....it was just a joke :(

like second place in a boxing match. hehe?

Can I resign from the tournament? I feel like I'd rather resign than not qualify lol

I had a good time with this tourney. Thanks to trip for organizing. In some ways it was a relief not to have to chat with anyone. I would definitely be up for another tourney (can't imagine that I will advance in this one). Maybe I can get a better draw than Turkey, Turkey, Italy.

Bump!

YW, TrustMe. 5 games per round, with a rule that players could only draw one multiple, would be a better set up. Opinions on that are welcome.

I was about to say here for Troodonte to post when he's back, so I could get figle to unpause...

make that 4 with no multilples. 5 with one adds a game for no reason.

Group B, Game 2
Aut (final warning)

Group B Game 3
Eng (final warning)

I'm back and games are unpaused.

Trip, my guess is the people (person?) slowing down the games in B won't be progressing. We all appreciate your efforts, but I really think they'll be shed by the next round, you shouldn't wasting your time. If we made it 36 hours, (which I really appreciate, which I probably would NMR if it was 24) then I think we just have to deal. Don't strain yourself!!

Man, this has been a humbling experience. Ya damn bastards in group D are tough customers. I guess I'd better sign up for the JV league next time.

*News Flash*

TheGhostmaker has been kind enough to give me some room on his site. I'm still working out the details with him, but eventually, all the info for this and future tourneys will be posted there:

Constructive criticism and/or thoughts are welcome

I don't agree with changing a scoring system after the tournament beggins. Maybe after this round is over, but I don't think it should be applied to the current round...

OK, so your changing the rules, not in the middle of the game, but retroactively. I'm glad I'm not in this tournament as I would just say "screw you guys, I'm going home." You can't do that to the people who have already played a certain way to get a desired outcome. You just invalidated the whole round.

the current scoring system will not be changed for this tournament.

the above would be for future tourneys

OK... much better then ;)

Glad to hear it Trip. I may not be playing, but fair play means knowing the rules in advance.

i figured that leading in with "Been messing around...", would make it clear that i wasn't up and changing the scoring system.

no shit, drag.

Group D game 2 is finished
3 way draw:
France - Lando Calrissian (12sc's)
Austria - JesusPetry (12sc's )
Italy - Troodonte (10sc's )

For the last moves Jesus, but 1 sc can make a difference in the end :)

We have a great game finished in group D. But what was that thing at the end, Troodonte? :-)

I mean: "Sorry for the last moves..."

By the way.
Great alliance with Jesus ;)
Great fight for Iberia with Lando

Very nice draw :D

Yes, I'd say it's the best game-long alliance I've ever had, except for the last year. :-)
Lando was also very smart to stop us going for a 2-way.

Hum...I'm not sure I would risk going for a 2way in a gunboat :D
