Congrats Yigg! Well deserved.

Good job Goldie on putting on such a large and labor intensive tournament.

Thank you, everyone! I had an absolute blast playing this tournament! It was a long haul, to be sure. But totally worth it. I've rubbed elbows with some of the finest players here, and made a dearly true friend along the way. I wouldn't trade this tournament for anything.

Goldie, you're all aces in my book for putting up with webDiplomacy's shenanigans for so long! Thank you for your tireless effort in running a smashing campaign. Cheers, friend!

Congratulation to Yigg for the well deserved winning!
And a big thanks to Gold for the organizing! It could be a lot of time for You. By the way, when are you going to start the 2021 one? :))
And thanks to all of You, who played serious, even when there was no more chance for winning. It was good to see, that there was only one civil disorder in the last two rounds, I've thought it will even more than previous.

I had a GSheet for the games, if anybody is interested in statistics I share it
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing
I was thinking to share it along the tournament, but I was hoping I will get some advantage from it, which hasn't happened. :) Only I could knew more or less who plays in the last games.

Thank you for running this for all of us, gold!

Sorry to anyone who didn't play me since apparently I give up points like I'm on commission or something...

And that's a wrap everyone! Thank you to those who participated, and those who followed along the ride. It was quite a long one - as all of the iterations have been - but thanks to everyone's cooperation and good spirits, I have to say it is the most successful one I've run to date. It was a pleasure watching the games unfold, and I hope you enjoyed playing as much as I enjoyed watching.

Congratulations to Yigg, our winner! An impressive slate of games, getting or sharing the top board in the majority of their tournament run.

I would also like to give a special shout-out to kissemo, our runner-up. Had the final games of the tournament gone a different way, they might've been the ones claiming #1.

There were great games here, and many of those farther down the leaderboard put in exceptional play, even if those results didn't end up translating into solos!

I had fun, and look forward to the next tournament with you all.

Last game just drew! Thanks for running this Gold

One is left running, yes. I will do a final score and announcement when it wraps up

Re: Announcing the 2020 Masters Tournament

Just one game left now I think, right?

Re: Announcing the 2020 Masters Tournament

Thanks the score list Gold!
I hope Yigg at least worried a little bit that I'm Turkey in the R7G1 game. :))

Calculating the tiebreak is not very difficult, it is clear that Yigg is in better position. But if I see it right, still two other players can win, it is still exciting.

Wusti, considering your record at press games, I think it might make sense to take a look at your messages' tone and content and consider how they might contribute to your poor results.
Haha no doubt, no doubt.

It is a game that inspires mixed emotions. On the one hand, it was one of those painful mistakes that sticks in the mind for some time. On the other, you did get to slam Wusti's nuts in a draw...

...on balance, it may well have been worth it ;)
An astute analysis - savour that +1 Octavious ;)

It really was just a mistake. I was hoping that France would stop playing a gunboat once he got to the line so we could eliminate wusti but I really fucked up before that could happen.

Thanks for taking over and sorry for ruining a well earned draw. Was a pleasure playing with you.

After subbing in for Italy and playing alongside everything that was happening, I'm not sure exactly what happened there. On the one hand, it was no secret that Austria and Russia did not get along, and I would not be surprised if Austrias mistake was not a mistake at all. On the other hand, Austria did have several lapses in tactical skill throughout the game, so a mistake like this is also well within the scope of being an honest mistake.

Either way, it sucked for me to lose that game when it clearly should have been a draw.

Are you giving out awards for dumbest end to a game? I'm gutted by how dumb I am.

Especially because I was so ready to write out a scathing rebuke of Russia's play. I don't think I can show my face on this site for a while after this one. My god.
Words cannot express just how terrible an experience that game was. Scathing rebuke doesn't come close Yonni.

Seriously, playing that game with you was like slamming my nuts in a draw.

(My apologies to the late Sean Smith for borrowing your words to me in a diplomatic exchange in the game EVE Online, but nothing else was appropriate.)

Hi everyone,

It looks like we will need one sub to finish out the tournament. Please PM me if you are interested.
