Posts from The Hunger Games

Me and Sting finished the game, but I don't have time to write a report right now.

You have time to play every day and write in every topic. And in general, sometimes I just want to kill such players. They played, and then the organizers have to bother everyone to find out if they actually played (Hey, God :D). In general, you should cancel the game a couple of times for this, or better yet, add a rule that the winner must provide a report no later than 24 hours after the game. IMHO.

play every day and post in every topic – you have the time.
And honestly, sometimes you just want to kill players like that. They played, and then the organizers have to go around asking everyone if they actually played (Year, hello :D). In general, they should cancel the game a couple of times for something like that, or better yet, add a rule that the winner must provide a report within 24 hours of the game being played. IMHO.

You would do better to keep track of the tournament and deadlines like qualified organizers, and set deadlines for those who are delaying them. As for our game, there are probably still 3-4 weeks left until the winners' final, so I don't understand why all the comments are directed at me, and besides, the event will look more epic if someone other than me describes it :cool:

We have encountered a problem in our game. Last week, we started a game and played until turn 122. At that point, Javdet killed Rebellious in the center, but since it was late, Marader-kisa went to sleep immediately after that. We had preliminarily agreed on a time for Thursday at 18:00 Moscow time. Today, Rebellious comes and claims that no one agreed with him and that he doesn't have time to play, but he will continue to play and will only play at the time stipulated in the regulations. I request that a date for the continuation of the game be set, or that a decision be made based on the save file. Please also take into account that I will not be able to play on November 30th (and possibly December 1st) due to a valid reason, as it is my birthday and I will not be in the mood to play.

I’d like to add that we were playing with passwords, and when we got together as a group of three today, we couldn’t continue the game.

rebellious, we're waiting for you on December 2nd, in the evening.

It's his birthday, so he won't have time to play.

Hello, this is the PokerStars support service. Please send a scan of your passport details so that we can verify your information:D

I would add that we were playing with passwords, and when we gathered together today, there was no way to continue.

18.11.13 =Stinger=(red, Fortress, Tazar)+Darkello(green, Stronghold, Gretchin) def HellLight(blue, Necropolis, Galhtran)+Slayzer(tan, Conflux, rnd) JC 122

Since Darkello is very busy in other sections and can't find time to write a post, I'll do it.
On 111 in the refuge a titan, 2 external dwellings of hydras, a Griffin Conservatory, plenty of gold, there are Dwarven artifacts.
On 113 I discovered 3 Griffin Conservatories at the respawn, fought for a shield + 3/3, picked up a Town Portal scroll, building a guild.
Took the external dwellings of hydras on 114 and on 115 a tier-3 Griffin Conservatory with Grand Elves, running to the ГО, along the way also fought for a Cloak of Magic, Tazar with Offense, Earth Magic, and Tactics.
With secondary heroes I gathered the Griffin Conservatories 2+1, a Dragon Fly Hive for 8 Wyverns, and Tazar in the center, broke through the ГО of Darkello, who gave me his artifacts.
At his respawn I visit the Library and Well, then in the center appears Galhtran with not very good parameters and also mediocre power.
On 122 I run to him, standing in the central dungeon.
Thanks for the game.

On 122 I reach him, standing in the central dungeon.
Thanks for the game.

I confirm. By artifacts, I meant helmet +6 all, cloak +2+2, gloves of speed, some sword, rings, morale banners :D
and it resulted in a crazy Tazar, with gauntlets, boots, stable, stats, army, and Cloak of Untainted Royalty :)

Javdet (blue, Castle, Valya, Luna) vs Redwhait HP (green, Necropolis, Gosha) def marader-kisa (red, Tower, Nelka) vs rebellious (brown, Dungeon, Shakti)
Jebus 122

Since Marader and Rebe had already played several games together, it was necessary to propose an alliance to Javdet, which, as it turned out, suited both of us in principle.
My setup didn't go well; I found a long loop with a level 2 Griffin Conservatory on it right away but didn't take it, and instead claimed it after a Pandora's Box with 80 zombies.
The lo-priests spread out; I picked up secondary heroes and discovered two more Griffin Conservatories — they turned out to be level 2 and level 3.
I took those as well, plus a Dragon Fly Hive with 8 Wyverns and 2 Wild Wyverns in a refuge.
Along the way, I supplied gold for Angels because I had a decent amount, and his setup was chocolatey with an external dwelling of birds and a bunch of Griffin Conservatories.
On day 122, I reached the center, which Javdet controls. I managed to take two more Pandora's Boxes on week 7 for a Titan that dealt a good amount of damage to the meat — 10+20k experience. Afterwards, I was planning to break through marader's GO of Trolls and we would kill him together, since Pit, who was replacing Rebellious, was no longer an obstacle. But my power went out, and while it was off, everything was resolved peacefully, and the opponents waved the white flag.
Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game!

Luna, level 5, finished the game from the Dungeon. Although, if I had lost in the Angel's Encampment, it's unknown how it would have ended.

Thanks for the game.

I confirm. Since the postponement to the first mandatory time was not initiated by Redwhait HP, we played with passwords, and rebellious (who had already effectively lost the game and acknowledged defeat in ICQ during a conversation with Vitaly) could not play at the time agreed upon by the other players. By decision of the referee, I replaced him in the last one and a half days and helped his ally as much as I could (but I could only help with resources), but this no longer mattered.

Next up is our only possible match:
Javdet vs Redwhait HP vs The_ vs Gomunguls.
Deadline - until December 17th.

Also, I want to say about the deadlines for the previous game – yes, there was a delay; we didn't keep track, and Vitaly acknowledges our shortcomings. This may be due to the fact that he mostly plays in the upper bracket, and I don't remember any case in any tournament where he wouldn't meet the deadlines and needed to be pushed and monitored. He also did not allocate real-time for monitoring deadlines even in this tournament, which I warned about at the very beginning of the tournament when Новичок unexpectedly fell on me. Nevertheless, it is necessary for players to show initiative themselves and not passively wait for organizers to warn them, negotiate, and persuade them.
Regarding the regulations, we also agree that it might have been better if the draw for each round were random so that the formula for advancing to the next round would be different, and something else, somehow, however, it is too late to change the regulations now. If such a tournament takes place again, then all mistakes will naturally be taken into account.

16.12.13 Javdet (brown, necro, gosha) vs Redwhait HP (blue, dungeon, Shakti) def The_ (red, castle, Valya, Tyras) vs Gomunguls (green, swamp, Taz) Jebus
125

It all started when Vitaly surprised us on the spawn by picking swamp first.
We took dungeon and necro for ourselves.
Everything went well for me from the start.
111 — I put down a guild and took a Pandora's Box with 45 harpies. Then I also grabbed a mini Griffin Conservatory.
112 — scouted 2 Dragon Fly Hives; one horde, didn't attack yet.
113 — I enter the second one without checking; it's maxed :smile13:
114 — the second Dragon Fly Hive is also taken; I have 19 Dragon Flies; the miner got an armor piece and Earth magic.
115 — the noobs take the 2nd mini Griffin Conservatory; the miner is preparing to head to the center, but Earth magic unfortunately didn't get leveled up in time.
116 — I go to the center, having killed 20+ Black Knights; right in the center there's a castle; I spread out there, take a Sword +6 behind the griffins and a level 10 Christian.
On the same turn, Roma also came out, and we cleared the center together.
I also grabbed a Cuirass and a Gladius of the Titan, a Pandora's Box with 10 cavalry and 15k XP; I leveled Wisdom and Air magic. Roma with a Level 5 cap wandered off-road and collected whatever he could, preparing to receive artifacts and kill everyone.
On my second turn, I took a mini Dragon Utopia with a Gold Golem in my area. At this point, the opponents come out simultaneously. Taz has nothing serious, but Tyras showed up with 1-4 Archangels in 7 stacks and sat in the central castle the next turn. I set up GM2 at home; my Bolt is at 525, I have Oil and Mass Haste; I try to check for Shackles of War and Sphere of Negation with weak units; both times morale triggers on the Archangels, and I couldn't see either, but I can see he has only 3 mana and I reveal the army he has.
Stats 24/11 for the miner vs 15/18 for Tyras.
My army consists of 37 Dragon Flies, 2 Angels, 10 Horses, 60+ individual Troglodytes and a Pikeman, 1+8 Archangels, 49 Griffin Conservatory griffins, 19 Dragon Flies, 74 Marksmen, a couple of Swords and Spears +2 Speed.
After the battle, in which magic decided the outcome, the opponents surrender.

Thank you all for the game.

It's a shame that the individual tournament turned into a regular 2v2, where both players give up immediately after the first battle. I hope the final will at least be interesting.
