Damn. Khell hasn’t responded in here yet!

I voted ages ago but didn’t post! Yes, I’m in please.

[D'rek]

Well, it's official now. What's the plan?

[Blend]

To do 2x6, we would need at least 2 people who would be willing to play both games. Otherwise I guess we're doing 1x9.

[D'rek]

I'm willing to play both games. How bad can it be?

I don't really have a preference b/w 2x6 vs 1x9, I guess.

Well, Twelve has said that he MIGHT be willing/able to manage it, and like Gnaw said, I figure Tatts would be on board for two, so between the three of you I figure we can probably do a 2x6 - I guess Gnaw and I will work on getting our games ready this week.

Drek - think you could update and send us the passwords for Galactic Council and H&M (one to each of us) please?

[D'rek]

Could also do a 4p and a 6p game rather than 2x6.

True - but then do we just randomize who goes into which game? A 4 player game and a 6 player game will be very different. Could maybe stick the higher scorers from the last few games into the 4 player game with one of the mods and everyone else in the other maybe?

Some people might have personal preferences. I don't think it'll matter too too much.

Let's give everyone a chance to chime in with what they prefer:

1-Do you prefer {1x 9-player game} or {2x 6-player game} or {1x 4-player + 1x 6-player} ?
2-If the latter, do you prefer to be in the 4-p or 6-p game?
3-Would you want to play in 2 games simultaneously, if there is need?
4-Other thoughts

Just for the heck of it, I put together some stats on our games so far:



Technically, the highest averages are Khell, IH and Morgoth, based on the percentage of points gained in each game. I took the stats from either the final status phase update post (if it existed) or the most recent post before the final status phase if it didn't.

[Blend]

We could do 14 points for the 4 player game and 11 for the 6 player game, then they might more or less line up/end around the same time.

[Tattersail_]

I'd be in for one game, most preferably the 9 player game but don't mind if it's 4 or 6. Adapting to that would be a lot different. Either way two games would be too much for me.

[twelve]

I'm an addict so I'd do 2 games at once, preferably 2 6 player ones but I'm down for whatever.

[twelve]

And as my score percentage goes I clearly need more practice.

If I add the additional 3 points you would have scored in Status Phase for Game 3, your percentage goes up to 49!

[twelve]

Well based on the rules I don't get those 3 points because the game was over before I could score them.

Technically, according to the rules everyone gets to do the last status phase, and then if there is a TIE, the person with the higher initiative is the winner.

Nope.

87.7 The game ends immediately when one player has 10 victory
points. If multiple players would simultaneously gain their 10th
victory point, the player who is earliest in initiative order among
those players is the winner; if this occurs when players do not have
strategy cards, the player who is nearest the speaker (including the
speaker) in clockwise order is the winner.



Higher initiative does resolve the winner in the case of multiple players reaching the winning score simultaneously (e.g. from an agenda's effect), but the scoring of PO/SOs in the Status Phase is not simultaneous:

70.1 STEP 1—SCORE OBJECTIVES: Following initiative order,
each player may score up to one public objective and one secret
objective that can be fulfilled during the status phase. To score
an objective, he must fulfill the requirements on the card; if he
does, he gains a number of victory points indicated on the card.

Hmm... I suppose you're right. That would change some of the stats then, given I used people's Status Phase posts even if they were posted after the winner, and definitely used 9 points for you in game 3 given you had posted it in the game thread.

[Khellendros]

Hah, yeah, I suspect I’m not in the top three either, otherwise I’m far better at this game than I realised

I will play in one game, don’t mind the format.

[Tattersail_]

So start date?
