speechless. [:D]

I would elect Dan as the worst WITP player ever.
because:
He left us hanging after the earliest counter invasion in RL or WITP. MAN< I WANTED TO KNOW IF HE COULD PULL IT OFF!!!!!!

[:D][:D][:D]

all hail the gentleman from Ga.[&o][&o]
brass balls and cannon balls.

**seriously, I have friends that have become alcoholics, left their wives for tattooed one night stands, and
utterly embarrassed themselves in public since I've been playing. But I am free of guilt, happy as a clam, and
having fun.(and I've just been AV'd). Stay the course![sm=duel.gif]


...I was gonna WHOOP his lovely Southern buttocks...

I ought to set the record straight! Zulu is referring to my game with John III that ended around Sept. 10, 2013. It wasn't I that actually pulled the plug on that game, but rather John III! However, in the interest of the "whole truth," I had seriously floated the idea of calling the game for a variety of reasons, including some real life matters and a massive case of AE burnout. I had requested a ceasefire and it's all but certain that I would have soon resigned, but John called the game before I could make that formal. :)

As to the topic of this thread, so many good players have suffered so many public, highly embarrassing defeats. Especially Allied players. Anybody remember raverdave?

On my own score, I had John sink most of the Allied Death Star on the south edge of the map in one of my first games, perhaps ten years ago. I had managed the run the Death Star out of fuel somewhere in the middle of nowhere. It was making two hexes per turn.

I suck!



...then I LOOK farther down the thread and see this Posting...

That was a GLORIOUS moment way down south!

Would have really loved to see how that invasion of Sumatra would have played out. Dan is correct. He was facing serious burnout and is a GREAT player and Gentleman. Really miss playing him but he is in a better place chasing the Civil War and Southern dreams...check out his fabulous periodical. I do believe it is Georgia Backroads.




geofflambert -> RE: The worst player in WITP history (10/20/2015 3:39:27 AM)

As a consolation to any who might benefit, I am the worst player ever who is or was a gorn. I am also the best one ever (who is or was a gorn).




Admiral DadMan -> RE: The worst player in WITP history (10/20/2015 3:46:04 AM)

Because, well, ya know... Gorn...




Zeta16 -> RE: The worst player in WITP history (10/20/2015 6:27:31 PM)

I remember when you took most of the South Pacific from me and even invaded New Zealand a few years ago in our game. So not has bad as you think.




nardiajn -> RE: The worst player in WITP history (10/21/2015 4:25:06 PM)

Well I have yet to win a game against a human player.... maybe I should play a gorn.
while it totally stinks getting beat like a screen door during a hurricane, I still enjoy it..
that is until I have no fleet left...:)
maybe we should have a 'losers' bracket that will force someone to win..lol

That works for me.[:D] I gotta lose a few first, but that should be easy enough.[:'(]




rroberson -> RE: The worst player in WITP history (10/22/2015 2:54:02 AM)

LOL...I was sitting there watching dauntlesses pound my carriers and thinking ...well at least my air groups are up and getting revenge...only half of them were just sitting on the deck.

[:D]

I'm dumb enough of course to want to play you again :P




Big B -> RE: The worst player in WITP history (10/23/2015 4:19:03 PM)

There are so many variables as to what can make a PBEM game go bad early: die rolls, mismatch of player capabilities, experience, and tactics. But typically a PBEM game either sees Japan overrun China, Burma, India, the DEI & PI, the Eastern Pacific, and land in Australia by April 1942... OR - loose the KB in a heartbeat (show's over very early).... that is why MOST games never see 1943.

The broadest reason most of this happens is that the Allies (in China, Malaya, & the DEI) start pre-defeated (generally very weak). This was originally done so the AI could make the historical time table of conquest in the first 6 months. That works well enough when playing the AI - but - give that situation to a GOOD player and the result is a game that can go out of balance - fast.

I suppose that is why so many PBEM Players want "house rules".... but that is also why there are mods,
