As for WM, i knew before i applied the chances of joining are slim. I managed to win both games, but apparently I'm not much of a team player :/ no surprisees there :/



What games are you talking about? I have only this one as a tryout, and it's not lost. http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=2885551

[WM] Red - please use quote in "[]" and then [/quote].. With it your posts will be much more legible.. (explained below new post txt window). It would make your post look like this, so that people would easily distinquish what is a quote and what is your reply:

Can I join WM? I'm not a bad player, but I only play real-time.

Lust, you played very well in your game against Trollussa, even after your bad picks. Did you not know it is impossible to get both your 1st and 6th picks?

Sorry, but you're wrong.
It IS possible to get 1&6!

you can get 1,2,6 or 1,3,6.
Take your time and think about it.

Timi, you can also get 1,4,6. but not 1,5,6.

you cant 1,4,6

Anyway, WM now holds positions 1, 3 and 4 on the 1v1 ladder.

1,2,3
1,2,4
1,2,5
1,2,6
1,3,4
1,3,5
1,3,6
1,4,5
2,3,4
2,3,5
2,3,6

I believe those are the only eleven possiblities for the order of the picks you get on Strategic 1v1 (or any 1v1 game with 3 starting positions for each player).

I often pick the 6 pick as a counter on the 4 and/or 5 picks because if you get 6, you will not get 4 or 5. Another option for a 6 pick is a safe bonus from other picks.

sorry dunga, i made the wrong calculations :S

Wrong counting up to 6 more like :P

yes arun, obviously...
if you have nothing to add to the conversation, please don´t try...
i thought your forum trolling finished in the summer

o.O
I swear i made a few small comments in succession yesterday.
@red: that game was a few months ago. I applied again like last week with Gnuoffone. Didn't he talk to you?

@jsa: yep, i recall you did beat me once, it was a map with 10 territories. So good job and looks like its 3-1 to me. As for me putting down WG players, its more like just you, really! Sort of like how you go on a stupid rant everytime Arun comments, I partly believe its because Arun is a better player than you, and you're probably going to go on another rant to tell us why he's not.

As for the starts, is 1,2,6 possible? How did you guys calculate this?

Nike, if you dont understand how you could get 1,2,6 then you shouldnt be able to understand any of the rest.
Say Player 1 chooses:
1: West Russia
2: Cemtral Russia
3: West China
4: Scandanavia
5: East Africa
6: Antartica

And player 2 chooses:
1: West China
2: Scandanavia
3: East Africa
(4,5,6 dont matter)

Then player 2 gets his number 1 pick first

i) Player 2 would get West China as it is his first pick.
ii) Player 1 gets West Russia as it is first pick, and P2 doesn´t have it.
iii) Player 1 gets first 2 pick, and that is Central Russia, as P2 doesnt have it yet.
iv) Player 2 gets second 2 pick, which is scandanavia, as P1 doeesnt have it.
v) Player 2 gets first 3 pick, which is East Africa, as P1 doesnt have it.+
vi) Player 1 gets second 3 pick, which is Antartica, because P2 already has West China, Scandanavia and East Africa.

Do you understand how picking works now?

you're right. thanks for the explanation :)

a pity my post was deleted when warlight crashed..

a 3__45
b _12__6

a 2__45
b _13__6

ps: very good point with 6 being a counter to 4 5, JSA

They do what they must, because they can.
