wow you are doing great. This is a lot of work. I have now earned my cook hat back from being a serg last week. Much has to do with playing nuclear trench games. I don't care about rank it is fun.

Winter 2013 Nuclear Competition

It's my pleasure, CrazyStef. Directing the Competition looks like more work than it is. I just update, or add to, my last post. I don't have to create them anew from scratch. Do not worry about being a cook so much. Anyone who takes you lightly because you are a cook will deserve the beating they receive. I have noticed a few higher ranked players are participating in the Competition, particularly in the Doodle Earth games, which surprises me. Because that map has the fewest territories, to my mind playing there most resembles buying a lottery ticket. Nevertheless, most high ranked players are not participating in the Competition that much. I figured that would be the case. These Competition games are competetive and well-played. Highly ranked players understand the great likeliness that they would lose ranking points here. This Competition is therefore for the brave and the skilled, those who are willing to let their ranking be as it may, and thus reflect their true skill level, rather than how well a rating may be nursed. [Image of a major suckling a rating. :lol: ]

One more game has concluded since my last post, a London Game won by yours truly. I consolidated the lower right corner of that map and then expanded out from there. The Leaderboard and Skill Index rankings are updated. Again, I consider the Skill Index to be the most important standing. It will determine the winner of this Competition. The more games played and thus tabulated, the more meaningfull the skill index standing. When I calculate in the eighth game concluded - so far there has only been four finished - all those with just 1 game played drop off the skill index for being below the minimum.

We have had four more games conclude since the last time I posted. Considering that we had only four total before then, as you can imagine we have had some big changes in who is leading the Competition. Not counting those players who have had only one game concluded, the leader of the Competition so far is Spinal. He is averaging a silver medal every time he plays a Competition game. That is outstanding! If you leave a note of congratulations on his wall, that would really be cool.

SKILL INDEX Points won divided by games played. Those in red have played only one Competition game and will fall off at 10 games concluded for not having been in enough Competition games (10% minimum) to fairly rate their play.

Winter 2013 Nuclear Competition

PostPosted: Mon Mar 04, 2013 2:12 am
by General Quigley
In the last week we have had a record number fourteen games conclude. Before this week we had just twenty finished. So that brings the total up to 34 games concluded and now rated!

To make the list this time, you must have personally played in at least 5 games (15% of the completed games minimum) of the 34 completed. Only nine players have played in five or more of the 34 games so far concluded. Congratulations to AlexEverard who has really come on strong with the win of a couple gold medals recently. He moves into first by what looks like a difficult margin to make up. At 1.25 points as an average per game, that means AlexEverard expects better than third place each time he enters the game. That is an achievement!

I have opened nine new Competition games you can join just now to bring the total number of open available games to 10. Good luck!

SKILL INDEX Points won divided by games played.
AlexEverard - 1.25 (15/12)
YipYipDog - 0.80 (4/5)
General Quigley - 0.77 (20/26)
69Chevy - 0.71 (5/7)

Thanks, 11Joan11, and welcome to the Competition. Well done on your recent achievement of a gold medal on your first Competition try out! Unlike Tournaments, it is the participants themselves who enroll themselves in Competition games. Just check the latest announcement from me and join Open games. As soon as you complete 15% of all tournament games held, and there's plenty of time still to do that, you will find yourself ranked with the other regular Competition players.

By the way, I just made an error. I edited my last announcement, thereby wiping it out and replacing it with a current one. I did not mean to wipe out my previous announcement. The last announcement then (located just before Joan's post) is now the current one. I will be more careful in the future.

In the last four days we have had seven games conclude, bringing the total up to 41. This means that to register for the list and be rated you must have completed six of the 41 Competition games (15% minimum). Not so many! Ten players make the participation cutoff and are therefore listed below in the Skill Index. Congratulations to AlexEverard who maintains a death grip on the lead in the Competition with his high performances over a number of games.

There are a few players who have had even more outstanding results: wombat4 has 2 golds in his two Competition games, Flann has two golds and a silver in his three Competition games, and 11Joan11 has a gold and a silver in her two concluded Competition games. However, we have no way of knowing if these players could sustain these high performance rates like AlexEverard has over a significant number of games. That is why there is a participation cutoff in order to be listed. If you know these three, give them encouragement to play more games to see if they can win the Competition.

I have opened eleven new Competition games just now you can join. Good luck!

To try to get more participation by people who have demonstrated nuclear spoils know how and who are close to having enough points, or who barely have enough points to make the cutoff, I have taken the unusual step of inviting them to Competition games where they have shown they are most skilled. That should sharpen the competitiveness!

Since my last post, twelve games have concluded. So there have been a lot of updates. Crazystef is starting to come on strong. He or she won two golds and two bronzes in those twelve games. I find myself having to take out his or her territories more often in our games together too. Sorry about that Crazy.

The total number of games concluded is now 53. Our Competition consists of 200 games and so is now officially more than one quarter completed. Since the total number of games completed is 53, and 15% of that is 7.95, this means you need a minimum of 7 games completed to qualify for the skill index scoreboard. Only eight players make the participation cutoff and are therefore listed below. Congratulations to AlexEverard who maintains his lock on first place. All of a sudden though his lead is beginning to look surmountable, at least to me.

I have opened ten new Competition games just now you can join, most of them on very popular maps that tend to fill up fast. So hurry!

Thanks for the update. I have noticed that as I am learning how best to play these types of games the logs have showed I am a marked man. I take this as a complement. I am a man and my full name is Stefan....however my good friends call me Stefanie.....long story(ies).....

Winter 2013 Nuclear Competition

Since my last post, seven games have concluded. Your favorite Competition director had a bit of a lucky streak lately. I won three golds, a silver, and a bronze in those seven games. Much to my surprise I am now in first place. I have mixed feelings about this. I really don't think it's quite right for a playing director to win his own Competition. Come on guys; save me from the shame! :lol:

The total number of games concluded is now 60. 15% of 60 is 9.0, so that means a minimum of 9 games completed is necessary to qualify for the skill index scoreboard. The same eight players as last time are all that make the participation cutoff and are thus listed below.

I have opened ten new Competition games just now you can join!

Bam!
Suddenly I've won 2 games!

Winter 2013 Nuclear Competition

PostPosted: Thu Apr 04, 2013 2:58 pm
by General Quigley
I have an announcement to make! For the first 100 games of the Competition I have set the maps up so that the Initial Troops deployment was automatic. Now that we have all gained some experience and fighting prowess on these twenty maps, enough probably to form strategies, I am going to up the skill factor for the last 100 games by setting the Initial Troops placement to manual. Now, you get to decide how you want to place your armies right at the start.

Strategic tip for initial troop placement: Think hard about what has happened in the other games on the map you have played. Try to contest the areas people seem to be less interested in so that you don't get attacked like crazy. Example: in the normal classic map, many people go for Australia or the other two small continents in order to get the bonus and easily protect it. This would be good strategy if you are the only person considering it. I have found, however, that people often won't try right away for the larger continents. If you are not being attacked, your chances increase greatly. And if you can lock down a big bonus area in a fog of war game with eight people. Well, you are pretty much golden to win.

Another strategy tip: Sometimes, your big dump (if that is the strategy you choose at the beginning) ends up right beside someone else's. I have experimented with trying to blow that other person's stack away right at the start in order to use "attacker's dice" for better odds. Boy, do majors and up get irritated when you do that! Many have called me nasty names, which makes me feel much better about having destroyed them. Some have even enemied me as a result! Anyway, even if your 15 vs 12 is successful and you move let's say 6 in to the territory, very often you have so depleted yourself that it turns out poorly. Nowadays I tend to try to run away a bit from other people's big stacks instead. Not always, so I don't commit to doing that in every case, but that appears to usually work a little better. I just wanted to share a little of my experience to try to help my readers out to the extent I can.

Since my last post, ten games have concluded. As you can see from the standings below, your favorite Competition director's luck has inexplicably also continued. In fact, I am most embarassed to report that I have even managed to extend my first place lead. :?

Fortunately, there is hope that someone will come along and save me from the shame of winning my own competition. Nicestash has a very impressive 12 points so far in the 7 games he has concluded. Seventy games of our Competition have finished. 15% of 70 is 10.5. Therefore, ten games concluded, or more, is the participation cutoff needed in order to be rated in the Competition. I have no doubt that at nicestash's current participation rate, he will soon be entering the ratings. When he has enough games to be rated, the question is will he still be in the lead? Can he sustain that superior performance? After all, nicestash might have just got lucky those seven games. We do not have enough data yet to conclusively make that determination.

There is some movement in the next few places on the chart. AlexEverard continues his freefall from first. I question the strategy he often adopts of trying to make truces with the player currently in the lead on the map. Perhaps Alex knows something I do not about this game men call Conquer Club. DominatED is moving up fast on the wings of some really nice recent finishes. Will DominatED soon be able to challenge me for first place (or second, if nicestash comes in)? Time will tell.

One more thing I need to mention: please know that in every game I personally play the map. I never target or treat any player whom I have become familiar with any differently than I treat any other player. Not only do I consider doing that beneath me, but it would harm the Competition I am trying to promote. Also, perhaps most importantly, I am working out optimal playing strategies for this form of the game, or trying to. I need to maintain objectivity in my own targetting choices in order to determine if my strategy is sound. Getting personal would totally undermine that. I am a tournament chess player who plays the board, never the person, and I carry that mindset into my CC games. I recognize that others may not share my opinion and may target people, perhaps even me because I am currently the Competition frontrunner. That's okay. The strategies I am working out, or trying to work out, include those adversity factors.

Okay, I have opened eight new Competition games with manual initial troops deplyment (101-108) just now that you can join! A few other Competition games are still open from last week too. Good luck!

3 golds, a bronze, and a silver in just seven games is quite impressive indeed, especially at the level of play found in this Competition where we have virtually no deadbeats. There are seven people to beat every game!

I've never played these games before so I'm pretty pleased with the results. However, since I'm a colonel I think I've still lost points-the last game I won a gained a mere 60 points :S
Oh well, I was never a big fan of hats anyway :P

Hi GQ, thanks for all your effort, look forward to the 'placement' games.

Just to clarify one point however - I tend to truce with whoever I think it beneficial to me, and to them (else I wouldn't expect them to accept), which is v rarely the front runner. In a couple of our joint games I have not turned on a former truce-r on the immediate same turn they take the lead, which confused you both times(*), for what seemed to me good reasons, largely
- my armies were in position to make substantial gains off the people I was already attacking (yes, risky when someone else is heading for a dominant position)
- when I have given a commitment to 'x turns notice' or similar I do almost always keep it (except when I mess up and forget, which has happened)

(*) In one of those games I had done exactly the same thing several times and was continuing to struggle back into contention as a result, but the last one went very, very wrong ...

However, I also find your habit of 'no truce, but I wont attack you just yet' intriguing, and have experimented with that as well to good effect.

Alex

4 wins!
Game 12531084
Btw, since I held the Objective for this victory, who gets silver and bronze? Is it awarded to no one or the 2nd and 3rd place troops holders?

One of the hardest maps to figure out how to award points for is the Austro-Hungarian map. Nicestash recently won a game brilliantly there by achieving the objective, but six of his opponents were still in the game, two of them with more territiories owned than Nicestash. Unreal! This is the first time I have seen the like, although Europe 1914 and the Peloponessian map also have objectives that can allow for win of the game early. I award six points per game. So nicestash got the gold for winning it. The person who owned the most territories when Nicestash won got the silver, and I awarded the bronze to the person who owned the second most.

Since my last post, eleven games have concluded. I have hit a dry spell, not even so much as a bronze in those 11 games. So the race for the top three spots has tightened up considerably, as you can see.

Since the total amount of games concluded is now at 81 and a 15% participation rate is needed to get on the chart, we only have seven players who have completed 12 or more competition games. We do have four people in the 9-11 range who could soon come in if they increase their participation rate even slightly: aboynamedboobs, 11Joan11, nicestash, and Wolfboy137.

Okay, I have opened twelve new Competition games with manual initial troops deplyment (109-120) just now that you can join! A few other Competition games are still open from last week too. Good luck!

While I don't think I'm going to be able to end of winning this competition, I am looking forward to my induction into the Skill Index. Also, when did you bring the minimum games needed to 15%? Before it was 10%;
