You cannot beat me

[Andre]

I'm waiting for LoL to start shipping, so I can play some of you hardcore tacticians online. Look for me in the lobby, and expect some major carnage.

[SargusBane]

You are on! I am just a newbie to this sort of thing but I am told I have a natural nack for it. Just to make it interesting, lets make a small but painful wager on the outcome.

This challenge goes to everyone else too. You can choose your race first if I can choose the map and who goes first. And if you feel up to it, you can take a handicap or two to make it more interesting.

You know Andre I have already beaten you

Once it ships you can challange me to a rematch

[Pyros]

Hi there,

I am not as experienced as you are people... but I will play against anyone of you who thinks himself as a tough player... LOL

cheers,
Pyros

p.s everything set to random, mirrored games and in case of a tie, the winner is the one with the best performance (less rounds to win) in the winning game.

[Andre]

And next time my network connection won't drop out from underneath me. Can't wait to be "beaten" again

[Andre]

I like the idea of mirrored games. You mean switching sides on the following game, right? You really should be able to beat someone playing against the race you just used to beat them if you're truly a better player.

And letting performance dictate the break of a tie is a nice touch. Good call!

I am only really good as Undead. I am sure to be trounced as anything else.

Andre this is a standard way to play a pbem game.
You play the games from both perspectives and then you compare the level of victories.
This way nobody may claim that the other one had any "race" or "map" advantage!!! LOL

Although there is a small detail... who will play first the the "unfavorable" game??? This matter because if you win this game you will show the way to your opponent what tactic to use in order to win you in the same map...
But again... this is only a game, or not??

cheers,
Pyros

Hey! There shouldn't *be* an "unfavorable" side. =)

If there is, it means you beta testers didn't do a good enough job finding balance issues!




(... or I didn't listen when you pointed them out. =)

Hiro... you know what I mean!!!

In a "mountain & dense forest" map the elves would have a small advantage due to their path-finding skill!!
in the other hand the tank will have problems to move off-road.

These small details make this game a very fine game!

cheers,
Pyros
