Hotseat Tournament

[Askthepizzaguy]

I don't know. The HRE does pretty well even while excommunicated. They could easily storm south and hand the Pope his own head on a platter. All those castles... knights... peasant archers... spearmen... generals... whew... Easy KO of Milan and taking Venice...

But yes, any Muslim faction versus the papacy, and the Pope might as well pack up his little pointy hat and go back to Germany.

[Csargo]

EF I'm ready to go whenever you are. I'd prefer using the LotR mod if possible.

[rossahh]

Ignoramus I'll play either BC 1.5 or Vanilla 1.3 as I don't LTC. I would prefer BC because it is way better than Vanilla though.



I take it that it would be easier if the competitons were played by email rather than use the org uploader.

[Askthepizzaguy]

MUCH easier.

Using that uploader is a pain in the Rumpelstiltskin.

And its better because you dont have to clog up the server with unnecessary files or each other's PM box which is limited in size

[rossahh]

Ignoramus, your inbox is full but I'll go Georgia. So we have:

BC 1.05
Abassid Caliphate (Ignoramus) vs Kingdom of Georgia (rossahh).


I'll set it up later tonight and pass the first save along.

okay....but wont the hordes of almost free GBs make it a little easy?

Besides that's not on the official mod list

edit:and ATPG, if all goes well I'll play my Duel turn today, at last!!

[Csargo]

Well it's either that or vanilla. Take your pick

[Askthepizzaguy]

and ATPG, if all goes well I'll play my Duel turn today, at last!!

Good, ever since our last conversation I've just been aching to go one-on-one with you. Last time you just kind of ditched me halfway through and you know how frustrated that makes me.





We should really confine that to the LoTR threads, though...

[Ferret]

Of course ATPG, I'll go one on one any time you want

[Csargo]

Gonna have to drop out. Computer doesn't load anymore.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I recommend EF become paired with FactionHeir now, since they are both available and unpartnered.

[Ferret]

FH...

[Askthepizzaguy]

Meh, dont worry, he could always take Sicily again and he will be a pushover. A pussycat. A soft, adorable plush toy. No army of assassins whatsoever. What are you worried about?

[FactionHeir]

I don't mind either way, but I only play unmodded 1.3 or my own mod

Byblos

So where is Byblos??

Too scared to meet me??

Does this mean that I win and go to the next round??

[Askthepizzaguy]

I've left the pairing arrangements up for a while, I would like everyone who is participating to contact their partner within the week.

Send a polite pm asking if they are ready. In a week's time, I will personally contact all the stragglers.

Good luck, and show no mercy.

The Lemongate


Updated the tournament list. In a couple days I will send pm's prompting everyone to contact their partners and begin play.

This is a fairly informal tournament, so there's no rush.

The Lemongate, our official tournament duel has begun. This is admin disabled, password enabled, BC 1.5 with hotfixes, Ayyubids versus Khwarezm as agreed.

To all:

Please post all tournament saves here, in this format. Also, please send passwords to TinCow, assuming he's still willing to umpire.

Should there be any disruptive or suspicious behavior, TinCow has permission to look at the saves. Sorry, we've had cheaters before. Not here, but elsewhere.

Play fair, and fight well!





EDIT: ALL PLAYERS HAVE BEEN PAIRED UP AND CONTACTED. Please acknowledge your participation in the duel or drop out now.

[Ramses II CP]

Okay Monk, I'm not particular about which mod or what-not, but I don't currently have LTC installed and I don't have Kingdoms. Vanilla, SS 4.1, and BC 1.05 with hotfixes are what I have installed. What I propose is whichever one of us picks the mod then has to pick their country first (Presuming picking second is an advantage, as it generally would be).

Does that sound reasonable? Which one do you want to do?

[Monk]

Hm. Well I haven't done a vanilla hotseat game, but i'll need to install that again as I don't have a fresh vanilla install. I'd rather steer clear of BC 1.05 for this go so I really don't mind the install. patch 1.3 i'm guessing, or is it 1.2 for non-kingdoms? Blegh, i have forgotten.

If we go vanilla then i'll take England, the classic.

[Ramses II CP]

Yeah, vanilla is fine with me. England eh? IIRC we weren't going to do too close together, like England/France? If not France, I'll have to go Muslim, in which case it has to be Egypt.

Since England is the first in the turn order I believe you'll have to create the initial save with the hotseat settings turned on. GL!

[FactionHeir]

Waiting for EF to accept and create the game still.

[Merlox]

Only 7 starting seats, at the next round, some body is going to sit with out a game! May I vs the odd man in the next spot please? (To make it all interesting ofcourse, )

[Ferret]

Waiting for EF to accept and create the game still.

I have accepted, no one told me I had to start the game...

[Askthepizzaguy]

it honestly doesnt matter who starts the game.

I could start all of your games for you and send you the save files. Just tell me what version, faction, etc.

Whomever goes first gets the first save is all. No biggie.

[FactionHeir]

I have accepted, no one told me I had to start the game...

Didn't any PM saying you are alright with my choice

Since you are England, you are player1, so I figure you should create

[Askthepizzaguy]

^Like I said, it doesnt matter who creates. My brother could create it...

So long as you've both agreed, and you have, whoever is online could easily create the game, and as soon as England's turn pops up, either play it or save the file and ship it off.

[Ferret]

Well can someone point me at the hotseat code at least, I can't actually remember how to start one

If you can do it ATPG, we're being England and France on vanilla.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I'm back from my vacation so I am ready to start this duel ...

I pm-d Byblos but no responses from him

[Monk]

It begins. England vs Egypt for Monk vs Ramses II CP. If you wanted France more I'll remake the game, it's only turn 1!
