[KidWhisky]

Thanks Zem. This gives me a better idea of were I stand.

[amazzony]

So how's the tournament going?

So how's the tournament going?

Sometimes slow, sometimes fast. We are going forward somehow
(something is wrong with my computer so I'll be unable to update until I fix it. For now, I barely manage to play...)

My mind is always messed up when somebody changes their avatar because avis are the easiest and fastest way to see who is who IMO but I decided that I need a fresher look

Thank you, I'm glad you like it!

I feel like I'm hijacking this thread

I still have problems with my computer, but I'll somehow manage to update, at least once a week...

Updated. Feel free to see first page.

Hey! Which is the state of this tournament? Any news?

[hwhrhett]

of course its been cancelled, i think we have all forgotten about the unwritten cc rule:

any tournament that involves hwhrhett must be abandoned before round 3 if hwhrhett is doing well enough to possibly win.

[KidWhisky]

lol well if thats the case I'll be doing my best to knock you out as soon as possible in any tournaments I see you in.

[hwhrhett]

lol well if thats the case I'll be doing my best to knock you out as soon as possible in any tournaments I see you in.

your a good man whisky.

[Zemljanin]

LOL, it's not cancelled! If I fail to answer some post in first several hours, that doesn't mean that I am not watching...
(Last several posts have been put between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. - considering my local time. What if I say that I was sleeping?)

We need just one more elimination to start semifinal round. Even if I am an organizer, I have no obligation to spend half of my armies just to make tournament faster!

hwhrhett, I can guarantee you - even if everyone except you and me abandons the tourney, we'll make a play off match. If you win that match - you're a tournament winner!

Just a little more patience, please

[OliverFA]

Well, being the organizer you can force the other player to be the one who spends half of his armies

[Zemljanin]

OK, Oliver, I am nominating you . Go visit Game 3209201, decide who should eliminate whom - I'll let them know about your decision. They of course should obey

I nominate Lucifer4o, R0k0v and heatz

By the way, that map looks complicated! :-O

[KidWhisky]

Oh man I hate that map almost as much as I hate Waterloo. And with set cards it may take awhile.

lol well if thats the case I'll be doing my best to knock you out as soon as possible in any tournaments I see you in.

your a good man whisky.

lol I do what I can.

[Zemljanin]

LOL, Oliver, your influence really IS effective ...

Yes, folks, you understand well - a semifinal round begins very soon (in a few days). But before that, there is an issue I'd like to discuss first - home ground maps.
It's normal to choose home map and keep it 'till the end. However, you all know that we had a Classic issue. I doubt that many people desire to play Classic Shapes again - I certainly don't!
So my suggestion is:

Why don't we let each player to change the home map if s/he wants?

Is anybody against it and why?

Let us discuss it 48-72 hours, before I make games for semifinals. Thank you.

P.S. There is also some trivia:
24 players have chosen home map and started the game. Only hwhrhett and Bigragooch managed to win! (And mkcummins still have a chance)
