide whether to replay or grant a winner
Post by: soulnet on December 22, 2014, 12:44:57 pm

Gamesou and me were playing the 5th game of our match when Goko went down just now. We need to decide whether one of us was far ahead enough to grant it the win or to replay (grant a tie seems pretty lame):

Supply: Market Square, Sage, Feodum, Trader, XXX, Baker, Library, Goons, Bank, Peddler
no Colonies and no Shelters

(I don't remember XXX, but it was not too relevant, if gamesou remembers, I will edit this post)

This is the state of the game when the system went down:
I finished 5 turns (1p), gamesou finished 4 turns
my deck: 5 silvers, 3 traders, 1 goons, 7 coppers, 1 estate
gamesou's deck: 2 traders, 2 sages, 3 silvers, 2 estates, 7 coppers

Please, help us decide whether one of us deserves the win because it was a lot far ahead or whether a replay is due.

Note: the posted partial result (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=11422.msg449379#msg449379) does not include this game.

Replay.

Edit: And I think the biggest issue is, even if I think one player is up significantly, that's because I think their strategy was better at the start - the game isn't developed enough for "X is way ahead" to be significantly enough diverged from that.

I think replay, 5 turns isn't enough to decide a winner, in my opinion.

I think that the only time you wouldn't do a replay is if one player was ready to resign anyway. I don't think I would resign after 4.5 turns before either player had even started greening.

Definitely replay.

In these situations, if neither player feels like conceding then replaying is the only thing to do.

What everyone else said.  Replay it.

WanderingWinder did, so I don't see how that can possibly be true.
