Subject: Re: free rating points
happy hermit: Okay Eric, I'll take you on. But you won't be giving me any points if I win (1 or 2 perhaps). You really need to do something about your 1851 rating, so good luck and you might grab yourself a handful

It took me many games to earn a BKR over 2000 and #1. I have never turned down an invite, so if anyone fancies their chances, just send an invite. All I ask is that you move once a day (on average).

Mark-

Thanks for picking up the game.

If you don't rush your moves I'll try and have my rating over 2000 before our game finishes . . . I can probably do that by challenging Nothingness to a bunch of games. :)

BTW - I see you are playing tenuki . . . I am curious how those turn out. He and I used to play a lot of Dark Chess at IYT years ago and I am curious how his skill set translates to Sabotage.

Subject: Re: free rating points
happy hermit: poor Nothingness, he too has worked hard on his ratings!

Tenuki has over 1000 games on the go, and we are just in the opening moves. Probably finish at the end of next year! If you look at his ratings though, he is at or near the top of many strategy games! So I'm not underestimating him!

It took some time and convincing since I don't own a credit card and had already asked my guy to get into paypal to buy me a membership for IYT when I played there, (and as a result I'd rush into internetcafes on holidays to make tournamentmoves) and now he had to get an account at alertpay. But now I'm a Rook on 'PainKing' as my guy calls it and can join multiple tournaments

I have now created a new tournament:


Sabotage Leauge - Open Fast Espionage - #1


It is with 2 days time and only weekends, so its without vacation days. Lets try how it works. It starts on 1st of September.



Good Luck

SL-Bosse: Something went wrong... It has already started. The plan is as I wrote that it should starts on the 1st of September, but I must has made a mistake. I will try to change the name on that tournament to #0, and set up a new tournament with #1.


Here is the new tournament Sabotage Leauge - Open Fast Espionage - # 1

you have to be careful that you don't allow it to start once it reaches your minimum standard. put a minimum like 16 people.

16. August 2009, 18:15:49
Nothingness 
the tourney you posted will start as soon as it hits 5 players. due to the minimum standard you set. you should set the limit higher!

16. August 2009, 21:01:08
SL-Bosse 
No, I have put a start date on the 1st of September, so I think it will not start before that date. Otherwise it should already started, because the minimum players is 4.

16. August 2009, 21:05:38
lukulus 
I think, tournament can start immediately when maximum limit of players is signed for tournament. In this case there isnt any maximum limit, so tournament will start 1.9.

Subject: one game for each two players
For the tournament, does the above mean that we play one game against each opponent in the section?

25. August 2009, 08:50:27
Pedro Martínez 
Subject: Re: one game for each two players
Dark Prince: Yes. It is a bad translation. It should read "Round-robin, one game against each opponent."

Subject: Re: one game for each two players
Do most players prefer that over the 2-game matches against each opponent?

Subject: Re: one game for each two players
Dark Prince: I prefer 1 game against each opponent in the section by far.

25. August 2009, 15:16:32
Nothingness 
were going to be in a lot of games in this one from what i can see. we will have to play 4players at once. Each section is very large! i prefer single elimination.

we need to get Tony into this upcoming tourney! Don't you think!?

also id advise posting this up coming tourney on the tourney message board! WE can certainly get a few more players if it up there as well!

Subject: Re: upcoming tourney!
Nothingness: Ok, I did as you wrote. I has invited Tony and wrote about Sabotage Leauge and the tournament on that board. In beginning of the week I also sent invitations to 15-20 players, and a lot of them has now joined the tournament. Sabotage Leauge - Open Fast Espionage - # 1 I hope that some more people can try to invite players.

ok... umm this is going to be one of the most competitive tournaments of all time! I'm really pumped but how does an unseeded player with 1 game played get a #1 seed hmmm! Whats the difference i'm psyched to play!

As of this post we have 26 players. right now it seems as if there will be around 6 sections of 4+ players which is very nice. unless we get 4 more players (30).

After a small delay Sabotage Leauge - Open Fast Espionage - # 1 has started. One player hadn't enough of space for the tournament so it ends up with 25 players in 5 groups. Thanks to every one who signed up in the tournament and GOOD LUCK!!!

Looks like a reasonable section breakdown and 25 players means, I assume, only two rounds.

it makes me think.....I've perused one or 2 other discussion boards and some of them seem to be full of kids arguing ,calling each other names and the like.It makes me wonder ,does sabotage/espionage attract an older player group?Seems to be that way at least from the pictures I remember from all the ones who sent their pictures in.Hey Chaos,you didn't happen to save those pictures did you?Or anyone else?Shame that MSN closed their groups section and that was lost.

Subject: Re: pictures and namecalling
Celticjim: no, the pictures have not been saved... The League was fading at the time and I wasn't sure if people wanted me to keep pictures if the group didn't exist anymore.

 

I do remember that at IYT the messageboards were closed because of the awful namecalling getting out of hand. In the mean time the sabotageboard was peacefully used by enthousiast Leaguers for setting up tournaments, analysing strategies and 'heavy' discussions like what our rankingsystem should look like. We had a lot of voting on various issues in those days. We did have a short period were politics somehow sneaked it's way in for some strange reason, creating a lot of uproar with violent words spoken. Luckily it was over fast without leaving any hard feelings.

Perhaps someone can make a Sabotage League group on one of the social networking sites if anyone is interested in pictures.

I remember the ranking discussions. :) I remember trying to figure out to explain to moonhippie that he really had no way of determining who was a stronger player between Jozsef and Limbaugh . . . all he knew was they could both beat him. I eventually gave up.
