Takashi, thanks for explanation. If it was not setting, please accept my apologies. I got carried away anger at the mess in the tournament. Although I believe that your opponent behaved inappropriately. I know that was strange situtaion and I also don't know what I would do. It is way that this situ...

I don't want to talking in vain here. I think everything has already been written. I'll probably write something more when this farce called the tournament is over. However, I don't understand how you can, knowing that there are problems with accruing 500 points for winning with defenders, do nothin...

It is easy. Look at Adell77 points as defender: 1272, enemy only 101, but only for victory hexes can be obtained 1350, and where points for victory (500), and for enemy losses?

Something is wrong, but for this tournament it is normal...

I guess I'm a little confused by what they posted then: Round 3.....Game 1...Game 2......Total Dzidek.........248.......955...........1203 runyan99......976........45 T..........1021 This looks to me as though your Game as the attacker was Game 2. Game 1 - I as attacker. Game II - I as defender. Be...

The algorithm they use to split points--e.g. 82% goes to winner and 18% to loser based on partial results is probably pretty decent. They gave you 95.5% of the point pool in that single game--it clearly indicates they felt you were dominating. They are simply not applying their factor to the proper...

As if not counting, this tournament cannot be brought back to justice. (bad pairings). I don't care anymore, now I'm just curious how low I will drop in the table. For me, unfinished matches should be judged by the judges from Slitherine and they would decide on the addition of points for control po...

This is unfortunate news. An analysis is only as good as the accuracy of its data. If the posted match results aren't accurate with respect to whether the matched timed out things get a lot more difficult. I know my three matches timed out and it was accurately reflected. Was there anything strange...

Thanks Trepko I also explained my point of view before. You propositions seem reasonable. Edmon we want to help. I think that everyone cares about improving the tournament, but Slitherine as organizer should lead the way. Several issues have been raised by players, and there is no response to them (...

Perhaps I am not explaining this very well. You are asking for us to remove and punish people who don't play, before they have even played. How is that possible? Maybe some misunderstanding, my English is not very good. Of course is imposible to ban people befere they start playing in tournament, b...

You've moved the goal posts to cheaters, from people who are simply not playing or have decided to stop playing after playing. Cheaters once detected, will be removed immediately. Some cheating is not apparent until enough odd behavior has been detected over several games, however. It's not that we...

I said in the post that you are replying to that people that don't play can be removed over time. When? I have hope that not after 12 rounds:) There is no way to prevent someone not playing the 1st or 2nd round or to prevent them from stopping playing at any point in an unknown tournament. Your mai...

This tournament is an unknown tournament, with no barrier to entry. That means all you have to do is sign up and you will immediately get a chance to play. Of course, you can sign up then forget all about it and not play at all. Or you can play a little bit and then decide not to play. There is not...

Awesome. I'm in the second hundred. I didn't get a compensation for a game that would have won in turn 12 (one city left, 100% chance to win) with the attacking side. The opponent did not make his move. The attacker doesn't get too many points at the beginning, and the win bonus is also lost, so I l...

Don't worry # FritzchenEK-I. As compensation, Slitherine will double your points! You will be saved :) You are in a better situation I fell into a vicious circle in the second round and I takes position in the second fifty. With the current rules, there is no chance to get out of it ... The real pro...

On the contrary, in a very large tournament where people have very different skill (like this one), a simple win/loss will take you nowhere. It would take ages to clearly rank people. Whereas a point system allows to rank games between them: a clear win will grant you more points than a tight win. ...

As someone who argued with several players to give Slitherine a chance to fix the problem, I can only say they fell short of the goal. The fix should have been retroactive. And the tournament screams for a better solution to the no-shows and quitters. And a definition of "victory" for the...

One silly question: When (how) will game no. 2 (moscow scenario-russia side) end? I think I killed the last german troops of my opponent yesterday and secured all cities, airfields etc (turn is no. 8 or so), but the game is still active. Does my opponent have to surrender manually and how can he do...

Hallo Slitherine.
Could someone explain how points were added for the opponent's resignation? (I can see differences in points for both me and my opponent).

I think, there is no solution, After 1st round it should have been paired the winners. But now the pairing was by points (what we know, can be higher by losing slow, than for a fast winning). Only solution is restart the whole tournament with a correct method. Exactly, I wrote about it, there will ...

Sorry Lifever, but this tournament cannot be saved anymore. A shadow of injustice had covered him and would remain with him to the end. After the first round, there was still a chance to save him, but nothing was done about it. I stupid thought that the week off between rounds was to be used to anal...
