Intermezzo Championship

brainac

The league was awsome. When do you expect to run the next season?

pajada

Next season will start on October 25 (this championship is played every 3 months). If you like to play more, you can join another championship I organize - International (https://account.czechgames.com/tournaments/detail/21) which starts in 6 days and is altering Intermezzo. Divisions, promotions, relegations are separate in these two championships.

Pajada, it was very interesting experience, the tournament guaranteed me a lot of fun. Thanks for organising the event. I just wonder how you solve situations when some players do not sign up for the next edition in regards to relegations and promotions system. F.e. if I will be promoted from silver to gold league in first season, in second I will not sign up, and I will want start again in third season... in this case in which league I will play in thrid season? Gold, Silver, or maybe (as my position will be restarted) Wood?

pajada

Krzesimyr If you tell me in advance, you can keep your division when you skip 1 season. If you skip more and come back, I will try to seed you to the proper division but I can't guarantee it.
In these cases it is always better to contact me via email pajada@gmail.com

Hi everyone, I'm new at the tournament. How can I join the first match?

Jorrig

Francis88 No need to join, they will be created automatically. Just look at your online games, they should be there and you should be assigned automatically.

Goldan

Hi, glad to be here. Thanks for organizing! I have two questions:

If a player is replaced by a bot, and the bot wins, how many points do the other players get? 5-2 or 2-0?
How many players will be promoted from Wood groups?

ackbleh

Goldan This happened to me... and my remaining opponent made sure the bot won, declaring themselves a war that they lost to the bot, feeding the bot points. Check Wood group 31 -- I only got 2 points. I suggest there is an opportunity to improve here, though perhaps our tournament organizer is not empowered to make the change themselves.

pajada

@Goldan and @ackbleh you can read about it in the description of the tournament:
Every player who runs out of time will be placed last with score 0 points independently of the score of AI who replaced them.
This will not be reflected directly on this web, final standings will be done in Google Docs manually.
If bot wins and you are 2nd, you will get 5 points (only it will not be reflected on the web).

Goldan

pajada Thanks for the reply. I had read the description, but I think it'd be great to clarify that the other players will always get 5-2 points (especially since the group page incorrectly shows 2-0).

Btw what about number of players to be promoted from Wood?

Grobyl

I have a weird bug : a red message on my screen : 'consistency check facile failed' with an option to send the bug to the devs. Il also suggest to not continue the game :/

Game 2 ; Wood 12

Edit : I took a screenshot in case you need it

pajada

Grobyl if the problem persists, please contact directly CGE by email support@czechgames.com

pajada

Goldan I will try to improve the description (add an example). 1st and 2nd place from each Wood league will be promoted this season.

Grobyl

@pajada yeah now I can't load the game anymore, unfortunatly I'll lose by time 🙁 Is there anyway to prevent this ?

pajada

Grobyl CGE support answered today when you have already timed out 🙁 I can see that AI was able to be 2nd, are you ok if you will receive 2 points for being second in this game?

Grobyl

pajada
Sorry, I saw your message only now. I'm OK with that. Anyway it's insufficient to promote me so there is no harm.

I just have to play better next tournament

One of my latest games is showing on here as everyone having timed out now. One player (position 2) did so a while back and was replaced by a bot, but the other player (position 1) has played his turn and in the game lobby it says 'Almost your turn', but when I load the game it plays out Player 1's turn then crashes to the desktop. Another case for a support e-mail I guess 🙁

Glamdring

I had a reply from support and they have locked the game in question until an update with the fix will be ready in the next week or so as they can't fix it completely without that.

Kruch

Wood 19 game 9 seems bucked, game says that I am in my politics phase, but order player appears to have not ended his turn and so my does not start and time is ticking down..

cookieben

This question might came up often before and I apologize if you have explained that before.

In a 3p game, one player had timed out and was replaced by AI. And the final result was

(1) the AI, (2) the other player, (3) me. (How that happened was not in the scope of this question)

Does that mean in the final scoring counting:
(a) the other player got 2 points. I got 0 points, or
(b) the other player got 5 points because the first place was AI. I got 2 points for the same reason.

Right now the system proceeded with (a). But I would like to double check how the final scoring is done.

Thanks.

Goldan

cookieben it's b) you'll get 2 points. The web interface is wrong here (tournament rules are different). The correct standings will be in Google Sheets.
I had the same question above. I suggest @pajada adds this precise example to the tournament description (of Intermezzo and International), because otherwise it's not clear.

cookieben

Goldan Thanks for the detailed explanation!
