Totally get your point @hardco, but if we’re going to apply some mechanic to the pairing, personally I’d rather aim for every player playing with every other player over the course of the decathlon. All of this is also coloured by the fact that we aren’t playing the same game every time, so rankings to date don’t necessarily reflect relative ability in the current game.
Seems like most people are divided on how to proceed, so let’s at least stick to the assigned tables for Race for the Galaxy and circle back on pairing formula for the second half of the decathlon.
I’m just talking about applying the same mechanics that were applied for the first 3 rounds of the decathlon (well technically second 2, since the first round was randomly paired). But since you stepped up this round, and the winner so far is “don’t care”, let’s do this!
I’ll offer to run the back half of the decathlon though!
I’m keeping @Snotty128 in this standings table for the fun exercise of seeing how many games it takes for the field to catch those 12 points scored over the first 3 rounds. Still in a podium spot after missing a game!
for some reason notifications aren’t working in RtfG for me. I apologize to @Hardco and @whovian223 for taking so long, but it keeps slipping my mind without any popup.
