That's probably a mistake on my part. I misread the way that was supposed to be handled. I'll fix the standings to show rounds only for games won.

Still missing an opponent for this game 9325931, maybe they dropped out or missed the message?

How often are you guys going to update the standings? Want to do it now?

[thehippo8]

Any opportunity you get to reinstate me would be kind, thanks.

Aren't the standings wrong? How did I lose 1 and win 2 while I have finished only 2 games and won both?

ISN2	2	   1

[MrGlassB]

That's odd. I'll fix it now.

Not sure when the next round of games is coming out but can I get mine delayed until after the weekend, I will be gone until Monday with a sitter taking my place.

Thanks, Lurk

In Norway:
Total Wins: 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 9
Total Loses: 0 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 2 + 3= 8
So of course there is something odd!

In Sweden:
Total Wins: 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 7
Total Loses: 0 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 3 = 6
Something is odd there too!

In United States:
Total Wins: 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 7
Total Loses: 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 2 = 6
More odd things!

[MrGlassB]

Thanks! That's so weird. I could've sworn I didn't miss anything. In any case I've added counters to the spreadsheet to make sure that doesn't happen again.

I may be either slow ... or one of the first to notice ... the countries in the Group Stage on the map just shuffled today! Someone tell me I'm not dreaming or hallucinating?

WTF just happened? How can you do that in the middle of a freakin' tournament! People are in the middle of game strategies! This wasn't a beta map, damn it.

Thanks, you just totally screwed me over on my next turn. I had 5 on Qual AUS and was going to attack Group AUS to break his bonus in Group B. Suddenly AUS's not in Group B anymore! Put it back. Please. Or at least put the 5 on something that can attack his 1 in Group B. This is seriously f'ed up.

You know, I realize the map sucked, but at least we were all playing on the same sucky map and we all had formulated strategies and were trying to deal with it. Haven't you ever heard the expression, "You can't change horses in midstream"? Put it back the way it was before too many peoples games get messed up.

Subject: World Cup Map Bungle

Today I updated the 2011 World Cup map, and it changed the gameplay affecting many games including two tournaments. I shouldn't have applied that update to ongoing games just like that, and I failed to read the instructions provided to me by samuelc812. This was pretty stupid of me and I take full responsibility. It is not the fault samuelc812 or any other of our wonderful volunteers.

I have reverted back to the previous version of the map, and hopefully we can sort things out with affected games...

Thank you for recognizing the problem and rectifying it.

Also, I would like to apologize for my rant. I'm sorely tempted to delete it but, I posted it and, I guess I should own it, embarrassing as it is. I really do admire the job that you all do, especially the volunteers like Sam, and I'm sorry if it seemed like I was attacking them in any way. I was, obviously , upset and I posted right away instead of giving myself time to "calm the f* down". It's just a game, which I realized after I walked away from the computer for a while. You guys, usually , do an awesome job and, I'm sure, most of us appreciate it.

[rjhankey]

Thanks for jumping on that so quickly and getting map reverted back -- I held off on taking my next turn, hoping that maybe order and peace would be restored!

[samuelc812]

No worries guys, your frustrations were perfectly valid and understandable

~Sam

[Ffraid]

Thanks for your understanding, Sam. You are a gentleman and a scholar. Well, I don't actually know if you're a scholar, but you are certainly a gentleman .

And, again, thanks for all that you do, for the benefit of us all. I have said that I think the graphic talent on this site is amazing and makes it what it is, but the volunteers, who dedicate so much of their time, really deserve a lot of recognition and credit. I don't think that there is any way this place could function without the folks who donate their time to try to make it run as smoothly as possible.

[johncusac]

Keep the map the way it is for the rest of the tournament please! The map is good how it is

[josko.ri]

I just played one game at modified world 2011 map and this is really terrible. starting without neutrals will give HUGE advantage to the first playing player. like map was before, it was not so lot advantage for 1st playing player. gameplay side of the map really decreased with this change, please notice it.

[mattattam]

I 100% agree with Joski and johncusac. This map was better with starting nuetrals. Much more skill based. Please keep it the way it is with nuetrals.
