OK, the tourney is full up and we have enough reserves, I believe, to move forward. I am waiting on tournament privileges and when I get them game assignments will be sent out. I'll send them out first as invites and then as PMs if necessary. Good Luck to all the competitors!

Please modify the title of your tourney. "Natural Born Killers" has already been taken.

This tournament is for all the Darwin junkies out there. You are required to kill to survive. Not for the faint of heart nor slow of reflex!

All non-Recruits are welcome to join. You will only be playing one game at a time in this tourney.

Settings for All Games: Random Map, Terminator, Freestyle, Manual Deployment, Escalating, Unlimited Reinforcements, Foggy

The tournament will start with 72 players divided randomly (using random.org) into 12 games of 6 players each. In order to advance to the next round a player must make at least one elimination, regardless of the eventual winner. After all games in a round have finished, all players who made a kill in the previous round will be resorted into games of no more than 6 players. This means that the number of players in each game may not be equal for all games, but will always be within one. For example, if 28 out of the original 72 make a kill in the first round, the second round will consist of three games of 6 players each, and two games of 5 players each.

The tournament will last as many rounds as are needed. If there are only 6 players left, but 3 of them make a kill in their game, then another game between those 3 players will be played.

All players will have 48 hours to join Round 1 games and 24 hours to join subsequent round games. Those who do not join will be replaced by a reserve in the first round and eliminated from the tournament in all other rounds. All deadbeats will be eliminated from the tournament regardless of whether or not they got a kill first.

I will PM game assignments, but will be posting all updates here. Also, this is my first attempt at hosting a tournament, so if I left anything out please let me know!

i will be reserve

[squishyg]

i'll be a reserve as well

[Pyrhhus]

My apologies to the game which has not yet started. Apparently 5 reserves was insufficient so I started up a separate reserve thread to snag one more person. If anyone knows anyone who would like to play, tell them to PM me or reply to either thread. Thanks for your patience, I hope to be fully underway soon.

Round 1, game 5

Still waiting on a player, think we've been waiting on him for a few days now. Can we have a reserve so we can start soon (the drawbacks of freemium, having a gamespot filled for a waiting for players game is quite a drawback!)

Ta,

Actually, the two people who was supposed to be in your game originally were both Premium members who just never showed nor replied to any of my attempts at communication. smix and squishyg are both reserves so be sure to thank them heartily.

Game 6 of Round 1 is over. I'm the only one who advanced

[Pyrhhus]

Well game 11 isn't over (stupid Hive), but since both players left have made a kill we can move on to Round 2.

Twenty-two remain of our original 71, so the first twelve players after I randomize the list will go into games of 6 and the other ten will go into games of 5. Hopefully my alternating between spelling numbers out and using the numerals hasn't confused you too much and good luck in Round Two!

[Pyrhhus]

And then there were 10. Round three will consist of 2 games of five.

[smix]

I just saw that you updated the tourney to the 3rd round and wanted to know if you gave out the invites.
thx

[Pyrhhus]

We are now down to just one game. Getting serious now.

[whakamole]

Indeed... best of luck to all (as long as I get my kill)

Any chance you have numbers on how many kills all the participants made? I'm not requesting you go back through, but if the number is handy it might be fun to see esp for those still playing.

Fun tourney, I think its a great use of the Terminator format. Thanks pyrhhus.

I'll second that. thanks pyrhhus.

[Pyrhhus]

Well the battle is over and the war is won...by whakamole! I would like to extend a hearty thanks to all the participants with a special commendation going out to longboreder for racking up the most kills.

I do plan to run some tournaments in the future, but not very soon as this summer is pretty busy for me. Thanks again and may all your rolls be sixes!
