anyone who plays me with the pupu platter (every expansions) has at least a 50% chance of winning, probably a good deal more

I think we should arrange a best of 7 between you two. The champion needs a Bellator style superfight while he awaits the next tournament winner.

 

[AstroLad]

think i just had a good run of luck in the tourney. i don't really purport to be all that good at ascension, if that's even a thing you can be

 

[tm24]

Astro, why did you forfeit our SW game?

 

[Smiley90]

Slacker, why did you forfeit our SW game?

FTFMYSELF

 

[ScrabbleDude]

tm, I'm in for your SW Cup. I don't know my wins/loss. 25 - 34 or something close to that.

 

[RaySpencer]

Man, that's 2 nightfall games in a row vs smiley, that the card I use to link together my good card has fucked me over, haha.

I need to pay more attention, I haven't lost yet, but its not looking good.


I also just fucked up my turn in SW vs Kosh One, stupid phoenix elf summoner move needs to be closer than his regular attack, now I'm going to have a Baldar on my ass for 1 turn, and if he's got the right cards I could lose just from that, haha.

 

[Kosh]

You're still alive Ray.

I want to sign up for the SW August league. My record is an abysmal 18-28.

 

[AstroLad]

Astro, why did you forfeit our SW game?

yep sorry about that, screwed up. i'll reiterate, these games NEED chat

very excited in the league though just don't put me in hereafter's bracket or whatever

 

[chicobalay]

Would like to try a game of San Juan online. Anyone interested? Played it yesterday offline, nice game!

Any updates on Formula Feud (or whatever the Formula De clone is called)?

Any updates on Formula Feud (or whatever the Formula De clone is called)?

All we know so far is "it's coming this week", so hopefully tonight?

 

[AirBrian]

Bah, I need some turn-based racing!

Any chances of it getting shut down? I had read somewhere that the original makers of De might not be too happy? I'm not well-versed on the board game clone iOS industry.

Operation: Eradicat is out too and it's pretty much a Pandemic clone, but called differently so it's not the same... not sure what they're gonna do, but I think they'll be fine. They're waaaay too far along now to just be shut down, I'm sure the publisher would've intervened earlier.

 

[AirBrian]

Good point. Well then hopefully we're racing in the next 24 hours!

 

[AstroLad]

I was just thinking how awesome it would be if Twilight Struggle & Labyrinth: The War on Terror had iPad apps. Gah!! At least give me Agricola. Pleease.

As far as the D app I will get it if people say it's good. I'm a bit wary of knockoff apps though ever since that Pandemic knockoff was a pretty bad implementation. Android has way higher quality knockoffs. But if it's good, then great. I honestly don't see why we can't have a pretty decent industry where people build great implementations and then do some sort of revshare with the company to get the license. Sadly I'm sure some of it has to do with licensing complexities, but I do think a lot of it has to do with the shortsightedness of some publishers, feeling that they need to control every detail, derive huge revenues from the app itself (ignoring the publicity element), etc. :/

I'm online but i can't invite anyone through gamecenter, can you give it a look?

sent you an inv. it's in online play. hmm now the inv gets sent out but then goes away. weird.

gc async is so jank

 

[Gatekeeper]

Good point. Well then hopefully we're racing in the next 24 hours!

According to the BGG comment thread, the developer has pulled the game from the queue. Here's hoping a resolution can be reached, some day.

 

[sladeums]

Skimming the Formula Feud thread on TA was not very inspiring.
Here's a few random dev quotes :

"To find all of your friends already playing this little gem, just connect to Facebook or Twitter and let the game find your friends for you!"

"The game includes one completely free track and you can also get one more for free if you just post a status to Facebook or Twitter.
After that you have several more tracks that you can purchase via the Feud Store!"

"GameCenter is not supported right now because of some features lacking...
In iOS6 Apple has done some improvements so we might look into it further along!"

In other IOS racing news, Slingshot Racing got an async multiplayer update today along with a price drop to $0.99.

 

[Hereafter]

I want to join the SW tourney for August or whenever. I noticed people are posting their records, do I need to too?

You`ll be the Nr1 seed anyway, so... I`d say you can skip that unless you want to frustrate every future opponent.

 

[AstroLad]

Are we already signing up? Think maybe people are getting prematurely excited.

 

[RaySpencer]

Thats good to hear!


I hope I still am next turn too, haha.

 

[Mike Works]

Anyone here play 8 Bit Ninja? It's a fun little pick up and play.

 

[Hereafter]

Thats good to hear!


I hope I still am next turn too, haha.

You are winning our little squabble too!

There is an actual league now?

 

[Smiley90]

Naw, we'll do a tournament with a group stage first, that's about it. More info will come later I suppose, I think Ray (?) is organizing it?

Uhh, wha? No chance! Haha.

No idea who's organizing, all I ask is we keep it in this thread. Haha.

 

[tm24]

Jesus, people, i said next week! Calm down!

 

[Vard]

Carc tourney update:

I beat wideawakewesley 107-80. Was a good game, I took all of the big 27 point farm with the very last tile.

 

[Smiley90]

Raaaaay you didn't end your turn in the NShex game... I think... i see you setting tiles but it's still your turn

Also, Carc tourney, I don't know where inaudiblewhisper is but I always have to wait like 2, 3 days for him to make a turn... Was waiting from the 5th to the 8th and now waiting since

 

[RyanDG]

Finally bought summoner wars. I enjoy the physical game quite a bit, and I am really happy with the way this has turned out on ios. Went ahead and flat out bought the entire 7.99 pack after the tutorial even though I am probably only going to be playing as the Cave Goblins to give Playdek more of my money and to hopefully help with a speedier release of Agricola.

 

[Slacker]

CARCASSONNE

Getting closer to the end.

Do we have an update on soldat7 vs Got the Shakes?

And Smiley90 keep trying with Inaudible. You'll have to wait on the winner of the above game anyway. Once one of the two games we're waiting on finishes, we'll deal with the other if it's not moving.

Sad indeed. I killed countless nights there. Hopefully the iPad version will measure up.


Anyone playing the new TF2 team in Hero Academy? They are going to take some getting used to. There is a lot of variety in the units. Feel free to challenge Slacker to a game if you're playing.

 

[superrobot]

....overcome with optimism and hope after 2 weeks of Olympics....

 

[AstroLad]

i work with the dude who made isotropic. didn't even know that until recently

 

[Gamecocks625]

Sold my iPad (3rd gen) to get ready for the iPad mini. Having to suffer through Carc on my wife's iPod touch...yuck. Man the smaller screen sucks. Can't see anything and have made quite a few mistakes as a result in recent 1v1s. Totally different game on the iPad display. So much room!

Whoever plays me in the final has to wait until September. lol

Spoiler

sort of kidding

 

[AstroLad]

And Carc is one of the few games that works decently on there. That screen is just too small compared to other phones so it's no wonder Apple is finally catching up to the rest of the industry with the 5. Playdek games are just WOW in terms of so much stuff squeezed onto there. Though I do commend the effort and definitely appreciate the larger playerbase.

I play all my games on my iPhone (Carc, SW, HA, LeHavre). :lol I keep putting off buying an iPad, but I'll be breaking down when the next one comes out!

And GG Astro on that last SW game. I hope that wasn't a newbie pity win!

 

[AstroLad]

haha no way. i've been doing pretty mediocre recently trying out some new strategies but i do always go for the gusto

 

[eznark]

Beat Astro in three turns. No big deal.

Been there, done that. And without building magic

Ok, on my list of things to do.

Wait, is that possible in Agricola?
