Jules Verne Contest [Rescued]

[chapcrap]

They should be foggy. That's how the tournament was set up anyway. If people don't like it, they shouldn't have signed up.

[djelebert]

fog as the other rounds

[Pandemonium]

I dunno - I'm fine either way...

[General Redstone]

Sunny.

[squishyg]

sunny. the whole objective thing is not fun with fog if it leads to arguments at the end of the game.

[stevkov]

fog.

[Dukasaur]

Here's some responses I've gotten by PM.

hi,

i d rather stay in fog !

cheers,

PnC

i think sunny would be better....I vote sunny

I like it foggy

I won't do a formal count until tomorrow, but so far it looks as if FOG is leading the pack by a pretty wide margin.

[magneto_acolyte]

[Mc Lor]

Foggy

[ringemaster]

Foggy!

[rjhankey]

Let's stick with the fog - it's been that way for the duration of the tournament ...

[Dukasaur]

Foggy vs. Sunny vote result:
Adding it all up I get 10 for Sunny and 19 for Foggy. Almost 2-1 is a pretty convincing display of preference. Foggy it is.

Iceland
I'm starting the games for Act II Round 1 Map 2 (Iceland). I realize a few of the freemiums may have problems with not having an empty slot, but other freemiums have reserved a slot for this purpose, and I worry that if I don't start these games now the problem will actually get worse, not better. So, if you have an empty slot please join quickly, and then we'll work with the ones that don't and see if we can get them in within a realistic time.

This is the second part of the Journey to the Centre of the Earth group. Once Professor Lidenbrock/Hardwigg gets to Iceland, he gets to the centre of the earth through the Snæfellsjökull volcano.
The bonus on the Iceland map is Snaefell. Capture it and hold it for three rounds.

Hi
I have 3 free spots.

[Dukasaur]

Well, so far so good. All but one of the Iceland games started with no drama. opposites. was the only player that couldn't accept his invite, but this is not his fault, it's because of the Nordic Nations game that was restarted.

I, Kennys777, have held Iceland and received the bonus for rounds 12 and 13. I was the first player to do it, therefore I am claiming my bonus points for this game. I have highlighted the round numbers and the actual bonuses received by me...

Good job, kennys!

BTW, you could always put the log extracts in spoiler tags, as below. Not a big deal, but it keeps things a tiny bit tidier.
