My bad! Group 3 Game 2

[croat_ante]

congrats on the win AtreidesHouse! the scores have all been updated at this time...

I'd also like to do a quick shout out to all the winners pointwise and scorewise so far!

Group #1
In this group, PejiGrim and killmanic have both come away with wins and highest point totals in their respective games won. The 2nd game is nearing completion and PejiGrim can grab a second key victory if he can hold off graulenst's onslaught. As of now killmanic sits comfortably in the lead.

Group #2
In this quick group, herndawg, banana_hammocks and I have all won a game each with shaunchef having the most points in the game I won. As of now, herndawg sits in the lead with banana_hammocks right on their tail with only 1 point separating the two.

Group #3
In the fastest group so far, the game winners were:
westsidekilla6 (with AJunpai claiming most points)
AtreidesHouse winner and most points
wmlawman (with Dunk90 getting most points)
topper winner and most points
Overall, topper is comfortably in the lead but with 4 games left, much is left to be played for.

Group #4
This group may have completed the least amount of games, but lets hope that turns around. Congrats goes to banchie1586 for winning the sole game and claiming most points. That one game was the only one so far to go into all 20 rounds, but Group #1's Game #3 in the USA map might join it too. No Cards seems to be a bad choice. Of course, banchie1586 sits at the top right now.


Congrats to all winners in every respect and here's a 'Quick and Painless' second half of the 1st round!

Thanks for the updates, and...........
I like this point system a lot because; in addition to the points for taking out people in this terminator style tourney you get some points for not getting taken out soon. I really like this because in the last couple games I have just been fighting for survival and positioning and not had much luck matching cards or dice, etc. And everyone is doing pretty well making it hard on each other. But it is still possible to make yourself less of a target also. So, when I do my first tourney it will be similar I thinks! Without further words...........................

Trying to get into the next games for our group and not being allowed to because it says I'm Dunks foe? Not sure why because don't recall playing any games against him/her but as many as I've played its very possible but have no clue why he might have me listed as a foe. In order for me to join he has to remove this. Thanks for the assist here.

I will message Dunk90 and straighten this out. Thanks for the heads up AtreidesHouse

well herndawg.. when such a tournament brings itself to preparartion and sign up, just PM me and ill be on that joined list like a fly on horse dung

[XGoToChurchX]

Oh...oops....i thought i killed hern first i guess bananna got in the way !

[herndawg]

Yea, thanks for that 2nd place, here is the 5 bucks. oops, was that out loud

[croat_ante]

unfortunately we have lost IAmLycan from the tournament do to his own personal reasons.. instead of searching for a quick replacement already more than half-way through the tourny stage one.. ill reduce those games to seven and last place will pick up 1 point instead of zero for these new 7 player games for that group.. just to keep scoring consistent

[croat_ante]

im updating the standings and games now that i finally have 15 minutes to a fast and free connection

[croat_ante]

OMG... ive probably made the hugest mistake ever... it only concerns group #2 members....

after the first game, kcstuds didnt respond to my PM asking him to join the next three games.. so shaunchef was put in to replace him... but when i made the next two games.. i included kcstuds in the PM to the whole group and so he joined and kljjr was left out of both those games while shaunchef played...

now give me some time but ill discuss it with the group members and see what solution we can make...

[PejiGrim]

hey everyone,
congrats to all the qualified players
when will our next games start???
tanx

[croat_ante]

im making games tonight...

the group #2 issue still isnt fully sorted out..

im going to kingston for a few days but ill make games and updates before then

[croat_ante]

ok.. after much thought ive come to a conclusion on the matter regarding group #2...

i will officially drop out of the tournament and act solely as moderator of the tournament. This means that kcstuds, kljjr and shaunchef will all be in and i will come out.. we will also redo games 5 and 6 of group #2 to make up for kljjr not being in.. unfortunately kcstuds didnt reply after an extended period for games 2-4 and i cant go back that far to repeat it all.. so he doesnt get the points from those 3 games but he is allowed back into the tourny.

Otherwise, all the new games have been created for groups 1,2 and 4 with group 3 still working on two games

i hope everyone agrees with this decision

please PM me if you have any problems or questions

[herndawg]

keep the score running then?

[croat_ante]

if kcstuds does not join the group #2 games, i will reenter the tourny taking his place

[banchie1586]

im glad im in the slowest group EVER!!!! We need to start to get subs for these guys who only have room for one game at a time!
