Title: February ROOT Game Reports
Post by: Professoralstad on February 08, 2011, 09:32:00 PM

Post results from your official games here.
-Scores must be posted and confirmed by both players
-You can play up to six games in the initial two week period before Round-Robin week.
-Once a score is confirmed, that game counts for one of the allotted six for the initial 2-week period.
-You can only play each opponent once.

I will try to keep a table updated showing who has played whom for the month, and who you can still play. An O in your row and an opponent's column means that person is available for you to play him, and X means that person is not available. Once a person has six X's in his row, he is no longer available for anyone to play.

Available games:

	TH13	MPol	ad85	Red	Alex	mjw5	slug	TheG	CarlD

Defeated Pol 5-1...another game decided by Mayhem...

Title: Re: February ROOT Game Reports
Post by: Minister Polarius on February 18, 2011, 02:36:45 AM

Confirm. I'm starting to believe Mayhem is even worse for the game than NJ, and if anyone knows my stance on NJ, that's saying something.

The rest of the discussion has been moved to a different topic; please try to reserve this thread for reporting games. Thanks.

Defeated mjwaree 5-4. First turn Mayhem by me but it actually didn't have as much an effect in the end as we both decked out anyway and he had the lead early in the game.

Edit* I used a Plot also.

No, but a first turn Mayhem counts as a single reset in my book  ;) It wasn't as much of a first turn issue as it was a 6 or 7 turn soul drought issue. I have noticed that drawing lost souls on RTS is very hit or miss as of late.

Rankings updated to here.

The Round Robin championship week begins now, the following four people need to play the other three. The person with the most points at the end of the week (including the points earned up until now) wins. First tiebreaker is games played this week. There will be ghost points for those people whose opponents can't play, so please try to make an effort to play your games, and PM your opponents to set up your games.

Your game reports will still go here. Games need to be played by Sunday, February 27th, 11:59 PM PST.

The points should be reset. In the format information it said that the top four would play round-robin to determine the winner, not that the top four would all play either other again. There's basically no point in having a final cut if the points carry over from the qualifier.

Title: Re: February ROOT Game Reports
Post by: Alex_Olijar on February 21, 2011, 08:23:11 PM

I agree with Pol on that count.

Title: Re: February ROOT Game Reports

Defeated Pol 5-1 thanks to some fortuitous dominant-drawing.

Now that Guardian has won I feel the need to bring this up again. It is now impossible for anyone else to win. Even if I win my next 3 games and finish 5-0 and Guardian loses his next 2 games and finishes 5-3, he will win. I understand we are rewarding participation, but still, that doesn't seem right.

Well, Justin offered me 20 dollars to keep the format the way it is, so...sorry guys. He just really wants to win.

In all seriousness though, I had envisioned ROOT the way it was last summer, which I think had a similar format to this (top four faced off and kept previous points). However, I see how it makes things somewhat uncompetitive, so I will reset the points, since it wasn't clear how it worked. I doubt Justin will mind, since he will be forced to be competitive for his other games. And if he does have a problem, he can beat me up like he's been doing for the past 21 years of my life (BTW, I am 23; he didn't start until I was 2).

I'm not gonna throw a fit, but that's a poor argument when it states from the original post that even a Full Loss is worth 1 point. It makes absolute sense that I should win if I win 5 out of 8 and you win 5 out of 5 in that format.

The argument would be that I went 1-2 in the Round Robin round and you went 3-0, and I still win.
