Precision on the application of the rule: after the deadline (today 23:59 CET, please see the countdown there: https://www.the-battlefield.c... players finish the ongoing turn (e.g. turn 23 of your game) and the last player in the turn order surrenders and takes the screenshot. The score of the turn that was ongoing at the moment of the deadline is used to decide the winners.

To xlnt
 You are wrong a little bit. I leveled up only 2 heroes to level 10.  But I lost my 3-rd hero about 2 turns ago :'( <smiletext6>  
By the way, I forgot to see our enemies' characteristics (class/race). If you can do it before surrendering then fill the fields when you will report this session. 
Or you may upload screenshot to this site and send me screenshot's link by PM that I can report instead of you <smiletext1>

ok - thanks, nothing really interesting to report but i'll try

I made a lot of gold on a map with heavy restrictions to movement and got some t3 units from race upgrades and taverns and we scouted with water walk and flying units while my teammate did a fast hero upgrade to lvl 10-ish on 3 heroes.

not a single battle with the opponents so far

Current round will end in about 54 hours. Rules say: "If neither of the players won 2 months after the start of the round, then one should surrender and take a screenshot of the score and provide it to the judges. The team with the highest (combined) score then wins the match. If scores are very close, the judges can decide that it is a draw and ask the players to replay the game with a shorter (for instance 1 month) deadline."

We are discussing exactly how to apply that with the 2 other judges.

Hey there! It seems that Boze has skipped several of his turns. I hope you will be able to get back to normal...
In any case, please remember it's a double elimination tournament so both teams will have a 2nd match and chance to win! @Boze and Embahr: you may want to play more games here to practice; do not hesitate to join the PBEM Player Pool and post there to get opponents! https://www.the-battlefield.c... />
Reminder: this round will end at the latest on 15 November and the team with the highest score will win if you haven't finished by then.

Summary
Hi friends.
I've got such PBEM version upgrade message today. But all conditions are normal for this session and are the same as at my previous turn. So I played my turn. But the next player, which will be play his turn after me, may face the inability to play. If it happens, let me know about it. And I will try to fix it. Maybe even with tech support

To Embahr
Hi.
I sympathize with you that you have such unreliable partner as Boze. <smiletext6> Maybe he is really strong player, I don't argue. But he already skipped 3 his turns in a row. And it looks like that you lost your interest to continue fighting in such position. :'( It's very sad. It might be very interesting and strategic fight session <smiletext1>

Just a casual report:

now that we're all here and playing - we do a turn a day! Last night when i got home from work i had the game waiting for me with 3 hours left to play my turn!!! This is great - so i went and played my turn at around 19.30-20.30 and then - just before i went to bed at around 24.30 i had another turn to play (:

It's great - good timing and all (;

p.s.
i mean - it's so good that i should try and get home from work or miss my turn good

Hi. I came back and I'm ready to continue to play. By judges' decision I will return 1-day turn timer. Sorry for the delay <smiletext6>

Yes, he said "Now I'm going to working trip from September 26 for about 2 weeks."
The judges told him by PM to put back the turn timer to 1 day (after he comes back), even if it means him skipping turn.

Still waiting
still waiting on skuns to take his turn since the 25th. Just saying

Hi guys,

as Hiliadan explained - we have a situation (which is not the worst thing ever but is still something to pay attention and fix) and we also have an answer for it - now let's go do the action points assigned for us, right?

Surely IRL is much more important then some game (:

p.s. If I were american I would have already filed a harassment suit. 

this was really funny - did you mean all americans are idiots that live in a self contained dream world? I'm sure there are some nice guys there that use their heads for rational thinking (;

Ok so...
Please check the rules: http://www.the-battlefield.co... />
Settings include:
"Turn timer = 1 day"

Rule 3: "3. If one player temporarily cannot play his turns in 24 hours (e.g. because of holidays, or personal issues), and warn the host reasonably in advance, then the host should temporarily change the turn timer to accommodate him."

So the idea is that players need to explain to the host when they cannot play your turn in 24 hours. The best for that is that that post it here (on the game blog).
It is not in the rules but it is clearly much better if players check this game blog often and check their private messages on site often too, because they are the most efficient tools for the judges and other players to reach anyone involved in the tournament.

There was indeed a problem at the beginning and it was wrongly indicated in ONE page of the site that the round started on 15th August but all other pages stated it would start on 15th July and I clarified that here on the game blog.
Anyway, we're not trying to blame who played slowest, that's not the point. We just want both teams to be able to play under the 1 day turn timer from now on, except when they cannot for IRL reasons. So please post here if you have periods when you cannot play (like Skuns just did) but otherwise, please put back the 1 day turn timer. If one player cannot play his turn but has not said so here, please post to ask him what's up. Without answer, just keep the turn timer and skip his turn... We cannot wait for ever, otherwise the tournament will never end and everyone will drop because they will be tired of waiting.

If you are uncomfortable with something, please send a PM to the judges (including me) and we can discuss it.

Sorry what do you mean by harassment DM?

@all: no need to go on fire. I'm on a train, I'll post later when I'm home

Unfounded accusations
If you were as fast as taking your turns as making wild accusations Skuns and your partner xlnt who has been awfully slow since the game started.

Yes granted there was a delay when the game started, that was based off the website initially stating it was an august 15th start. Thats not my fault.

Frankly besides the last turn (i was notified september 7th but could not take my turn until i got back from greece closer to the 18th) i have been very fast on my turns and have had to wait over a week for you and XLNT to take turns.

Don't go throwing stones in glass houses and making accusations when you and your partner have been just as bad if not worse since we have started the game.

And I don't appreciate all the harassment DM's you have been sending me. If I were american I would have already filed a harassment suit.

To Hiliadan
Hi. We really slow play this session. But the greatest time delays have been associated with the game of the opposing team. Especially with Boze's playing. He didn't respond for a month from the torney's start without apologies or explanations of his reasons. Lately, when we started, he added me to his friends at Steam and I can see that sometimes he doesn't appear for 2-3 days (at Steam, not only in AoW3). 
As for me, I don't mind to set 1-2 days turn timer. But at the start of this session I thought that we don't need it. And will this session be fair, if one of the players will often skip turns? 
Now I'm going to working trip from September 26 for about 2 weeks. And I'm sure that I can't play until I come back. So I can't turn on the turn timer in any case, sorry <smiletext6>

I know that you started late but everyone came back 20 days ago, we should be around turn 20... So do you have the turn timer on?

user
Veröffentlicht am Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0100

i agree we should get serious and speed up

as to why so slow:
- we started a lot later
- we had vacations to go to
- personally i play my turn as fast as i can - 4-5 hours after i receive it at most

user
Veröffentlicht am Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0100

Ok, that's problematic. Why is it so slow? I assume you do not have a 1 day turn timer? I think it should be put back and players who cannot play in 24 hours should say so here.
I am a bit concerned you will be very far from finishing your match before the deadline.

Hi, friends. I'm going on vacation trip at September from 11 to 25.  I will try to play my turns but maybe there will be no internet connection.

To Hiliadan
Yes, it was started. But we have a break now at 1-st turn, because xlnt is on vacation till August 25-26.

Hi there! embahr, do you have any way to reach Boze? This game needs to start now...
Anyone has his Steam account? I'll try to send him PM, email, Steam messages...

Veröffentlicht am Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0100

To Hiliadan
Yes, this session is not started until now. Boze doesn't show up yet. It seems this situation will not be solved until at least August 15. But I think I can't play for some period of time from today. And xlnt will be on his vacation until August 25. So it is impossible to start earlier that date.

You have still 2.5 months to finish but ok if you need it, I think we can extand 1-2 weeks.

Can we please agree to add 1-2 weeks to this match if it doesn't end in the expected time?

Veröffentlicht am Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0100

Boze is out of town for a few days, not sure if he has his laptop with him. I think he's back Monday? I'll shoot him a text and figure it out.
