Red Planet Blues: a Terraforming Mars tournament

I can’t see Point Luna on the list, has no one played them?

Nope, nor Saturn Systems.

Edit: aw crap, I’m wrong. I think I’ve misattributed at least one Saturn Systems score to Mining Guild. Well, going to squint at all the little logos again and correct the scoreboard.

Further edit: @Snotty128, rd 2 table D and @kennfusion rd 3 table F were both SS. Gr.

Still reasonably sure Point Luna hasn’t shown up.

Yet people willingly play Inventrix.

Omg, I’m such a rookie at this game, third in a row I’ve screwed myself with Milestones. I keep on forgetting only three are available and @Caradog has them all!

Into plant conversion, don’t forget to screenshot the results @Zebracadabra :slightly_smiling_face:

Didn’t think I had a chance! My first win, so I am a happy terraformer.

It works both ways. @Caradog absolutely destroyed my plans with his placement of the Commercial District, which resulted in a three point swing. Truth be told, I could’ve prevented it.

Actually, it was a six point swing! -3 for me and +3 for you. I’d never seen that card before. How is everybody else’s games going?

other games? :man_shrugging:
final tournament round hasn’t started yet, right?

Thought my game with @SpiceTheCat @OhBollox and @Caradog was tourney. Now I have no clue (shrugs shoulders).

Friendlies IIRC.

I thought we were waiting for a bugged game to be replayed

i think that rematch (Caradog-134/ JS619-125/ Zebracadabra-89) had been finished on 19th of November.
then we had the poll to decide on which map the last round will be played.
poll result and standings after 3 played rounds were posted on 21st of November.

So we’re waiting for @spicethecat to push the button on the next round? It’s holiday season, so maybe after that’s all done with

We are. It’s been a manic month. I’ll unleash the final round soon.

Mars wasn’t terraformed in a day!

Round 4 - Return to Elysium

As the Martian New Year passes*, the votes of the people are laboriously counted.

First choices: Tharsis 8, Elysium 8, Hellas 1. Hellas is eliminated and the one vote transferred. By the narrowest of margins, we’re back on the beautiful beaches of Elysium.

The tables are listed below. Top 3 places still very much open.

Whoever starts the game will need both the expansions. The top player should set up the game if they can, otherwise anyone on the table can start the game. I don’t think there have been any updates recently, which of course guarantees a game-breaking patch will be released next week.

We will play ranked, corporate era, Prelude with all options on, Elysium as the map, draft off, 30 days.

Notifications seem to work but as ever, please check in daily as a default. TfM does occasionally spontaneously log you out, usually just before your turn to make you look bad.

The final player must screenshot and post the results screen. Only the last player in the final round (and the final greeneries round) will see the results. Put it another way, if you see a results screen, take a screenshot.

Enjoy the final round everyone. Thank you for sticking with the tournament through autumn, winter, holidays and general lassitude. To the landers!

Ugh, I appear to be at the table of death (to use a football world cup phrase, not sure if it appears in other sports)

@Hardco and @robthomasson, I have neither expansion. Are either of you able to set up as a table?
