View Full Version : Random PBEM Challenge Full

Anyone interested in a one loss elimination playoff via PBEM? Obviously to limit time and drop outs there would be strict settings. Maybe limit to 3-4 games, possibly having 2-3 players per game, and on small or smaller maps. Random settings, random civs, no tech trading (AI optional) and let the chips fall where they may! Would just be for bragging rights of course, and not a true measure of skill under those circumstances. If anyone is interested in being involved just post here and I'll get a roster together if enough sign up.

Again, if you're interested post. If you want to shoot this down go away. We can argue about the settings once you've shown interest.

Official Roster:
me
beorn

barbu
bclg

romeo
soc

Igloodude
Killercane

I am positive I replied to this earlier, must have missed the reply button or something.

A pyramidal 1-loss-out tournament would be fun. And I need my virgin ass to be punctured at one point by the Civ4 dagger - notice I'm not really counting the civivor one just yet, mainly because I keep forgetting to play those pitboss turns and Whomp (who does it really well, both keeping track and playing) has the ungrateful job of covering up for me in there.

Sweet, one sucker...er...player down, 4-6 more to go ;)

socralynnek

Oh, a CDZ tourney!

I don't wanna miss that!

(Disclaimer: I might not make to play a turn every day, maybe every 2nd day, but I might be available for power sessions)

romeothemonk
05-11-2007, 12:47
I could be down for this

mauer
05-11-2007, 12:59
Great! That makes 5, do we want to shoot for 6 or 8? There's no rush yet I think, but we can go ahead and pair up if you want. Any outright challenges or do you want me to randomly select the matches?

BCLG100
05-11-2007, 13:15
i'd play but i can't play if its nilla.

mauer
05-11-2007, 13:21
Oh right, I guess there should have been a disclaimer. Does everyone have BTS?

barbu1977

mauer
05-11-2007, 17:41
So far I've got:
me
beorn

barbu
soc

romeo
bclg

If there are two more that would like to get involved then they can pair up. I think more than that would be too much to track. feel free to create the save yourself. Just remember to have it all random except the map size and difficulty setting. I'm guessing noble is good for all. AI is optional. Remember this is for fun, and mostly intended to show you all that I'm the king :D

Just post here once the game has started.

mauer
05-11-2007, 17:50
Oh, and tech trading off as well.

Beorn
05-11-2007, 18:01
Isn't romeo restricted to vanilla and warlords though?

If we go against each other, I'll let you fire it up; I'll take Victoria, email is bolducf at gmail.

mauer
05-11-2007, 18:09
Everyone probably has warlords as well I'd assume. Either way, BCLG has warlords so they can play on that.

Beorn
05-11-2007, 18:20
Re:PM
Then random civs it is.

mauer
05-11-2007, 22:07
Save sent Beorn :D

mauer
05-11-2007, 22:16
I must say, I'm truly surprised we had 6 people sign up in one day. For an even playoff type tournament though, we still need two more people. Anyone else want to join in?

Beorn
05-11-2007, 22:35
We just rock. Game on - figuring out how to autosend will come...

BCLG100
06-11-2007, 00:55

mauer
06-11-2007, 01:06
What save are you talking about BC?

romeothemonk
06-11-2007, 01:17
My game with BC would not necessarily follow the proscribed rules here: 4 variations
1) 1-3 levels above par (Noble)
2) Continents with 2 pet AI each, small islands are allowed
3) Opponent selects a group of 3 leaders for you to select from
4) Fight to the death with flamethrowers at 10 paces

IglooDude
06-11-2007, 01:24
If there's a seventh player that signs up, then mark me down as the eighth player, purely for mathematical even-ness. :)

Ah, I get it now. Sorry, didn't realize you two were playing one already. I just paired everyone up in the order they signed up.

If they haven't started already then I'll change it to the following:
me
beorn

barbu
bclg

romeo
soc

Also, Igloodude can play with himself [col]. I guess we wait for an 8th for you ID, or you can play the winner of whoever finishes their game first. Preferably the former.

Beorn
06-11-2007, 03:32
Ours will be quick, mauer!

mauer

So... is someone making the PBEM maps, or we initiate our own, or what?

socralynnek
06-11-2007, 14:43
I'd even be fine with someone making one map for all 4 matches. But that would mean I wouldn't be allowed to read other spoilers.

mauer
06-11-2007, 14:52
Just go ahead and make the map yourself. It's easier that way and much more random.

Beorn
06-11-2007, 15:01
I suggest one of the first round losers make a map for the finals, but then random all the way is fine with me.

whats your e-mail and are we on BtS or warlords?

barbu1977
06-11-2007, 19:21
My email adress is shown in my msn messenger profile.

I have BtS but it has not been installed yet! I don't have warlords so I guess BtS is better.

romeothemonk
07-11-2007, 04:22
Soc, if you want to start one, go nuts. I am good with either warlords or Vanilla, total random is cool with me. I just want the oppurtunity to play some.

socralynnek
07-11-2007, 08:43
you don't have BTS, romeo?
AFAICS I can't start warlords when having vanilla and bts. So that would mean vanilla.

As I haven't started a PBEM yet (others did that for me) that is new for me, but I can do that hopefully today.

Where shall I send it?

Here's the bracket formation btw. Just a suggestion here, but what would you guys think about speeding this up by adding an incentive? I know it just started, but I was thinking maybe the first winner from each bracket gets to pick his civ for the next game? Just an incentive to finish faster is all, thoughts?

EDIT: My bracket looks terrible, can someone make a nice and pretty one?

This thing is pretty nifty:

barbu vs BC has kicked off

great plains, normal speed, normal amount of AI+2, prince level. everything else random

romeothemonk
08-11-2007, 01:20
Deal (First winner picks civ). I am the equivalent of PRINCETON, due obviously to my superior intelligence, not my lack of offense. (In reference to Grahamiams barb on the pool).
I would actually seed myself as #6 in this turney, and betting is welcome, as I can set some lines, and take my vig on the action.

BCLG100
08-11-2007, 01:33
I'd say ynnek or mauer is number one seeing as they've won a pitboss.

admitedly i was smacking down on ynnek in our pbem and ID, oh and i beat cody. Still though, pitboss :D

mauer
08-11-2007, 01:43
What a joker! I won out of pure luck. I'd seed myself....just after the last guy.

I am having trouble opening the save. It says that it is protected, but I just did a fresh uninstall, reinstall of c4, patch and download the latest directX.
Thoughts?

Beorn
08-11-2007, 02:13
I'd seed myself just below mauer to add insult to injury when he loses.

socralynnek

Hmmm, romeo. I didn't set lock modified assets. Maybe it has something to do with passwords ( I have set an amin password and my own). Has someone an idea?

I'm okay with whatever random settings too, as long as we're not separated by ocean. Fire it up and email it to me @gmail.com (username same as here).

mauer
08-11-2007, 17:05
I have no idea soc. Maybe try to start a different one? Different patches maybe?

Ok, how about some BCS style seeding? Wecan see how good perception matches with reality.

Everyone send me a PM ranking the 8 of us (1-8) with 1 being, in your opinion, the best and 8 being the worst. I'll average it out and then we can see how it plays out.

I can do another reload, but I want to make sure that it is worth my time.

BTW, did you get my test email?

09-11-2007, 00:41
One more to vote *cough*ynnek*cough*. Based on perception alone the #1 and 2 spot are pretty definitive and almost unanimous.

BCLG100
09-11-2007, 00:41

barbu any chance of a power session tomorrow evening my time?

mauer
09-11-2007, 03:16
You two, BCLG and Barbu, better get on the move. Beorn and I are pushing 60 turns already. First winner that finishes picks the civ for the next match ;)

romeothemonk
09-11-2007, 03:27
I did another uninstall and full install bringing the total to 3.
This time however, I also uninstalled Xfire, so maybe that was somehow corrupting my mod folder, etc.

romeothemonk
09-11-2007, 03:33
Anyone know what is supposed to be in my mods folder?

romeothemonk
09-11-2007, 03:54
I uninstalled again, moved the folder Firaxis and all its contents to the Recycle bin, emptied it, then reinstalled. Still not working.
I did find what may have been the culprit. I played a Civ 4 SG with TmC and Bezhokov and someone else with the Turks mod. I think I got all traces, but it still is giving me crap. Can we play an "open" save, and play on our honor? I will have all the saves availible for viewing if someone wishes to audit, etc.

I am growing quite frustrated here.

socralynnek
09-11-2007, 09:00
Strange. I am on the newest patch (1.74 IIRC) and doing it with vanilla.

romeo, if your name is (damn I forgot what name there was in the mail) then I got your test mail.
Or it was some starange junk mail with just the line "test" in it...;)

Yeah, I'd be fine with an open save(as I will be doing spoilers anyway and therefore have to trust that you don't read it). The password just helps to avoid someone opening the wrong save by chance.

mauer
09-11-2007, 11:05
Well folks, the results are in. Again based on perception alone the rankings are as follows:

1 BCLG
2 Killercane
3 Mauer
4 ynnek
5 Igloodude
6 barbu
7 Romeo
8 Beorn...[:s] B is kicking my tail already...in points anyways.

romeothemonk
09-11-2007, 13:07
Ynnek, I plan on trying to have detailed spoilers as well. It should be pretty obvious to everyone that I am not really a computer guy. As one of my favorite lines from the great American comic Bloom County goes,
"I find this man innocent, he doesn't have the brains to pick his nose much less operate a computer."

BCLG100
09-11-2007, 13:17
This might sound obvious- you are both attempting to play the save on the same game right? ynnek vanilla romeo vanilla?

Also instead of zipping the save, try just sending it to each others email address.

thirdly i spose romeo could try creating it, its really easy to do.

last of all, who the shit voted me the best player and what were they on?

killercane
09-11-2007, 15:02
Well I voted Mauer first since he beat both of us.

Beorn
09-11-2007, 15:08
Mauer, I need votes to put good odds, otherwise it's still more or less arbitrary (not that it isn't already)

Simon, I was on chicken roast.

mauer
09-11-2007, 15:17
I wouldn't even know where to begin at sorting out the odds. Remember this poll is amazingly UNSCIENTIFIC, and was perception based ONLY. Finish your games & settle the matter ;)

I'm just glad that I've fooled you guys into thinking I'm good, & am debating on whether to finish or not to keep it that way!

BCLG100

BCLG 9/2 or 22.2 %
KC 5/1 or 20.0 %
Mauer 7/1 or 14.3 %
ID 12/1 or 8.3 %
Ynnek 13/1 or 7.7 %
Barbu 14/1 or 7.1 %
Romeo 15/1 or 6.7 %
Beorn 20/1 or 5.0 %

With Ohms being the standard measurement for BtS resilience, naturally. This leaves 8.7% profits for the bank.

Edit: Odds of ID vs B in the finals would be about 10% and 9%, for 0.9% of both of us facing off, using my shady chart.

Ynnek,
I started a game, small, fractal, all random except age, no tech trading. I emailed you the save. Let me know if it is good to proceed.

i'll put 10 imaginary pounds on romeo, those odds i should make a packet.

romeo, I had the same problem than you had.

I did that fix that barbu described in the other thread, which he found there:

http://z9.invisionfree.com/Civ4_ISDG_Alternate/index.php?showtopic=2&st=870

It worked.

I send you that save.

Can't we take the game before? I had a better starting position there...;)

romeothemonk
10-11-2007, 18:46
And Romeo vs Socralynnek is off and running!!
Yay team!!

I just thought about something. What if someone is a goob and quits the PBEM? That would completely mess up the whole tournament :S

Beorn
11-11-2007, 16:34
Abandoning a tournament game is a loss by default...

romeothemonk
11-11-2007, 17:37

BCLG100
12-11-2007, 00:58
you two are going to have to play best of 3 the pace of yours compared to everyone elses!

mauer
12-11-2007, 01:03
It's slowed down a bit. I haven't received a save in over 2 hours. Default win for me then?

Beorn
12-11-2007, 01:54
I had to work: go teach a lesson to a clueless young man [estwing], so now I'm back home for some free time in which I'll teach a lesson to a clueless yound civ player [fdevil]

GPS turn 88, 675BC

Beorn
12-11-2007, 02:11
And I just came this close to winning by default because the opposing party refuses to play me "under such hostile circumstances" as what game climate I give him. But he still plays so ... bets are still on.

If the Rockies can make it to the World Series then I have a shot at runner-up in this tourney.

Sorry for the delay, I just did turn 1 and sent it back to KC.

mauer
16-11-2007, 03:01
I threw in the towel. Pretty much a lost cause against the beast known as Beorn.

Beorn
16-11-2007, 03:51
Good game, bad starting spot balance, fair call for the towel. Revenge match is underway, but it's off tournament. Waiting on you guys for round 2 ;)

mauer

Hmm, So the underdogs have already won one game.
Ill see if they can't win another.

Maybe there will be a consolation bracket.

KC, I sent you the 1st turn response this morning.

So how's everyone's games coming along? Have seen a few spoilers from you guys, just being nosey now though. Beorn and myself are on game 2, although it doesn't count this time. He's already razed one of my cities. So I'd say it's a combination of Beorn being under rated, and myself being over rated.

Somebody needs to make some kind of "prize" for the win also. Maybe the winner gets a night out with EM?

barbu1977
27-11-2007, 22:27
BC and I are at 3080BC, moving slowly but surely

killercane
27-11-2007, 22:42
ID is setting my inbox on fire but Ive been able to keep up so far at about 1 a day.

Beorn
27-11-2007, 23:00
Who's EM?

Btw, if it's any consolation to these guys who are trying to hold back from falling into the whole "Beorn is doubleplusgood and underrated" Mauer propaganda, my vulture barely made it through the forest since he had a woods 2 promotion - which mauer failed to notice in time - and the city was defended by a sorry little lonely spear. Meanwhile, he had time to destroy the strongest empire in the game while on my end I almost lost everything trying to capture a barbarian city.

Oh, and game 2 is at 250 BC or so. That is, Game #2. Move along! [:p]

mauer
27-11-2007, 23:33
Actually, the city was defended by two axes and a spear. I just moved the axes out to "block" a woods 2...sheesh. Oh, and EM is the one day to be "Mrs. BCLG". You know she's got no standards if she's dating island boy.

Robi D
28-11-2007, 07:26
Or it shows just how low the standard of island boys is :D

BCLG100
28-11-2007, 15:06
me and barbu are getting there slowly but surely- i think barbu having a life and the different timezones- coupled with my inability to notice a turn is in the inbox is leading to the slow pace- we've found each other now though!

KillerCane? Haven't gotten anything since I sent back the save Friday night...

socralynnek
17-12-2007, 19:10
I have given up. romeothemonk has won.

Non optimal tech path and starting position let's me see no chance of winning.

I have too seldom played PBEM...

mauer
17-12-2007, 20:48
Updated chart below. Beorn and Romeo get to pick their civs in the next matchup for finishing first in their respective brackets. Two upsets, two more to go.

Been a month since we've had an update ... are you all scared enough already and resigned the tourny?

we are still working on it. We are going around a 2turn/day rate.

what with ID retiring from like everything does that mean kane goes straight on through?

Beorn
09-02-2008, 19:28
Sounds like it

killercane
09-02-2008, 21:36
Yeah for me! Why dont we do the next round online turn based or something. Set aside a couple hours at a time will probably go faster.
