H2H Round Robin Tournament - 2012 Group 3 of 6

[ScottieX]

H2H Round Robin Tournament - 2012 Group 3 of 6
This Tournament is for Xbox only.

Rules

1. This tournament will be conducted in a round robin format. Each player will play two games against each other player in this group for a total of 10 qualifying games. A win is worth 1 point. A loss is worth 0 points. After all qualifying games have been completed, the top two point leaders will advance to the finals. A best of 5 series will determine the winner of this group. The winner will advance to the Championship H2H Round Robin Tournament, a group consisting of all 6 previous or eventual group winners.

Any round robin tie will be broken based upon the H2H records against one another. In the event of a 1-1 split, another game will be played to determine the winner. In the event of a 3+ way tie for the 2nd qualifying spot, one FFA match will decide who advances. In the event of a 3+ way tie for the top qualifying spot, a FFA game will decide the top seed. Another game (FFA or H2H) with the remaining players (not the first FFA winner) will decide the 2nd seed. These games will be considered “finals” and therefore civ selection is deducted from the advancing player's remaining civs. Example – If India is used in a tiebreaker game, that player may not use India in the 5 match finals series. See number 2 below for more information.

2. No power or semi-power civs may be used (Americans, Arabs, Aztecs, Chinese, Spanish, Zulu). The following is a list of the ten allowed civilizations: Egyptians, English, Germans, Greeks, Indians, Japanese, Mongols, French, Romans, and Russians. Each civ must be played once in qualifying. Civ selection is reset for the finals series.

3. No Adar.

4. No democracy glitching. All peace requests must be accepted. All Great Wall requests must be accepted ONLY IF the player with the Great Wall has not attacked that turn. If the player with the GW attacks, he must wait until the following turn to send peace. Please play nice guys.

5. No pause glitching.

6. Players alternate hosts.

7. There is no set schedule on who to play. Please organize your games on this thread or through PM or XBL messages. Please try to complete all games in a reasonable time frame.

8. Rules are subject to modification up to when the first match has started.

9. You may not build the Oxford University wonder. Getting it from Angkor Wat is fine.

Yes sir I'm in this baby!

[Chug E]

Yes sir I'm in this baby!

It's going to be interesting to see how you do w/o your Zulu, China, America, or Arabs. I have a sneaky feeling you suck!... but I could be wrong.

[xalakazoox]

same here for u chug every time i played u were the power civs

[xalakazoox]

when do we start n how do we know who to play ?

[Mawpawk]

when do we start n how do we know who to play ?

i believe your in the 2nd bracket with me, just read the first post of that and send yor friend requests out weneva ya see them on ,play. dnt forget 2 read and ask about any rules u dont get.

[MultiPlayaBeast]

Chug YOU SERIOUS! You cant beat me when you use Power Civs. I don't think you ever beat me. I cant wait to face you. How can someone suck so bad using Aztecs a number of times, funny. Arabs... No one can ever tell me they a POWER CIV. 90% who use them do much of nothing even with the power. Secondly, I never use American, Aztecs or Chinese. Idiots use little civs to face power civs. Zulu is for that purpose now and always will be. I'm going to hold my comments for when I take you out and spread them across the world.

[MultiPlayaBeast]

I challenge you tonite Chug to get you out the tourney now!

[MultiPlayaBeast]

same here for u chug every time i played u were the power civs

Thanks Alakazoo for your point. Dude use power civs as much as anyone and got the nerve to give his two cents on me. He will get his! Oh but actually now I think about it... Is he even in this tournament?

[ITZ DENI3D]

Lol Chug e has been probably been playing this game since it came out and after I started playing it for a couple months I've been wiping the floor with him ever since, such a fail. Don't worry this guys terrible. 99% of the time he is Chinese and he loses 98% of those times!

[ITZ DENI3D]

I'll try this thing, might need a refree though in case I have to beat Chug E again for the hundredth time

[Chug E]

MultiPlaya: I will admit that I use China or America against you sometimes if I can't find another game. And it's only because you use Zulu or Arabs almost every game. I will admit that you are pretty good w/ both of those civs, but then again it doesn't take a lot of skill to be good them. And like I said, I could be wrong. Prove me wrong.

Alakazoo: I like how you talk in absolutes. "Every time I played you were the power civs". I mean really, every time? WTF ever dude. If I'm a power civ, I either went random or I know someone in the lobby plays nothing but power civs. Like the 187 guy. He plays nothing but America and if I can't find another game, I'll use another power civ against him.

ITZ Denied: You are the epitome of the person who thinks they are good when they beat someone who was using the Mongols and they were using the Americans. I mean really, you've got to be a complete noob to lose to the Mongols when you are using USA, but people like you feel real good about themselves afterwards. Some of us like to call that a false sense of superiority. It's not surprising coming from an immature loser. I personally feel bad when I went random and am a power civ and my opponent is a weak civ. Oh and I'm China 99% of the time. lol and I lose 98% of the time! lol what a joke you are. Grow up.

[ScottieX]

Break it up boys - this thread isn't about your little arguments. Tourney talk only please.

[danthechan]

187 uses america exclusively, and has been doing so since the game came out. he used to use a different 187 name. these people that only use 1 civ will just never get the full experience of this game. their loss.
we have alot of talk in this thread, but only 1 sign-up so far. i'll go ahead and put my name in the hat.

[Chug E]

You're right Scottie. I was more joking w/ Multiplaya than anything. It was a challenge to start using lessor civs. BTW, I'll sign up for this bracket.

I used to get a long w/ 187 back in the day when he used the other name. I eventually lost respect for him tho because he's never played w/ another civ. IMO, he doesn't even use them properly. He buys two libraries and tries to out tech you. Complete opposite of how to play w/ USA.

[MultiPlayaBeast]

You're right Scottie. I was more joking w/ Multiplaya than anything. It was a challenge to start using lessor civs. BTW, I'll sign up for this bracket.

I respect that Chug... Just hate it when people say that I'll only choose Arabs or Zulu. Well actually I do use them alot but as I said before I use Zulu for American, Chinese or Aztec players exclusively. I have over 20 different names that I have played more than once that can vouch I played them multiple times and not been Zulu. Whoever says that Arabs are easy to use and WIN, eat dirt and kick rocks because they are not. Arabs aren't even a semi-power civ simply because MAJORITY of people don't know how to use them to the fullest.

Some people will argue and be mad because they are just so happenly using lets say, uuuuuh Greeks for example. I choose Zulu because I know that a player in lobby FFA (I won't name anyone specifically) will choose America. Don't care who the other two players will be but I'm aiming for America. This is because... well truthfully intelligent players know why but in the end I choose civs that will be according to who I will play. Zulu will beat any civ and Arabs rarely can beat a outstanding American player.

Someone can yes say that I used Zulu a astronomical amount of times back in the day but now... Arabs and Indians are my choice for FFA. Punks talk all they won't but rank do show a level of skill and in the end people complaining aren't even in the top 100 with their so called "non power civs". I'm getting real tired of people whining about who people choose. Find a way to defeat that player if he chooses just so happen, a OP civ. I will exclusively for the tourney choose only Greeks and Indians... just letting it be known.

[MultiPlayaBeast]

Actually... am I even still in the tournament? Whats going on? I see still my name on here but Scottie makes some comment about my place being taken in the other H2H RRT 2012.

[SVPM]

I won't comment on the rest of the post, but this part isn't a real argument.

A majority of people don't know how to use America to the fullest, they are still a power civ.

[danthechan]

Actually... am I even still in the tournament? Whats going on? I see still my name on here but Scottie makes some comment about my place being taken in the other H2H RRT 2012.

the comment came when i discovered a spot had been reserved for me in bracket 2. since this is your 1st go round you can have that spot if you like. let me know asap so i don't start playing games.

[MultiPlayaBeast]

I won't comment on the rest of the post, but this part isn't a real argument.

Yeah and it be best you not comment because I really don't got time for nonsense. Now for the part you say that "A majority of people don't know how to use America to the fullest, they are still a power civ." you on drugs as I've seen over 100 players that have and can use America extensively good. Compared to me seeing only 2 handfuls of people use Arabs 75% good, Arabs shouldn't even be compared. Even without doing the stupid make a million militias and cities deal... people can win with sheer numbers because units are so dang cheap! I have had people beat me with multiple amounts of dang horses... HORSES that ran my other cities down with relentless numbers.

Liars consistently say that there are nothing but Arab playing people in games, which is a *&%^ lie! I have been playing this freaking game for 3 years under 3 different tags and DO NOT ENCOUNTER SOMEONE USING ARABS EVEN REMOTELY GOOD BUT 2% OF THE TIME. This is hot garbage in how Arabs have been picked on for bonuses most people not using well! English isn't knocked for having supremely overpowered archers and monarchy crazy early. No one talks how Germans can destroy almost anyone if they are not pressured. They not considered "semi-powered"! Get out of here dude and anyone else with some ridiculous comment. Have the nerve to compare Arabs to America, you crazy dude.

If you felt I disrespected you, I apologize as you are a veteran poster but anyone that knock me for using Arabs after I SACRIFICED using a OP civ like Zulu... can hit the block ya hear me. People choose who they choose man! People need to learn to respect that either it be Zulu, Aztecs, Chinese, Americans or any other freaking civ someone wants to choose. I'll face them irregardless and don't whine if I lose, send wack messages via xbox/ps3 or post on here that someone a moron for doing it!

You can keep it and I stay in this bracket of players... if there'll ever be anymore as Scottie hasn't posted whomever else will be playing. I don't even know who to play yet and start whooping butt!

[danthechan]

Cool but is anyone of any skill allowed to play in the tourneys? I think the word of these tourneys should be spread somehow. Is the influence of the forums known throughout civilization or being influenced upon other players? I wish I knew of the forums long ago.

[ScottieX]

please confirm your standard availability times - that will help with finding games when we start

tell your friends, or those you destroy in civ.

[ScottieX]

yeah I doubt scheduling with you will be hard MPB, you seem to be on quite a bit. thanks for all the info.

Yes all are welcome - the main criteria is that you need to be available to play.
We are a long way from having to restrict entry on skill.

[ITZ DENI3D]

I'm available at around 3 PST I'm on a lot as well so just message me.

[ITZ DENI3D]

No one talks how Germans can destroy almost anyone if they are not pressured. They not considered "semi-powered"!

LOL Germany is my power civ and I do know how to use Arabs btw I like English way better than Arabs and Zulu though.

[Liam_Sutty]

There will either be myself or Jack H joining this but that all depends on Jack O unearthing himself from the undergrowth!!

[REM018]

A new year - a new bracket! I am in.

Wow! You are quite susceptible.

I didn't comment on the rest because I agree with you that you can play any civ you want. I never said that arab were overpowered or stronger than America. I just pointed out that they were rarely (I even said a majority of the time) played to their fullest. Even semi-noob can win with them, because they are broken.

It was really long before America was considered a power civ, because people had to learn how to use them properly. It's less noob friendly than China or even Aztec. Still, they were overpowered right from the start of the game. What makes a civ powerful is not what people makes of it (people still settle american GP on turn 1) it is his potential in the hand of a good player. Arabs can be devastating in the hands of a good agressive player. +1 attack, then maths, then knight... Don't forget their powerful caravan

I'll stop answering in this thread, but you don't have to answer that agressively to my posts in the future.

Thank you!

I'll be sure not to but I would like to make one statement about when I speak on a game I use Arabs, Zulu or anyone else... keep it to yourself unless it is constructive criticism then I'm fine. I could go on another rant on people minding their business and playing who they want and let people play who they want but I'm not. Let me do me baby!

[MultiPlayaBeast]

LOL Germany is my power civ and I do know how to use Arabs btw I like English way better than Arabs and Zulu though.

We would see in this tourney but unfortunately Arabs are so awesome that they were made a semi-powered civ and can't face your mediocre English. Not my words... they are the ones in the tourney and not Arabs, lol!

[JackHall2003]

Or both of us! someone still has to play duke in the final. At this rate we will be aiming for group 4 though.
