I am just watching the game niektory v toxtha and think the stones are realy to much - with planting trees, you can almost make never ending games

I don't think the foresters can reach far enough to the other side of the stones. Oh, and they can't get through the stones either. But the win condition is time limited anyway.

I'm only sorry that we played first, so now everybody knows the winning tactic for this setup. Though if both players race for the critical spots, then we still can see interesting games. And of course I should have raised an objection instead of using it to my advantage.

Yes, thats a very nice little trick on how to win the map nice move

Since there wasnt a single coal, iron and so on needed, not even food for the mines or anything and in order we dont just copy past toxtha can someone delete the stones?

I DID need the 2 marble mines, otherwise I would have been too late with the castles. They were already struggling with the demand, so it was almost close with the towers. If niektory had been aware of what I was up to, he could probably have secured a passage even after the castles were ready.

and in order we dont just copy past toxtha can someone delete the stones?

I don't think that would be fair with niektory. And anyway, now you all know what you have to watch for, so it isn't even necessary.

WorldSavior, I think that you're the only one who has that point of view. In my eyes that suggestion is more than absurd and not that sportmanshiplike, to say it nice. When one has much work and a lot to do with checking which maps would fit best for the tournament, including appeals by the participants resulting in having other maps, I find it unfair to say it takes too long. I don't see why we e.g. would have to know the map for round 3 even before round 1 is finished. And even if it would be an advantage for one to get to know the maps first, then one theoretically could have chosen that maps since a year and nonetheless could have presented the complete map pool at the start of the tournament, so your argument is nonsense. If you really think, something unfair or incorrect would be going on, you are free and follow point 3 of the rules and thus appeal to the final arbiter. We all know that you are the best player and that you will win the tournament whatever will be. So I don't see the need to complain about this and in that way. If any participant, who would happen to loose against another one, would think it would have been because the other player would have got to know the map (slightly) before, then that participant could also follow point 3 of the rules and appeal to the final arbiter. If you want to discuss in general the question, whether a tournament's organisator/map-chooser can be participant at the same time, you are free to open a different thread for such a general question. I for myself have no doubt that of course there's no abuse of head position in that tournament. If you want to discuss in general the question, whether the maps of a tournament should be chosen and made public before the start of a tournament, you are free to open a different thread for such a general question, which could apply for the next tournament. (Maybe it could also be a possibility to discuss whether it could be in the future an option that the participants could not only suggest maps but poll about them to determine all or a part of the maps used in the tournament)

I did not write that in defense of hessenfarmer, because he clearly doesn't need my defense, of course he could defend himself alone. I just spoke out as sign of solidarity and for signalizing that I totally disagree with your opinion.

Imagine the roles would be swept and you would work so much at the game and at organizing the tournament that you just were to busy with work and proof of maps to determine the next map that is only needed as soon as more than 10 days away - and if then a participant would complain about you by suggesting you would therefore (actively) create an unfair advantage for yourself, which, as you would know of yourself, just wouldn't be true, just wouldn't be the case - how would you feel about that?

Widelands is a game, not a war - if you want to attack, then do it your tribe against another player's tribe, but not with words against real people (especially those ones without the game wouldn't exist in its current form at all).

You may win every challenge but the developers are making and running the game and I think they deserve a little bit more respect in content and tone.
