You say that, but he's still on it :p

There was another person who dropped out shortly after him.

Ah you are right, I was talking of Munin.

I was sending friggles a PM, in case he still wants to participate if the is back until monday. I said the same to Fresquito and thought it would only be fair to offer him the same.

But since he didnt got back to me since then, I suppose he is quite short of time right now.

We'll see. I am not crossing him out yet if I dont need to ;)

TheConfidenceMan beat me with, well, with confidence I guess :)

Since TheConfidenceMan is offline I've taken the liberty of uploading the vid, should be OK I guess.

We started out with 3 MGs each. I lost one due to a mistake from me/good anticipation by my opponent. Then I might have had a chance to even out the score but it's hard to really push with only MGs. I tried to push it, but guessed wrong and ended up with bulletholes in all my green guys. Their vatform lives snuffed out, just like that. Ah well, more where those came from :)

So gg's to TheConfidenceMan, well played :)

Yeah, you need to make an extra waypoint a tiny step away to make a duck command again.

Or you could do something like this. Actions don't have to be placed on waypoints.

Yeah, I don't know why but youtube killed 3 of the 4 videos I tried to upload last night. Telling it to record offline and then manually uploading to youtube worked every time though.

Yeah, there are only a few commands you can't place and can only exist at a waypoint, like waiting (obviously). You can make pretty precise orders using both the timer line and the lines between waypoints to place orders.

Intense match. Had two gunners and two rockets each - all of our gunners got taken out after a few turns, leaving four rocket guys to blow the crap out of the level. A couple close calls but we managed to evade each others' explosions for the remainder.

Toma, I think there's an error with Group B. I've won 2 games but have 9 points. I guess it's a hangover from there being two videos of the same match being posted.

Pure chaos at the end with all of the grenades and rockets. Also a well placed granade in the second turn by TheExecutive. Well played game.

Really intense indeed. Well played by the both of you, when you have two RLs each there's nothing more to do then you both did imo.

I'm playing against most of you now (Group F), but I guess I'm in a different timezone then you (I'm in Europe) so it might take some time.

@TheExecutive, I haven't started our second game, since I'll probably not have a lot of time to play tomorrow. Feel free to challenge me, or I'll create a game after tomorrow.

Aww man just lost one of my games. Was very nervous about my last move and should have gone with my instincts >.< Uploading now.

1 Rifle 1 Shotgunner 1 Rocketeer match
Result:
Flayer 3 Soktos 0. Flayer wins!
Soktos played a brave bluff or misclick on turn 2, allowing his Rifle to die in a scenario which could be seen by simulating the turn and not moving any units. That was that, really.

Yeah, I got smoked for sure! Not exactly sure how that rifle man got toasted... I mean I realize that your guy had the drop on him, but when I ran the simulation, my guy got the drop on you... I'm sure I did something wrong. ;) Oh well, good game!

Almost won with 3 guys left if the aiming on my shotgun had been a tiny bit different. Or had the match lasted a fraction of a second later, my MG would've gotten his MG. Such a shame!

He retreated from the tourney due to time constraints. I gave him time until monday though to get back to it. If he doesnt respond to me or within this thread until then, you got one man less to worry about in your group ;)

Yeah, I got lucky here, totally clinging on at the end. I simulated your shotgun guy coming round that corner and my shotgun guy got him, but my guessing of his positioning must have been well off.

Anyone else having trouble exporting movies to youtube? I've done one successfully, but the next one says "Unable to convert file" in my youtube library. The most recent one I recorded offline and uploaded manually, but it got stuck at 480p for some reason.

I feel like I had an advantageous spawn. Even so I fucked up the kill at the beginning with the shotty, I could have gotten my opponents MG but I started aiming too late. The rest went pretty smoothly for me. GGs Mr_Appleby!

Okay, just finished my second game with Volodja. In both games one of us lost our only MG on the first turn. This is Group P.

Game 1:
cramen:
lost - 2
killed - 4

volodja:
lost - 4
killed - 2

Game 2:
cramen:
lost - 0
killed - 4

volodja:
lost - 4
killed - 0

I'm having trouble uploading as well at the moment. The games are 131842 and 133241.

I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate BigAT on our two games. I underestimated him twice and he had my number both times.

I really don't like how I managed these games. Too many stupid decisions, possibly partly because I am not really comfortable with GL and RL yet and they were basically the entirety of our matches.
However this doesn't take anything away from the fact that you shut me down pretty harshly in both games, especially with your granades in the first match.
Good games.

Give them a few more days time. I'll ask around next week who is in dire need of responses and will send out PM's to Gaffer that dont respond.

They get kicked afterwards if they dont, but I'd not like it come to that :)
I'll keep you updated, when we are going to do that.
