He may not know that the games have started, I will be playing Borderlands with him this evening so will mention it. I don't expect players to be available all the time, work & family will always get in the way. Sometimes I have not played my turns for days. With the first round of the tournament though I expect us all to finish it off within a few weeks hopefully.
Hey, I know what you mean, I work a full time job and have a family which includes 2 young children, throw in house chores and everything else that comes with the territory and it's a full time job all day long. Even still, I can take a 20 second break and take a few turns on this game, so I WOULD say that's no excuse but people are different and have different responsibilities. I don't think the tournament thing is going to work as well as most hope until the developers tweak it a little more in our direction. I do however have hope for this league and hope things keep rolling.
All three of our games are now running in League 3. I think it'll take a couple/few days to get through them all though......one of the players is on the other side of the world.
Well I'm ready for this but I feel there should be some sort of commitment from players participating to commit to at least a certain number of turns a day no? At least like 5 a day ... -freak
It takes time, I once ran a words with friends tournament which took nearly 6 months to complete. I am going to give all players a few days to start their games & then will check in with the group leaders to make sure all the races have started.
League 5 race B (me) and race C (lufferov) started and advanced to A's turns. we are just waiting now for player A to start his race and make his 3 turns.
If our 3rd player doesn't take their turn (going on 2 days now), may we continue without them? Since there are no points awarded for 3rd anyways, the two of us that DO want to participate can restart and play the 3 races. We can play it like whoever wins gets 3 points and second gets 0, that way both of us aren't scoring points regardless of what place we finish. That may not work but just an idea.
No not yet, 2 days is nothing. I mentioned it to Sessile yesterday & hopefully he will play his turns soon. Also I think you were wrong taking it on yourself to start the games without my ok. They have now been cancelled. This is the first round of the tournament, everyone who signed up may not know about it yet. There is also a big time difference between lots of players & life sometimes will get in the way. You need to be more patient. This weekend I will check with all the leagues to ensure the races are running & if no player has done their turn yet. I will contact them to chase.
If you have any open spots I would love to play in the tournament. I haven't played this game in forever. BTW, gospvg, you've got a nice site. I was just looking at completing the exact same Borderlands achievements last week. I haven't taken the time to do it but it's on my list. lol
Sorry all taken for this tournament but once this is over I'm sure there will be another On Borderlands - love the game 188 hours so far on my main character
First off, it's none of your business who I start a game with. Did I start 3 races with one of my league mates? Yes. And I happened to mention to him that we can use these 3 races if Sessile never shows up AND if my request turns out to be OK WITH YOU. If it's not ok with you (obviously) then I would still wish to play those games as any other game. Second of all, I apologize if I come off as impatient, I've tried two of these so-called leagues already that failed miserably without even the first race being finished because one or two people screw it up for everyone. I'll leave it at that. Hopefully everyone's races move on smoothly and this league is a success. I won't mention someone taking too long anymore in your league gospvg but after the 8 day period if someone voids out, shall I just email you as for what to do next? Thanks. Good Luck everyone.
To reply to your points 1. Normally I would agree with you but on this occasion it is my business because the other player in the league is my son. 2. I have ran many tournaments, you can check my blog. Leagues only fail because the organizer loses control or interest. I will NOT be losing control on this tournament or interest. 3. I understand your games have now started. I will contact an individual from each league today to ensure the games have started. If not I will chase the players to take their turns.
Can the following leagues confirm they have started all 3 races League 3 LALeaf KiwiAcer kevlar League 6 Zinger223 smes3817 dizzyjw League 9 mcevoy trooperlooper2 MightyMiniMan League 10 freak arn jochta
League 9 is underway... kinda. Trooperlooper (player B) started the race out of sequence - he invited me (player A) then MightyMiniMan (player C), when those two should have been reversed. Now I don`t know if I should try to start my race in reverse sequence as well and have us run the whole bracket in reverse sequence, or if I should count on this race trooper started to get aborted and restarted in proper sequence and I should start a proper-sequence race to match that. Gr. I`ve sent an in-game message in the `bad`race indicating that I think we should abort and restart trooper`s race in proper sequence. I have also started my own player-A race and have sent a message in that one summarizing exactly how the other two races should be started, and am waiting for them to start and reach my turn before I take my turn.
