Tournaments
#1

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;

  1. @JHTaube JHTaube + 5104
  2. @Mirefox Mirefox+9516
  3. @robthomasson
  4. @irishdomer08 irishdomer08+5342
  5. @JaneHatke JaneHatke+3746
  6. @geigerm geigerm+9196
  7. @js619
  8. @Hardco Hardco+5944.
  9. @whovian223
  10. @SpiceTheCat SpiceTheCat+0054
  11. @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…

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.

#3

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!

#4

My friend code is +7631 (for future reference)

#5

And my friend code is +4822.

Friend request sent to @Mirefox.

#6

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

#7

JS over @Hardco, 62-58. Gg!

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

#9

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

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

#11

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

#12

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

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.

#14

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

#15

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

#16

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

#17

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

#18

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 … ???

#19

Haven’t even seen such a thing

#20

Good game @Mirefox
