Triplechain - Page 184 - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

If we're going with mocking ourselves then maybe 'Clash of the Plebeians I'. Maybe Zac can choose his favorite, not very fond of 'Epic Showdown' but I don't care enough to make noise.

June DCs, more here as always:

Hmm, for some reason the tourney counter shows 9 for me, but there are only 8 tourneys to play (green).

Wetwilly beat me in a crabshoot final, won the first and five of the first eight games in our epic match, and knocked me into second spot in the dc. It's officially on.

I also quite like 'snakes in a chain i'

But maybe we can canvas public opinion and settle on one of the above.

2. Failed with 3rd chain. Ok, not a huge deal often, can still win.

3. Failed to snake 2nd chain with enough dice. Well, that is not good.

4. Failed to snake main chain with more than enough dice. This is just terrible, especially the way it happened.

Overall:

I originally spelled it "Royal," thought I messed up so changed it to Royale, then did some googling and decided that they're both acceptable but Royal is slightly better.

I am shocked at the number of entrants. I was expecting 5 or 6. Pretty sure this many will break the display, so I'll have to give some thought to rearranging it.

It uses the normal tournament code, so the "official" winner will be the person with the most wins. At the end the total score will also be displayed for everyone though, in case some people care more about that.

So if you get the highest score in a game you get 21 points (assuming 22 entrants). Otherwise it just becomes effectively 100 DCs.

Agreed. Could have all 3 scoring systems in place though. Points, scores, wins.

My play/outcome in this tournament was very unusual. All my games ended in a tie. I won the flip on the first two and lost it on the third. If I would have won that last flip, I would have been in the final without winning a game.

That is quite funny. Not likely at all to have 3 ties in a row.

If there's a strong consensus on a particular scoring system I'll consider coding it up, but otherwise I'll probably just let the tourney run its course and think about options afterwards.

If it's easy to c&p the numbers, I'm quite happy to hack up some exel to track other scoring systems.

I can probably do some spreadsheeting too if needed.

Paul is busy for the first days of July, so we made a deal of not starting before the 4th.

The best scoring system is obviously the one where I win.

Triplechain is broken for me. If I try to play a game (normal or tournament), I get logged out when I try to place the first die.

Edit: Now fixed.

meh yesterday's DC

A lot of people could have won it, depending on the presence of 4s and 5s in rack 9.

A 4, no 5s and mrgibson and I ship the win

The site currently tells me 'you are not eligible for that challenge' when I try to play 'road to nowhere' games.

Yeah before placing that last die of rack 8, I thought 'If I get a 4 this is going to be pretty good. If I don't this is going to be pretty bad.'

I'm currently #4 in daily rating, and could make #3 in the next few days all going well.
