Tyrant, or whomever it may concern,

I beg indulgence in advance if this is inappropriately posted and for not having read much of the earlier posts for the thread.

I'm considering running my Noobs vs Vets series on a regular basis, game 1 focusing on battle tactics, formations, short term strategy and game 2 focusing on longer term strategic planning, magic, and development. This is intended to be something of a public service boot camp curriculum for noobs, vets pitching in to train, teach fresh green noobs the game. Winning or losing for the vets is not the main goal.

Would it be possible to come to some sort of an agreement, as an inducement(or rather reward) to get more Hall of Famer's and expert vets to join, to credit them or count it as a 1/2 victory for HOF ranking purposes, irregardless of whether they win or lose?

It would be a noble thing to do. Just an idea.

Nope. Noobs vs Vets games don't count, in my book. It's lopsided one way or the other. They are just practice games.

Yes, I concede the games are largely experimental at this point, we are testing whether 2vs1 odds are tenable even with the advantage I'm currently giving to the vet team, though I've yet to have an ideal control group and situation.

However, I will be refining the concept, and if 1.5 vs 1 or even 1x1 works out better (with certain handicaps in place), it may certainly turn out to be a viable training option. You and the other vets who have participated in both games thus far should recieve some recognition, if not an honorary victory, then perhaps something else. IMO.

I only count outright wins. If you care to look, I have only one outright win, and that was in a team game. Doesn't bother me though. Outright wins are hard to get. I still consider myself one of the best Dom3 players.

The weirdest game I've ever been in. The two nations that didn't seem to have a big shot of winning the game did it, one that was constantly subbed and seemed week and a rough spot to take and one which was in war with almost everybody, but somehow survived.

SS- This thread's for tracking strong nations and players. I'd suggest using the forum features for reputation and gratitude to recognize people for contributions to the community.

Ex- From your description it sounds like both players won, but i'm recording it as a tie so's there won't be more points than games. Let me know if you think this is unfair.

Psycho- Gratz, welcome to the Hall!
