Down to the deciding game!
Good luck athros!
I'm in. Added my name to the list.

There was an odd number of people so whoever signs up next can follow the game initiation process and play me!
Next time please allow at least 24 hours before assigning opponents. For those of us who work and can't come to the forum that's a little bit of a crazy short window.
I don't see the problem. I set it up so people could find people to play and assigned the first few matches to get things moving. As I write this there are two available opponents for you to challenge so it's not like you were left out. The window is still open and will always be open.
My error. I didn't read through all of the instructions. I apologize.
Good games TheWalt! Well played!

Hard fought one and all. Good games athros!
Chumpy has taken game one. QQ
Oh man. This is more complicated an I thought. Thanks to TheWalt for challenging me. Once our games our done, can whoever I play next pleae challenge me? I have a lot on my plate right now and I'd hate to slack getting the games going.
I'm sure we can make it more complicated....
With Asyncronous gameplay, why not have multiple matches going on with multiple goodjers? I'm sure someone out there is smart enough to create a spreadsheet that could track all that action (not looking to volunteer here, but I fully support whoever wants to put forth the effort!)

I've got nine going with nine unique Goodjers, across who knows how many time zones, all with different deck combos. Sure beats the sh*t out of Sudoku for keeping the synapses firing
The hard part about making things more complicated is that Ascension doesn't let you label games, or do much of anything besides play the game.
That's true. I always go back out to the game list and check which decks I'm playing with which person. If I just hit 'next game' I'd be lost.

So you're recording the results of your nine matches on the Googledocs spreadsheet for the Meta- game (by meta, I'm referring to the GWJ league that this thread is about)?

Only one is an actual GWJ league matchup. The rest are just random GWJ goodness with non-league decks.
The reason I support a best of format is I don't think a single game in Ascension is a good evaluation of skill. All of us, even the best players, have had matches where the cards go completely against us and we get blown out of the water.
I agree with this mostly because the game can be really swingy and a tight game can be decided by a high valued card turning up in the final round. That was the only thing I didn't like about the GWJ vs. Qt3 event.
I think best of 3 is probably best just to keep things moving along. Best of 5/7 could make things drag out a while.
That's going to be a seriously long tournament. I would suggest dialing any 5-game series down to 3, and any 7-game series down to 5.
And man, do I wish Ascension let you label games, etc. We will have at least one case of people honestly forgetting how many games they've played, etc.
In pre-season news, I beat Chumpy in game 2, and we're halfway through the rubber match.
EDIT: Tannhausered by shoptroll!

Yeah.... I think I would personally prefer something a little more direct/informal like a straight up single/double-elimination bracket instead of an actual league setup which is going to be a bit more drawn out.
So I beat athras 2-1, and am currently playing oilypenguin. Is my preseason over? Or am I just way ahead of the curve?
Good games oilypenguin!
I thought I was a goner in game 2 when you picked up P.R.I.M.E.
Apparently you didn't draw it quite often enough!
Really close game against monkey. Beat him 83-63.

Smart arse
Your deck destroyed mine in terms of value. Will have to see if I can redeem myself in the second match.

Sorry, I wasn't paying close attention to what you were grabbing. I should've specified that the glory tracker was really close until the end.

Agreed
glory tracker
Sounds like a sordid new feature of Google Maps.
For the preseason, are we randomly challenging anyone on the list or are we being paired? I would like to get a few games in before the tournament starts.
Chumpy polished me off. I think he got an early PRIME. I had about ten more points on the board, but he buried me in the final tally under a mountain of constructs.

For the preseason, we're playing best of 3 against someone we're matching up with on the spreadsheet. I'm now available. But nothing is stopping you from playing friendly games against anyone at all.

Just got my FTP sorted on the iPad, is there anything GoodReader can't do?
We were neck and neck on the glory tracker, as you can see. Power Cards FTW!
Power Cards FTW!
Actually, there's a 20 point difference and 20 more cards in my deck >_<
