Battlezone 1

It's March and phase 1 is finished.

In phase 2, like always, defeated player has to report the loss (along with map and host), but from now on victory has to be confirmed too. That should disable the ability of someone reporting 14 losses that never occured and easy gain of 14 points. If victory wasn't confirmed with a screenshot, defeated player can ask for a rematch.

Due 5 needed players in Division B, even those who didn't have enough games in division C, went through (minimum was 5 instead of announced 7). Don't think that such unprofessional behaviour will work again. Each stage has more and more serious players, so every missing game will work against you from now on.

Unfortunately for Chippy, he lost 2 points earned on Die who got disqualified. That put Assman in front of him due having 1 victory more.

Poor chippy i still think he deserves it more to be in the b section then assman
but due the fact that die ooneysius didnt try his tourney games chippy loses his 7th game + him going through to section b i still think that chippy and assman should have somekind of runner up match over this because it seems unfair to me

RICEJE

i just am excited about the fact that assman will finally hafta strat me instead of lobby me.

good job all advancees!

Looks like I made it to Division B, even though I was likely missing too many games to advance normally.

Now I just might be in trouble, I am facing the next level of players!

See you tomorrow for Division B games!

yay spork congrats!

i will be joining you for those games, although idk how well ill do....

played my games against Spork. first was his choice on Theatre o' Pian and the second was my choice on Corner Pockets. He won both.

the first one on theatre we ended up making bases really close together. I lost 2 lives in the chaos back and forth. Finally spork overwhelmed me with too many units. I lost my production units in his final attack, and i got killed by spork in his walker as i tried to snipe him.

second game on corners i quickly controled the scrap and pushed spork into one of the corners. i attacked his base and killed his production units but i lost 2 lives in the process. Spork had also lost 2 lives, and then he sniped my last 1.

GGs:):):)

I beat furykiller twice.

Game 1: I pick map; Theater of Pain.
NSDF vs NSDF

I start out a bit slow, but advance and find furykiller advancing towards me. He comes to attack and I have no AI support. I begin building a scout and tank and I eject him, and ward off his wingmen. He keeps the pressure on bringing more units, and I build my force and keep scrapping them. Well now I have a big scrap pile and my scavs are eating it up. I make an APC and send it to attack recycler, 6 wingmen guard recycler and a miner mining, and I run off to my armory to grab upgrades, then return to my recycler. The APC returns and reloads, I send it out again. Furykiller sets up 2 howies, and I move quickly to take them out myself, and build another APC and send it to his factory. I bring in my wingmen and they finish off his base. Somewhere in the chaos, he dies twice. I build a walker and return to base, and enter the walker. Sure enough, there's furykiller in a snipe position. I kill him. Game Over. GG.


Game 2: He picks map; Corner Pocket
NSDF vs NSDF

I start out collecting scrap quickly, but play too defensively and nearly get killed off. Furykiller launches an assault on my base and kills me, but my defenses manage to scrap him, and he dies, probably from my minefield. I try to hop directly back to base and die again. Only 1 life left for me, 2 for furykiller. I recycled my factory to build scavs, then rebuilt factory. I go around the long way, while preparing bombers. I return to base and get myself a tank. Fury comes with a massive attack with upgrades for the AI, and my base is gone. I am floating down from being ejected and air snipe furykiller out of his tank and take it. I then proceed to steal a scavenger and head towards his base. He spots me, I retreat, luring him towards my old base. He is shooting me in the scav, and I make a daring hop into the empty tank. If I had missed the tank the terrain would have killed me. He loses track of me and destroys the scav. I hop out and snipe off his final life. Phew. Good game.

After I killed him, I said "gg" nanoseconds before the green screen appeared, which likely caused buffer corruption. I normally don't get that error at all.

Unfortunately I didn't get any in-game ss, I was too busy playing. Next time, I will grab video and makes ss from it if necessary. Fury, if you got any ss, I think 1 from each game should be posted.

EDIT: I had posted wrong ss for game 1. Proper ss is there now.

Although my favorite was Chippy, I can't find anything questionable in Assman advancing.

Who's better decider:
1. points
2. games won
3. games played
4. mutual games
5. games against those who qualified for the next round
6. classification in previous division
7. 3rd game

I thought 1 point for a defeat would force everybody to play their games, but I was wrong. If Chippy had played 1 more game with let's say Simmdc and even lost, he would have gone through with 1 point above Assman. But he didn't. If Chippy had played 1 more game with Assman and even lost, Spork wouldn't advanced due being the only one with 5 played games. But that didn't happen either.

I'm doing my best in making this tourney legit, but since 2 are needed to play the game there will always be issues in these lower divisions, where anybody can participate.

New rules:
You should play at least 1 game with each opponent before advancing to the next stage. If that doesn't happen, depending on who back off, one player will be given -1 point, other +2. JonBlund and Fly will help me to decide. That should disable calculating and avoiding those who you think you can't beat.

Play off games will be played in 1.5 even if Ken doesn't finish it on time.

Also, don't forget the same map rule mentioned before, which starts applying now: for example, Dominant can't pick Theater when playing Simmdc in a division stage cause he already did that once. In case they reach the playoffs, any map is allowed again.

Just played my first game of this tourney. It was against Hyperfighter on Citadels (my choise). Was a very GG that HF won. I will upload my vid later.

GG!

Here's mine. A GG it was.

Here is my vid and a SS of the game.

Part 1.


Part 2.

Greetings. Tourney time! Division B please report to the lobby!

I might have to leave the library early today due to weather. There's snow, and we don't like to drive home in snow. There's no guarantee that I will be here as long as I normally would be.

EDIT: The snow is really bad outside, I have to go home early. I normally stay until 21:00 GMT-7, but I am leaving now, at 17:46 GMT-7 I apologize for the inconvenience. See you next week.

Last night Assman decided to go back to his inappropriate behaviour and ban few players when entering games. I hope he had fun and that it was worth it, cause of today he's banned for breaking server rules and his place on the tournament is given to Chippy.

Chippy, 1/3 of the month is gone, but you were without the PC most of the time anyway and it's not like others were doing any gaming in the meantime. Hope you'll be able to catch up.

Just found out tourney was over, then i was back in!
what luck?! Thanks Kyle.
My computer is back, (new) so I should be good to go.
Any body wanna game look for in the am hours, CST usa.
Monday through Friday.
Good to be back, you can all breathe now, lol.

Just finished off my second game against HF. This time it was on The Compass (his choise) and again he won. It was a fast and intense game. My second life was lost at my base (never moved from spawn) and HF could’ve finished the game off, but did the honorable thing of letting me take a tank before going after me again.

GG!
