So far we have 11 players, I am trying to get one more to make 12. Then we are off.

Let the exploration commence

 
I am calling time for Lost Cities, we have 11 players so lets start playing.

First round is to reduce the number of players down to 8. From there we can get to a quarter final, semi final and final scenarios.

For the first round each player will play two matches. Each match will consist of 3 rounds of lost cities. Scoring will be on overall score. The winner will get 3 points and the looser 0 points. The top 8 scoring players will proceed to round 2. In the event of a draw I will use the game scores to determine the winners.

The first matches are

Countzero	Vs	Dobbie77
Dobbie77	Vs	Steve
Steve	Vs	Milarky
Milarky	Vs	Johnnyb
Johnnyb	Vs	Earthquake
Earthquake	Vs		SteerpikeW
SteerpikeW	Vs	Jernau25
Jernau25	Vs	Adam8
Adam8	Vs	Enes
Enes	Vs		PaulofCthulu
PaulofCthulu	Vs	Countzero

 

I will let you all arrange the time and dates of your matches but please don’t take too long.

After each match either post your results in the forum, or mail them to me. Remember each match is to be made up of a best of three game and I need the total scores of the game.

Any questions or queries please let me know.

Good Luck, and may the best explorer win.

First match played, myself against Dobbie77.

It was a hard match and after 3 rounds I won the game. Mainly down to Dobbie having a  poor starting hand on the last round.

Final score  : Countzero -- 85   Dobbie77 -- 46

Win to Countzero

Just to let those who are playing against me know, my login name on BSW is Jernau not Jernau25 - sorry for the confusion.

Countzero-

is it possible to get everyones email addresses to organise times/dates ? I find the IGUK private message system a little inscrutable (there appears to be an 'Inbox' as well as "private posts" on the forum ?).

For those drawn against me (Earthquake and Jernau) - I can be located at url_of_wallingford@yahoo.co.uk

We don't stop playing games when we get old...... We get old when we stop playing games.

I havn't got everyone's email address, and im not sure everyone would want there email address's posted in the forum.

But, if anyone wants to use this post to post there email / msn / skype details then go for it. The sooner we get the games going the better.

Jonobe 53, Milarky 11

Jonobe 24, Milarky 19

Jonobe 24, Milarky 48

Totals:

Jonobe 101, Milarky 78

Result of Steerpike vs Earthquake...

Sorry, didn't record the results of the individual games, but final score was:

Steerpike 76 - Earthquake 87

2 -1 in games to EQ, but Steerpike came back strong in the third. A close thing...

Earthquake vs Jonobe - 10pm Sunday night

Nothing in it after first game, then Jonobe gets a storming hand - Earthquake comes back strong in the last round, but Jonobe manages a reasonable score and wins it.

Scores for each round:

Earthquake 11, Jonobe 14

Earthquake 16, Jonobe 92

Earthquake 70, Jonobe 53

Totals:

Earthquake 97, Jonobe 159

 

 

Results of SteerpikeW versus Jernau25 played on Tuesday 9th at 21:30

Round 1 - Steerpike 77 Jernau 22

Round 2 - Steerpike 44 jernau 15

Round 3 - Steerpike 111 Jernau 28

TOTALS - Steerpike 232 Jernau 65

 

I know it sounds like the results of the cricket, but I have to say I can't remember the last time I was dealt such peachy hands three times in a row. The gods were indeed smiling on me (oops, wrong game).

Most unfair on Jernau.

Thanks for the game !

Adam,

   Can you give me an idea when you might be on BSW - just need to play you now after my complete tonking at the hands of Steerpike!

Come on guys, get your matches played. We have been running for 2 weeks now and need 5 matches played to finish the first round.
