I won 7-2 in a very interesting game.

6-2 you mean.

He probably played a type 2 game. You need 7 LSs to win in T2.

No, it was T1. I didn't realize that i gave him 3-liner. I was just plain stupidified that game i don't know WHAT was going on. :p

Yeah, it was 7-2 T1. I had the Shuffler, Site Doubler, Anti Angel, Thorns, 3-Line, and Pigs. I count 5 Single LSs and 1 Double. It was a fun match and I really enjoyed it.

but i don't think it matters I'm pretty sure in ROOT we use the rule that you can only rescue 5 LSs in a game anyway.

I sure hope so.

In T1 the max you can rescue now is 5, and the game ends. In the olden days you could score over 5 such as you guys did, but they made a rule that it auto stops at 5.

In sadder news,
Red=3
me=0

At one point, it was possible to win with 10 souls total. In a 5 player multiplayer game, you have four souls rescued and you tap five different 2-Liners, one from each of your opponents and then yourself. You play SoG/NJ and all of your opponents play NJ to get the other half of each 2-Liner, while you use SoG to hit your own 2-Liner and one last soul. Unfortunately, due to two separate rule changes, this is no longer possible, but it was a fun concept while it lasted.

You would have to have literally everyone cooperating for this to happen.

Well obviously, but I mean, it was still possible once upon a time.

lp670sv · « **Reply #131 on:** February 04, 2012, 11:58:43 PM »

That would have been really fun and I wish I had been around for that.

This is correct.

This is also correct. I was blessed with the win.

unless you agree to shorter time limits due to the fact you have work/church/school the next day....

Although what happened this week may not have exactly been ghosting, I'd still like for NWJ to be awarded the ghost points/win. It was mostly my fault we never got around to our game.

I was counting this as simply a no game played since no one contacted me requesting ghost points. Did NWJ actually try to set up a game with you and then it didn't happen? I just want to make sure before giving him points and giving you the ghost.

yes we had a few back and forth messages. the last of which was sent by him to me today. I missed the original time we had set up to play and never got back to him with a solid new time.

We both agreed to play to :45 min that game.

That's fine. There was someone - I think last month - who didn't know that ROOT games lasted the two hours.

Wait, is there a 2 hour time limit?

Chronic Apathy · « **Reply #144 on:** February 06, 2012, 02:39:49 PM »

Yes. Instead of the traditional 45 minute long game times, ROOT games last up to 2 hours unless both members agree ahead of time to waive the time limit.

Oh, yikes. I'll have to make note of that this time. I think my last game was 2 hrs and 30 min long or more.

If neither participant cared, it's not important. We tend to be a bit more lax about it than tournaments held in real life.

Yeah, cause in tournaments held in real life, long games affect more people than just the players.

Chronic Apathy · « **Reply #148 on:** February 06, 2012, 02:48:52 PM »

Strictly speaking, long games still affect more than just the players on a very rigid line of fairness, however, it's not that big of a deal.

Minister Polarius · « **Reply #149 on:** February 06, 2012, 04:24:05 PM »

I once failed to place instead of getting first at a Regional tournament because my game timed out with me ahead 4-2 and I was the only undefeated player, but the host allowed extra time and I ended up losing the game in "overtime."
