Dumb Luck Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) Sorry to hear about the pull out! I'll be seeing you at Stockport with my Gremlins! Ah, LOTR ... now there's a system I love but haven't played in years. Got about 1000pts in Shirelings hidden someplace. Right! Current list is as stands! 1 - James Doxey (The Dreamer/Chompy Bits) 2 - Andi Davies (Colette) 3 - Sam Rudland (The Dreamer/Chompy Bits) 4 - Liam Coupland (Lady Justice) 5 - Richard Baker (McMourning) 6 - Steven Scurr (Colette) 7 - Paul Hansell (Seamus/Lilth) 8 - Craig Johnson (Sonnia) 9 - Adam Reeve (Hoffman) 10 - Dai Garland (Opheila) 11 - Mike Penberthy (Lucius) 12 - Simon Cheyne (Rasputina) 13 - James Blagden (Perdita) 14 - Ashley Pinder (Colette) 15 - Richard Turner (Lilth) 16 - Ant Hoult (Kirai) STILL YET TO BUY A TICKET! Judging from an email that Adam sent me, there might be a few more from Harrogate yet to come. Along with a few more locals, we might just break twenty! =) Edited June 19, 2011 by Dumb Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Doxey with Dreamer crew ey, going for the win then I take it Mythic!.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucket Monkey Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Good to see the draw up, now just to see who my LJ will be facing first off. Nice to see a reasonable mix of masters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumb Luck Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Best Arcanist and Neverborn are going to be heavily fought after by the looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucket Monkey Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I don't know the guild and ressers have 3 players the same as the 3 for the neverborn so far. Its only the outcasts which are under represented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythicFOX Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 And Doxey with Dreamer crew ey, going for the win then I take it Mythic!.. Dr Doug has no hope of competing at the chosen strategies. So Chompy it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mythicFOX Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Need to spend some more time practicing. Took Chompy out off the case for my first game with him in four months today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drake Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 It's alright, i've only played against Chompy once, in the Brum tourny...although I have some tactics in mind to try and deal with his movement and approach to the game mechanics he employs... Wont get to test it out though until I play at Cardiff.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumb Luck Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Due to the number of people who have not declared their masters, I will be doing one of two things. Removing them from the current draw so they play each other or docking them some point for time keeping. Since you're the guys attending, what would you prefer? And on the subject of points docking, how many? Also, at this rate I'll be giving myself Best Outcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrocky Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 No points docked and leave the draw as it is as I haven't played my opponent before! Just bombard them with emails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I would recommend posting on here and PM'ing them and remind them they havent submitted their Masters, advise last chance to do sy bo x day otherwise they will be subject to points deduction, but then im a nice fair guy, ...(It's always good to know what the consequence is before your hit with it, so you can do something to avoid the penalty)otherwise would probably disagree with me and just vote points deductions Their is no disbenefit/penalty for them to just play another player with unknown Master as both players will be in the same boat for their first game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythicFOX Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Ok here's my thoughts... A: If you're going to change the pairings then you need to do this for everyone once you know everyone's masters. Otherwise it's just splitting the field in to two groups. Seen as one group has; Ant, Drake and Rocky in it, it's probably putting the other group at an advantage by preventing them facing them round one. B: If you go with a point deduction I'd take 0.5 VP off them at the end of the event. That way you don't skew the pairings during the event and they only drop a place in the event of a tie. If they score more VP than someone during the event they'll still end the event above them. This means they have nearly the same odds of winning the event as anyone else. C: The third way would be to drop the requirement to submit masters until the day of the event and removed the list of what everyone is playing from your posts. That way players who've already chosen can mix it up if they want to get tricky, and you don't have to hunt down the other 1/3 of the field. My personal preference in this scenario would be C. - James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal preference in this scenario would be C. - James My preference would be B rather than C, merely because I am still relatively new to the game and dont have the model collection to just chop and change Masters, and im sure i'm not the only one. B seems the fairest as it is a minimal VP deduction which keeps the tournament on fairly even terms and only penalises those late declarers in the case of ties. My opinion anyway. p.s. me, Ant and ukrocky arent the only ones to be at a disbenefit if you decide to pair un declared masters together....
