uhhh... he IS fighting you. A forfeit would make it much easier for you to claim 4th place.

Which poses an interesting question - how do we handle it if someone drops out in the middle of a game. Not that I necessarily think Frozzy will, but it might be a good idea to specify how to handle such a scenario.

I'd say it depends on when they drop out. Early in the game or before orders are sent it might be possible to re-shuffle contestants, but at a stage like this one (and current # of players) the fairest thing to do would be to call it a 'win' for 3 pts. The disadvantage is the winner can't get a KO.

Actually, you are reading too much into it. All matches against the dropped player would not used in calculating the winner/s.

This is round robin, so everyone plays everyone else regardless. Just because you won or lost previously to the dropped player, should not impact players that have a unplayed match, hence the best solution is to drop the player from the match and remove all results involving that player.

That would cost Doc 4 points! Do it!

Say player A has 12 pts and player B 10. A KOed player C earlier, while player B lost. Player C drops out, so now A has 8 pts. and B has 10.
That could cause more problems than it solves.

When is tonight for Drogue?

[Jamski]

Starting in about an hour, I'd say. He's on GMT.

Bet he posts them later when I'm out, tonight is games night.

[DrSpike]

Hey! No dropping my KO. Use a random choice from amongst his orders so far for the remaining games.

[Jamski]

Drogue actually HAS Frozzy's orders now... this is just hypothetical.

-Jam

[Drogue]

If a player drops out, I will use randomise his old set's or orders and use one of those. I think that's fairest and most in character. If someone is just late, I will either use their last set of orders (if a multiple part match) or substitute 11 in each box (if part 1).

Tabulating orders now.

[DrSpike]

Good. I'm keen to see if Jamski fell into my hackmaster trap.
