Olympic Tournament [WINNER: djelebert]

[Iron Maid]

We have our first US competitor qualified to the second qualifying stage! Bboru (USA) won the United States Group 6 Game 2961708 as he eliminated his last 3 opponents in Round 12, 13 & 15.

In Round 7 of United States Group 7 Game 2961755 chopsiu (USA) eliminated Arizona's Drunk_Idiot (USA). chopsiu (USA) seems to be on his way to become the second US player to qualify to Stage 2.

In the Costa Rica & Panama Game 2967400 Panama's Konohashinobi (PAN) was eliminated by physics teacher Elegarth (CRC) from Costa Rica. Darik (PAN) from Panama is now going to represent his country in Stage 2 as he is the only player left from Panama in this game. He definitely has to play against one of the Trinidad boys there.

Sergeant 1st Class Nando (URU) is the first one to leave the Uruguay Game 2967240 as he was eliminated by nejda (URU) in Round 5.

In the Argentina Game 2967454 only 3 players are left. torombolo74 (ARG) eliminated agustink (ARG) in Round 7 and Campanita (ARG) eliminated Turu2001 (ARG) in Round 8. In 8 Rounds torombolo74 (ARG) and Campanita (ARG) didn't attack eachother a single time. As these 2 friends play a lot of games together, I decided that one of them will not qualify to the Second Stage. This place will be given to Nr.3 of the game italianipastido (ARG). Opinions from others about this case are welcome on this topic.

Andeggen (NOR) was the first one to leave the Iceland & Norway Game 2963707 as he was eliminated on his homecountry Norway by Iceland's Olafsson (ISL) in Round 7.

The Finnish finally finished (well, that's a nice one ) in Round 10 of Game 2961985. Jantti85 (FIN) won the game by eliminating his doubles partner jezerai (FIN). I'm still awaiting some reactions on this game. If all reactions are ok Jantti85 (FIN) qualifies to Stage 2.

In the Great Britain Group 1 Game 2962855 Gibbo123 (GBR) was eliminated in Round 9 by identity shaker (GBR).

drake_259 (GBR) is the first of 2 British players in the next European Round as he clinched his place in Stage 2 by winning the Great Britain Group 2 Game 2961364. The last couple of rounds in this game were a nice fight between him and John Price (GBR) who finally got eliminated in Round 19.

Updates on the other games will be given tomorrow.

[Iron Maid]

In United States Group 1 Game 2961495 we finally have some action as MuEagles79 (USA) eliminates Sun Tzup (USA) in Round 7. In United States Group 3 Game 2961555 jdell64 (USA) was eliminated by ctgottapee (USA) in Round 10. United States Group 4 Game 2961600 has also a victim. mwaser (USA) was eliminated in Round 5 by Texan player bigdaddyslim2 (USA). In United States Group 5 Game 2961661 it was stewie225 (USA) who made his final turn in Round 7, before he was eliminated by gliblr (USA) in Round 8. Also United States Group 7 Game 2961755 lost a player. Corporal Funkelee (USA) was kicked out by Virginia's magneto_acolyte (USA) in Round 7. United States Group 8 Game 2961791 lost even 2 players with Lexitonia5 (USA) & xerro (USA). Both of them have been eliminated by Endar1077 (USA), a student from Berkeley, California.

Most Western European games advance slowly as some players miss their turns. Exception is the Belgium Game 2962938 which is now in Round 22.

Hungarian Mikymike (HUN) was eliminated by Bolint (HUN) in Round 7 of the Hungary Game 2964332.

Romania lost 2 players as Becali (ROM) & keisha (ROM) were both eliminated in Round 5 of the Romania Game 2961340.

Cape Town's FATHARRY (RSA) won the South Africa Group 1 Game 2968235 as he first eliminated guleroiuk (RSA) in Round 11 and foregone (RSA), who also qualifies, in Round 13.

The Lebanon & United Arab Emirates Game 2967527 was won by Lebanese in Qatar chac (LIB) by eliminating other Lebanon player, with Saudi Arabian flag at the moment, General K (LIB)in Round 10. chac (LIB) now qualifies together with Dubai architect cm3207 (UAE), who was the best player from the UAE.

After almost been eliminated at an earlier stage of the game Italian in Cambodia cinematic (CAM) won the South East Asia Game 2967598. Runner-up jademagon (THA) living in Thailand also qualifies as he eliminated his countryman Didda (THA) in Round 13.

All games have started. Last one to start was the newly created New Zealand Group 3 Game 3035091. As this game was created extra, only 2 of these 5 high ranked players will qualify to join the other 6 Kiwi's in Stage 2.

[Shai]

my game ended, I won

[Iron Maid]

In Round 8 of the United States Group 4 Game 2961600 TaCktiX (USA) made another victim as he eliminated bigdaddyslim2 (USA). As it is Darin44 (USA) his turn now, I think Darin44 (USA) will first eliminate pebble (USA), who only has 2 territories left, and then go for the victory.

Our Trinidad player colonel neil (TRI) who was granted access in the Uruguay Game 2967240 has been eliminated in Round 7 by Captain Sparrow (URU). The 5 remaining Uruguayans will now fight for 2 spots in the next round.

The Argentina Game 2967454 came to an end in Round 15. After I had to make a decision, because of the fact that doubles partners torombolo74 (ARG) & Campanita (ARG) didn't attack eachother, that either torombolo74 (ARG) or Campanita (ARG) won't advance to the next round, Campanita (ARG) changed strategy and eliminated torombolo74 (ARG). Campanita (ARG) won the game and will advance to the next round together with major italianipastido (ARG).

The first Swedish players are out of the Tournament. In Round 12 of the Sweden Game 2961953 both White Moose (SWE) & Phlaim (SWE) were eliminated by respectivitely znoork (SWE) & colonel artur1 (SWE). With 4 players left the game looks balanced now and it will be hard to guess who's winning this one.

In Round 10 of the Great Britain Group 1 Game 2962855 stephen76 (GBR) was eliminated by London's grandadlagger-no-1 (GBR). sid12345 (GBR) has Land's End & Wales under control and is propably the player with the best chances for this game.

Romanian tumpi (ROM) eliminated both dexterdexter (ROM) & Haggis_McMutton (ROM), who has a nice avatar of Bucharest by night, in Round 7 of the Romania Game 2961340.

A lot of action happened in the Croatia Game 2963520. In Round 8 Ozalj's DimnjacarStef (CRO) was eliminated by mandalorian2298 (CRO). After that in the same round Natali (CRO) eliminated Slunj's majorfakoman (CRO). 2 rounds later in Round 10 Natali (CRO) also made an end at the ambitions of mandalorian2298 (CRO). After 12 rounds it looks like this game would go to professor Natali (CRO) who lives near Mirogoj, one of the largest cementeries in Europe. After seeing 3 people been eliminated in this game by Natali (CRO) I know who's responsible.

It's unbelievable what happened in Round 6 of the Israel Game 2967302. ifinci (ISR) almost eliminated inonzuk (ISR), but with just 1 army left inonzuk (ISR) survived the attack. After that major Shai (ISR) eliminated all other 5 players from the game. ifinci (ISR) afterwards was lucky enough to be eliminated last of these 5 and so may join Shai (ISR) in Stage 2 on the Asia map.

Well, I don't want to repeat myself, but same thing as in Israel happened in Round 7 of the Hong Kong Game 2967565. Biscuit designer and highest ranked player from Hong Kong on CC Chariot of Fire (HKG) eliminated all his opponents. Student xiaotian (HKG), who came in this tournament as replacement, is the lucky one who gets the second ticket for Stage 2.

2 players had to leave the Tournament in Round 5 of the Rep. of Korea & Japan Game 2967203. JimMaWong (KOR) increased his chances by eliminating fellow Korean ironyfree (KOR). SamHealey (KOR) eliminated American teacher in Japan zrena (JPN).

Ballarat's lecturer Sprocc (AUS) is the first Aussie to leave the Tourney. He got eliminated by aristotea (AUS) in Round 8 of the Australia Group 1 Game 2968047.

put us in coach..we can dooooo it!!

You still have to wait. The other games in North America are it little bit slower. I now know why 2 Trini boys reached the final in the 100 metres at the real Olympics.

[SalvatoreLuciano]

Game 2966846 - Republic of Macedonia

Winner - SalvatoreLuciano....

...and what now?

[Iron Maid]

In Round 9 of the United States Group 1 Game 2961495 we had to say goodbye to photographer badnuzjr (USA) as he was eliminated by MuEagles79 (USA).

A serial killer is born as ctgottapee (USA) eliminated kuma (USA), gcwca_4_life (USA) & major goggles paisano (USA) all in Round 12 of the United States Group 3 Game 2961555. With only 2 territories and 3 armies left student Corman (USA) will definitely be the last victim!

The United States Group 4 Game 2961600 came to an end in Round 10. Lieutenant Darin44 (USA), who came in this Tourney as replacement for Miami's sexydude (USA), won it by eliminating pebble (USA) in Round 9 and Charleston's TaCktiX (USA) in Round 10.

Pandinzka (MEX) is the first Mexican to leave the Tournament as he was eliminated by student Ricky69 (MEX) in Round 6 of the Mexico Game 2967048.

The first Irish player being eliminated is Rathmichael's GerD (IRL). Cobh's johnefitz (IRL) was responsible for this in Round 9 of the Ireland Game 2962061.

peridhil (POR) is the first one to leave the 8-player Portugal Game 2961290. MadRMax (POR) eliminated him in Round 5.

Another player qualified to Stage 2. With the elimination of merodac (AUT) by Mexican in Switzerland alegoria (SUI) in Round 9 of The Alps Game 2964101, speckknoedelsup (AUT) will be Austria's representive in Stage 2. Earlier in Round 8 major speckknoedelsup (AUT) already helped the remaining Swiss players as he eliminated dragosb (SUI).

In Round 8 of the Romania Game 2961340 snowborder34 (ROM) was eliminated by captain tumpi (ROM).

The next European player to advance to the next stage is Skopje's SalvatoreLuciano (MKD). He won the Rep. of Macedonia Game 2966846 in Round 22. SWeko (MKD) & rtgs (MKD) both have been eliminated today by him.

In the Other Africa & Oceania Game 2968732 Asian major riskconquerer (JOR) from Jordan wasn't very welcome, as he was the first one to be eliminated. Egyptian diddos3 (EGY) was responsible for the elimination in Round 3.

Korea's JimMaWong (KOR) did 2 more eliminations in the Rep. of Korea & Japan Game 2967203. JapanMan (JPN) was eliminated by him in Round 6 and fellow Korean SamHealey (KOR) in Round 7. MuSaShi[X] (JPN) can be happy with this, as he is now the only Japanese player left and therefore receives a ticket for Stage 2.

Captain e_i_pi (AUS) eliminated madman7 (AUS) in Round 12 of the Australia Group 2 Game 2968072.

[ctgottapee]

A serial killer is born as ctgottapee (USA) eliminated kuma (USA), gcwca_4_life (USA) & major goggles paisano (USA) all in Round 12 of the United States Group 3 Game 2961555. With only 2 territories and 3 armies left student Corman (USA) will definitely be the last victim!

Game# 2963520

[Iron Maid]

Well, this update will take some time as I see that there are some players that couldn't wait to claim their victory. But no worries it's only good that the second stage qualifiers come nearer and nearer.

The only US game with still all competitors left, lost also a competitor. In United States Group 2 Game 2961531 caddy (isn't that a small cadet) Gamefreakguy (USA) was eliminated in Round 8 by sd031091 (USA). More news from this game is that Army of Achilles (USA) reads these updates. Well he also is going to host a big tournament:
http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=59494&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
Winner receives a 6 months premium, but it's for premiums only. Well if someone is willing to sponsor the Olympic Tournament, I maybe can do the same.

My prediction on the United States Group 3 Game 2961555 was right. ctgottapee (USA) won it in Round 13. He pissed his way through to Stage 2.

Only 4 players left in the Uruguay Game 2967240 as programmer rodrigopel (URU) was eliminated in Round 9 by elgranmoky (URU).

In Round 6 of the France Game 2961388 azol te col (FRA) was kicked out for missing too many turns due to vacation. A lot of neutral territories in the Pyrenees are now waiting to be taken.

Bucharest's tumpi (ROM) became a major, when he claimed the victory in the Romania Game 2961340. The last 2 opponents Sven Hassel (ROM) & DarkMalkin (ROM) had to leave the Tourney in Round 9 & 10.

With the elimination of Croatian football star Eduardo da Silva (CRO) in Round 14, Natali (CRO) won the Croatia Game 2963520 on the Italy map.

Cdkutusu (TUR) is happy to see an update for the Russia & Turkey Game 2966888. Unfortunately it's about the elimination of both Cdkutusu (TUR) & Sil (RUS) from Saint-Petersburg by stigmatt (RUS) in Round 11. Istanbul's khan73 (TUR) will be Turkey's entry now for Stage 2, in which already 10 of 32 European spots have been filled. stigmatt (RUS) still has to fight against colonel Beadle (RUS) for the Russian spot.

In Round 4 of the Other Africa & Oceania Game 2968732 the number of players left reduced to 6, as Egypt's diddos3 (EGY) eliminated abu_deep (LBA) from Libya. As the best 4 players of minimum 3 different countries qualify, Tai_pan (NMA) from Saipan, located in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, is now secured to have a place in the second stage.

In Asia another game has ended. Korea's JimMaWong (KOR) clinched the victory in Round 11 of the Rep. of Korea & Japan Game 2967203. With Holis (KOR) eliminated in Round 8 & fellow Korean Idashla (KOR) in Round 9, Idashla (KOR) will join JimMaWong (KOR) for Korea in Stage 2. MuSaShi[X] (JPN) who became runner-up, will represent Japan there.

dandrobie (SIN) is the first victim in the Singapore Game 2967342 as he was eliminated in Round 7 by h530251 (SIN).

With the elimination of blindmatt (AUS) in Round 12 of the Australia Group 1 Game 2968047 by CaptainGoatshead (AUS) the 3 qualifiers to the next stage are: CaptainGoatshead (AUS), aristotea (AUS) and Aussierager (AUS).

After 15 Rounds in the Australia Group 2 Game 2968072 only 2 players are left: Cral42 (AUS) and nukie (AUS). Both will qualify together with e_i_pi (AUS) to Stage 2.

As all players for Australia in Stage 2 are known now, it is a question of time until we can start with this first game in the Second Qualification Round.

Tournament Game: Olympic Tournament - Q1 United States Group 8

ralphcptc wins

[Iron Maid]

With the elimination in Round 13 of abarbaro (CRC) by Panama's Darik (PAN) in the Costa Rica & Panama Game 2967400, physics teacher Elegarth (CRC) is the only Costa Rican left. Which means a place in Stage 2 for Elegarth (CRC).

dcozyslayer (ANT) from Antigua & Barbuda won the Honduras & Caribbean Islands Game 3012149. He eliminated his Antiguan friend dcozyone (ANT) and wijotoma (HON) from Honduras in Round 8. jackupton (ISV) from the US Virgin Islands will join dcozyslayer (ANT) in the second stage. He reached Round 13 of the game.

In the Other South America Game 2968188 we now know the players that will go to the second stage: Peruvian locojes (PER), maxvicu (CHL) and deego86 (CHL) both from Chile and Colombian Falkomagno (COL). mahkali (SUR) from Suriname was eliminated in Round 7 and DColodro (CHL) from Chile in Round 8.

In Round 16 of the Great Britain Group 1 Game 2962855 sid12345 (GBR) eliminated grandad lagger-no-1 (GBR). It looks like sid12345 (GBR) has now the best chances for this game as he occupies South England and Wales.

Italian Gornova (ITA) is the first player to leave the combined Belgium & Italy Game 2962993, as he was eliminated in Round 6 by Belgian major negoeien (BEL).

Also on the France map is of course the France Game 2961388. Major djelebert (FRA) did some good work in Round 7 as he eliminated both Fiz59 (FRA) and lepremierministr (FRA).

Portuguese player lisbon101 (POR) climbed up to the rank of major as he claimed the victory in Round 10 of the Portugal Game 2961290. A lot of action happened here as in the last update still 7 players were active in this game.

In Round 9 of the Germany Game 2963767 it's Auf Wiedersehen to major Tim alias daydream (GER). No more daydreamin' as he was eliminated by major GROND 2cd. (GER).

anamainiacks (SIN) eliminated codyjd (SIN) in Round 8 of the Singapore Game 2967342.

Unfortunately I received the following PM from Chinese winner Joodoo (CHN):

I have to quit the tournament for special reasons. I'm really sorry.

Number 3 of the China Game 2967324 drunkenmarauder (CHN) will replace him now.

[vax]

I now know why 2 Trini boys reached the final in the 100 metres at the real Olympics.

that's because their coach told them when u hear that gun shot at the start of the race think its the police and you have a bag of weed (marijuana) !!!

[Iron Maid]

I am happy to pronounce that we have a real Olympic medalist in our Tournament. Canadian rower Scott Frandsen who won the silver medal in the men's pair is playing as FTT (CAN) in the Canada Group 1 Game 2966949. Lucky enough he is still with us despite missing a few turns due to celebrating the medal. Well done Scott and congratulations!

Canadian in Korea [Game]track800[/Game] (CAN) did some fair play as he let the other 3 players fight out who will be the second one to qualify in the Canada Group 3 Game 2967019. In Round 15 it was tvanherk (CAN) who eliminated both other players and now will join track800 (CAN) in Stage 2.

In Round 14 of the United States Group 1 Game 2961495 MuEagles79 (USA) eliminated zissou2 (USA). Omaha's Humrlmo (USA) has already missed 2 consecutive turns, and 20 hours left now. I wonder how this game ends.

Also in Round 14 but in the United States Group 5 Game 2961661 true2paintball (USA) eliminated lieutenant frankroz (USA). 3 players left now.

The United States Group 8 Game 2961791 came to an end in Round 18. Tennessee's ralphcptc (USA) eliminated in this turn both California's endar1077 (USA) and North Carolina's reahma (USA). ralphcptc (USA) is the 4th US player who reached the next stage. Still 4 to go!

macedonio (MEX) is the second player to leave the Mexico Game 2967048 as he was eliminated by Ricky69 (MEX) in Round 9.

The North Central America Game 2967704 ended with a victory in Round 23 for Nicaraguan Sid Caracas (NCA) who was already assured with a place in Stage 2. In Round 19 San Pedro Sula's vtonic (HON) got the ticket for the Honduras spot as the other player from Honduras Memus (HON) was eliminated.

In Round 9 of the Other South America Game 2968188 Peruvian player locojes (PER) was eliminated by Chilean maxvicu (CHL).

Major djelebert (FRA) is going to represent France in the next stage, as he won the France Game 2961388 in Round 9. In that round he eliminated litteulced (FRA). Previously in Round 8 he already eliminated Brood (FRA) from Cognac. I could use some Cognac also.

Oh my God. I'm drunk now *hiccup*

Nebraska's Humrlmo (USA) finally could do some turns after he had problems with the PC access. Nevertheless it couldn't help him to compete against MuEagles79 (USA) in the United States Group 1 Game 2961495. MuEagles79 (USA) won the game in Round 17 and qualified to Stage 2 as the 5th winner of a US Stage 1 game.

After a while we have finally some more action from the Ireland Game 2962061 as Cork's ronhugh (IRL) eliminated both gonzo111 (IRL) and Edinburgh's CaptainMoo (IRL) in Round 12.

In Round 5 of the Netherlands Game 2961234 JulezC (NED) was the first player to be eliminated. After cashing some cards major Gisbert (NED) eliminated him and cashed some cards afterwards too.

In less than 50 Rounds (49th Round with the last player to take a turn) the Belgium Game 2962938 came to an end. After some heavy attacks and a lot of discussion it was Mol's gertvanreusel (BEL) to bring it home. The other two players: Hoofdschudder (BEL) and Tichke (BEL) only could watch to see there territories decreasing.

The Alps Game 2964101 was won by Austrian speckknoedelsup (AUT) after he stored his armies to let the Swiss players fight for their spot in Stage 2. In Round 15 alegoria (SUI) eliminated Reto Vögeli (SUI) and afterwards she lost in Round 19 to engineer Blondiech (SUI) from Valais/Wallis. So Blondiech (SUI) will represent the "Eidgenossen" in Stage 2.

Private 1st class MC Don Key (HUN) won the Hungary Game 2964332 as he made goulash of Bolint (HUN) in Round 19 and pitemeister (HUN) in Round 20.

In Round 6 of the Other Africa & Oceania Game 2968732 diddos3 (EGY) from Egypt eliminated fellow Egyptian Commando23 (EGY). This means that both diddos3 (EGY) and Mizo007 (EGY) will join Saipan's Tai_pan (NMA) and Lord James 16 (MAR), who was diddos3 (EGY)'s next victim in Round 7, in the next stage. In Round 4 Moroccan major Bandido (MAR) was kicked out for missing too many turns.

Only 3 players left in the Singapore Game 2967342 as anamainiacks (SIN) eliminated VivaLasVegas777 (SIN) in Round 10.
