Really nice new feature when there's a tie!

That was already in a previous update. But yea, it is nice.

Positions added to DC results as well. Seems like it is possible to see the results of previous DC quickly using a direct url link. At least it worked today only after a few minutes after it had changed, positions hadn't been updated yet though. Take the previous link on the Summary page and add one, so that would make tomorrow Just played two 9-game tourney matches, and just wow. If someone had told me it is possible to fail that much over 18 games I wouldn't have believed, but I would now. In before I somehow don't lose both 2-7 or something like that.

Speaking of total scores, here are a few interesting ones I've bookmarked.

First round of Ask the magic 8-ball.


5-0, different colour of score in each game, total score level difference of 7 (1.4/game), total score difference of 52164, or 10432.8/game.

First round of Fincher & Se7en.


Anton only won one game, but still had a higher total score 131601-127078.

haha those 9-games are fun

I just played one vs Paul, pending his scores, but I would be surprised if I won more than 3 games. I played one vs Anton, who is my angstgegner and I made the utter nuts like 3 times and all others were also quite good and I beat him 8-1.

I wonder when the first 9-0 will be served.

In the 5-ers I have lost 4 times 5-0, 3 times vs TH10 and once vs Anton. But I also beat TH10 5-0 one time. That one is hanging now in my bedroom and any time Mrs. Gabethebabe wants to be pleased, I look at that score and don't need no Viagra

Play a 9-gamer HU?

Oh! Random seeding also create situation like that:



In daily rating seeding, Derwi would advanced. Guess there's another form of run good in random seeding ( this and for me, not being against TH.)

rigged

Hmm, that is actually kind of bad. Or maybe not, since it is supposed to be random, and it doesn't get more random than coinflip deciding the winner. Kind of annoying to lose best-of-one based on a coinflip though. Or what do I know, it isn't like I can even get near to the scores of my opponents.

Not being against me is not something you should be hoping, I can't seem to be able to win anymore, will likely be 2-5 in matches I've played today once my opponents finish their games. Last 4 matches in 16-player tournies 1-3, out in first round of last two.

Had to update my stats spreadsheet with the latest update to tourneys. Need to fix a few small things and maybe at some point add tourney totals based on how many games you need to win to advance, we'll see.



Identities of the innocent have been removed for their own protection.

Forgot I had a 3rd match waiting for opponent, one where I did ok.

On positive side, bozzer finally played the match which I had been waiting, my 8-player tourney streak ended up being 5 tourneys wins and 16 matches.

So may turns out to be the cruelest triple chain month.

In these two I won one 6-3 and lost the other 4-5 including a game where I lost being more than 90 % favorite going into last rack #puke. Should try to remember that in some games there isn't anything you can do to get a good score, RNG just giving terrible racks wrt how the dice distribution is, so scores will look bad looking at the results in a vacuum. Also, would help to play better, I've played some mindblowingly bad games today.

At least this was correct, if only I hadn't forgotten that other match, add one win & one loss, now 4-6, until Gaby gets another print for his bedroom to make it 4-7.

Which one?

Edit: scratch that, thought you were talking about our match. I was like wtf, can't find that game.

I just had a game winning hilarious brainfart when I developed 5s the wrong way and blocked 6s

I need to go to bed now and finish tomorrow.

Derwi crushing 16-player tourneys.

Congratulations!

I still haven't either won or lost 5-0.

Actually kinda annoyed at how bad my games winrate is vs. you.

I had nfi how to play rack 2 and 3

oh wow TH10 almost got clobbered 7-0 by dogfloss seed in 8/7

I'm not sure I've won a game against th-ten that wasn't a dead rubber.

Actually, I think we tied one once.

kamacry has the possibility to beat me 7-0, it is already 4-0 and my other 3 scores were also pretty bad to horrible

In games against me your choices don't matter, you'll win regardless, as you may have noticed in that match.

That was such a tilting match, I don't think I even played the games badly, but I just couldn't catch a break. I think I made one decision that turned out to be correct the whole match, everything else went against me, always choosing wrong setup, wrong chain dice to play, wrong with bonus dice, missing last racks, when she kept hitting them like in that earlier match where she hit that <10 % win and won both last racks ~flips as well. I hope popcorn doesn't start playing tourneys, she and dogfloss are the two players I've always run terribly against, it is enough that I always get randed against dogfloss.

My spreadsheet tells me that our record in games is 11.5-3.5.

Tourney match record in matches in which I played my games yesterday: 4-8 #solid #%splummeting. On top of that I, yet again, missed a DC win with 60 % going into last rack...

TH10 you will LOL when you see rack 5 in game 1 of hyperbolic

I am going to try and beat you again with a new array of inferior plays

In 4,8,15,x,23,42 I just lost 3-2 to Dynasty in the semis and in two of the games I lost I was an 80% and 73% favourite going into Round 9 :-/

petition to rename thread 'official TC moan thread'.

granted

We need to have an election for the Head Moaner

I have a couple of nominees

It actually wasn't even that bad for my setup, or didn't look that bad at that point, of course it later turned out to be.

Wait, I actually have a chance to win in something? In.

Just had three complete trainwrecks in a row in a match against Dynasty, already marked that match as a loss, only the score is still a mystery. Will post a link once Dynasty has played them. Could only laugh looking at the replays.

Only about 20 hours time to register for the first 32-player tournament that will run (with byes, so it actually won't be 32 players, but w/e)! Still 15 spots available.
