For what it's worth, my rating is now 33.2%
just gotta play more games...Also, isn't it pretty much ELO, but just displayed in % instead of number, Astro?
I don't think so, because I've played people with way lower % than me and gained 3.5 or whatever while they lost just a little (.5). In reality I shouldn't be gaining that much against lower-ranked people, at least under an Elo-like system. Quite possible I just misread something or something though.
Maybe they're taking your current "form" ibto account? The little arrow? As in, if you win against someone streaky you get more points than winning against someone on a losing streak (and if you're on a losing streak and manage to win you get more as if you just added another win to a winning streak)
No idea though.
I'll play if you need more people. I was kind of hoping we'd actually get one tournament of any game done before we started any more though!
We totally got an Ascension tourney done! like... months ago...

I'm bequeathing my ongoing Caylus games to my children in my will.
They'll have to complete those games before they find out their inheritance has been splurged on sales at the AppStore.

I deleted it, so cannot check .... but according to posts on TA you still have to sign into FB once you start the game since they are using FB for notifications.
If so : lol, wtf, and these guys are truly awesome!

Start your engines!
(Apparently you cannot invite a person on your friends list if you are already in the middle of a game with them. Finish up the old game first and then start one for the tournament.)

Single Game double elimination, or best of 3 double elimination? The games are short and fairly luck-based (more than Carc at least) so I wouldn't oppose a best of 3 double elimination format.
For this one, single game. Don't want it to drag on too long.
lol
It's scary that all these board game companies are giving their IP to untested developers. Stone Age was just announced by some first timers too. I hear that's a good game, so hopefully they don't botch it.
The second time I'd approve a monopoly.
PLAYDEK MONKEYS FOR SUPREME RULER
Seriously, i have tons of iOS games i havent got a chance to play because of TCM and Playdek. Stupid addictive games

Do we just report results in thread? If so, Squirrel_Killer defeats Thenafter, 68-39.

Fuuuu....
I just skipped over my movement phase in a game vs TM. I mean the game isnt lookin good for me right now anyway, but doing that certainly doesnt help, haha.

Kosh, the incoming Lost Cities invite is for the competition. unless I get a hand of high cards and then it's a friendly
Another Carc tourney update-
Good game, Yaboosh.
I won 114-93. Next up is the winner of the mikeworks/Mercviper match.

I have really good luck with the fallen kingdom phantom, I've only really gotten to use it maybe 7 times, but I think I've gotten 6's on at least 4 of those....
I'm going to hate when karma sets in and I can't roll a 6 ever again

I wish the phantom didn't turn games over like that. That is my biggest pet peeve about the game. Only when it happens to me of course

Haha, yeah I was pretty scared of your Anica, she would have sapped out all my magic in no time im sure, haha.
The good news is (and this is stupid for me to be telling to the best SW player we have here but,) that was my only Phantom, haha. Ive thought about putting in another 1, or maybe even 2 many times, but I just cant do it.
Im fairly certain that ive settled in on FK being my team now though (despite the fact that I have a losing record with them, haha), I just really enjoy how they play, there is so many weird nuances with them, and the fact that I find them pretty simple to play strategy wise. So I will probably send more invites your way, so I can get destroyed over and over and hopefully pick up some new strategies in games like this where its a mirror match, or grab a few deck tips from you after weve played a few more games.

Nope, anything is good. I've just made a couple big mistakes on my first turn in 2 of our games now, normally I would keep playing, but vs you there doesn't seem to be much point, haha.

Is it just me or is the Puerto Rico iPad app lacking the prospector role?? Or is it hidden somewhere?

Phew. Got a few good rolls in at the end there Kennah. that's our group finished. (SW)
Not quite. TM24 and I are in the middle of our playoff for second place. It's two out of three, I got the first game, just started the second.
Yeah, as soon as it wraps go for it

Of course. Good luck everyone.
Mhmmm, I think my game with Slacker just timed out? I was one turn away from a guaranteed win anyway (his units were all frozen and he had no cards left), but still... Seems like our group is the most inactive :/ tempted to just call all games against chico&slacker forfeit-wins unless they magically reappear? Are all other groups done but ours? Organizer, you decide.
Haha, saw this post before I got the notification on my phone. It was fun, we should play for fun.
If there's no progress by the time me and kosh settle our playoff, we're done!

Yeah I haven't any response at all for my games either.
In other news: Why for you forfeit our Ascension Game? I never get tired of you beating me by 2 points.
Me!!
