How do you know who is blue in a pair?

The player who is higher in the grid starts by choosing a template. The second player, from the two remaining templates, chooses which one to play. The player who is higher in the grid chooses which color to start with. The color changes after each subjective restart.

Dude, you'll be constantly picking the blue color in the evenings, won't you? :p

02.01.2014 Satyr (blue, swamp, Andra, Grindan) def. shameonyou (red, Citadel, Terek, Tamika) balance 113

Opponent Grindan has Griffin Conservatory boots, I have swamp, Tamika leveling Offense and a crap army. Decided not to drag it out. Thanks for the game...

02.01.2014 Toganash (blue, random Castle, Sorcha, Monere) def Lexmaster (red, Castle, Caitlin, Loynis), skirmish, 142

We both had one rest left and a mirror matchup occurred. But before the game we said nothing about rests with a mirror, and the opponent didn't take one. We play. At the respawn there's an external dwelling of archers, a stable, a level 4 Naga Bank and a level 1 Griffin Conservatory. Valessa is in the tavern with 2 stacks. On day 117 at the Necro respawn I free Monere level 5 with Expert Logistics and Offense - into the papyrus. Valessa on day 121 breaks the Conservatory, Monere takes the Naga Bank and runs to break 12 simple cats' ГО into the portal. Meanwhile, Loynis has 10 Knowledge showing and 5 spell power. I break into the opponent's respawn, take the Conflux, a minimal Dragon Fly Hive, and run back. I don't want to contend with Monere's 10 mana against Loynis, even though I have the advantage in army power. So we run around until the end of the game, wresting towns from each other, but since Monere is faster and stronger in army power, I still manage to take the Dragon Fly Hives, and by the Firebird, Monere has greatly surpassed the opponent, boosted spell power to 7, mastered Earth, learned Meteor Shower in the Mage Guild.
Thanks for the game.

02.01.2014 c0nn3c71nkK.ppL (red, Tower, Daremyth, Adelaide) def Heroin_HP (blue, Dungeon, Gunnar, Gunnar) balance 122

I took 2 restarts, opponent didn't. On week 1: external dwelling of mages, secondary Dungeon, Pandora's box with 5k gold, 1-4 in Citadel with a trade of 5 mercury. Adelaide went into the main, who right after Wisdom took Earth magic. On 121 partial Earth, Gnome dwelling with 5k gold, crypt with 5k gold, I approach the exit to the center. Scouting reveals the opponent, who jumps into the center, collecting gold. On 122 Earth everything possible, shuttle, I break into the center, maxing Earth and FB, at which point there were no chances left.
Thanks to the opponent for the game and time)

03.01.2014 Toganash (blue, random Citadel, Terek, Charna) def Simon5760 (red, Inferno, Ash, Moandor), Skirmish, 131

After 1 restart on my side and the opponent, Citadel came up with a rich respawn, so I decided to play. On the first week, bears were in the fort, and from day 117, Charna started quickly farming bone dragons. On day 127, I burst into the red's respawn through a portal that was visible from the vision of my respawn, but I don't reach the main, limiting myself to taking a Necro village. On the next turn, I take the red's main. I already had 200-odd bone dragons and the enemy surrenders, because there's practically nowhere to go, and the Wyverns he had gathered weren't enough to counter the bone dragons.
Thanks for the game.

03.01.2014 HellLighT(blue, Castle, Sorsha, Müllich/Astral) def Wladysha(red, Inferno, Marius) Skirmish 135

I fought off all the rests with some crappy setups. I had a decent amount of gold, but lacked wood for cavalry. On the bright side, I had 2 external Archer dwellings, I patched together a stack of 70 from the second one, and then Müllich arrived, broke through a portal into the opponent's treasure zone, and there he was himself. I caught him, he had a bit of everything. Immediate surrender, I took all the villages, but didn't go for the capital — he managed to build a Citadel. I quickly got wiped in the treasure zone, there was a Pandora's Box with 5k experience. Astral, expert Air and Archery, with growth on the third Marksmen boosting them to almost 90. The opponent takes back one of the villages where the final battle happens. By that point I had built the fifth Mage Guild, it gave Air Elementals, I had Resurrection and Lightning Bolt for 200+, plus Mass Haste, and then there were Oil and Sultans. They almost cut down all my meatshields, but even if that mess with Summon Elementals had played out, I would have ended up in the Tavern and the opponent's hero would have disappeared. Thanks for the game.
