Title: Type NW RTS League - 2nd Half
Post by: STAMP on January 20, 2009, 12:26:07 PM
Congratulations to xCaLeBx, TheKarazyVicePresident and 777Godspeed for securing a spot in the playoffs in May!  I will contact each shortly in order to get addresses to send prizes.

This is a league that will run with two halves.  The first half was run from 10/1/2008 to 1/6/2009 (15 weeks).  The second half will be from 1/14/2009 to 4/28/2009.  Playoffs will be in May.  The winners of each half will get a bye in the playoffs.  Second place from the first half will play third place from the second half, and vice-versa.  If a player has already qualified for the playoffs from the first half, then the next player in the standings from the second half will qualify.

So I guess the first question is, "What is Type NW?"  It is both a deck-building and category version we started here in the NW.  Here are the details:

Type NW deck-building
- Deck size is always 70 cards
- No dominants are allowed
- Type 1 deck-building rules apply for everything else

Type NW gameplay
- Games are allotted one hour; when one hour is reached, complete the current full turn
- Name-on-name bonus and Experience credit are both used

For league play, we will keep track of wins, losses and ties along with number of lost souls that are saved by both opponents.
- Wins = 4 points
- Ties = 2 points
- Losses = 1 point
- Total redeemed lost souls will be accumulated for all players during the season
- A player may play another player twice in a week maximum to count towards league results
- There is no limit to the number of different players you play as long as they are signed up for the league
- Please PM or email all game results to me

As you can see by the point system, players are encouraged to actually play.  A player with 5 losses will rank higher than a player with a win if those are the only games played.  Since games are a full hour, there's a good chance there will be some 1-0 game scores and maybe some like 10-7.  Who knows?   :o

Prizes will go to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for each half.  Separate prizes will be given out for playoffs.

So SIGN UP now!!  Just let me know...post, PM or email.   :)

Pretty much everyone is eligible.  I'm not sure why I still have the statement to "sign up".  Anyone can play a NW game and count if I'm notified on this thread or a PM.

I finally got around to building a NW deck so I'd like to give it a try.

*edit*
I won my first ever type NW game with Janissary 6-0.  It was his first game too and his offense didn't work as well as he'd expected.

Just build a deck.  Play.  Report your score.  It's that easy!

Then wash.  Rinse.  Repeat.   :D

Had my best NW game yet against 777Godspeed.  He completely exhausted my offense and defense.  Good thing for me that time ran out!  I won 5-3.

Yes it was a good game and I look forward to more games with everyone.

In perhaps my most enjoyable game in recent memory, I tied Godspeed. 0-0. My offense was missing one of its most vital cards, and he could not beat my defense. It was epic, full of good battles.
Title: Re: Type NW RTS League - 2nd Half
Post by: 777Godspeed on January 24, 2009, 10:47:46 PM
Played Janissary in a grueling game that ended in a 0-0 tie. It was a great game that we both enjoyed tremendously.

777Godspeed and I had a really close game.  I won 4-3 but it could have gone either way since it was back and forth.  No one had more than a 2 lost soul lead.


Standings are updated!   :)

You don't challenge in this. You play a game, and you report. Easy as that.

Raven and I just played a good game. I was up 5-4 going in to the last turn and time ran out on my turn. We finished it out and I got another ls, but Andy wasn't sure if that should be counted or not. I'll let you guys decide.

That's a good point.  I don't know if I mentioned this up front.  We handle the time factor like tournaments.  When the time runs out, complete one full turn.


Per request, standings have been updated.  :)

Have faith.   :)  Becuase we don't "schedule" challenges on a weekly basis, all you have to do is just keep checking Hamachi or the boards for someone to play.  Eventually you'll find someone.

My first game of the new season 11-3 win vs Godspeed GG man.
Title: Re: Type NW RTS League - 2nd Half
Post by: 777Godspeed on February 02, 2009, 12:34:48 PM
It was looking to be a close game for the first 50 mins, with me up 3-0. Then the table turned and in the first 5 mins of the last 10 mins of the game it went from 3-0 to 11-3. Yes, I was schooled by the power of the deviant deck maker and end game strategy. Good game though.


Godspeed,
Mike

Andy and I played a game that ended 5-1 in my favor but that really doesn't show what an all out battle it was.

Post by: Gabe on February 04, 2009, 10:15:56 PM
Mike and I played a game where neither of us drew Lost Souls the first half.  It was a slow, grinding game.  I got a few Lost Souls toward the end.  The final score was 5-2.

To continue my streak of no rescuing in a game, I successfully tied Gabe to a 0-0 draw. 2nd of the year. In this country, we play for keeps. And we don't even take anything!

Great game, Alex.  Although the score doesn't show it, you certainly outplayed me.  :thumbup:

Well...I got lucky and beat RR (he used the wrong deck).  Final Score 4-0.
Title: Re: Type NW RTS League - 2nd Half
Post by: Gabe on February 10, 2009, 08:46:39 PM
I caught RR by surprise with an archtype he didn't think he'd see in type NW.  Turns out those things rear their head in every format.  ::)

Our first ever NW match ended 9-1 in my favor.  I don't expect to be that lucky ever again.  ;)

Gabe and I played an enjoyable game. I was using a brand new deck for me and felt very disjointed playing it. Gabe played flawlessly as is typical of his play, but I was able to eeek out a 2-1 loss..  ;D   I'll make some adjustments and do a little more research to refine what I'm playing and look forward to more games.


Godspeed,

STAMP and I played really cool game. Our decks seemed to be fairly evenly matched most of the game. There were some cool combos the came up. At the end of the game I was able to drop a nuclear bomb on him, but he still came out on top with a 4-2 win. Great game.

Well, in my attempts to make a killer T1 deck, I made what looked to be an awesome type NW deck, so I made a few changes and would now like to test drive it sometime. Gimme a message, and if I dont have too much school, I'll see if I can play.
