Conquestish Assassin [Winner - RKCVED]

[aad0906]

Juke will be sad to hear they are no longer leading in fewest deaths it is still Wile E Coyote followed by Aad0906 on 5 and 6 deaths each maybe I need to learn something from them as I have more deaths than the 2 combined and 10 more points would see me sitting in first place

A lot of players are so eager to go after their target, that they overextend themselves and don't defend well against being assassinated themselves. Sometimes I see players that are really weak, and instead of trying to recover and stay alive, they might still relentlessly pursue a target that they have no chance in assassinating. I build defenses and if my "assassin" gets too strong, I will attack my assassin instead of my target.

I agree with you that its crazy how some of the people are attacking too much, overextending and then basically taking themselves and you out of the game. I see this especially of Conquer 500 and Monsters. But killing the wrong target is not the answer. Once is a mistake, maybe twice. But making this a practice is not allowed.

2 things here.
1. I have a very low number of "deaths", being assassinated. In certain games I intentionally attacked my assassin. I think there is nothing wrong with that. You can't win the game, and assassinate your target, if you are too weak yourself. So if my own assassin relentlessly attacks me, I strike back, hoping they back off and I can rebuild and still win.
2. I have a high number of accidents. These were not accidents, none of them; there were indeed games where I was at risk of getting assassinated and by eliminating a player who is not my target, I rescued the 1 point awarded for "surviving". Without the 1 point for surviving I never would have done this. I get it that this doesn't make it right and it can been seen as throwing the game. I wonder if I am the only player that did this.

Since this is likely in breach of the general rules of CC, I will withdraw from the remainder of the tournament with apologies to the organizer.

Thanks for the honesty. It was never my intention to encourage accidents as I call them and I think the majority of them were indeed by accident. I will in future tournaments put in an extra rule or something that will penalise taking out the wrong target but as this and my other tournament Dealers choice are nearly over I don't think I will change the rules at this time.

I can accept your resignation but if you are serious and your not planning to intentionally take out the wrong target you are welcome to remain in the tournament.

[plurple]

Hello hello hello! After a little drama about people taking out the wrong target I hope that is all behind us and I can just deal with it in my rules in the next tournament I run next year. If you didn't catch it please do not intentionally attack your assassin to the point that you kill them for someone else just to win the 1 point for surviving

Onto a more pleasant topic I will be sending out 4 new maps tomorrow I have randomised them already but don't fancy sending them out tonight New World is continuing to be shy so we won't be playing on that map until the next batch and the last one We will be finishing off Labyrinth, Feudal Epic, Krazy Kingdoms and AOR1.

Time for the exciting round up of the top of the leaderboard, I was sitting at the top but unfortunately currently it is back to Luxbock on 164 points and 41 kills, behind them is RKCVED on 163 and 40 kills, with myself Plurple in 3rd on 162 points and 38 kills. We are the only 3 players who have managed to cross the 160 point threshold so it is much more exciting over here that it is in Dealers choice with just a 3 point spread than the 57 point lead Lux has

onto the GA medal there are just 14 of us left in the running that are able to match my current 22 predicted kills if my counting is accurate I have also added 4 columns in the middle that will allow me to see when/if I win the GA medal and to see who my competition is Mainly I wanted the chance to see more of my columns in Green Especially as I can no longer be super excited by my predicted maps as I just have 1 unlikely game left on Conquer 500 so I will creep on everyone else's games

Well with Juke going awol and being kicked from a lot of games they are kicked from the tournament and so no longer a part of the best survivor line up which happens to still be Wile E Coyote on just 6 deaths followed closely by our main trouble maker Aad0906 on 7 deaths oof just looked at my own deaths and only just have half as many deaths as kills need to stop wearing such a strong fragrance so my assassin can stop following my trail

Well good luck in the games and look out for the 16 games I am going to send to you all tomorrow I also hope you all had a good Christmas if you celebrate. That is the reason that I took a small break in sending out new games No one quite ran out of games having at least 1 game left active

[plurple]

well let's try this again I typed it out once already but something odd happened and I lost the post

Ok we are running out of games so I decided to send out 3 new maps or 12 games. So we are finally playing on New World, we are also off to the City Mogul and my map Classic Conquest

On to the scoreboard which is looking pretty good IMHO. I am sitting at the top with 195 points and 48 kills, in second behind me is Luxbock on 190 points and 47 kills and third place is Middleton on 187 points and 46 kills.

let's talk about the best survivor the is Aad0906 on just 8 deaths but they were naughty, so the real best survivor is still Wile E Coyote on just 10 deaths

in terms of the GA medal I am firmly ahead of everyone else on 22 predicted wins however i ma unable to improve this number There are just 3 players that can catch me: Xroads Currently on 14 Predictions who needs to win all 4 games on each of City Mogul and AOR2 to match my 22 predictions, next is Devante who is on 11 predictions at the moment with 12 potential predictions 8 on New World and 4 on City Mogul with the ability of just not winning 1 of them and finally RKCVED on just 10 predicted wins so far they have the potential to get all the way to 26 if they win all 8 on New World , 4 on City Mogul and 4 on AOR2 though they can drop 4 of the games and still match my own record I wish them all the worst luck as I could do with a new medal

Well we just have 12 games after the current game invites are all accepted. So good luck and have fun in the last ~30 games in the tournament that we each have.

[plurple]

Well we are about to have the last of the games sent out after I have lunch Going to attempt to have a gammon and cheese omelette though may end up being a bit misshapen The last 3 game maps are New World, Antarctica and AOR2

Fun scoreboard update time I am reigning form the top sitting at 219 points and 55 kills I am approaching a 50% win rate In second place is RKCVED on 211 points and 50 kills, In 3rd is Aad0906 with 210 points and just 47 kills, Luxbock who is accustomed to sitting at the top of my scoreboards I assume, is just in 4th with 208 points and also 50 kills rounding out the players who have crossed 200 points are ESQuire on 205 and 46 kills and Middleton on just 201 and 48 kills

The GA medal is going to look good on my mantel with just the current 2nd place player RKCVED able to match my 22 predicted kills though they need to win all 9 of their remaining predicted map games or 5 on new world and 4 on AOR2 Good luck to them

Good luck in the remaining games and I do hope you have all enjoyed the tournament and will consider joining my future ones

[plurple]

Hello all most of you have had all of your games finished for a while but there was 1 stubborn game that was left till the early hours of this morning my time I was half expecting it to go to round limit but I was giving it till the end of the weekend and YouOnKazoo managed to claim the victory already

Ok on to more important topics the tournament is over and it was a much closer race that I thought I could hold out for unfortunatly I was taken out cruelly in my last game by D3A7H and RKCVED managed to hold out in their last game and so rose to the top of the pack 1 point ahead of me

So Huge congratulations to our tournament winner RKCVED who won the tournament on 244 points 57 kills 18 of which they predicted so 3rd best predictor. In second cruelly pipped to the post once more is me Plurple on 243 points 61 kills and 22 predicted wins so I do get the consolation prize of taking down the GA medal In 3rd place is Luxbock who I did fear was going to claim a second of my tournaments back to back but they only managed 237 points also with 57 kills but they only managed to predict a paltry 13 of there wins the last 2 players coming in just above 230 well on exactly 230 points are Middleton on 54 kills predicted 13 and Aad0906 who was on 51 kills but predicted 17 of them.

On to the good news for me I was the run away favourite for the GA medals prediction contest scoreing 22 out of 32 kills on my 4 chosen maps I should have gone with the crowd and picked FE over conquer500 as I severly underperformed on the race track and would have gotten 25 predictions with the FE choice. In second is Devante so no prize for them but they got an impressive 19 predictions and should have switched out AOR3 for either AYBABTU, Antarctica or Middle ages to up there score to 21. and third was our illustrious champion who predicted 18 but AOR3 and City Mogul let them down so should have trusted in the peoples favourite FE and monsters

Now for a more comprehensive look at the predictions the highest score on any individual map was 29 points or 7 kills and a survive no one managed the perfect record. 3 of us had this as a chosen map and 2 managed to achieve it on a map they were less confident on Predictors: Devante on City Mogul, Plurple on AYBABTU, Xroads on Monsters. Others: Clanlord Carl on Middle ages and Meskoboy on Classic Conquest. However things didn't always go to plan while no one scored 0 on any map there were 3 players who achieved just 1 point on a map and so should probably avoid playing there if they like points Loenatiek on New World, The Mad Butcher on Conquer 500 and TomTheGreat on Jamaica which was especially bad as that was one of his chosen maps

Now you are probably all wondering what maps you should have picked well here it is below in a spoiler:

There was one player who picked all of there best maps The Warrior65 unfortunately they did not achieve enough kills on those maps otherwise the best predictors only managed a 75% rate which included Aad0906, Devante, Gorehound, Plurple and Vykingsfan64. Now those of you who left your fate in the hands of fate this may not have been wise as the best fate did was get a 50% correct and most of them were only 1 or 0 predicted maps were in the top 4 maps. For instance Meskoboy only got 7 predictions from his fate picked maps though if he had chosen wisely he could have gotten 24 predictions rivaling my best number

It looks like the players that were most confident on Labyrinth were the most likely to be correct with 66.66% 4 out of 6 of them being right, followed by Monsters at 60% 6 out of 10 and AYBABTU at 55% 11 out of 20
Inversely AOR1 only 1 player or 2 with the random achieved there best score here or 7.32% of the players 1 of 13, followed by Classic Conquest at 13.33% 2 of 15 and AOR2 at 20.45% 3 of 14 math stuff

Finally I guess I need to address the accidents I will in future assassin tournaments be implementing a punishment to the scores if there are lots by a single player the most we had this time was 5 though the average would be just 1 and idealy you get none as there are no nuke flying about

So I hope you all enjoyed the tournament and will join the next ittereation of this tournament which will come with some changes like removing my worst maps Monsters and AOR2 and thinking hard about those I scored less than half points but I will probably also make it escalating and 6 player this was meant to be esc but I must have gone into autopilot when I wrote the settings if you have any thoughts or commnets on the tournament please let me know and enjoy your games while I take a little break from running tournaments though I will inform you when I have the next one in signups

Oh and if anyone actually reads my recaps let me know as not sure if people like them or not

[RKCVED]

It took a lot of work to do this tourney. A round of applause for PLURPLE
