You say I am eligible for the "John Snow Twist" but I already finished my games, didn't know I was eligible and didn't name anyone. So what do I do with this???

Thoughts?


I can see where you're coming from ETG and I considered that...But once I sent out the PMs to the players, they started responding and 99% of them so far said they simply forgot. I can't penalize people for being human and making a mistake.

On that same train of thought....I just found out there is still one game active (Game 16916902) with Twist potential...I have to move everything back until that match officially ends.

if we say then they should perhaps get the same twist with 2 2-0 victories , then what happens if the win the first 3-0 and the second goes win, win, loss ...was their record 2-0, and 2-0 OR 3-0 and 2-1....

I'm ok either way ; where I am on the ladder is not critical to me, just started this 2nd post cause i figured you'd missed the last of my loses , posted it to say again i was 2-1 twice , but then saw your response to my firstr post ; so I edited the second post to this ....

Dave,

You're totally good with asking your questions. To help explain it a bit better, I'm going to use you for my example. Remember, everything on the Ladder runs chronologically.

In your first match against benga, you posted a win of 2 - 1. I went back to the game logs and confirmed it:

Game 16904151 - 2016-10-14 17:22:58 - t4mcr53s2 won the game
Game 16896269 - 2016-10-09 14:10:48 - benga won the game
Game 16896262 - 2016-10-13 08:56:24 - t4mcr53s2 won the game

Benga won the first game and then you came back and won the next two...chronologically. This confirmed your 2 -1 victory.

In your second match against ben.cleuch, you posted a win of 2 -1. When I went in to confirm the victories, this is what I found:

Game 16916851 - 2016-10-18 18:28:37 - t4mcr53s2 won the game
Game 16916848 - 2016-10-20 18:01:39 - t4mcr53s2 won the game
Game 16916847 - 2016-10-21 05:09:12 - ben.cleuch won the game

You won the first two games before Ben won the third game...chronologically. You won the match with your second win, so the score was changed to 2 - 0.

When someone claims a 3 - 0 victory, I go and look. If I see the score is confirmed, then I just leave it...maybe laziness on my part, but same result.

I hope this helps...

Chuck

Silly,

You can invoke your John Snow twist at anytime before the deadline.

Originally, that deadline was November 3, but I missed Game 16916902 as still being played, so the deadlines are being pushed back until this game/match is complete.

I will post here and send out a mass PM with the new deadlines.

Chuck

I dont understand how celliotti is 5th and me 4th when celliottii has double 2-0 wins while I have 2-1 and 2-0? His score is better, how come he is placed below me?

Chuck will confirm .. but I believe it has to do with the order of when the wins were reported in the thread.

Exactly right...I was the first to report a match victory (which put me at #1)...I also reported my second win a short time later which kept me (or moved me back) up to #1. Since then, players have been reporting their second victory and pushing me back down...Remember, a second victory moves you up five spaces.

It all boils down to match reporting...

Any chance to put the score link in the OP? don't see it...may be it is intentional?

What is the deadline for twist usage? Is it still 11/3 23:59?

The following matches are being automatically reported:

Eventhough we were waiting for one last match to be complete, we have passed the original deadline I set forth for players to report their completed matches. In order to keep the Ladder Reset moving, I am automatically reporting these matches.

[spoiler=Chapcrap Matches]benga challenges chapcrap...chapcrap wins 2 - 1:

Game 16916882 - 2016-10-22 01:22:43 - benga won the game
Game 16916880 - 2016-10-22 02:08:06 - chapcrap won the game
Game 16916881 - 2016-10-23 00:35:47 - chapcrap won the game

chapcrap challenges torres44cm...chapcrap wins 3 - 0.

Game 16916889 - 2016-10-19 20:46:15 - chapcrap won the game
Game 16916887 - 2016-10-23 22:57:49 - chapcrap won the game
Game 16916886 - 2016-10-27 20:44:52 - chapcrap won the game

Ok...Chapcrap enters the Ladder at #13...with his second victory, he moves up to #8.

Benga moves down to #19 and has qualified for the Arya Stark Twist scenario.

torres44cm moves down to #20 and has qualified for the Cersei Lannister Twist scenario.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Philbro v Charle Match]Philbro challenges Charle...Charle wins 2 - 0.

Game 16916853 - 2016-10-19 01:32:40 - Charle won the game
Game 16916856 - 2016-10-20 01:30:54 - Charle won the game
Game 16916854 - 2016-10-20 16:10:07 - Philbro won the game

Charle moves up to #12 with his second win.

Philbro moves down to #22 and has qualified for the Cersei Lannister Twist scenario.[/spoiler]

Hodor.

Now the real Game of Thrones can get started...

No one has activated their Twist scenario yet...and why would you this early in the game??? :o

Who will activate their twist first?

Who will you screw over?

Cersei Lannister is still lurking out there...there are FIVE players qualified to use their Cersei Lannister Twist...

Now, all players with qualified twists will have until 2359 EST November 4th to activate their twist...otherwise you do lose it...no exceptions.

Now comes the final Twists...(yes, I'm an evil bastard!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: )

These Twists will take place once the initial Twists have been completed and reported.

[spoiler=The War of the Five Kings]"Renly Baratheon is nothing to me, nor Stannis neither. Why should they rule over me and mine from some flowery seat in Highgarden or Dorne? What do they know of the Wall or the wolfswood or the barrows of the First Men? Even their gods are wrong. The Others take the Lannisters too. I've had a bellyful of them. Why shouldn't we rule ourselves again? It was the dragons we married, and the dragons are all dead. There sits the only king I mean to bend my knee to, m'lords: The King in the North!" - GreatJon Umber

The Top 5 players will play ONE game on Classic with the following settings: Manual, Sequential, Escalating, Chained, Fog, No Trench, 20 Round Limit

Based on results will determine the final rankings for Top 5 (winner = 1st, second, = 2nd, etc.)

[/spoiler]

[spoiler=The White Walker Twist]"In that darkness the White Walkers came for the first time. They swept through cities and kingdoms, riding their dead horses, hunting with their packs of pale spiders big as hounds." - Old Nan

Five players ranked between #11 and #25 will be randomly selected and chosen as White Walkers.

White Walkers will be able to challenge one player (aka Knight) up to five rungs above them in ONE game on Classic with the following settings: Automatic, Sequential, Zombie, Adjacent, Fog, Trench, 20 Round Limit.

If the White Walker wins, the players trade places on the Ladder.

If the Knight wins, he moves up three places and the White Walker stays where they are at.

[/spoiler]

Once The War of the Five Kings and the White Walker Twists are complete, the Ladder Reset Game of Thrones will be complete and Ladder 5.0 will start shortly thereafter.

I made a mistake...yep...I did.

I got my dates confused and thought the original Twist scenarios had expired, so I went to the next phase of the Ladder reset without checking.

All original twist scenarios will expire tonight at 2359 EST...

my bad...I screwed up...no excuses, except common stupidity...

Not automatically invoked...you moved up five spots when you won your second match...

I'm going to assume you want to invoke it now, so it will move you up to #2...you cannot take over the #1 spot with the Dany Twist...

Ok then yes please invoke.

But it did say:

Ok...Got the Twist and updated the Ladder. grt is now #1 and DrT is now #13.

By taking over the #1 spot, grt has nullified Russde's Cersei Lannister Twist and that challenge is now no longer valid and does not count for the Ladder Reset.

All players that were qualified for various Twist scenarios and did not activate/invoke them have lost that privilege.

There are no active Twist challenges (I verified it this time...lol), so I'm declaring the first half of the SoC GoT Ladder Reset complete. I'll be post the second half here shortly.
