Czech, I missed your message requesting in. I'll bail out the 5 tourney if you would like to join that one, or we can let 2WL drop to 5 tourney, he can take my place, and you can take his in the 39 tourney. Sorry I missed your message....

Okay, so players should be joining now. I have sent out a PM with game numbers and passwords (5 group, note the error and correction PM on one game number).
Rules are anon, WTA, 36hr, seven games playing as each nation once. I did drop from the 5 tourney to let Czech in. I am about to email the mods the nation lists for the 5 group, Yonni will be doing the same for the 39 group.

Final groups are as follows:

dubmdell 39 invitational
1. dubmdell
2. Frank
3. Sargmacher
4. Tasnica
5. xorxes
6. Trooth
7. 2ndWhiteLine

dubmdell 5 invitational
1. The Czech
2. SpeakerToAliens
3. Yonni
4. jcbryan97
5. Gobbledydook
6. Lando Calrissian
7. JesusPetry

Please pause games until mods can swap nation ownership around.

Love the line-up. Thanks for organizing this dubmdell.

Really looking forward to this thanks.
In future, dumbbell, you can make the phases 10days and the mods can change it when they switch people. That avoids the awkward getting people to pause bit.

Also, could we get think links to the other games. I need them to get the shuffle.

39 tourney links:

gameID=92406

gameID=92400

gameID=92405

gameID=92399

gameID=92403

gameID=92402

gameID=92401

oh shit I'm playing Lando? and Czech? I'm mince meat for sure

Yeah, my silver tongue is going to be super useful in gunboat. ;)

Looks like 39p Game 3 has already started without me... >_>

So I take it these games aren't set up so each player plays each country once?

I will send the request to the mods now. I made a chart of the shuffle yesterday but didn't get a chance to send it.
However if Tas isn't in the right games, it won't work.
I'll send the request anyways and hopefully we can work things out in time.

Looks like the players in at least one game doesn't match the list that dumbdell posted. How would you like to get this sorted out? Cancel and recreate?

Ok, looks like there may just be one game affected. I can force CD that player out of that game 92401, so Tasnica can get in. Then, I'll shuffle the games.

Please let me know if there are any other issues with the player list in any of the 39 games.

@ gobble. I'm more scared of jcbryan. in the first round of the winter gunboat he won all 3 games in our group. solos.

Alright, I have force CDed the player that had accidentally joined gameID=92401
Tasnica, you can take over that spot to get into that game.

This is probably the simplest and quickest way to get this game started back up, but it does slightly affect the point bets and pot sizes. If everyone is ok with that, you can just proceed as is. If not, please cancel the game and recreate. I'll let you guys figure out what you want to do.

Again, please speak up if you aren't already in a game that you should be in. I'll check again once I do the shuffle, but it's just much easier to get this resolved now.

Thanks for your help, yebellz.

So mods can force CD but not force join? Interesting... I'll throw up my cancel vote and let everyone else decide what they want to do.

No reason to cancel, I don't think.

^^ me not Vaft, sorry again.

You're in the unaffected group, Lando.

Something about Czech points muddling up the pot, or something.

But still, the yebells CDed the guy right? So if Tasnica joins you can just proceed as normal with the pause, right?

Ahhhh, jealous here - looking forward to the next time this type of tourney comes around...

Tas might not log on until 4am. Seems to be his most consistent log on time. Anyway, if he doesn't get on until 4am, I think the phase will progress, meriting a cancel. We shall see though.

Maybe the mods can pause the game for you/us?

Ok, the 5 game series is all set: phases reset, countries shuffled, and paused.

Still waiting on the 39 game 3 to fill up with Tasnica. However, at this point, I would recommend just cancelling and remaking.

So we can put in orders and unpause, right?

Awesome. Thanks Yebellz.
