Cheeky Gnomes Restless World Cup 2019 (Stage Two)

[blobka]

This stage will be a round robin resulting in the top 2 teams who will go on to the live Final Stage

We will be playing all of the games simultaneously. Players listed at the top of each bracket are responsible for setting up the battle.

The Challonge bracket can be found following by the link: https://challonge.com/1gxxf3bc

You have all been matched with a teammate based on the first stage scoring and will remain with your partner for the rest of the tournament.

Teammates are listed together and are as follows:

• TEAM 1: IOD & RODERIC
• TEAM 2: VIKING34 & TIGER
• TEAM 3: EIDOLON & AKA
• TEAM 4: BOS5K & LARKAA

Setup guidelines:

• Battles will be 2 v 2, and should be setup with alternating team members (A, B, A, B)
• 25 turns, 20 days per player, randomly generated maps

If your game has not been setup within a couple of days, please let Aka or Blobka know.

To Arms!!!

Hi Gang! Everyone should have set up the games they are responsible for, invited the necessary players, and started by now. If you haven’t please do so asap. If you are having some kind of trouble, let me know and I’ll do what I can to help. Goodluck!

@Tiger, @Viking34, @Roderic, @Larkaa, @Iod

[Roderic]

I am confused, weren’t all the games set up or so? I have seen Bos5k creating several in a row but I don’t know if there were already made by @Aka. What’s going on?

[Aka]

lol. well… I’m trying to resolve the situation,

[Aka]

@Larkaa Hey Dude. Rumor has it that you surrendered in a tournament game. Not sure what the deal is, can you let us know what’s going on? I’ll give you a day or 2 to respond then I’ll have to replace you in the tourney.

[Bos5k]

Hi, sorry i’m slow

[blobka]

No worries good you made it, and as you were posting first time you get nose-slap and butt-kick as a part of initiation ceremony!

[Aka]

@Tiger, @Roderic, @Bos5k, @Viking34, @Eidolon, @Iod

I’m not sure what is going on with Larkaa, but it looks like we need to replace him as Bos5k’s teammate. That means that any games already started need to be canceled and reformed. Games that are still in the lobby just need to be rearranged.

@bejebus, get your magic cloak on dude, you’ve been partnered with Bos5k

[bejebus]

Always the bridesmaid never the bride.

But not today!

[Tiger]

Hey Aka, I cant set up any game, when I try it wont let me open any slots, very strange

[bejebus]

I think the lobby bug is rearing its head again. The menus are there but they are invisible. When I joined in @Bos5k games the join button wasn’t there but if clicked where it should be, I was added.

I’ve had some success in the past by selecting an item from the menu while it’s invisible which causes it to redraw.

You can also try going into a battle (tutorial or spectate are quickest) then going back into the lobby

[Aka]

i give up. i quit

[Tiger]

First time I have ever encountered it:0

[Aka]

@Viking34 @Tiger

How about having your partner, Viking, setup the games?

[Viking34]

I suffered the same menu bug, but following Roderick’s suggestion of entering and quitting the tutorial solved it. The menus are there, just invisible!

@bejebus @Bos5k I have set up our match in bracket 11 as ‘CheekyGnomes game 11’

Can’t find you on the friend list Tiger

[Viking34]

@Tiger the forum only lets me tag 2 people at a time

[Tiger]

Hey Viking, can you set up our 4 games please as the custom game lobby is bugging out on me

[Viking34]

Hey @Tiger , I’m also unable to start our games. I made one you’re not in yet, but this time the workaround for the menu bug doesn’t solve my invisible menus.

[Aka]

dear god, you guys are slowly killing me

Can we get this sorted today? I have found that setting a game to private acts as a beacon for the bug monster, so always go with public. login/logout or spectating a game or popping into the tutorial are usually enough to refresh the screen

[bejebus]

We better have a whip round for Aka’s medical bills, the stress we’re putting him under
