Vocelli Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 The WILD CARD GAME is something new this season. We have 30 Games so I made 30 slips of paper and put them in a bowl. I made 4 slips that read 'Wild Card'. If the 'Wild Card" slip is chosen the I will PM each player and ask what game (from the remaining games) would they like to play. Each player will NOT know what the other player picked. If there is NOT a match then I will PM them again. They each select another game from the remaining games. Taking into consideration what each player picked the first time (and maybe several other times).... the first game that comes up a match from ALL the chosen games will be the game they play. (Of note... If I receive 2 matches on the same PM, the First Person who PMs back a match will be the game selected) There is strategy involved... Will you choose a game you are good at? Or pick a game that your opponent sucks at? This is NEW this season and we will see how it goes. If it goes well... All future Medal Bracket Tourneys will work this way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vocelli Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 Everything should be set. Kermit gets the honors of randomly picking a game for my match-up vs ZilchSr. Kermit... Once you pick the game, please post it here in this thread on Wednesday so I can randomly pick the rest of the games. Thanks!

I am at least at excited about you pulling dishaster out of the hat for me. Question: What happens in these medal rounds if both players hit rollage? Not sure if 300k will be as easy with 10 plates, but I am curious as to how a "tie" is handled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kermit73 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Dishaster: 17120 There is definitely more challenge to this game keeping 10 plates going and there is less thumb cramping because the game doesn't last as long. With all that said, I'm still not a fan. I will be playing more tonight and tomorrow. I will post an update tomorrow if my score improves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbag Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Gbag earned the rank of captain in Star Voyager...how is it going Jason...this game is tough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kermit73 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Dishaster: 27090 The good news: I've improved my score and am pretty consistently doing better than the score I posted yesterday. The bad news: I'm still less than 10% the way to rollage, meaning that I have to keep playing this game and have that out-of-tune circus jingle stuck in my head all week. I'm on a road trip, so I'm not sure when I'll be able to play again or post an improved score between now and August 8th. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am struggling to find time to play at the moment, but should be able to have a decent run Wednesday. I haven't got past three chevrons in my brief goes so far. Given that I only got to four chevrons in the main run, I think that captain will probably be more than enough for you to win. I will however be doing all I can to better my score and change that ?

toiletunes Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 186,220 Now, it's just a matter of finding the time and having the patience. Waiting for the coconuts to fall in the right pattern before moving, stuff like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariSphinx Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Congo Bongo (1 B/B): 198,280 Went to Congo Bongo hunting school over the weekend and getting more consistent. When playing this earlier in the season did not like it much but now appreciating its' mechanics. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
