Olympic Tournament [WINNER: djelebert]

[falcon85]

Just an FYI to all of the players in this Tournament, Iron Maid who I think was running this tournament has been busted as a MULTI (see Policeboy & Top-Gun by Kueb thread in cheating and abuse forum). Therefore, I don't think he has the ability to manage this tournament at the moment (and maybe going forward).

Just thought you might like to know.

[JimMaWong]

Most of the work is done, is anyone willing to step up and stake control, we should only have 30 players left in the near future.

2008-09-25 17:19:23 - Iron Maid [team]: dit is zeer rottig voor het toernooi

2008-09-25 17:20:13 - Iron Maid [team]: ik kan niet meer PM-men, en verder alleen mijn game afmaken
2008-09-26 11:48:35 - gertvanreusel [team]: mm, lastig. Kan je me dan toch nog je legers uit helsinki G naar stockholm G doorsturen? Thx
2008-09-26 14:53:01 - Iron Maid [team]: ik kan deze game afmaken

2008-09-28 17:28:03 - Iron Maid [team]: aangezien het je schijnbaar niet interesseert wat er verder met het toernooi gebeurt, heeft het voor mij ook geen zin meer om deze game af te maken

[Natali]

What will happen' with this tournament? Sorry, can't speak dutch.

[GROND 2cd.]

Just in case that this tournament will go on: I was the only one who received armies on the 30th of september, so I would be in the next round

What will happen with this tournement. Can somebody else take over for it?

[Zemljanin]

What will happen with this tournement. Can somebody else take over for it?

Well, I could do it... IF I win my game (which is completely lost at the very moment )

[vax]

this is what happens to Multis...
don't let it happen to u !
damn pirates

[Lufsen75]

Now 8th of October are here. Where are the organizer?

[ctgottapee]

i would be more than happy to take over the tourney, but i feel ironmaid may not reliquish control or help out in order to try and gain a premium donation

sad as it was a massive tourney with a lot of potential

[Chariot of Fire]

Have u approached him? I'm sure you could take it over without a problem. Be great if you could. You've my full support (but not my help I'm afraid)

Good luck

[ctgottapee]

it is no longer possible, the only game he could talk in is over and his account i locked, i'll try and ask some mods

[ctgottapee]

i've contacted the tournament mods and ask to take this over but so far it appears that iron maid is trying to gain a free premium out of it so it is doubtful he will turn things over

i'm not sure if he has to agree for the tourney mods to do it, but that would be the best way i guess.
my only suggestion is that if you want to see this tourney continued, someone should create a thread in the tournament issues section and others post in it so as to show need.

Hope you get the privs. Though the swedish qualify are not finnished. But if you look at it as the rules and what is said before I am qualified due to have the most deployment at the specific time but I dont know.

[ctgottapee]

ok TOURNAMENT BACK ON....

give me some time to get things organized first. i will continue with the way Iron Maid organized things.
BUT i will not hold the 'most elimenated side tourney' thing unless someone else wants to go through all the games and count them
AND I will not do the play by play posting, but your welcome to chime in

it is my first tourney and i want to do things fairly so be patient and help me out if you can
also fyi: i'm still in the tourney at this point

i can not edit Iron Maids first post so this will be the new results page

[ctgottapee]

ok, got the tourney board updated....

still one stage one game going with three sweedes mounting a cold war well into round 115, the to be determined winner moves on to stage two

only one stage two game waiting to start due to the round one game going, will create that game and invite the other seven qualifiers next

the asia qualifier is near full with one tie breaker match already fought and another tie breaker between two Korean players to come
the remaining regions are full apart from Europe where all qualifier matches are still ongoing or yet to start

three stage two games are still on going and proving to be fierce battles

gisbert was notified he advanced to stage two replacing Iron Maid who was DQ'd as a multi

and as noted above i suspended the elimenator trophy side tourney

if you see anything wrong with the standings or have any questions, post a reply in this thread
cheers!
ct

[ctgottapee]

it was clarified the 2nd asia tie breaker match was not needed as Iron Maid devised a tie breaker scheme based on stage 1 results that i will honor
"The following happens: If both players of the same country end the same in their game, this means both winner or both runner-up, the player who ended better in the Stage 1 game qualifies. The other player will be replaced by a player from another country."

the asia qualifiers are now filled

i have decided to not artificially cut off any of the remaining games to determine a winner; they will play to their conclusion at this point in time

Update on Remaining games for those of us waiting for another chance to kill.

Tournament Game: Olympic Tournament - Q2 Canada
http://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=3250130
Round 55
Bad Speler / 5 Cards / 300 Armies
elfcasino / 5 Cards / 289 Armies
Silver / 2 Cards / 266 Armies
track800 / 3 Cards / 328 Armies
mwcc / 5 Cards / 117 Armies
Summary: Most of the territories are not protected 100% and every player has access to a small area to get their spoils. It looks like they could all keep attacking small areas and moving back until someone gets bored.

gertvanreusel / 5 Cards / 195 Armies
Zemljanin / 3 Cards / 154 Armies
Summary: All the large armies are seperated from each other and not many large wars look to be forming.

I think thats the 3 remaining games we have to wait for. Since I asked how many games are left I thought I should get off my ass and look.

[ctgottapee]

i see your point...
when taking over the tourney - and because i'm still alive in it - i decided to honor all the rules iron maid put in place, and he didn't specify much about long games, so i've decided to let it ride for a while. also, the three games you mentioned are not the hold up, there is actually still a Q1 game going on noted on my updated brackets page, which has tied up the final Q2 game from starting. obviously people will change play styles knowing the rules ahead of time. for the Olympic games, i may implement some sort of limiter or tie-breaker, but this is my first tourney, so i don't know for sure what that should be. long games in large tourneys with high quality players are just a fact of life IMHO.

Entering round 132 Lufsen75 with 918 armies, znoork with 899, and arturf1 trailing in territories and armies with 616; note a high ranking general Phlaim is eliminated.
and the winner fills the final spot of the europe qualifier:

[Lufsen75]

And you have to set a winner in the swedish game at some other way than wait until we are finnished. cause that will be waiting for if anyone of us dont make a stupid move

[ctgottapee]

heh, the olympic committee would like to avoid determining a winner; i mean all CC games can go on like the swedes is, so it is nothing new or unexpected, and the games settings are not preventing any conclusions. if i'm enventually forced to determine a winner, i will say that i will almost certainly not go by the games statistics, i will probably use a random way that allows all remaining players to win; this will prevent current players just hoarding and waiting.

if the remaining players of any game want to discuss a way to decide who should be the winner, i'll accept your decision. there are a number of ways you can do it. remember there can only be one winner

And you have to set a winner in the swedish game at some other way than wait until we are finnished. cause that will be waiting for if anyone of us dont make a stupid move

... and all ongoing games remain ongoing at this time, and the sign up for Europe group 1 was pulled due to the delay, i'll reset it once a winner of the Q1 match comes forward
note (GRE) psaxnoulis and (EST) walar did not reply to the join request so they may be replaced by alternates
