Warrior General Games

I agree that it sucks, but it sucks for everyone (like you said).

Those 6 plays you show include 3 timeouts and an incomplete pass.
Your one play in the first quarter is after you used all your timeouts.


2:00 1st & 10 OPP 32.5 C Dub pass to Montgomery Brogan up the right side (15.5 yd gain) [diving tackle: Blanket Coverage] Replay timeout 1
1:57 1st & 10 OPP 17 C Dub pass to Bo Bacon over the middle (7 yd gain) [tackle: Paul Abfang] Replay timeout 2
1:55 2nd & 3 OPP 10 Big Rod rush to the right (3.5 yd gain) [tackle: Napo Leon Tearaparte] Replay timeout 3
1:52 1st & G OPP 6.5 C Dub pass to Quicksilver Supersnatcher up the left side [deflected by Blanket Coverage] (incomplete) Replay incomplete-minimal time lost

We were in the same score-as-quick-as-we-can mode that you were in.
However, after we used our timeouts, it took us just as long as it took you.

36 seconds for us between plays:
1:49 2nd & G OPP 6.5 C Dub pass to Big Rod over the middle (1 yd loss) [tackle: Cole Pigget] Replay
1:13 3rd & G OPP 7 C Dub pass to Bo Bacon up the left side, PAT made by Steve Berlin [TD] (7 yd gain)

Your first half timeouts were:
2:00 1st & 10 OWN 49.5 Thor Jarlsson pass to Jay Backer up the right side (10.5 yd gain) [tackle: Zack Attack54] Replay timeout 1
1:57 1st & 10 OPP 39.5 Thor Jarlsson pass to Luis Oscar Kirschenfaenger up the right side (incomplete) Replay
1:55 2nd & 10 OPP 39.5 Duncan Idaho rush to the right (4 yd gain) [tackle: Chumpy Fistmaster] Replay timeout 2
1:53 3rd & 6 OPP 35.5 Thor Jarlsson pass to Argyle McCullough over the middle (8 yd gain) [tackle: Hawk Carrillo] Replay timeout 3
1:51 1st & 10 OPP 27.5 Duncan Idaho rush to the left (9 yd gain) [tackle: Steve Latch]

gg though. It feels good to finally squeak out a close win.

Thanks ZZ.

We certainly needed it more than you did. You guys will be there in the playoffs. As for us... well, we've still got a lot of work to do.

Good luck the rest of the season.

WTF? There are timeouts? I never knew this.

yep. there have always been timeouts, for as long as i can remember playing this game.

You are probably right about where we used our timeouts, although it is arguable if the first one makes sense. I did not mean to diminish your win either, you guys hung in there and pulled it out in the end.

Maybe we should start a petition to Bort that timeouts are mentioned in the PBP, would help avoiding confusion.

That'd probably be a good suggestion. I always find myself counting them at the end of the half because I'm sure we got cheated. Bort's timeout logic makes sense, but it's too basic. Basically it checks:

1. Have the ball?
2. Losing?
3. Less than 2 minutes?
4. Clock running?

Timeout = Yes

I think showing timeouts in the PBP like you said would be awesome. I also think a Timeout AI would rock, but there are more important things to code than a Timeout AI right now. I'm afraid to suggest it, for fear Bort would put those more important things on hold, lol.

Well, what I am thinking off should be not too hard to implement, basically a setting for the offense "timeoute remaining". That way if no timeouts remain I can kick the FG with 40 seconds to go, if there are some left I can run another pass play.
