It was really nice to play with you, Henry and Xlnt. Even though this game wasn't full of fights between each other, I could feel the tense. Fortunately for us, Xlnt was caught by Hellbrick, so the result of the game was decided at that point. I will make my turn later, I still have some fights to do and then I will make the screenshots of the score and send them to the judges.

Yep, xlnt was defeated.

Do you mean xlnt died?
There is one hour left until end of round, so this is probably the last strategic turn.

Congrats to Jean and HellBrick! I don't know what the final scores will be, but I can't imagine my score alone will be close to your combined scores. I guess I did raze one of HB's vassals, but we really didn't come close to damaging you in any significant way.

Good luck for next round!

My reading's fine. I don't think I've ever participated in this "decision by score" ritual, so I have no prior experience with it. And if you consider just the post itself, without any additional context, it's really not that hard to misinterpret it.

You are right about the rules though: they indeed phrase it in a more clear way. I didn't think about double-checking your post against the rules, but I'll try to be more more vigilant the next time. Lesson learned, I guess =)

Very unfortunate that you are the only ones who understood that. It was always very clear the tournament was ending AFTER the deadline. Jean asked me several times about it and it was always clear. Also tournament rounds have ALWAYS ended like this, never before the deadline. The rules also specify scores are checked AFTER the time allocated is expired. So I can't take a message like this.

The original announcement was:
"Hi! Round 3 ends in a bit less than 3 days (see the time count here: https://www.the-battlefield.c... )
It seems very unlikely that your match will be won before the deadline. It will therefore be decided by score. The procedure is as follow:"

You have a very selective reading.

Well, that's unfortunate. I played my turn yesterday after reading the steps that clearly said that the current strategic turn was going to be the last, so I adjusted my actions according to that. If I knew we were gonna get a possibility of one more turn I would have done some things differently. Can we just follow the original announcement and make this turn the last? =)

user

You should follow the procedure only after the end of the deadline, not before. Sorry it is indeed not very clear in the steps.

You need to Save & Quit after the surrender and screenshots.

Hello, Hiliadan!
I am the last player in the turn order. To be honest, I didn't expect your message to appear so soon since we still have more than 2 days and we can probably make 1-2 more turns as there are only 3 of us now.  But it's fine.
I have understood the procedure. Just 1 little detail: Having taken the screenshots and surrended, can I quit the game just by shuting it down? Will it be fine?

Hi! Round 3 ends in a bit less than 3 days (see the time count here: https://www.the-battlefield.c... )
It seems very unlikely that your match will be won before the deadline. It will therefore be decided by score. The procedure is as follow:

1/ the current strategic turn is played until the last player in the turn order
2/ that player plays his turn, saves & quits, copy the save game to a backup folder
3/ that player re-enters the game and surrenders, then takes screenshots of all the scores. He does NOT end the turn. Instead he quits the game without ending the turn.
4/ he sends the screenshots to judges (Marcus, Jonny and me)
5/ judges check the scores and take a decision

Could you please confirm who is the last player in the turn order? Can this player please confirm he read this message and understood?

and another sorry all post - lightning strike after a week of rain in Bulgaria, i had to go change my network card ):

My apologies to all. I have been having problems with fatigue/concentration and some days I can barely get 1 or 2 turns out. <smiletext6> I've had a few days like that recently and I just try to deal with the turn timers that are running out. 

As for an attempt to stall, no, given the events of the last couple turns, I think trying to win on points would be very bad for us...

I'll send the turn shortly. Again, my apologies for the delay.

I have no idea who is winning this game at the moment and I would hate to finish it by score. Unfortunately, we can not finish it in time with such a pace <smiletext6> I won't deny it: I hate score victories and my last team games in the previous 2-2 tournament were finished exactly by it. 
It's absolutely no problem if Henry can not make his turn but in such a case he should try and notify one of the players via battlefield, steam, etc. Otherwise he might skip a turn and I don't want it at all (fair play, you know).
I have talked to Hiliadan and have decided to turn off the timer: let's first wait for a reply from Henry, whether he can continue the game or not.

Jean - tell me, are you guys going to win this game, are you the better team and do you believe i know it?

I have no communication with Henry the last couple of days and i assume that everything is possible - not sure if he's trying to gain sm.th. by not playing (:

I don't like playing slowly but this is what AoW3 is at the end.

I promise you i will reserve time to play very fast with you when AoW4 comes out if you play at the finals with HB in this tournament - i just love reading your reports - hehe

Henry, please, stop stalling the game.
More than 2 days have passed since you got your turn, no reaction from you and you haven't informed us about any circumstances which might prevent you from making it. 
Xlnt returned home on Sunday and the only reason I didn't turn on the timer again was that I believed it would be better to do it when I get my turn. Seems like I was wrong. The timer is on again from now on.

Hello, Xlnt and Sir Henry!
Many years have passed and I am now a very old man whose stomach is no longer capable of eating tons of beef. Once a young brave knight, The Great Metz now can't defeat his own rheumatism...A bottle of Burgundy, which was an eternal guest near his bed, is now replaced by a clyster. But even though my ass is fat and my legs are weak, I still have enough power to kick the shit out of...*sencored*.
It's gonna be a pleasure to play with you, guys!
Here are the screenshots!

Hey Jean, HellBrick (:

Nice to see you again guys!

Sorry you are getting such an easy round.. i tried to talk Henry into just saving us all time and givving up but he insisted so i guess i'll have to do my best . Hope we don't get to inspire Hiliadan to create Arena N3 this time around - i'm still sad about those SunGuards you slauthered back in the day with DN Jean...

Good luck everyone!
