Reminder: deadline tonight. It's likely to be after midnight, so there's still some hours left.

To be played
jose_enrique (3) vs chris (4)

I was thinking of heading to bed until I realised that I still had this to do. Read between the lines...

So, here are Week 17's results:

punkpoet (1) 9-36 w_hoolahan (2)
w_hoolahan is promoted to Level 1, punkpoet is relegated to Level 2

beenjammin (2) 35-28 cymmerboy (3)
beenjammin stays at Step 2, cymmerboy stays at Step 3

jose_enrique (3) vs chris (4)
Not played

clooneman (4) 35-29 _merkovo_ (5)
clooneman stays at Step 4, _merkovo_ stays at Step 5

And w_hoolahan becomes the fourth player to grace the top of the ladder, ousting punkpoet in the process and continuing a curious statistic in games between those two in that the lower player always wins.

Provisional ladder for Week 18:

Level 1: w_hoolahan
Level 2: beenjammin, punkpoet
Level 3: cymmerboy, jose_enrique*
Level 4: clooneman, chris*
Level 5: _merkovo_
New player: furies_kirk

Regarding jose_enrique (3) vs chris (4), no explanation offered or anything, so I have no choice but to implement the rule on page 12, which brings me up to Level 3 and _merkovo_ to Rung 4.

Revised ladder for Week 18:

Level 1: w_hoolahan
Level 2: beenjammin, punkpoet
Level 3: clooneman, cymmerboy
Level 4: _merkovo_, jose_enrique*
Level 5: furies_kirk, chris*

Them's the rules. So, welcome to furies_kirk who I believe is the 25th player to join the ladder, and here are the fixtures for Week 18:

w_hoolahan (1) vs beenjammin (2)
Previous meetings
Week 3: w_hoolahan (5) 22-35 beenjammin (6)

w_hoolahan - 3 - 35 beenjammin

beenjammin got a run of 35. gg very well played.

thanks, gg ul

35-(-3), wow, there must have been a few fouls! Tactical play at the start? Nice going with the run of 35 though!

And w_hoolahan becomes the fourth player to grace the top of the ladder, ousting punkpoet in the process and continuing a curious statistic in games between those two in that the lower player always wins.


I never noticed that clooneman I love your love for statistics :).
beenjammin well done pal, but I'm coming for you

You gotta get past me first! When is good?

New player for next week: ritcho

yes, tactical play, I was -2 myself before getting the run. was left still needing 2 more points, he won that safety battle with a ns, but it scratched. then i got my 2 more points

Must of caught him on a good day.
The trick is to catch him on a bad day lol.

well, we did make contact, i replied to chris saying i could play last night, no reply recieved.... but ok

have sent message, away till sunday night may not be on till monday though, have told him that

As your opponent has gone, we could play?

Based on what furies_kirk has posted, it doesn't look like he'll be back... So if you guys play before the deadline (and kirk doesn't reappear to look for the game), that's fine by me

A composite result from two games after the server went down:

punkpoet 35-31 clooneman

After the server threw everyone out, we agreed to call it 21-9 to punkpoet, setting targets of 14 for him and 26 for me in the rematch. This happened with the scores at 14-22, so that was that

Results so far
w_hoolahan (1) (-3)-35 beenjammin (2)
punkpoet (2) 35-31 clooneman (3)

To be played
cymmerboy (3) vs _merkovo_ (4)
jose_enrique (4) vs furies_kirk (5)
chris (5) BYE

Due to the absence of furies_kirk which looks like it might be permanent, then if jose_enrique vs chris goes ahead by the deadline instead, that will count The deadline is Wednesday.

havent had reply yet

jose_enrique 21 - 41 chris

Need new players?

New players are always allowed :)

I will re join this if there is space
