Serbian Conquest [Winner: freakns]

[freakns]

OK so here's where we are. denominator is going to be one of the two wild card eliminations in this round (1 win total). there will be a tiebreaker game in Region 3 to determine who the automatic elimination in that group is (from whichever of them doesn't get a win this round).

lol so that tie-breaker game between Woodruff and I really didn't matter - whoever won was going to be the wild card elimination regardless!

yeah
end even thou this favours me pretty much, i have to say, im not all for it. simple fact barterer changed rules during tournament puts a little shadow over it... well, regardless, im still planning on winning it

EDIT:
table of wins:
1. keiths31 7(2)
2. dinustef 6
3.-4. Jack_Strap, freakns 5
5.-7. Portmangray, Zorbas, Tripitaka 4
8. Serbia 3(2)
9. amazzony 3(1)
10. Guderian09 3
11. lordnex 2(2)
12. Mikalf 1(2)

id say dinustef and keiths31 doesnt need to worry about tiebreaker if they make through fourth round. Jack_Strap and i are also in good situation. everyone else, it will be rough...

[barterer2002]

I won't disagree with that. If I weren't an idiot they wouldn't have had to change however, the way they were written wasn't going to happen in the math.

[freakns]

keiths31 won 4th game!


one more left, keiths31, serbia and lordnex are still alive and cards worth is 35 now... so its one, maybe two turns until Berlin is over, so group 3 can enter tiebreaker(at least 3 if not all 4 will enter tiebreaker )

[keiths31]

Well my dice failed miserably...will not be winning this game now

[barterer2002]

I have created the tiebreaker game and sent it to the two players who will definately be in it pending the finish of the final game of set 3.

[Serbia]

I just won this game. So I guess I'll be advancing!

You still have a chance at the wild card elimination (although I write this without looking at the totals here)

[barterer2002]

OK so here's where we are. Group 3 tiebreaker games are sent out. Mikalf is going to be eliminated one way or the other but this game will determine which of the other two are elimianted. The first person eliminated from the tiebreaker is the automatic elimination from Round 3 and we'll then move onto the wildcard tiebreaker. If Mikalf is not the first eliminated in the tiebreaker game then he will be the wild card elimination due to fewest remaining wins (1). If, however, Mikalf is eliminated first then lordnex will have the fewest remaining wins (2) and will be eliminated.

so, basically, the only difference will be if amazzony is first one out? then lordnex will advance and Mikalf will be out due to the fewest wins so far... and just to be said, Mikalf is last time see around here 5 days ago, so he might be out already... man, this stuff is complicated

anyhow, full table of wins so far as we are going to need this one for final elimination:
1. keiths31 8
2. dinustef 6
3.-4. Jack_Strap, freakns 5
5.-8. Portmangray, Zorbas, Tripitaka, Serbia 4
9.-10. amazzony, Guderian09 3
11. lordnex 2
12. Mikalf 1

[barterer2002]

You have it right, if Mikalf doesnt' show up for the tiebreaker then he forfeits and becomes the automatic out for the group.

[freakns]

and lordnex is out due to the total wins tiebreaking rule and he and amazzony doesnt even have to play tiebreker

So am I safe then, or not?

[barterer2002]

Right the tiebreaker is to determine the automatic elimination from the group. If one of the players forfeits it, that player becomes the automatic elimiantion. Once that is determined we go to the wildcard which (assuming the game isn't played) would be lordnex.

And yes, Serb, you are safe for this round but you're going to need some wins in the next round.

[lordnex]

lol, this is a joke, right?

So.. Mikalf does not have any chance of advancing - even if he does show up and wins the tiebreaker??? Then, why would he even, show up? I woudn't in his place...

.. and if he does not show up, I am eliminated and amazzony advance without winning a game in this round?

[freakns]

Then, why would he even, show up? I woudn't in his place...

because of some thing called fair play :p

.. and if he does not show up, I am eliminated and amazzony advance without winning a game in this round?

well, its not like you won any game in this round

and i already said, i dont like changing rules in the middle of the tournament, but it actually came out pretty fair this time as the two eliminates after added tiebreaker are denominator and either you or Miklaf. neither of you have won a game. so next time, you might accept the fact that i am a CC mistermind, bow to me and ask me nicely how to play. then i might help you. and yeah, one more thing. dont ever, never say a name of Bruce Cantpasskowski, try to explain people he isnt as bad as he is, or pretend to know anything about NFL. you still may cheer for Bucs althoug you arent presenting us in good spirit

[freakns]

still waiting for Mikalf?

[barterer2002]

I'm actually updating right not. I've declared Mikalf in forfeit making him the auto elimintee in that region and lordnex the wild card elimination. Mikalf hasn't signed onto CC in a week so we're going to move on without him.

Reminders are out.

[freakns]

we finally started semifinals! heres to hoping all the games will be lying, manipulating and backstabbing as they usually are

[freakns]

hello finals, here i come!
4887549 won by me

[barterer2002]

freakns is still the only player with a win in either semifinals matchup.

Wild Card standings

1. keiths31 8
2-3. dinustef, freakns 6
4. Jack_Strap,5
5.-8. Portmangray, Zorbas, Tripitaka, Serbia 4
9.-10. amazzony, Guderian09 3

Essentially freakns assures himself of a finals seat unless his group splits the 5 games with all 5 players winning once and then becomes the first player out in the group's tiebreaker.
