yo what I'm in a?

turn up

One game left in group A between Insane and mslasm. Congratulations to Arkanton for taking the title! And with a two game margin - I am not sure if that have happened before?
Last game decides 2nd (thru 5th actually).

If Insane wins, top 5 will be like this:
1st Arkanton (7/8)
2nd Insane (5/8) 2-1 1-0
3rd Huddyj (5/8) 2-1 0-1
4th Buns157 (5/8) 1-2 1-0
5th Master Bjarke (5/8) 1-2 0-1


If Insane loses, top 5 will be like this:
1st Arkanton (7/8)
2nd Huddyj (5/8) 2-0
3rd Buns157 (5/8) 1-1
4th Master Bjarke (5/8) 0-2
5th Insane (4/8)

in 6th (and the last one to avoid relegation) either way is BenSeu with 3/8 and won against Twolker (who only won againt players who ended higher in the standings).

Why did group C not double promote last season but did it this season?
If I would have know this season would be different I would have cared more about my games =(

Here is how division B has unraveled with just one game left to finish! (Jerry vs. Bonsai)
Panagiotis takes 1st no matter what
Jerry is 2nd if he wins and smiley 3rd and bonsai 4th
if he loses bonsai gets 2nd jerry 3rd and smiley 4th
Pantelas is 5th and lamp 6th. Knight is 7th followed by Norbs in 8th and then kirdol in 9th

@Inside: Double promotions are determined by openings in the higher divisions. If a lot of people drop out or go inactive there will be more promotions to fill those spots :)

^ I beat Pana, so if I win my last game I'll win the group.

I would like to join too. Which group will be for new comers? Small earth is such a lovely map, but sadly they didn't put it anywhere in the clan league or RT ladders.

Wow! Looks like I get a triple promotion from I to F. Sweetness :D

I told Fizzer how I made my picks. He Judged that it is legal so I am not a cheater. Every button I clicked and every hotkey I pressed are in the game. Please stop smearing my name with cheating. I hate cheating too.

How do you explain this game then?

https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=11472222


50 picks in less than a second with Roma of course as your top pick when Roma alone was winning the game for you? And don't tell it is autopilot as autopilot can't pick consistently the best pick like that in games like that one.

Congratulations Bugs Bunny! You are the first to mention autopilot on my issue. I appreciate your smartness while I hate your disclosure of my secret weapon which took me months to discover. However since you guys pushed me into a corner, I cannot hide it anymore but to declare that yes I used the autopilot.

The autopilot has an algorithm of first picking the bonus with the best value/territory ratio. Everybody can do experiments and see if an autopilot is able to catch Rome on that template. You can also do experiments on small earth to see if the autopilot knows when to 1st-pick south america or Australia in most situations.

So, the remaining issue is, whether it is ethical to use an autopilot, considered that only members can do it. My thought is that it's OK if your opponent is also a member. I am gonna stop using it against non-members in any coin games, ladders and tournament games from now on.

In your experiments, choose "prod 2.0", the one without "randomness", so that the autopilot can consistently 1st-pick something like Rome in that template.

And Group B is complete! :) Tight group with lots of tiebreakers - in the end, 7 of 9 players finished .500 or better!

(6-2) (1-0) 1. Bonsai
(6-2) (0-1) 2. PanagiotisTheGreekFreak
(5-3) (1-0) 3. PhucilliJerry
(5-3) (0-1) 4. smileyleg
(4-4) (2-0) 5. Pantelas
(4-4) (1-1) 6. Lampiao
(4-4) (0-2) 7. BlacKnight
(1-7) (1-0) 8. KingNorbs
(1-7) (0-1) 9. kirdol

2 games to go!

have we started discussing a next season yet?

1 game remaining in Group I, and if it goes a certain way, we'll have a 5 way tie for 4th with 6-4 records, which only matters because the last place finisher of those 5 is promoted to a lower group than the others.

I opened a separate thread on my picking issue, so this thread won't be derailed.

Opinions are welcomed.

^ I'm a little concerned about how it might affect this p/r league. Clearly you've found a loophole to exploit; while perhaps not technically illegal, I think a lot of people will find this an unfair advantage for members.
