[Complete] The Grand Tag! 2v2 Tournament - 3rd Edition!

[The Black Sword]

TGT Grand Finals Game 2:
Xanthe Chaos - tekelili(P1|Loyals) & The_Black_Sword(P4|Loyals) vs peace(P2|Drakes) & nani(P4|Dwarves)

Spoiler:

Much shorter game this time, we got double loyalists which allowed for a strong p1 vill grab where the ulf trick couldn't work but also no good counter chances on the p4 swamp village. Tek settled in to defend the swamp vill with some good fishes over the night but a mistake in our positioning meant we traded the 2 fishes for the ulf and lost the vill anyway. Meanwhile the Drakes were pulling good night tricks too, we traded cav for glider first and then he happily munched on my spear for the night and was sitting on the 2 vills for dawn. Here though the Drakes decided to hold the vills and seeing little options of attacking the dwarves, tek switched almost his entire army over to the left doubleteaming the Drakes at day.
Not much can stand up to such pressure but the tentacles attempted a valiant ctk on my white mage leader to keep them in the game. After this failed though it was a clear gg setting us up for a nerve-biting finale;

Almost exactly like this except the frail dude survived

Well played by Nerds while we did a mistake trying to defend the day.

Am i the only one getting OOS on turn 2 of the replay? (dwarvish leader has 4mp instead of 5)

I downloaded this one from replay archives server and works for me.

[alpha1]

hmmm still getting the same error... but it's ok, as long as it works for others.

[Dunno]

nani, can you make a new post when the time is set? I don't want to miss this game and I might not notice an edit

[alpha1]

The game is being continued NOW

the game goes and goes and goes
for how long?
no one knows...

2 daunt: u so slow padawan, so slow

What is that? The game has reached its 20th turn and it is not over yet? Doom is pleased, very pleased! At last my supreme motivational speach started to show its effects!
Alas not everything is well in Kingdom of Latveria! There are rumors going around, rumors about some longer hiatus before the game can be continued... Needless to say, these rumors displease me, for they are nothing but signs of foreign powers trying to undermine the well-being of peace loving latverian people! It is because of that that i request players to accomplish 3 deeds as sign of their loyalty:

1. Contemplate upon this motivational picture:

Spoiler:

2. Post the replay of the game so far, in order to ensure that all law-obeying citizens, who were busy fulfilling their duties elsewhere, can still enjoy it.

3. Unless overpowered by overwhelming enemy forces or some other critical circumstances, post time and date of your next game-session beforehand.

These are my final wishes for now! For i shall soon depart in direction unknown to further some of my r/l schemes in lands unseen... While im away, my (al)most competent minions, Dauntless and Faello, will maintain law and order, obey them as you would obey me, but never forget where your loyalties lie! :<

Huh, 18 hours for 20 turns? Is this a play-by-email game?

[The Black Sword]

In an attempt to quell the displeasure of the non-lazy admin ( ) the replay is here: http://replays.wesnoth.org/1.8/20111117 ... (10267).gz.

We weren't crazy enough to play overnight, the games has taken roughly 5 hours so far.

i was too sleepy to write a motivational post when the game was finished, so it was the first thing i did the next day

@TBS: alas the server-replay is corrupted because of the reload... could you post a replay made from your own save? (perhaps i will try to fix the replay with obs-chat later, if there will be people interested in it)
yeah... non-lazy admins are rare creatures... to say the least

[Dunno]

I knew this would happen. Real life can be a real pain in the neck if you're a fan of something

[Dauntless]

It seems that what we dreaded became true, and all faithful Wesnothians will have to wait to see the new Team to sit on the TGT Throne.

As sad as that is, I hope that all will remain faithful and will await the new TGT Kings.

[tekelili]

I would like have finished final game already, because a part of me is willing TGT4 start as soon as possible and that would increase chances

But I think this final game has quite emotion and a is a nice end for TGT3. Deserve waiting a little for it, imo

[The Black Sword]

Ok, current save is attached.

There is also a high probability that the game will continue tomorrow at 1800GMT, just awaiting confirmation peace is available.
I hope that is satisfactory.
