Hi,
This is a standard post. This is one game of Round One, Heat One of The International Thud Tournament 2007. Please see the topic line for who should be playing in this game. Good luck to both!
You should be playing two other games as well, as opponent to the two remaining players in your heat. Please find the other ITT07 threads that have your name in the topic line! And good luck with them as well.
Let me try to give a short list of the most important rules:
- Oograh Boike is referee for all ITT07 games, with Lee as a backup;
- this is not the only game you should be playing in this heat;
- immediately after this has been posted, the game starts;
- this game has to be standard rules and double unlimited;
- the 24-hour rule states that either one of you has to reply to this topic within 24 hours after first post[ *] with a first move;
- within 24 hours after first move, the opponent has to reply with his or her moves;
- within 24 hours after second move, first player has to reply, and so on and so forth;
- failure to comply with the 24 hour rule will result in loss of one point[ **] in first six hours after the deadline expires, another point loss in second six hours, and so on, untill another 24 hours have expired and the player who did not respond will be disqualified;
- the 24 hour rule stands untill both players agree on a score, whether that be the result of this forum game or an online game;
- this game will be closed and scored on april 11, 23:59 BST, finished or not. Next round will start the day after that.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. Best idea would be to email me, since I don't have the time to be in thudgame all the time. You should have my email address, but when in doubt click the contact button on my site.
Happy Thudding!
[ *]I can't post several threads at the same time, so I started fairly early. Please consider this thread to be posted at 23:59 BST, march 28. Some of you will have a little more time than others, but all of you will have at least 24 hours.
[ **]Points, if necessary, to be deducted after the game has been completed.
PS: BST by the way, is British Summer Time, which is GMT minus one.

What about the second game? This was supposed to be double unlimited.

Sorry about that. Didn't read the rules properly, and now I am one move behind on each of three games.
Mea Culpa.

Oh, my! That move rather caught me out - very nice!
My only remaining defence there, is attack.

Yes, that seems to have happened. I should have checked before posting. It should have been:

Re: ITT07, R1, Heat 1 - The Patrician vs Elerias
Oops, I seem to have made an illegal move, by not taking at least one dwarf (C10) in my last move.
However, since I didn't take it (and my thudboard savegame does indeed still show the dwarf standing there), and since a troll must take at least one of the dwarfs it lands next to, I must concede this half of the game because of the illegal move.
Very sorry.

I'm sorry as well. I just wondered why you wouldn't take the dwarf, but I simply didn't realize that your troll was shoved.

Re: ITT07, R1, Heat 1 - The Patrician vs Elerias
I shall try to get the points back, by mopping up all your trolls
Which makes me wonder, how many points DO you get for a conceded halfgame? I feel it should probably be considered a 32-0 win, but that's up to the judges.

Re: ITT07, R1, Heat 1 - The Patrician vs Elerias
Yes, we should leave that to the judges. I really don't know how to handle this, and unless I'm half-blind there is nothing in the rules that handles this kind of situation.

Re: ITT07, R1, Heat 1 - The Patrician vs Elerias
Hi Elerias, Patrician,
Oh dear, it seems I have to judge something I have never seen happening before....
I get to write jurisdiction!!!
Right, since Patrician suggested it himself, and seems happy with it, I will rule that that conceded half will have a score of 32 - 0.
This game will be closed in one hour, twenty minutes. Could you please remember to send me finished savegames by noon BST tomorrow? Thank you.
Happy Thudding!

Re: ITT07, R1, Heat 1 - The Patrician vs Elerias
Hi, me again,
It seems that Patrician was late by a couple of hours today. I'm afraid I will have to deduct one point from his overall score in this game for violating the 24 hour rule.
Happy Thudding!

Hi,
As of now, no more moves will be accepted in this game. Could both of you please (agree on a) score (of) this game, and send me saves for my site? Thank you.
I will lock this topic tomorrow, after you have scored the game.
Happy Thudding!

Re: ITT07, R1, Heat 1 - The Patrician vs Elerias
According to OB's judgement of the first game and my record of the second game I calculate the score as follows:
1st game : Patrician (troll) 0 - 32 Elerias (dwarf)
2nd game : Patrician (dwarf) 27 - 28 Elerias (troll)
Thus, I win by 33 points.
My savegames are on the way to OB.

Re: ITT07, R1, Heat 1 - The Patrician vs Elerias
I am so terribly sorry to all players that I have failed in this way - not because I care about the score, but because they were all FUN GAMES, and stopping the game unexpectedly midway is just not fair to any of you.
Because of this, and because it's just NOT RIGHT that I could win on points by simply not playing, I resign any games in which I was ahead.
I'd be happy to continue any of the games in a non-tournament kind of a way, if any of the players are interested.
However, I'm unexpectedly called away from the net for the next couple of days, so will be unable to continue until then.
