Sagrada Tournament master thread

The first SP competitive glazing tournament is underway. We have 11 artisans ready to show their colours.

The list as randomised by random.org is;

@JHTaube JHTaube + 5104
@Mirefox Mirefox+9516
@robthomasson
@irishdomer08 irishdomer08+5342
@JaneHatke JaneHatke+3746
@geigerm geigerm+9196
@js619
@Hardco Hardco+5944.
@whovian223
@SpiceTheCat SpiceTheCat+0054
@johnl john1325+9048

I’ve included the player codes that I can find, although I don’t think you need them to actually add a friend?

How it will work

As promised, this will be a simple round robin where you will play everyone else once. Each round you will send one invitation and receive one, and at the end of 5 rounds everyone will have played 10 games.

The table below shows who you will invite in each round. For example, in round 1, @JHTaube will invite @johnl and I will invite @whovian223. When you complete your games, send out your next round invitation. Hopefully this will keep the pace gentle and avoid anyone getting too swamped.

1 point will be awarded for a win and 0 points for a loss. At the end of the tournament, the artisan with the most points is deemed the most artisanal and awarded the SP Master Glazier trophy.

If there is a 2-way tie in the final table, ranking will be decided on the result of the match between the two players. If there’s a multi-way tie that can’t be broken by match results, the ranking will be decided on total points scored throughout the tournament. If after that there’s still a tie, somehow, everybody involved will play a playoff game to finally resolve the tie. I do not expect this to happen…

Artisan	Round 1	Round 2	Round 3	Round 4	Round 5
JHTaube	johnl	SpiceTheCat	whovian223	Hardco	js619
Mirefox	JHTaube	johnl	SpiceTheCat	whovian223	Hardco
robthomasson	Mirefox	JHTaube	johnl	SpiceTheCat	whovian223
irishdomer08	robthomasson	Mirefox	JHTaube	johnl	SpiceTheCat
JaneHatke	irishdomer08	robthomasson	Mirefox	JHTaube	johnl
geigerm	JaneHatke	irishdomer08	robthomasson	Mirefox	JHTaube
js619	geigerm	JaneHatke	irishdomer08	robthomasson	Mirefox
Hardco	js619	geigerm	JaneHatke	irishdomer08	robthomasson
whovian223	Hardco	js619	geigerm	JaneHatke	irishdomer08
SpiceTheCat	whovian223	Hardco	js619	geigerm	JaneHatke
johnl	SpiceTheCat	whovian223	Hardco	js619	geigerm

Report the results including the scores here and let me know if anything goes astray.

Good luck!

Just a friendly reminder that you do not get a notification for friend invites, so check in from time to time to see what new friends you have!

@JHTaube, I sent a friend request and will start up our game when accepted.

geigerm · April 15, 2020, 12:54pm

It does appear you need the actual code to add friends. I’ve invited several of you; if your friend code isn’t listed, I haven’t done that!

whovian223 · April 15, 2020, 2:06pm

My friend code is +7631 (for future reference)

robthomasson · April 15, 2020, 4:19pm

And my friend code is +4822.

Friend request sent to @Mirefox.

js619 · April 15, 2020, 8:16pm

I’m +8229, friend requests sent to everyone on the list I didn’t already have.

js619 · April 16, 2020, 2:38am

JS over @Hardco, 62-58. Gg!

Invite is out to @geigerm

Hardco · April 16, 2020, 2:41am

My understanding of how “sets of 1s and 2s” would score was off by 6 points… Gg!

Edit: Apparently it was even worse than I thought. I spent all game setting up series of adjacent 1s and 2s, and they don’t even need to be together?!

js619 · April 16, 2020, 10:22am

Gah, that sucks! I think it’s just pairs of 1’s and 2’s anywhere on your board?

geigerm · April 16, 2020, 11:11am

geigerm over @js619, 47-39. Good game!

@JaneHatke, please accept my friend request when you get a chance …

js619 · April 16, 2020, 12:12pm

Gg! I was caught in the brain burner of not repeating colors in rows and columns!

Awaiting @JaneHatke’s acceptance of friend request for round two

Mirefox · April 16, 2020, 12:23pm

I’ve always played it as any given pair of 1s and 2s. Adjacency not necessary.

Hardco · April 16, 2020, 2:03pm

Yeah, you just count the number you have the least of and multiply by 2… I interpreted it as 2 pts for every 1 and 2 adjacent to each other anywhere on the board.

JaneHatke · April 16, 2020, 10:49pm

Rob, your friend code is incorrect. I tried to invite you as friend.

robthomasson · April 17, 2020, 8:03am

Whoops … sorry Jane, I doubled up in the wrong place … my correct code in full is robthomasson+4882.

js619 · April 17, 2020, 4:24pm

@JHTaube - somehow we ended up with 2 games? I declined one

JHTaube · April 17, 2020, 7:20pm

Ah. Thanks. That explains the bot in your place.

robthomasson · April 17, 2020, 10:49pm

Question … Has anybody used the Running Pliers tool? The one that (I think) lets you draft two dice on your first turn.

If so … how/when do you activate Running Pliers? It does not appear to be available as I draft my first die … and if I draft that first die and click on the arrow for turn done then I think control will pass to the next player.

Maybe I am missing something obvious … ???

js619 · April 17, 2020, 11:11pm

Haven’t even seen such a thing

JHTaube · April 18, 2020, 3:03am

Good game @Mirefox
