no doubt about it that this is a great and wonderful competition!
based on a unique and interesting idea. kudos to @kennfusion for this new concept.
so when i have to announce that i need to take a break after the running Yellow & Yangtze match
(what a great game!) it has nothing to do with the event.
it’s just that i must cut back gaming activities.
it would be great to leave as a King, so i’m giving my best in the running match.
i hope i will be able to come back after some time.
congrats to @SpiceTheCat for climbing the throne.
what a close and enjoyable game that was!
i would have liked to see the outcome of the last war and replays of the final moves in the game
couldn’t remember this weak spot (Terraforming Mars’ian flavor) of an otherwise convincing app.
without being able to see the outcome of the war nor the final moves i can only guess that one tile less in the pool would have meant my win?
did you have a final full move, @SpiceTheCat?
that final war came as an unpleasant kingmaker surprise too.
it didn’t any good for causer @Mirefox, or?
No, it didn’t. I was in a rough spot and unable to get a yellow pagoda. I wasn’t so much as trying to kingmake or cause chaos as I was trying to bleed out some reds to hopefully get another shot at winning a war. Time wasn’t my friend.
hush! i had (futile) hopes that Mirefox would play out one more tile (why should he?) so that the game would have ended instantly for my win. it all hang on one single tile.
technically i could have ended the game before, but i would have lost the tiebreak and my turn pushed me from 14 to 16, with 6 tiles left in the pool.
i had some hopes to be the last player to have a full turn, or you would have to sacrifice a half-move for denying me the last full turn.
couldn’t see a reason why Mirefox should start a war, but…unpredictable.
