Frozen Synapse dark extermination league - season 8

[desvergeh]

Desvergeh has drawn with ComradePenguin in game 482851, 3 kills to 3 kills.

Good match.

Right, time for a bit of admin:

Division 2
Labbes and Ritashi forfeit.

Division 4
spacein_vader and cantankerous T forfeit.

Outstanding games:

Chevelle vs. MarvinPA
Chevelle vs. Bellowhead

I assume from Bellowhead's comment that Chevelle is holding up both of these, but I'll wait until tomorrow before assigning the defaults. Chevelle, if you're out there please speak up!

Damn it Xune, couldn't you have lost just one match?

[Gotem]

I dont know if this has been discussed previously. but have you considered making the divisions bigger so each season consists of more games?

[iwem.xo]

I'd be all for it, but I don't think everybody has the time to do more.

Haha, sorry. Not that it helps but I was really unsure of my opening moves in my game against Ritashi, however he would have had to have beten me 7 - 0 for it to have made a difference.

Fab, thanks; I've updated the spreadsheet.

Yes, that's it - people have wildly varying availabilities and I don't want participation to become burdensome. We can certainly arrange some sort of more intensive competition to run separately from the main league, if enough people are interested?

Count me in!

Apologies for not reporting, I was busy hitting my laptop for a better connection :) Also, gg!

[Xune]

No worries. Hope you get your system sorted for next season.

I'm definitely interested. Maybe people could enter multiple divisions?

What if we did a knock-out tournament?

[ColOfNature]

I like the idea of a big tourney where everyone plays everyone else. Does the built-in tournament thing work?

[rodeoclown]

If we could use the built-in mode, that would make things much easier to handle I'd imagine!

I was thinking of an 'everyone vs. everyone' format too, though I'm not sure what the current status of the in-game tournament system is (last time I looked, if I remember rightly, it wasn't possible to accommodate our various rules for map types, etc). I'll take a look, and in any case we can always revert to the spreadsheet method.

Anyone else fancy this? If there's sufficient interest we can kick it off this week and possibly have it wrapped up by the time that season 9 of the league starts (eternal optimist that I am).

[ColOfNature]

A glutton for punishment is what you are, sir. Count me in. I'd be happy with asymmetric maps for this one - a bit of a free-for-all sounds like a grand old time.

[DeVadder]

I would be up for it.

[rodeoclown]

I'm there. Well, here. I'm in.
