oppening bids
given how the opening turn works in Greece, would it be possible to play the classic map where everyone can bid on opening territories, rather then being assigned some?

I have a problem
Today I can't save or finalize my orders. After few seconds i push save or fnlz, the page becomes blank; you can wait hours but, although the Mozilla circle spins, nothing happens. So I reloaded the main page and tried again. I tried 10 times unsuccessful, then I tried saving 1 unit per time. Sometime it works, but it took 1 hour to complete a 9 units game. Help! Any advice?

Sengoku Discussion?
Hi. I'm interested in trying out a Sengoku game after I'm done with the game I'm in now. I'd like to read up a little about folks' experiences first, though, and I can't find any discussion here. If you've played one of these variants before, sound off and let me know what you thought.

check if starting two games at once accomplishes that. I remember before the crash I got a couple of double live games going and the games ended up giving us each country.

crap, you forgot rox on that list fasces... if ashley is out, we are still at 12, if not, we are at 13 and need one more... which means I have to reshuffle my sheet...

yes, set em up for full day phases so itl start automatically, and that way In case of emergency I can leave... so yea, set up a couple for us.
If there is any more room I would like to join.
butterhead (1272 D)
15 May 11 UTC
ask fasces... if he listens to my suggestion, we have a cut off of 12(if ashley is out and rox is in) or 14 if they are both in... if its 14, you would be the last one to get in...

Are we going to play all games at once? That will be a lot if time commitment.
butterhead (1272 D)
15 May 11 UTC
I doubt it... probably back to back... most of the people don't have between 110 and 120 D to put in to 22-23 games at once... it will probably be like, say me vs you 2 times(once at each country) etc. etc... so 2 at a time probably.
Guaroz (2030 D (B))
15 May 11 UTC
If there is any more room I would like to join, too.
If we're too much, maybe we could split competitors in 2 preliminary heats?
If we're 14 each heat would be 7 players. Each one plays against the other 6 (double round robin) and top 4 advance...
tt612 (1404 D)
15 May 11 UTC
having divisions might be interesting. when we reach the finals it gives the competitors a chance to play someone new
butterhead (1272 D)
15 May 11 UTC
my sheet is going out da window...lol. we are at 14 now unless Rox wants out... hmm... Guaroz does make a decent point, 26 games each is a lot of games... 2 heats would make it a little easier... oh fasces... where are you???

I'm in only if we play ita vs ger as first (cause i think f vs a is not equilibrate)
and I didn't understand: 2 games now 1 with ger 1 with ita and total sc count counts or what is the format?
tt612 (1404 D)
15 May 11 UTC
we're talking at least two games, give both players the chance at each country.
RoxArt (1732 D)
15 May 11 UTC
so then it has to be total sc count or double win...?
myrmidon (798 D)
15 May 11 UTC
I think it should just be number of wins throughout games...
tt612 (1404 D)
15 May 11 UTC
we're still waiting for Fasces to come in and give his opinions.
I don't see total count working out because the wins will likely be 18 or 19, I would hope there's strong enough competition to not let them get away with much more.
RoxArt (1732 D)
15 May 11 UTC
well if you do 2 games its hard if both win 1... and if you do 3 games its not fair cause 1 of the players gets 2 times "the better" country....
RoxArt (1732 D)
15 May 11 UTC
so how you want to do that? 2 out of 3 and something like the "home" player can chose which country he wants twice...?
butterhead (1272 D)
15 May 11 UTC
I think that it would be how ever many total wins you have... instead of center count...
also, I think since we have such interest, maybe we do it like this... 16 players, 2 heats...
8 players in A, 8 players in B
top 4 from A round 1 move on, top 4 from B round 1 move on
top 2 from A round 2, top 2 from B round 2
top player from each play for the finals...
butterhead (1272 D)
15 May 11 UTC
also, each player would play every other player exactly twice per round... once as each country(trying to talk to Oli about this now so we can set it up properly).
RoxArt (1732 D)
15 May 11 UTC
and finals best of 7!? :D
myrmidon (798 D)
15 May 11 UTC
even if the two players both get a win it doesnt matter... it is total wins out of the entire tourny (or heat) and if there are any ties we can just have a tiebreaker series or something
fasces349 (1007 D)
15 May 11 UTC
Ok, I am closing now, no more entries...

It will be a sorta round robin where you play people probably 3 times. The 8 people with the best record (wins give 3 D, draws give 1 point) will make it to the playoffs. Best of 5 for each series is the playoffs.

During the games the players are allowed to decide which 1 v 1 they play, if they come to agreement then they play that one, if not it will be G v I, as that is the most balanced. (but it may get kinda boring if we have nothing but one map...)

I will be doing some pm runs tonight to confirm entries and sometime next week I will release the schedule. For each game, I will post the week that it should start, so the people are not forced down by time constraints.
fasces349 (1007 D)

edit: I like butterheads suggestions of heats...
myrmidon (798 D)

play 3 times? what about having someone get the ""better" country?

New Variant
I don't know anything about making variants, but i think it would be awesome if someone created a space exploration variant where you might need different type of ships to move across space instead of boat and armies. and instead of covvoy its more like a hyper drive or something like that. space travel variant would be so cool

Italy vs. Germany
Does anyone have a large list of opening moves or styles to this Variant. What I have noticed so far is that its really easy to win as Germany if you know what you are doing and when you do have a Germany who knows what he's doing it can be very challenging to win as Italy.
