Khyodee Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 What's the word now that the Explorers' pdf is available digitally? Opponents can share cards if needed, or still waiting for app? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you signed up with ES, you're still in time to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point it looks like all the would-be explorers have decided to hold off explorin' until next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcathous Posted December 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Hello all! It is time for December’s Feast. So here’s what’s up: We have 58(!) people signed up for this event. When we were planning this several months ago, we had no idea how awesome a turnout we’d be getting. A 60-person, 3-round swiss bracket will always end up with some wonky final scores; so we've decided there’s gonna be two feasts. Each feast is a 29-person event, which will give us much cleaner results at the end of 3 rounds. Obviously there will be two podiums, but the feasts are valued equally in terms of World Series standing, and they have been split to preserve faction distribution from the 58-person field as best as possible. Besides, holidays are coming, why not hand out more trophies? Feast #1: Blessed of December Feast #2: The Damned Note: to handle the odd numbered brackets, the ringer pairings from each feast will be traveling through the breach and facing each other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there are multiple interpretations, the rules committee discussed and voted on it. Until Wyrd releases something official on it, that's the ruling that will stand for all world series events. We hope that putting out our TO rulings ahead of time allows you to play a competitive game against the field even if you don't agree with every decision that has been made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniacal_cackle Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 If it isn't too late to change, why not have a 30 person and 28 person event? Having two ringers seems unfortunate. But imagine it is too late to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcathous Posted December 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 @Maniacal_cackle it's so that each event is worth the exact same points in the overall series standings. The ringer matches still count as regular matches for both players, so it isn't too bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the brackets are locked and I balanced the groups by faction, letting people swap at this point is adding too much confusion to a large event 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcathous Posted December 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Since the event has started and everyone who was initially on Explorer's opted out, I am going to say that no new models from the Explorer's release will be allowed throughout this event. E.g. Malisaurus Rex, Spelleaters, Harata Ngaatoro, and The Damned are not allowed. Since Rough Riders have been in the app for about a month now, they are available for Guild Basse and TT McCabe.

There will be more analysis available as we have time to implement it. Also check out the stuff @Yore Huckleberry is posting in the faction channels.

Alcathous Posted December 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Reminder to all players that the time limit for these games is not optional. Since differential affects your final standing, having more time than other competitors is a distinct advantage. At 2:45, a new round may not be started. At 3:00 the game after the model currently activating finishes its activation. If you decide to end with an agreed result after 2:45, the final score should reflect the number of rounds played. The time limit is not intended to be a punishment to anyone, but is a concession we are making to facilitate games across so many different time zones. 3 hours is intended to provide enough time to complete a game, while also giving players more security in scheduling games at odd hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcathous Posted December 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 R2 terrain definitions had a typo; steam cloud should be hazardous, not severe. I re-uploaded the PDF with the correct information. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcathous Posted December 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 December's Feast is over! Congratulations to the podiums of both the Blessed of December and The Damned! Blessed of December Podium is: 1st Place @Domin 2nd PLace @wookiejunior 3rd Place @ShinChan See the full results here. The Damned Podium is: 1st Place @Pergli 2nd Place @TheForce 3rd Place @santaclaws01 See the full results here. Since we had "dummy ringers" in these games, the ringers are showing up approximately mid-pack but they are dropped for overall series rank. So if you're showing up underneath the ringer, you are actually one higher than your listed rank. Your best three events of the series will place you in the overall standings. Check out the overall World Series rankings at https://vassal.malifaux-rankings.com/#/rankings Wyrd has generously donated gift codes as raffle prizes for the series (Thank you!). Raffle tickets are accumulating for each event, and we'll do a raffle every three events. The first drawing will be held after New Year's Retribution next month. Players are earning 1 ticket for playing, 1 for each game scoring 4+ VP, 1 ticket for taking a podium spot, and 1 ticket for best in faction. Once again, thank you and congrats to all who played. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
