• Act 2 of Normal is finally fully active (some games finishing already).
• Act 1 still has 2 active games (group 1 and group 3 both have 1 game left to finish).
• For now, we have to wait all currently active games (act 1 and 2) to end before we move on to Act 3.

Whew. I just saved my ass in this tournament (early) with that Lut Gholein round. Funny. Act 2 was always my least favorite. Duriel was a little bitch to solo.

Anyways. Our group's set is done, ZZ.

I used to like Lut Gholein until we reached to Hell with my 2 friends (2 Sorceress' and 1 Necromancer) because Necro kept "freelancing" and left us 2 poor Sorce's all alone which meant constant running and screaming like girls as we couldn't deal with all the lighting and the fact that meteors never landed on time and bunch of creatures were immune to my lighting Well, I had the right to whine about it but the other Sorceress was a guy Ooh, good times, miss them

Anyways. I guess there's a good reason to update scoreboard, I'll try to do it today/tomorrow.

[amazzony]

Scoreboards have been updated though the overall experience board contains only points for groups that have fully finished an act (on the gameboard it's marked with + after group number).

[amazzony]

Normal gameboard and overall scoreboard is updated! I will most likely not update it again once all Act 1 & 2 games are done because I don't have too much time to go through the process of updating it But, I might have time so we'll see how things go

Gameboard and scoreboard updated! There's just 2 games left to finish - one from both acts. Well, now I have to figure out if we need those to end for moving on to act 3 or not. If we don't need them to end then I'll contact the weakest player after first 2 acts to see how he/she wishes to change the setting of the strongest player. AND then I'll make Act 3 games. If we can't be sure of the weakest/strongest player then we have to wait for the last 2 games to end before we can move on.

Edit (5 minutes later). We need to wait at least Game 6383841 to end before we know who the weakest player is. It's clear that Theldin is the strongest player and as he is Assassin then it's clear that Game Type will be changed for everybody and weakest player will decide if it'll be either Standard or Terminator.

Edit 2. Experience scoreboard is a bit screwed up, I've forgotten a few things Overall experience is correct but the middle columns are wrongly named and some are missing.

Edit 3. Scoreboard fixed, everything in order now

[amazzony]

Though there's still 1 game left to finish (Game 6220843) then it is clear that after 2 acts Theldin has gained the most points and shadowjoe the least. Therefore, shadowjoe decides if all Act 3 games will be either Standard or Termintor. As soon as he has sent me his wish, I'll create Act 3 games (though, knowing my next couple of days - most likely games will come out on Sunday).

[amazzony]

shadowjoe hasn't answered me about his preference so I've decided to give him another 12 or so hours and after that I have to replace him from the tournament because he isn't following the format. Apologies about the delay, I will try to get everything in order in the next 24-48 hours

[amazzony]

Shadowjoe has decided that all games will be Standard for the next Act. I'll start preparing games so wait for them in the next hour or so.

[amazzony]

If you are interested in the overall games and progress of Normal (round 1) then here's a link. It's like 4th or 5th post on page one, otherwise you can access it through index which is at the top of the introduction post but thought I'll make a shortcut here also

So, currently we are in Act 3 though there's still 1 bunch of players left behind in Act 1 but as there's only premiums then I'm sure they don't mind if we move on. I will send out games shortly, please try to join them as soon as possible, especially those who are playing No Spoils Doodle and Flat Rate Actium this round

Enjoy the games, please play aggressively and lets try to avoid stalemate games

[amazzony]

Supposesublys will be replacing KidWhisky, starting from Act 4 because KW is on a real life adventure and therefore drops out from all the tournaments he currently is in. I didn't catch fast enough that he is playing in this one so couldn't do the replacement in Act 3 already.

In other news, I've sent out a bunch of reminder-invites and after 48 hours will make replacements if it comes in need.

[amazzony]

I can't wait any longer and therefore I had to make 2 replacements who have already received their game invites:

• superkeener [replacement for Phlayer]
• thedoggdakdes [replacement for SalvatoreLuciano]

Hopefully the games of groups 3 and 4 will begin really soon. Also, 1 game in group 7 will have to wait a bit longer to begin due to open spot issue. As I don't see it delaying the tournament then I've given extra days for Chupa_Vampy to join the 4th game.

[amazzony]

Both reserves have accepted their place and this means that only waiting game in Act 3 is for group 7. It will begin as soon as possible but not a moment before, some patience please

[amazzony]

Gameboard (Normal) and Overall Experience scoreboard have been updated because the last game of Act 1 finished and it makes the first 2 acts finally fully updated. There are some lonely kills in Act 3 but I haven't added them to scoreboard yet, will do it when some games of Act 3 end and there's something interesting to see from the scoreboard

[Bones2484]

All of our set is finished for Act 3. Two more 1sts and two 3rd place finishes should push me higher!

[amazzony]

Yep, thanks! Will update scoreboard soon, waiting on the Arms Race group to finish, too (they should have 1 game left).

[amazzony]

Gameboard of Normal and overall Experience scoreboard updated! Groups 4 and 5 have finished all their games in Act 3, no other group has finished any of the games yet.

[amazzony]

I won't be around much for the next 5-6 days so until next Thursday (March 25) there's no updates. As a note for future, you'll probably get to read more of these messages in the next 6 months so the speed of tournament might slow down due to that. Don't think that this time my absence will be an issue, we'll see when I return and hopefully I'll have a reason to update scoreboard then

[amazzony]

I'll take a deeper look to the tournament later when I get home and if there's enough finished games then I'll update scoreboard. If there isn't then I'll return back here in a couple of days when more games have ended.

[amazzony]

Overall experience scoreboard and Normal gameboard have been updated! I've counted points for all finished games.3 groups have finished, 3 are going to finish sooner or later and the Flat Actium group is... well, playing For now, those who have finished just wait and if you are a freemium player then don't bother keeping slots open, just don't end up in stalemate games

[amazzony]

Overall experience scoreboard and Normal gameboard have been updated! Most groups have finished in Act 3, only group 3 (4 games on Actium Flat) and group 7 (2 escalating on Gazala) are active. The Flat games might take forever to finish so I've decided that as soon as group 7 finishes their games (should take appr. 3-4 weeks) we'll move on to Act 4 and I can only hope that the premium members of group 3 won't start a riot against me because they need to play (most likely) 8 games instead of 4 at once.

[amazzony]

Normal - Act 3

We still have the 4 Actium Flat games active with only a couple of eliminations so it's quite clear that we won't wait for those games to end before moving on to next act. Looking how the last Gazala game has moved then I've decided that April 12 is the date when I'll create Act 4 games. So, please get 4 open spots for that time or make sure that you are around to continue the tournament. If there's something that might cause complications, drop me a line, please.
