The II Eastern Hemisphere Gaia Tournament

Gaianator

I would like to propose a small elo balancing swaps - group D has two sub 200 players and group B only 200+

Group B Molfo and Group D Recods
Group A Markus and Group B Snitz

If there are major objections I would like to make the changes.

Around the weekend, I will send each of you a link to the games.

The first game: no auction. You choose any faction and play.
The second (and next) games: auction as a tool for copying the correct factions order - but I will remind about it.

@Gaianator many thanks for the list, and your points table!

::

What is the prize in the tournament apart from prestige? - unknown player asked.

The award is a diploma, a bouquet of flowers, a chocolate box and a rocket trip to anyany planet in the solar system!*
Are you ready for this?

*But I warn you guys that the organizer reserves the right to withdraw from the award due to coronavirus restrictions!

IMPORTANT informations & request:

player El Temblo was created a discord-channel just for our Tournament, you guys all welcome:
https://discord.com/channels/693041156698669057/887406128290492426

Request:
Please vote & decide:

by putting: A / B / C as comment. You can also write your position on the proposal [1] & [2]

Manual poll only for players enrolled in the EuroAfrAsia Cup (10 A's required for motion to pass):

A: Play all four of your round games simultaneously
B: Play round games one after the other
C: I don't have a particular preference

It's not mine but also yours Tournament. We play together & decide together. If 10 people choose options A or C, we play: 4 games at the same time.

If you don't understand the difference: ask here or check discussion from Discord channel.

Why am I asking you this?

Some players have an idea about changing the system of games. Please check dissciusion
https://discord.com/channels/693041156698669057/702081375309660170
and vote here (forum) or there (Discord), we will summary all voices.

EDIT: But... maybe better way is these proposals:

[1] Each single group can play as they wish if all 4 players agree

and:

[2] In the event of great differences in agreement, Gaianator will reorganize all the groups so that 'simultaneous players' can be put together into 1,2 or 3 groups. And the rest players, preferring old system 'one after another' also put together, into 1,2 or 3 groups. Still we have to keep Torunament's rule: each group is 4 players.

or

[3] @Snitz: all groups should play the same way.

Till now (Discord + forum) :

A (simultaneously) :

Babbuc49,
carioca
rescod

C (indifferent, but 'simultaneously' is OK) :

El Temblo
markus
sharath
Mecenas

B (one after another):

ariallito
effaraitsch
bardopondo
Gaianator
DukeR
lucasrrr (but option A is also ok)
Snitz (but option A is also ok)

::
ps. In my opinion: {1} and {2} is OK: players should try new method. But I definitely want to be in a group that plays in old way: one game after another. If there is no such group - no problem, I will play like everyone else.

Option B.
Why not option A? - playing 4 games in the same setup simultaniously would be just monotonous. It would be harder to follow your pre planned strategy for your game this way, cause the games would mess up. I've got this tested in late Polish Leauge.

Following the same winning patern in the next round games is not the issue in my opinion, because optimal moves highly depent on other players actions, which would differ highly as the games progress. The optimal initial mine placement and boosters taken from game to game probably would be the same - but these decicions are rather obvious.
It like chess - the possibilities count in bilions. No worry in coping winning moves.
