CTP PBEM Challenge Ladder -- Feb 2004

[berXpert]

I did not note I have a challenge from Blackice.

As you are 6 positions away I prefer to wait until you win vs checkmate or david42one in order to be more "fair" with rules accepted here.

If you apply for the rule where you challenge them and they don't respond then in 2 weeks we can play

[hatschy]

Hmm, I think the time has come to challenge you, berXpert. Since I'm currently no. 3 on the ladder, this shouldn't be a problem. Do you accept? If so, what are your preferences?

@quinns: Some updates for the ladder:

- chlg #11 with FlameFlash (a match from SuperLeague 1) ended last month; I won.

- chlg #19 with Frozzy (also from SL1) didn't make it beyond turn 11. I don't believe we will ever finish that one (Frozzy ??? ).

- chlg #40 with ricketyclik ended August 2003 (sorry for the delay); I won.

Ladder updated. Also, dropped mpteach and added back FlameFlash. Thanks for the updates.

Right, that is your prerogative, berXpert. Anyone may challenge anyone, as did blackice. But you are not obliged to accept any match from anyone more than three below you. However, hatschy has just challenged you. You are "obliged" to accept that challenge! Should you decide to accept, it should be a good match!!

Where does that leave the status of our "dual-duel"?

I think I reported that one... Hang on, let me check...

Ah yes, here it is, and I'm pretty sure a loss was recorded for me against it at the time, so you you'd better remove that 13th loss from my name Quinns

Yes you reported in earlier, ricketyclik, I just never posted it to the ladder. My fault there. Hatschy was right to report it again, and the ladder is right as it stands now. Count your wins and losses by going to the top post and then hitting ctrl-f and finding "ricketyclik".

Unfortunately, the match is cancelled, with results similar to a draw (that is -- no change to the standings). Unless you can contact mpteach and get him to concede the match on this thread, you can't get a win. The only way to prevent this in the future is to try to find opponents that you know will finish the match, (or at least concede the match if they can't finish it, for whatever reason.)

That was the reason when I played Dimytes, I saw he had on the PG blew so far ahead on tech and settlers..I conceded!

I am dissapointed and thus shall cross him off the list to play.

This sucks and yet another reason a person should be rewarded a win if another simply "Vanishes"..or puts game on hold for apparanetly no reason..

No problemos...

Peace

I accept hatschy challenge.

Standar settings could be fine but I can play what ever settings you like, just to make a fair game I can accept / suggest a restart if turn 0 is realy awful.

If you don't mind just send turn 0 to: berXpert at yahoo.com.mx

I like to play as Mexicans

[checkMate]

Crud BlackIce, even if I played you, and you beat the crap out of me like last time, you still wouldn't be within 3 of Berx. Do you have a challenge with Quinn's?
