Even if he had cease-fired it doesn't mean Quellist would have...Remember that score is not based on if the game had continued but if he had just cease-fired instead of surrendering on that turn.

If an opponent says he's done playing for whatever reason (and not just to quit while he's ahead / winning) & calls for a ceasefire- it should be accepted & ceasefire, that or see an opponent just surrender or quit sending turns.Even if he had cease-fired it doesn't mean Quellist would have...
Understood...If an opponent says he's done playing for whatever reason (and not just to quit while he's ahead / winning) & calls for a ceasefire- it should be accepted & ceasefire, that or see an opponent just surrender or quit sending turns.
It's the simplest friendly solution and gives a snapshot Victory Score instead of having a 100% Victiory or guessing the outcome. A surrender & 100% win just skews the results and an unresponsive opponent messes things up just as much.
And, thanks to a tourney of Gentleman-warriors the First Round will continue as is. :salute:
Especially if that's what the tourney director asks for in advance.If an opponent says he's done playing for whatever reason (and not just to quit while he's ahead / winning) & calls for a ceasefire- it should be accepted & ceasefire, that or see an opponent just surrender or quit sending turns.
Yeah, no problem with the score, it is calculated by the game and as a point value it is "perfect". Perhaps assessment wasn't the right word, it was the part about how might/would play out I disagreed with .Remember that score is not based on if the game had continued but if he had just cease-fired instead of surrendering on that turn.
Well, the problem is that is, in some sense, what happens if you just cease-fire. This is a worst possible outcome for me, score wise (as much as anything can be certain in CM), and thus it is a best possible out come for whomever takes Leto's spot, thus it becomes an unintended quit while "ahead" (or, in this case, not as far behind) type scenario.If an opponent says he's done playing for whatever reason (and not just to quit while he's ahead / winning)
Sure, but this skews the results against me almost as much as a surrender skews them for me.A surrender & 100% win just skews the results and an unresponsive opponent messes things up just as much.
It seems to me, that the solution would be to take the average of the surrender score and the cease-fire score...Please bear in mind that English is a second language for me and that some things might sound harsher than intended.

If you are going to enforce sportsmanlike rules to when you can request a cease-fire, they should be applied to the situation in the game as well. And in this case Leto didn't quit because of RL issues, he quit because he had lost his armor, had 12-13 turns of grueling grind ahead of him and thought that I had gotten a much better deal with my force.

One is the floor score, the other the ceiling score.
As I said earlier though, I'm easy and I'll play my score as it stands, without grumbling too much . But I can't say that that I don't think that I get a pretty bad deal.
The Surrender vs. cease-fire /2 score is 77/23.Outcome: Allied *Minor Victory 59/41.
* May be adjusted up later depending on other games*
Oh ok, I had no idea, was wondering what was taking so long. Thanks for posting.Still having PC trouble with my gaming machine and CMBB stopped working in Linux. New graphics card is scheduled to show up today.
Yeah, sorry about that. I was remote for the weekend but then the graphics card in my server/workstation had blown up and I had to use the one from the gaming machine. I also found why CMBB stopped working on Linux, so a turn should come shortly after I get home.Oh ok, I had no idea, was wondering what was taking so long. Thanks for posting.
Yes... File on it's way!I think I'm in Trouble. Big Trouble.
Can I have a lifeline and go back a turn or two?
An Axis victory - well done. Looking forward to the AAR.LOL...Lifeline was needed. Several heroes stepped up.
Battle finished. jdsu vs BigAlMoho
Tactical victory for Axis. 68 - 32.
This is from the beginning of this thread:There are still two games left and if the two stand-bys square off for a fast one that will make three. So it appears you are going to have to wait before you can start killing things again.:bandit::ar15::horse::rifle:
