[XCAFS23] Round1 part1: P1 FrozenStorm [Anarchy]/Growth/Strength vs P2 rathyAro [Finesse]/Peace/Truth

Codex Codex play-by-forum

Glad to have you back @rathyAro ! GL HF

How are we doing this “select your hands” thing @zango ? Are we declaring at the top of the thread here, is it for the whole tourney, or are we keeping it secret?

EDIT I rolled basically what I wanted for an opening split anyway I think :slight_smile:

Fun idea for a tourney, we’ll see if we can get it goin!

2

Choose on the spot, for each single game separately and keep it secret. The spectators will see your choice, the opponent is only allowed to have a peek at your chosen starting split after the game has finished.

I don’t see this in your turn summary, is this a remnant of a previous idea?

are you even talking about the same game?

Yeah I’m thoroughly confused. I see a tower in the building summary, yet I don’t see anywhere it was paid for. I’m happy to play on as if it isn’t there and my Dog is gone, but just wanted to double check the turn summary was the correct thing. If there was a tower and not the Midband + Wither, I might be doing very different things with my turn :wink:

Ok I’m proceeding as if my Dog is gone and the tower isn’t there @rathyAro , what I’m doing probably isn’t a surprise but I will be slightly peeved if we change back to the tower with the benefit of information of my draw :wink:

This seems fine, setting up nicely, going for 2x BA and some float, next turn I can lay down GPT and Brogre and be sitting pretty for Turn 5 Ancient + Arg and some bird attacks, transition that into MoLaC or Elm or Sharks

I think breaking the tech2 is worth here, likely to sink the engine before it starts with that fat of a reshuffle, meanwhile I’m fully online
