good idea.
Chaos, you manage the further instructions and so on. please

Chaos 
Temo: single elimination?
We could set up a small single elimination tournament, this is a lot faster. We'd best choose small fast i guess, so pawns who enter this one are ready for the next tournament once it starts. How about it?

Temo: Re:
Tian-Xian: We want to have players move at least once a day so the tournament doesn't take forever. If you can play several times on other days no one will make a problem of you not moving on sunday.

Thx I do have the weekends set up but if a tournie is a 1 day one does it allow for weekends?

This was the last one I joined:
Sabotage League - Small Fast Espionage - #2 (Small Fast Espionage)

it is still running.
I can't play one day a move, as I don't play on a Sunday as I said -
do they have extra time for weekend moves here like IYT?

Hi Mikong,

good to see a new member in the espionage community!

I'm currently taking part in an older tourney: the SL-SFE#2, where, thanks to Mark, I LOST MY FIRST GAME in the second round! Grmpf***§$F#!!!! ... well, that's another topic.

Thus, as a non-member I won't be able to join a second one.

But, as a warm-up I'm happy to send you an invite for small espionage ...

cheers, Sandoz

I have a poor track record of completing tournaments . . . so I only join them when I forget that.

Always happy to play a game though..

♦ Nothingness
♦ Mikong (At least 1 move a day/ more on weekends)
♦ SL-Bosse
♦ SL-GentleKiller (At least two moves a day)

cookie monster: What about you? are you in?

Tian-Xian: Please, send the link of the tournament, so that we could see it. One move a day is enough i think.

I am not playing in a tournie but would have to ask if I can join another, as it prob still on the go

I play at least once daily but not on a Sunday

Is that fast enough?

Ok, then let's record the players move time like this:

Players:

♦ Nothingness
♦ Mikong (At least 1 move a day/ more on weekends)
♦ SL-Bosse

♦ Chaos (If we cannot start within 2 weeks :))

So, please, write your move time possibilities. It will also help others to see that the tournament won't last for ever

Mikong: Welcome to espionage! just to let you know i recently completed a game with sandoz that lasted 321 moves. Since we both moved Quickly it didnt last that long but a match like that could last years. Tourneys aren't suggested for those variants unless Fischer clock is used. Open is the preference here.

Temo: Re: New tournament

Mikong: I'm in, and want to help recruiting players, only I'm leaving for 2 weeks tomorrow. I can help after that.


In the mean time, maybe other league players can make Mikong feel welcome in the league, and maybe suggest players for the tournament?


see you all in a few weeks!!!

Chaos:

Hmm.. Good idea about inviting "fast" players or those who don't play too slow. Then, let's start asking guys who'd like to participate. I can guarantee to play at least 1 or 2 moves a day :)

Temo: Re: New tournament

Mikong: Hi Mikong, welcome on the espionage bord, great to see you here :) What kind of tournament did you have in mind? Small espionage isn't popular to all espionage fans because of the length of the game. It's much slower than small fast or open fast espionage. Though I do believe there are some who especially like the variant, I think Nothingness and Altermann do and the Alchemist and I believe Sandoz still likes the variant. I'd be willing to join as well.


Also, we haven't had a serieus small espionage competition for some time which would be a good arguement for doing it. The biggest problem would be not just the length of the game, but the length of the entire tournament. We've been discussing the issues on that matter on this board. Maybe a single elimination would take some of the problems and inviting only those who don't play extremely slow.


What are your thoughts on the matter?

Hi there, i'm also an espianage game fan.

Let's create new tournament to the game - Small Espionage.

Temo: Re:
Nothingness: Okay, then I will tell you the location of my bombs and base before you setup. You can tell me the location of all your 1s on move 1.

Shall we delete this game and start a new one?

18. Septembro 2010, 23:06:29
Nothingness 
it makes a huge difference if you know what pieces are where prior to setup especially with bombs and bases as apposed to moveable pieces. There is a big advantage to the person revealing the bombs. the game totally changes. the same is in chess i guess with an adjournment. so one person dont have too much advantage.

Nothingness: Game I sent you an invite for is random colour and uncounted, meaning it is neither BKR rated, nor does the game count on your stats.

The order is:

2. Game is setup.
3. White moves and tells
4. Black moves and tells.

Mark and I set the pieces up then revealed them.

18. Septembro 2010, 17:07:50
Chaos 
Temo: Re:
Nothingness: it would be difficult to tell before set up because in that case the opponent would make a set up based on that, giving their information back, leading to a change in set up from the 1st person etc. I'd say you make the set up and give the information before the 1st move.

18. Septembro 2010, 16:47:12
Nothingness 
im under the assumption that we know this prior to set up? or do get told where they will be after setup?

18. Septembro 2010, 16:42:49
Nothingness 
we should also make these unrated games as well.

18. Septembro 2010, 16:02:12

Temo: Re:

SL-Mark: it was your own proposal


Anyway, we each know 7 pieces, right? :)


I only have 1 problem: I don't think I can play two such games at the same time because of the tracking. If it's okay with you I'll play Eric first. Shouldn't take that long given the way and frequency of our play.

Temo: Re:
Chaos: Mmmmm, finding it difficult to evaluate this information exchange, moreso in the light of the previous exchange.

Against my better judgement I will agree :)
So we have:
I show 2s, 4s and base
You show 1s and two recons.

Suddenly my 3s and 5s looked very exposed :(

18. Septembro 2010, 13:43:15

Temo: Re:
Nothingness: "it would be impossible to win a game with someone having prior knowledge of your bombs for 5 1s being revealed."

Interesting that you believe this. Indeed cookie monster has offered a lot more than this just for the five 1s, and I'm still not sure if this was a good deal! Eliminate the pieces, assume equal information exchange in the process (and remove from the equation) and we are left with the three revealed 1s, an unrevealed recon (forgot about this one previously) against one revealed recon. Which gives (3x1 - 2) = 1 against 1. Have assumed an unrevealed recon = 2 and a revealed recon = 1.

But if you still think it would be impossible for me to win if I share the location of my mines (and base) in exchange for the knowledge of your five 1s, I will send you an invite on this basis. Note, you will have some very difficult decisions to make, e.g. whether you will exchange a 2 for a recon!

18. Septembro 2010, 06:45:39
Nothingness 
perhaps a mini elimination tourney with this. of course extensive note taking would have to take place and a constant reminder from opp of the location of the pieces.

18. Septembro 2010, 06:44:04

Temo: Re:
cookie monster: Sorry Eric, wasn't trying to hussle another 1, just didn't think this through. I have found some additional value that should balance this difference, making your original offer acceptable and fair (doubt I would throw in an extra 1), though I just know I won't like your set up :) I will send you an invite.

18. Septembro 2010, 00:56:41
SL-Mark 
Temo: Re:
Chaos: My precious 4s and base!
I would accept this offer.
Anything else you would care to exchange in this game? I would be interested in learning the location of some of your recons. I put my 2s on the table.

Modifita de SL-Mark (18. Septembro 2010, 00:51:24)
cookie monster: Interesting! Swap them all out (useful pieces, i.e. those that can move) we are left with my remaining three revealed 1s against your revealed recon. So I have given you a value of 3 in exchange for 2! Throw in another 1 please and game on! I won't need the location of your base or mines :)

Temo: Re:
cookie monster: as said, I'd happily take a shot  Only problem is you can't reveal them without me revealing my recons. Or I'd have to make an enormous amount of notes. I'm willing to try though. After my holidays an invite will be waiting :)
