Sounds good, and I completely agree. Why don't say you(and one other knowledgeable member here if two are needed) commission it, given we can get enough active people to have a tournament here at TA? I for one would have no problem with that and the I'm all for structure.
Done. Ascension Fall Classic: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=105543 15 more players needed ...
Six spots gone in the first hour ... don't hesitate, if you want to play. Ten spots left. Tick-tick-tick ...
Triple-post bingo! I've cross-posted the event details at other sites; I expect it to fill today. I'd rather see TA regulars play, though, so if you've been hesitating ... well, stop doing that. Again, here's the sign-up thread: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=105543
LOL!!! He is a fun adversary. Like many here actually. I more often than once feel till the end the uncertainty of the end result. And scores are always very close. I think I recently lost from somebody here by 1 point even, and then won by 5 or 6. Loving this game, despite the fact that sometimes cards just do not seem to get right in my hands (same for everybody I guess). Now to the tournament thread!
What's weird is that I actually felt pretty good about that game; I thought I had done enough to win. But no ... 86-80, or something like that? I think you piled on some good points at the end.
Ya to be honest, i thought you had that game too. I acquire some high points cards during my last 2 turns which manage to pull me through. This unpredictability aspect of the game also gives it an additional excitement factor.
Yeah, he's a good player. I've lost a number of times to him too, but yesterday I finally beat him, and good too By like 20-30 points I think? BTW, what is everyone's top score so far? I got 106 the other day, though I can't remember if this is my highest.
I seem to bring out this "beat the hell out of Duke" quality in a lot of people. Is it my winning personality?
lol I think it's just cuz it's a challenge. The thing is with this game, it's not always easy to tell when you're winning/losing or even WHY you won or lost. I mean sure, you can count the points on the cards, but it's not always as easy to figure out why your particular selection of cards does well or poorly - I think this goes back to the luck factor and partially the choices your opponent makes as well. So when you find an opponent that beats you consistently, you (or at least I) want to find out why and what it takes to return the favor. It's certainly nothing personal
But winning or loosing with duke is not random act ... Jokes apart, on BCG there is a wonder post on strategy that explain the basic of what I consider key in the game and that I learned once I stared experimenting and loosing almost 200 games in three days. Gives ideas on controlling your cards and the floor, how to change strategy from runes/attack to honors, how to use certain cards to speed up the game, etc. Have a look at that, it might explain many times the why of the loss (and yes sometimes luck just prevails). btw sorry for the guy who lost with my with a tie My first time of a tie!
Unless I'm greatly mistaken, the author of those posts is actually playing in our little get-together here.
I actually win more than I lose (I think), but after playing Duke a number of times, I realized that my strategies apparently aren't perfect. In any case, yeah, I'll take a look - where is the post?
Who is it? Camzeeeeee???? Because that post describes basically many aspects of how I play (luck permitting).
I will say it again, you can have a strategy and strategy to change your strategy etc.. but luck still plays a major factor in this game. I'd say it's very akin to poker, where the good players will win more than the poor players, but there is still a lot of luck. But poker is fun and so is this game.
That was me. Ascension luck is not on my side. I was tied in the Ascension tournament and came out on the losing end of that too. Good game though. Hit me up any time!
