Fanfnir (axis) won against Dmondragon75 , I will not mention the turn due to the little bit of selfrespect remaining...

Hey everybody, I think Noah (the person running the tourney) may still be traveling. Let's wait for him to weigh in on the game between Rannug and PLJ1973. No one is a bad guy here. And none of us can be sure about all the details on a game we weren't playing and e-mails we weren't a party to.
And let's all remember how easy it is for written messages to seem angrier or more strident than they are meant to be.

There is a potential problem in one of my tourney games.
My opponent and I exchanged turns at the rate of 1-4 per day until turn 108. Then at the same turn I took Moscow and Leningrad (I am axis). Since then 12 days passed and he hasn’t finished a single turn. The game currently being saved by him (appears in italics in my game list).
Day before yesterday (10 days after no turns from him), I send a PM to my opponent enquiring about the delay. Opponent logged in a bit later, but did not respond.

General situation in game is:
1. A western allied invasion is cornered in Brest, kept in check by much superior axis forces in France. Allies have air superiority over France, Axis has 9-10 land units close to the beachhead, Allies 4-5.
2. Moscow, Leningrad, Cairo in Axis hands, Spain is Axis. South Soviet front is 3-4 hexes close to Rostov and Voronez
3. Axis has advanced to Iraq, Rommel is in Baghdad and front vs US forces is established a few hexes from there.
4. During my last turn I checked unit counts, and if I remember correctly German land units are double or at least very close to double the Soviet land unit count. UK units must be around 20, US less than that.

Game ID is 124921. Turn number is 109 (30 October 1942)

So there is an obvious problem there. Opponent, not responding to pms, neither playing nor resigning.

I reported all my finished games post 27th October, one with Bolko and one with IrishGuards. Abovementioned game was vs Irishguards who as I explained later could not resign the game due to a known bug, but he contacted me soon after informing me of his resignation. I have 4 games finished, vs Hamburermeat, BPNisBACK, Irishguards and Bolko, and 1 active vs Jeff-Ahl.

No despair here! I have a few games going in which I'm doing well. They just aren't against tourney players. I'm learning a lot!

Perhaps we should play a game to see who gets the wooden spoon. On one condition though, I play the Allies as usual

Incidentally, I have decided to retract what I said in my previous post. It was a stupid thing I said and what I did in the game was even worse, but I'll take it on the chin and chalk it up to a (painful) learning experience.
