Two slight rule changes for round 5.
Ties for fastest game will now be broken by score. So there will only be 4 points given out for fastest game, regardless of the number of games with equal time.

Ties for high score will also be limited to the 4 points. These will be broken by game speed. In the event of double ties (equal speed and score) points will be given, regardless of number. (These rules are not yet official and may be omitted from the round. It has had discussion but no closure. If there is no objection than these rules will apply for this round.)

We will use the Round 5 thread for our discussions, plus the submission's. Looking back through one thread is far easier than looking back through many threads and posts.

For any discussions on rules please post in the MVL Rulebook thread.

Also there is a discussion about our inclusion into the AltMeta here, The MVL and the AltMeta. Please watch this thread for more discussion soon.

I am really looking forward to this challenge and to the rounds ahead. Good luck to everyone and a big welcome to our new players, i hope you enjoy the league. As always i hope you enjoy your games and i hope you all have safe and happy holidays.

Hey, neilo, you missed me. Can I still get my character Peril in on this round?

Successfully updated karma reason!

Holy crap!!! Sorry mate. Yes you are in for sure. My apologies...and i had you written down and everything.....

Will fix that right now.

Not to cause a problem, but Team D already has five players. You missed the Butterfly. I do believe Noticulus will not be here this round though. If you don't see this in time I will chat later.

Fixed up mate...i'm really sorry about that...i will submit myself for 40 lashes...

A slight rule change for round 5, ties for fastest game will now be broken by score. So there will only be 4 points given out for fastest game, regardless of the number of games with equal time. (This rule is not yet official and may be omitted from the round. It has had discussion but no closure.)

This is probably fine to go with without much discussion or closure on the basis of let's try it and see but I do think we'll need to revisit this issue again.

One point that people neglect is that score ties can occur as well and need to be anticipated. If we're using score to break game speed ties then we should also use game speed to break score ties if one should ever occur.

Of course we still need a policy in the case of the rare but still possible score and speed tie. I would suggest that in this rare case we leave these double ties unbroken. After all, we certainly won't have 7 of these.

Neilo please update the OP to reflect these additions.

As far as updating the Rulebook, I may as well hold off until we do have more discussion and this ever elusive closure.

Good point Mumble and it makes perfect sense to break score ties with game speed. Will update now.

Been anxiously awaiting the start of this round

A team, time to get busy.

Thanks neilo, all is forgiven. We'll just have to stomp your team now, that's all.

YAY! round three begins! the Domination is ready to send you to your graves once more!

May the best team win! (pfft... whatever)

Successfully updated karma reason!

Please, I see taunts already. Can we have 1 round without the child like taunting behaviour?

Successfully updated karma reason!

Aw, c'mon PlayJeff - be like Luke Skywalker and get your taunton!

Sorry everyone... I mean, it was right there, how could I not...

Why? you have Tom Cruise on your team for a mission impossible?

Darn it! See what you made me do. Taunt. All that political correctness crap I was trying and stupid sensitivity training paid off for what? A whopping 15 min? Let the games begin

I think I've ironed a few kinks out of my suicidal strategy. I'll be returning this round with SUICIDAL scores. My latest suicidal game brought me a option for alliance victory and also a 10-turn race against influence. Them AI never stood a chance.

You'd be surprised to see what we've got.
