In the challenge games, [the 4 times the power graph is an automatic concession].

To avoid that me and Lung (and probably some others) are continuing playing games to turn 300 or longer even if we clearly have lost already by turn 125.

Birdman is a purist. He enjoys just playing CTP -- regardless of whether he wins or whether he loses. This concept is way too foreign to me... I'm not sure I buy it though Birdman! Are you truly that ZEN LIKE? Hat's off to you if its so. I am a long way from being that "detached".

Although this really should be posted on the SuperLeague thread, I cant be bothered to move. So...

David42one has defeated PhoenixCager.
David42one/Hatschy, and BerXpert/RedBull move into the GrandFinal slots.

i think you forgot to enter my match against Geoffrey Arnold.
We're in turn 5 now, btw.

Okay. I posted earlier that I will add the game once the turn reaches turn 10 (to avoid posting inactive games). But as you can't wait... DONE!

sorry i must have overlooked that.

btw, can i challenge anyone BELOW me in the standings ?
im just wondering how berXpert and Milamber could ever have challenged each other ....

ZEN-like? Well, I am not sure what that you think of.

But I have left the Midway game as no 1 (or was it as no 2 - did Franses and the Egyptians get me ) - now I am back as "the red light" together with the ruler of the vikings .

So yes - I do like to be the underdog. Like to try change the game - the challenge of getting better.

Probably an unhealty behaviour.

Yes, you can challenge anyone below if you want to (but in that case, the challengee may refuse without reason), that is how berXpert vs. Milamber started.

Actually, IIRC, the challenge was made via the SuperLeague, thus Quinn's rules wouldn't apply.

However, for all non-SuperLeague matches, Quinn's Rules DO apply, AFAIK

[Mathemagician]

Mathemagician vs. Hatschy - Turn 75
Mathemagician vs. Geoffrey Arnold - Turn 25 or so

Turn 118 to Birdman.
Turn 48 to Lung.
Turns 9 and 10 (dual duel) to Paulno1.

what is a dual duel ?
2 vs. 2 ?
how does that count on the ladder ?

[Mathemagician]

when does the 4xPG rule count ?
does it have to last for one full turn ?

It kicks in only after turn 20. It only needs to last for one turn, yes.
