French Brawl is cool because we can watch games while they are happening. We are watching you Kezzo! :D (And from the surface, it seems you play French Brawl really well, though we, as observers cannot see the army counts and trades..).

90

Made a fucking balls of a turn in one of my games. Went into a adrenaline fueled rage, injured my hand. I realised I was going through the 7 stages of grieving.

SHOCK & DENIAL
PAIN & GUILT- ...
ANGER & BARGAINING- ...
"DEPRESSION", REFLECTION, LONELINESS- ...
THE UPWARD TURN- ...
RECONSTRUCTION & WORKING THROUGH- ...
ACCEPTANCE & HOPE-

The last 3 stages are poetic bullshit, I'm on stage 3 atm. God fucking damn it...

Light fog is good, but it leads to temptation of commenting on the game.
and 90, you're active again ;)

@platinum pictures of busted hand or didn't happen. it'll also help you reach stage 4 sooner

We all know that Platinum is just playing mind games with his opponents ;)

and yes Maayan, :: *ops* :: must refrain from commenting :)

Update #2 - April 22nd, 2018

Words to live by in Clan League Division A, no? Planning could mean when to join a game, thoughfully making picks, or careful turn-by-turn analysis. We now have five completed games and that planning is... going better for some than others.

1v1 French Brawl

(1-0)  M'Hunters	-  Rogue NK
(0-0)  [Lynx]	-  Wini
(0-0)  MASTER Clan	-  Pardon99
(0-0)  ONE!		-  Beren - apex
(0-0)  Outlaws	-  Kezzo
(0-0)  VS		-  Nackickwind
(0-1)  |GG|		-  Mikaela

https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=15375957
Rogue NK (MH) defeats Mikaela (GG)
Pretty much the only thing Mikaela couldn't afford to do on Turn 1 was get eliminated in the northeast, and, well... it was only a matter of time after that.

1v1 Guiroma

(1-0)  MASTER Clan	-  master of desaster
(0-0)  |GG|		-  MisterT
(0-0)  [Lynx]	-  Quicksilver
(0-0)  ONE!		-  Ipsimus
(0-0)  Outlaws	-  Krzysztof
(0-0)  VS		-  INSIDE
(0-1)  M'Hunters	-  Emu Pub

https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=15389361
MoD (Masters) defeats Emu Pub (MH)
Emu Pub plays 3 good turns here, building a 15-10 income advantage and surely a win, and then... loses his damn mind. A move from Lycia in Turn 4 is blamed on a misclick, which would explain why it doesn't make any sense, but it's also in the complete opposite direction that he wanted to go. Check your orders carefully, everyone! Emu manages to sneak Illy, but MoD delays his socks off Turn 6. From there, Emu desperately expands at the same rate that MoD runs him over and it's gg.

(0-1)  VS		-  Private Pabse

https://thereisnolinktothisgameyounon-joiningnoobs.com
MoD (Masters) "defeats" Private Pabse (VS)
If anyone took the under on the prop bet "Will anyone boot or non-join a game in the first 10 days of clan league"... you win!
Please consult Norman's strategy guide for how to join a game.

https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=15409880
Fireice82 (GG) defeats Cluster (MH)
These two make nearly identical picks from 1 to 12. Cluster makes a weird move on Turn 1 - instead of moving from the mountains to the exceptional lands in the south, or really just moving anywhere... he just sits and blockades. Fireice82 grabs an easy income advantage as a result and cruises to the win.

Masters defeats M'H
Now, I've never played 3v3 Europe so I will be consulting with others for game analysis here, but I could tell that M'H left the center too wide open for Masters to get easy/quick income and an easy/quick win. I can't really print Plat's reaction to M'H's picks if we want to keep this a family show, let's just say they need work.

---

I'm not sure we've seen a legitimately well played game on both sides yet. But then again, maybe that's why these five games ended so quickly...

Current Standings:


I'll get fancier here when it gets more interesting.

Good luck this week!

Edited 4/30/2018 05:51:31

good post and see you next week!

best scorekeeper ever! Kinda upset u did not mention me tho. jost for the sake of it.

Stop stalling and finish a game! :)

Damn stallers, they ruined stalling!
(Nice update!)

Why does everything look so pretty? And how did you upload all the little clan icons?

Edited 4/23/2018 09:32:59

Great update!

How does one get one's clan to join these clan leagues?

Have 6 players willing to play 3 tournament's worth of tournaments,

Register your clan when the clan sign-up stages comes up.

			       		"Kazzo stronk."

						- Kezzo

Update #3 - April 29th, 2018

The results have started to roll in, as each clan has now finished at least two games. Kezzo, upset that I had yet to mention him, took matters into his own hands by winning three games this week - how did everyone else do?

1v1 French Brawl

(3-0)  Outlaws	-  Kezzo
(1-0)  M'Hunters	-  Rogue NK
(0-0)  MASTER Clan	-  Pardon99
(0-0)  VS		-  Nackickwind
(0-1)  ONE!		-  Beren - apex
(0-1)  [Lynx]	-  Wini
(0-2)  |GG|		-  Mikaela

https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=15375958
Kezzo (Outlaws) defeats Beren - apex (ONE!)
In a game that appeared to favor Beren on picks, Kezzo pulled some Matrix-dodging-bullets ninja moves in the northeast Turn 1 to Turn 3, gained an income advantage by Turn 4, and put the nail in the coffin by finishing the northwest 3-bonus on Turn 6.

https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=15439117
Kezzo (Outlaws) defeats Wini (Lynx)
This game was worthy of the name French Brawl, as these two had even 6 to 6 income from Turn 5 to Turn 10 until Kezzo was able to turn a slight advantage into a win.

https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=15506230
Kezzo (Outlaws) defeats Mikaela (GG)
Kezzo makes a mistake by getting his pick in the middle of all of Mikaela's potential income eliminated on Turn 1, which makes an 8 turn game about 5 turns too long. But he recovers quickly and rides an income advantage and some good predictions to another win.

Ok, enough about Kezzo. If you want to know more, I'm sure he'll be happy to talk about it.

1v1 Guiroma

(1-0)  MASTER Clan	-  master of desaster
(1-0)  |GG|		-  MisterT
(1-0)  [Lynx]	-  Quicksilver
(0-0)  Outlaws	-  Krzysztof
(0-1)  ONE!		-  Ipsimus
(0-1)  VS		-  INSIDE
(0-1)  M'Hunters	-  Emu Pub

https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=15458775
Quicksilver (Lynx) defeats INSIDE (VS)
A back and forth game. INSIDE seems to snatch an advantage on Turn 7, only to misplay it back to Quicksilver by a combination of greed and good predictions by his opponent.

https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=15389362
MisterT (GG) defeats Ipsimus (ONE!)
Most of the game is a monumental battle between Syria and Arabia with a little expansion sprinkled in. The last two turns are kind of interesting though - MisterT takes a massive income hit, only to snatch enough back (with a little help from random move order) and win the game.

https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=15389364
Master of the Dead + Master Jz (Masters) defeat MIFRAN + Ko (GG)
A battle between pre-tournament favorites goes to Masters. I wouldn't say they even tried that hard to take all of South America and Southeast Asia (picks 3-6), but GG barely took a flyer on those areas and Masters rode the safe income to a relatively quick win.

https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=15389368
awesomeusername + linberson + Mikaela (GG) defeat hobo + AyanM + Jo Jo (MH)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that linberson boots and gets random picks. Luckily they aren't... terrible... but this does not appear to bode well for MH, who couldn't take advantage.

Did you know there's a character limit on forum posts? I found it, apparently.

Current Standings:


(1) Masters
(Total Points 1st // Max Points T-1st // % Points T-1st)
By any measure, Masters have taken the lead. This week they win one game (+4 TP) and remain undefeated (4-0)

(2) |GG|
(Total Points 2nd // Max Points 6th // % Points 3rd)
A statisticians nightmare (or delight), it's hard to determine exactly how GG is doing so far. The fact of the matter is that other clans currently have to catch up - but very much have the means to do so. This week they win two games (+8 TP) and lose two games (-7 MP).

(3) Kezzo
(Total Points 3rd // Max Points T-1st // % Points T-1st)
Kezzo, er, Outlaws make the biggest gain this week. They win 3 games (+9 TP) and remain the only other undefeated team (3-0).

(4) Lynx
(Total Points 4th // Max Points 3rd // % Points 4th)
Lynx wins one game (+3 TP) and loses one game (-3 MP) this week.

(5) M'Hunters
(Total Points 5th // Max Points 7th // % Points T-6th)
M'Hunters off to a rocky start... but hey, they've won a game! This week they lose one game (-5 MP).

(T-6) ONE!
(Total Points T-6th // Max Points T-4th // % Points T-6th)
Is CL9's cinderella story wearing off? It's a small sample size, but ONE! starts off with two losses (-6 MP) this week.

(T-6) VS
(Total Points T-6th // Max Points T-4th // % Points T-6th)
Not to be outdone, VS loses one game this week (-3 MP) and is also searching for its first win...

See you next week!

It looks like the image/icon links broke? Tried following one and got this: http://i68.tinypic.com/29wafpg.png

I'll check to see what it looks like when I get home. For some reason, the pictures are blocked when I log on at work and it effs up all the formatting. I'll check in a couple hours.

Using the following should work. Don't clikc the link, unless you want to dl the image. Just [ img ] the link. I know the imges Bosai worked when he made the post. But v thoose links should persist at least. (Well...don't know if they do if a clan changes logo :/ But I think they do)

Yeah - see I'm home now and everything appears normal/unblocked to me now. Seems odd that it would change for everyone. Anyways, thanks for those, I'll try them out, maybe I just need a different way of creating the images (because there are others that will still be affected).
