Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM, Nation Selection Underway.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM, Nation Selection Underway.
 

I had cautioned the noob team at the end of NvV2 "Don't let a vet get Ashdod or you guys are screwed." Don't let me down, namad!

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM, Nation Selection Underway.
 

You should be seeing the new forum now, as you've been put into the group for 3rd game.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM, Nation Selection Underway.
 

Unoptimized where were ya? :doh: Oh well, it's not a killing blow I don't think. Go ahead and pick please.

Namad you are officially awarded Ashdod.:envy:

Vets, you got 7 people on yer team, I need one of ya to go to alternate. Either that or we wait for more noobs. Hehe. TheDemon had asked earlier about it, that is why I suggested him, but you guys decide. Thanks.

Stretch, your not cheering the vet team on are ya?:D

While we are waiting for the nations selection process to finish let us discuss map selection. Recommendations and feedback are welcome.

Here are the candidates:

1. AOM Ogre - Nice looking map, the water in the middle would make for an interesting attack route since we are land bound and may buy both teams more time to prepare. Currently though, the prov/player ratio = 25, which may be too high. Placement would obviously be teams at either ends.

2. WOG Team Arena 1.3 - Enlarged version of World of Geometry. Looks like a large flower to me. Good for a land battle it looks like. Thanks Zeldor. I can easily place the vets at the center around the core and the noobs at the tips of the petals. Not much mystery. Prov/player ratio = 23 currently.

3. Planet Rorschach - Cleveland's interesting map. Seems to me more suited for a land battle with a central landmass and water on the fringes (kissed by Oceanus as it were). Also with vets in the center and noobs around the outside. Prov/player ratio = 20.

4. World of Geometry - Nice looking map, originally designed as a king of the hill type setup. Map is split in half by water with 10 land pocket starts. I could squeeze the 12 noobs into the 10 pockets I suppose and place the vets around the central core or one team on either side. Prov/player ratio = 18.

5. World of Symetry - I think it is the ugliest of our choices so far but it will work. A bit smaller than WOG. Placement options would be similar to WOG. Prov/player ratio = 14.

i think thedemon might be team captain :-p so he probably won't go alternate.... at least thedemon is the only one i've talked to at all about nation picks so far i guess once everyone has private subforum access we'll be able to determine better

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM, Nation Selection Underway.
 

the veteran team will be required to make a list of 10nations (not including the preselected nations) the noob team should make a list of 16 (not including the preselected nations)


proof:

in the case that the lists are exact duplicates of each other we will have the case where the longest length is required this is what that distribution process would look like:
preselect
preselect
N1
V1
N2
V2
N3
V3
N4
V4
N5
V5
N6
N7
N8
N9
N10
N11

this list has total length of 16 and the portion for which the veterans are concerned has length 10 this results in 6veteran and 12noob nations being selected


if anyone can point out to me how I am wrong.. we can make longer lists otherwise I think the vets intend to hand in a list of this length

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM, Nation Selection Underway.
 

I have to object to awarding the vets ashdod as the first pick of the game on the grounds that in the opening post of this thread the noobs were promised first nation pick. Further, since you are granting early picks to returning alternates, shouldn't the noob returning alternate get the first pick over the vet returning alternate?
