Thanks for joining up! The match-ups will be posted shortly!

Next up, 32 player tourney. Same basic format, with the following changes-

32 players - anyone who is interested, please sign up. The registration period will end on Friday, October 28. If there are not 32 players signed up at that point I will extend until enough register or it proves futile, at which time it will drop back to a 16 player tourney. Again, I ask that anyone who signs up please do so only if you are sure that you will be able to finish your matches. If more than 32 people register, I will take into account forum participation, the number of games played on Isotropic and finally win average. My only goal is to have a successful, competitive tourney. All participants from the last tourney get an automatic entry if you would like to play again.

There will be 8 divisions of four players randomly seeded by ladder position, like before.

Players may play any format that they can agree upon so long as the games are randomly generated. First player to win four matches will move on. Ties are not considered a win or a loss for anyone.

I think the last tourney went swimmingly, but I am open to suggestion on any format changes, but the final decision on this matter will be mine to make. But please, if you have any ideas on how to make the tourney better, please make it in the next two days and I promise to consider all suggestions seriously..

I am hoping that some of you big time posters will play. Rob, Geronimoo, Tinas, Guided, WW, Tim, HME, DG, ack, chaosR, you lot. Put your reps on the line!

I didn't get to play?

ed: I'm new, I understand. I mostly play live which is why I haven't got that much of a backlog of games on isotropic.

Mean Mr Mustard · « **Reply #2 on:** September 20, 2011, 07:10:06 pm »

I'm sorry Buggz, I couldn't seed you because you are not on the leaderboard ladder.

Buggz · « **Reply #3 on:** September 21, 2011, 08:52:44 am »

How does that work? It says I'm level 1 when I'm logged in.

"Buggz" is not on there. Not really sure why you couldn't just be seeded last and play though.

Buggz · « **Reply #5 on:** September 21, 2011, 09:05:17 am »

Yes, I checked it and didn't find myself either, I'm just wondering if I missed something. But let's hope the tourney is a success and will result in more.

Mean Mr Mustard · « **Reply #6 on:** September 21, 2011, 09:40:30 am »

Look, tinas. No offense buddy, but go climb a rope. You have already voiced your displeasure twice, but I have not asked for your advise. If you want it your way go to burger king.

Congratulations michaeljb for advancing. Thanks to Mad Max for playing.

I will partake in discussions on the dominionstrategy forums as long as I am a member of the dominionstrategy forums. I do not need to be invited to give my input.

Mean Mr Mustard · « **Reply #9 on:** September 21, 2011, 10:26:58 am »

Oh, I am not questioning your right to speak, merely telling you that I am not interested in your opinion on this matter.

Thisisnotasmile · « **Reply #10 on:** September 21, 2011, 10:32:42 am »

Then ignore it. I'm still going to give it whether you like it or not.

The Adventurer · « **Reply #11 on:** September 21, 2011, 11:11:18 am »

Seems like I missed the sign up time for this event... how often is it held? I know it must be informal, but is there a way to get notified of future editions so I can be part of it?

He's really not out of line here. He didn't attack anybody. You did.

barsooma · « **Reply #13 on:** September 21, 2011, 01:00:35 pm »

Yeah well TINAS has been a downer on this whole topic from the start... he should really go enjoy his sour grapes elsewhere for a while.

Thisisnotasmile · « **Reply #14 on:** September 21, 2011, 01:10:04 pm »

The only negative thing I've said about this tournament is that I disagree with the default rules it is using and therefore I do not wish to take part. That does not exclude me from further discussion about the tournament or related matters. That does not mean that I think the tournament's host or any of its participants should die a horrible death for being involved. All it means is that I disagree with the default rules being used for the tournament, and therefore I do not wish to take part. If you have any personal issues with me, I would encourage you to take them up with me and/or the forum admins in private.

Congrats to CMiner... all interesting games, but I got handed a total beat-down matchscore-wise.

CMiner · « **Reply #16 on:** September 21, 2011, 01:19:08 pm »

Nah, the biggest lead I had was 10 points, still within a single province difference. Always very close, I thought. (Edit) Ah, matchscore-wise, nvm, thought you meant points in each game.

Was definitely fun, had to be careful each turn.

Mean Mr Mustard · « **Reply #17 on:** September 21, 2011, 07:08:06 pm »

Congratulations Cminer for the first upset of the tournament. Thanks to mith for playing!

Nice job on advancing, boloni. Thank you for playing, Jim.

michaeljb · « **Reply #19 on:** September 22, 2011, 03:31:54 pm »

Beginning to think every series will be 3-1

pooka · « **Reply #20 on:** September 22, 2011, 11:08:15 pm »

Just for you, I went 0 and 3 with barsooma. So Barsooma won, pooka eliminated. Unfortunately, we forgot the game logs but barsooma is going to post them when they come up in Council room. We did check all 3 boxes for the game conditions.

Overview, game 1 was a bridge/village engine by Barsooma, game 2 was a Talisman driven pile out I could have taken but I saw it too late, and game 3 was a race between my badly executed chancellor/stash stack vs. something I don't know how to describe except it had hunting party, conspirator and council room. Must have had a + buy in there somewhere. I learned a lot both preparing and playing,

Mean Mr Mustard · « **Reply #21 on:** September 23, 2011, 08:43:23 am »

Coming in as a severe underdog, Mergus brought his A game and barely lost in our closest match yet. Congratulations to you ehunt for advancing! Great games, fellas.

Mean Mr Mustard · « **Reply #22 on:** September 23, 2011, 08:56:03 am »

Barsooma dropped some bombs on pooka, including this gem:

#1 barsooma: 36 points (4 Provinces and 4 Duchies); 13 turns
opening: Silver / Bridge
[31 cards] 5 Bridges, 4 Villages, 3 Apprentices, 2 Havens, 1 Tactician, 6 Coppers, 1 Silver, 1 Gold, 4 Duchies, 4 Provinces

Excellent play! Thank you pooka for playing.

Anon79 · « **Reply #23 on:** September 23, 2011, 10:02:46 am »

Ouch pooka, a couple of brutal games in there, Barsooma demonstrating two very efficient engines in the first and third games. Hope it wasn't discouraging. You were right - second game Duchy/Spy/Spy on Turn 14 would have won it for you. Just curious though - why were you going second in the 2nd game?

(Interesting game that MMM pointed out though - on Barsooma's turn 5, I would have bought Tactician instead of a 2nd Apprentice. In fact I'm not sure whether I would even have bought Tactician on Turn 4...)

Brando Commando · « **Reply #24 on:** September 23, 2011, 11:37:33 am »

MMM, just to be fair, I think you ought to know my training regimen includes daily runs up the front steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. This has been a big sacrifice -- I live in Boston so the commute is killing me -- but well worth it, psychologically speaking.

This is a Rocky joke for anybody who...doesn't like Rocky.
