Tang Kai's Random Travels [Winner: overlander]

overlander is the overall winner =D>

Old Thread: Tang Kai's Random Travels from Tang Kai

Same tournament, only other organizer.

The original first post (I will also use it to updated the score and reserve list):

Tang Kai wrote:Ok, this tournament is based on a made up trip. Players will travel from Cambodia to Ireland... Overland! Your trip starts in Cambodia. You must then travel through China, Up to the Trans-Siberian Railroad in Russia, across the railroad to Europe. Then you must back-pack through Europe.
You then sail across the English Channel to Great Britain, travel across England and Wales, and cross the Irish Sea to Ireland, your final destination.
I know that the start and finishing destinations are random, thats why its called Random Travels.
There will be 30 players and 6 rounds. Each round will be played on different maps and different settings.
All games will be standard, and sequential, and the rest of the settings depend on the map.
There will be five 6-player games each round, with the winner getting 6 points, second getting 5 points, etc.
The winner of the tourney will be the player at the end of round 6 who has the most points.
In case of a tie, the players will play on the Ireland game map, with the same settings as Round 6.

Important!
Premiums as well as freemiums are welcome.
There will be 5 reserves.
You will have 48 hours to join your game.
If you do not join in the allotted time, you will be replaced by a reserve.
Please do not join this tournament if you plan on traveling or being away from your computer.
There is no premium prize, sorry
Please do not be rude, If a player is extremely rude, I reserve the right to oust him/her.

Everybody would be very welcome as reserve.
I expect that I need some for getting it running again.

Not decided yet how to handle the score of already played games. As reserve you will take over at least the score of the person who you replace. I will read the original thread to check for special rules for reserves and take a decision after that.

Although I try to finish this tournament in the best way I can; it is not 100% excluded that I will make mistakes. In those cases simply send me a message or reply here.

Welcome

I have just finished the invites for round 5.
Please join as soon as possible.
Let me know if you need more then standard time, I prefer to finish it with the people who are in the tournament.
There is only one remaining (old) reserve and one new reserve, so not joining is hardly an option.

I still have to update the score.

You are very welcome taxmanjle

Round 5 is just started, but when it is finished we still need to run round 6.
Looking to the number of reserves already used, it unfortunately seems likely that I will need you as reserve, but wait and see.

Round 4 is in the score now (for those that hadn't seen that part) O:)

Little Witt won Game 6014027 it was vary close

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Updated the status :mrgreen:

Still 12 people active in one or more games 8-)

I will wait with the last series of games until there are only 6 or less people active in earlier games :geek:

by **PaulusH** on Sat Jan 23, 2010 6:25 pm

So far this year all people stayed in their games.
There are some movements, but it is taking many turns.
Three active games: the active round 4 game of this tournament is at its 133th turn. The active round 5 games are at 38th resp 54th turn :roll:

I propose to start round 6 when all games are at turn 50 or higher, just toshorten the waiting time for the people currently not in a game O:)

At that moment they already had to wait for over a month :sick:

by **PaulusH** on Sat Feb 13, 2010 6:22 am

Invites for the last round are send.

Still two active games continue, both are busy for more then 50 turns. One active Game 5485973 in round 4 (at turn 149) and one Game 6014026 in round 5 (at turn 58).

khrbrt has not joined his game and it's been 3 days! can someone replace him

by **Little Witt** on Tue Feb 16, 2010 8:01 pm

umm. it seems that i can't win cause the person i replaced got last two games in a row so he only has 14 points and even if i win DimnjacarStef will still have 3 more points them me :/ do you have to still be in the tournament in the end for your points to count?

Basically that is the way this tournament was set up :roll:

You can still try to win your game :mrgreen:

To my opinion I shouldn't change too much in the original setup at rescuing this tournament :geek:

I already added the rule that the maximum number of turns in a game will be limited to 1000 O:)

by **Little Witt** on Tue Mar 02, 2010 1:18 pm

well i hope you chance the rules that you still have to be playing in the tournament to still win it cause it looks like reds going to miss and i can kill him and win the game after that

by **Little Witt** on Tue Mar 02, 2010 2:14 pm

won that 6th round game! 6457006

Little Witt wrote:won that 6th round game! 6457006

Yes, I noticed :roll:

I was in that game as well and was just one short for taking red out

Anyway red will not win the tournament, but I don't have to change any rule for that

Me taking over a last place (as an extra reserve) will end at the last place in this tournament of the active players :sick:

I will update the score in one of the next days. The system the original organizer used is clearly not a system that I like O:)

But to my opinion that is simply a consequence of rescuing :mrgreen:

by **PaulusH** on Sat Mar 06, 2010 6:27 pm

Ok we make good progress with this tournament now

Only one active game left: Game 6014026
For the three active players I did put in a score of 4 (that will be the minimum score they will get for that game).

But also when they will get a score of 6 (the max-score) still their total score will stay below 29 :geek:

In the end overlander will be the only person with a total score of 29 and nobody will be higher :ugeek:

As long as that last game continues (or didn't reach turn 1000) the tournament is not finished :sick:

That should give everybody enough time to check their own score and if needed I still can make correction O:)

When there will come no correction request, overlander will be annouched as winner after Game 6014026 is finished or reach turn 1000.

I will not quote Little Witt, but still respond on the remarks.

It is real simple: This is the way this tournament was set up.
I also copied the way the original organizer handled with reserves.
The original part of this tournament can be found here: Tang Kai's Random Travels.
I copied the original first post in the first post here.

I am happy that you helped in rescuing this tournament, by taking one of the reserve spots to be filled.

by **Little Witt** on Thu Mar 11, 2010 10:52 am

well i still don't get why you gave me spot that had no chance at the medal you made my two games that i won point less because after 4 rounds i got last two times and 3rd to last and no 1st 2nd or 3rd so i only had 13 points after round 4 outlander have two or three times that nuch so i had no chance at winning

I am happy now that I didn't quote your earlier two posts

Basically the answer is still the same. The way I managed with reserves is in line with the original organizer and not completely my style. I was hoping that reserves would also simply like to play a good game. Furthermore several reserves were able to win the tournament, it only became less likely (make sure you eliminate the others in the correct order and hope the same happens in other games) :mrgreen:

Not all reserves were able to win the tournament. I also joined as reserve at an impossible place and although I didn't to bad I still became last :roll:

Also from my site I didn't like rescuing a tournament. Therefore no risk that I will follow reserve styles of others in the future :sick:
