Hot Synapse Summer Open Cup, Rules and matching!!

[Vexing Vision]

Ah, great! That'll kill my positive win-quote, but at least that makes me seem more harmless, the way I really am. :D

Can't wait for the Desharditization. This is a word now.


Also, guys, give us some running reports on your matches!

Turn one - I make the same move I've made at least twice before. Bounswavepilot shoots a rocket
D = 4 / B = 4

Turn Two - My rocket guy gets taken out by BWP's rocket from turn one. BWP's rocket guy forgets to stand up and shoots the table he is crouched behind while his shoutgun guy comes in to line of site of one of my machine gun guys who lets a few bullets off.
D = 3 / B = 3

Turn Three - Pending

BWP's rocket guy forgets to stand up and shoots the table he is crouched behind

Ah, the classic 'Suicide By Table'

[Peter Radiator Full Pig]

Rockets? I think some people are into Round 1 a little early.

[imirk]

Rockets? I think some people are into Round 1 a little early.

No harm in that, well other than having to wait for your next opponents to catch up.

Inverselaw said it was good, I also edited my first post with the round

[Antares]

MaceWindow has challenged Fredie007 (a little ahead of schedule, but what the hell, right?), game ID 79496

[Inverselaw]

Id rather that players who know their opponent already to go ahead and start the match, ensuring that they will be done in time.

Lots of round 1 players have byes for themselves and their opponent. and with dissapearing players we should get more of those later on in the tourny.

Stick llama! If you see this pm me with times you can do it!

Hey McDan - check your PMs

Faxmachinen defeated Graever in game 76974.

Unfortunately, uploading to youtube doesn't seem to work.

[Jolima]

Jolima has challenged Indigon in game 81000. (Ooh even number!)

[ColOfNature]

The first result is in and uploaded to the RockPaperSynapse YouTube channel, where I'll be adding each match to a playlist for the relevant round as they come in, and tagging the videos with the round, combatants and game type for easy swotting up on your opponents.

If you'd like your best moments (or greatest blunders) highlighted on the channel for posterity, point me at the game id and I'll add it, or post a link to the video in the channel comments and I'll favourite it so everyone can see your tactical genius/inadequacy (delete as appropriate).

(I've duplicated this post in the other thread. If you've got any suggestions re the channel please put them over there, on the channel comments or in a PM. Ta.)

[wererogue]

wererogue defeated Enoch in match 76980

(Due to some rather spectacular luck in the first engagement)

[wallnuss]

wallnuss would love to challenge Kanza, but apparently either the name is wrong or he was never online on UK1.

[MasterBoo]

Jolima has challenged Indigon in game 81000. (Ooh even number!)

First turn submitted! That's going to be interesting.

[Inverselaw]

Thats because his name is actualy Kanzy, ive corrected the spreadsheet and hurray for hardcopy lists.

If you tried to challenge someone and failed, please say so, we are already past the halfway mark and barely half the round 0 players sent their challenge.

[MasterBoo]

Update from Round I Match 81000 - Jolima vs Indigon (myself):
Jolima moves a machine-gunner in the open, and my gunner shoots him down after aiming at him for a while. We both fire missiles at random walls hoping to score a kill, yet we hit no one.

In the next turn, Joolima surprises my hiding shotgun and shots first with his own shotgun (due to me not changing aim direction and aiming at the wall I was hugging :S), yet I kill him with my own machine gun surprise in the top of the map.

Jolima remains with 1 launcher and 1 shotgun, and I remain with 2 machine-gunners and 1 launcher.

Turn 4 is go.

[Du3lingDragon]

Its coming down to the wire in match 76574: Du3lingdragon vs RoastChief. This will probably be the last move of the game. I Eliminated 2 of his assault rifles, but more importantly his shotgunner is escaping with 2 keys. I cant kill him from any angle and unless he makes a crazy move, i will have lost. Congrats you bastard.

[Jolima]

I lost both of my remaining men in the next turn. My rocket launcher tried to run across an open gap but was caught just before he reached cover and my shotgunner was caught by a gunner because I forgot that a stationary aiming gunner beats a running shotgunner even on close range.

Thanks for the game MasterBoo.
