Yes, what hett says is true, i was trying to leave cc at the time. But the 1 month of premium left and the battle at the top of the scoreboard kinda pulled me back.

I do regret not being a part of this challenge. It sounds like one of the best ones in a while. As for me and Marv not playing, that obviously gave THOTA a huge advantage. I mean, you can't seriously expect to win with us against you, can you?

Agree to a sense Bro, teams can be knowledgeable and the smartest players on the site...but if they cant work together as a single unit the talent or knowledge is wasted. They have to think alike and go in the same direction to be a winning team. That will overturn bad luck with the dice or beginning drop at times. As we have some games now together which seem to be going great, we seem to have the same ideas in those so far...and were leading all of them i think because of it.

And yes i think the Dragoons are probably the strongest opponents that we have faced so far...or at least since I have been a member. Certainly the most enjoyable for sure...

Right

I haven't checked for sure, but I think in most of our games the only thing I said was pointing out the obvious or saying "I like attacking" My point is, I know what I'm doing, and I assume that a Horseman like you would know too, so we should win the game. Unless, we get bad luck and/or the other team is not retarded. And if the other team also knows what to do, then it again comes down to luck.

So I have to give credit to the Dragoons, either they are really lucky to win as many as they did, or they are as good as teh Horsemen. I'm thinking luck was not a huge factor.

I think the only reason 2 good players could not work together is if they were both stubborn and didn't work together. But that rarely happens, if both of those players are good, they can work it out and figure out the best way to win.

updated and 3 left, this could be tied 20 to 20, next time we will do 54 or 60 games where there is more maps now

I think you're gonna be up 21 to 19,
But how funny would that be if it were tied LOL
Anyway, I do believe either a tie breaker or a best of three is in order simply for the sheer quality of the challenge. It's been one of the best ones I've been in.
Great play Dragoons/Thota.

we would have to do a rematch of another 40 or 54 if tied, this challenge was only 40 games, no more, unfortunately, I already discussed it with dw, so we would have to schedule a rematch. and, agreed, excellent challenge, now nester it may be 20 to 20, on the coral coast game i lost 7 armies in a row and you rolled hotter than a fire cracker and the total armies for both teams at the time was 39 to 39, so that game is tied currently and can swing either way.

nesterdude · Post by **nesterdude** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 11:05 am

Yeah, they were nice rolls, but I made a grave mistake on my turn...so we shall see how it pans out.

Fireside Poet · Post by **Fireside Poet** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 5:46 pm

Gotta agree here. Excellent games by both sides ... the bad dice get equalized by the excellent drops and vice-versa.

Win or lose, I tip my hat to the Dragoons on an excellent showing. I'm sure that THOTA won't underestimate us again.

Genghis Khan CA · Post by **Genghis Khan CA** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 5:58 pm

Yep a very good show by the dragoons, you have some excellent players in your clan

Looks like the result will probably hinge on the cairns game, although the other two are not absolute certainties yet.

Has certainly been our toughest challenge yet, hope for a rematch sometime!

nesterdude · Post by **nesterdude** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 11:20 pm

It's gonna be close...

nesterdude · Post by **nesterdude** » Tue Feb 19, 2008 11:48 am

Very very close, this may likely be a tie

... Once again I really enjoyed myself & thank you for a fab challenge, well played.

should it not be an odd number, so we can have a clear cut winner?

Thanks,

yes, 60 games sounds well, we have two upcoming smaller challenges with other clans, and will be more than ready to relive this one after the other two finish.

Not really.... I kinda like the idea that it could be a draw.. I mean if somebody wins 27-26 its hardly a clear cut winner is it... it's clearly a very close game.. whereas if someone goes 24-16 then theres a clear winner... I think 20/20 truly resembles what a great challenge this was and we both had equal good & bad luck and skilled players alike.

Next time it will be over more games perhaps 60 total with 15-20 members from each clan taking part. Hopefully then there might be a clear winner

.. once again lots of fun and good game.
