being blue can affect possible size of margin because of the differing numbers of words, especially if an assassin is hit or something

if you play as red and have several crushing victories, they would be "worth" slightly more in MOV than if you played those games as blue just because you had to guess more words

You think # of blue games should be the tiebreaker before MOV? I don't think it's a huge disadvantage, & red needs to get more words total.

Here's the proposed bracket format:

oh, i was just trying to rationalize why you'd want to separate it out

i don't think there's a """perfect""" way to math it out really, and it's just for seeding so i'm not too concerned

I thought about this earlier. I can put up the threads I suppose & people can start at their leisure.

So the 3rd set of games will be:

Gad/TN v. IBD/nails
InD/Eric v. eb/Nich
Poker/xander v. DWetz/AK
irtm/Crimson v. Prip/bolt
D1iab/insanity v. killer/Carl

The 1st teams listed will be the red team & the 2nd teams will be the blue team. I'll put up threads. You guys can choose the Spymasters. Doesn't matter who spied last 2 games or anything else (unless you can't agree, in which case that's the 1st tiebreaker, the 2nd being a rand).

In another randomness news, D1iab/insanity stayed as the red team in the 5th game, just switching the order their names are in.

Also, 3 of the 4 people playing in the game that's still going in round 2 are randed in the same game for round 3.

1st 1 might have been a you thing since the other 3 people in your game all finished round 3 before round 2

Pretty sure this round your game is just delayed due to CF asking to be replaced.

5 of the 6 round 5 match-ups are complete. I'm not going to start the 6th & final preliminary round until Monday, though.

Here are the standings with 1 matchup & 1 round to go...

Rank	Player	Wins	Losses	MOV	B	Points
1	DWetzel	5	0	15	4	5
2	insanity31	4	1	13	1	3
3	True North	4	1	8	3	3
4	IBeDrummin	4	1	7	3	3
5	iraisetoomuch	4	1	7	0	3
6	Nicholasp27	3	1	7	3	2
7	ArcticKnight	3	2	6	2	1
8	D1iabol1cal	3	2	5	2	1
9	xander biscuits	3	2	0	3	1
10	eyebooger	3	2	-2	3	1
11	Priptonite	2	2	-2	1	0
12	inDheart	2	3	-1	2	-1
13	Gadarene	2	3	-3	2	-1
14	CF/eleanor60	2	3	-4	2	-1
15	bolt2112	1	3	-7	3	-2
16	killer_kill	1	4	-6	3	-3
17	Eric	1	4	-7	2	-3
18	nails	1	4	-8	4	-3
19	Pokercrazy94	0	4	-13	1	-4
20	Carl_Spackler	0	5	-15	4	-5

Points are just wins - losses to make sorting the spreadsheet quicker with uneven # of games.

Reminder that the top 12 get byes.
