A Fifth of Dukasaur [Winner=Nailer X]

[Dukasaur]

Okay, just to explain what is going on in Game 9415972. Nacmonkey has declined his invite twice. On that basis he could, theoretically, be booted, but it is partially my fault. There were still 2 round 3 games ongoing, including one that nacmonkey is in, and this tournament did specify only one game at a time, so nacmonkey is in his rights to not accept a second invite while he's still in one active game. Seamus Corrigan also has no free slots and could technically be booted, but he PM'd me and I figure that, since we have to wait for nacmonkey anyway, we may as well wait for Seamus also. Anyway, thank you all for your patience. One way or another I will get these games under way within a few days.

[Dukasaur]

All games in Round 4 have succesfully started.

Game 9416073 OliverFA wins! Seems that two wins put me in the next phase!

[xman5151]

4 games, 4 wins! I don't plan on losing

Good work, both!

Looks like there are no active games and we're ready for the next round. I just got home from a four-day run, so give me 12 hours or so to get myself caught up on my own games and then I'll start the next round here!

[Dukasaur]

I know mpjh is on hiatus from CC, so I'll skip a step and remove him now without the embarrassing ritual of waiting for him to miss 2 invites. Hopefully that's our only MIA for this round, although I have all the usual doubts about nacmonkey. That leaves us with 70 players entering this round.

Edit: okay, we have our second casualty for this round:

I'm dropping out because I'll be out of town and I don't want to lose like that.

Thanks for the invite!

[Dukasaur]

Round 5 games have now been created and invitations sent out. This is the round on which eliminations begin. Therefore, for those of you with zero wins, it's DO OR DIE time! You must win your game this round or be eliminated. GOOD LUCK!

[Dukasaur]

stretchingdog and Shaba have missed their first invite. Re-invited.
nacmonkey missed his first invite, re-invited.
smithrog has missed an invite, but I have to be lenient with him, because he had originally accepted his invite into the game that was re-made when V.J. quit. It's not his fault the game was re-made.

If stretchingdog, Shaba, and nacmonkey miss their second invites, I will nuke all 3 games that they are in, and remake them as one 5-player game and one 6-player game with the surviving players.

Okay, Shaba and stretchingdog have now missed 3 invites each, and neither of them seems to have been on CC for a while, so I will assume they're gone. However, nacmonkey did eventually accept his second invite, so that kills my original idea of combining the 3 games into 2. Therefore, the other two games will simply have to be re-made as 4-player games.

[Dukasaur]

Finally all Round 5 games have successfully started!

[Dukasaur]

As of now there are five active games (the majority of them being 5-player) left in Round 5 of A Fifth of Dukasaur!

[Dukasaur]

4 games, 4 wins! I don't plan on losing

Looks like your perfect record has been ruined...

You're still at the top of the scoreboard, though!

[Dukasaur]

Game 9565438

Still waiting for one last game. Might have to impose an arbitrary limit soon.

Game 9565438

Still waiting for one last game. Might have to impose an arbitrary limit soon.

Actually, I've had another look and none of the players in Game 9565438 is in danger of elimination, so I can start the next round without waiting for that to finish.

Next round will begin within a few days.

[Dukasaur]

Dragontrader was apparantly booted from CC, and so is of course booted from the tourney as well.
