It didn't help that thedogdakdes deatbeated out of all of them. Someone missing turns always slows down the games so much.

Makes sense, hopefully he will play better now on (though, I only see him deadbeating out of 1 game, in others he seems around).

After I said that, I realized that he only deadbeated out of one, but has missed multiple turns in most of them. Plus, there have been a number of other players missing turns, which always slows games down.

Like you said, missing turns slows down games anyway so your statement was still right

Anyways, hopefully there will be less turn missing in the future.... At least on the biggest map

Nightmare, Act 2. Sooo, good news, sort of

Most games have finished, except 1 on Texan Wars (should be over shortly) and the 4 Supermax games. Nightmare and Overall Experience scoreboard have been update, latter with only groups that have finished all their games in this act.

Bringing out the games to keep an eye on if you are worried about keeping your slots open: Game 7117567 - Game 7117568 - Game 7117571 - Game 7117573.

Nightmare, Act 2. 3 games (Supermax) are still active, we have to wait for those to end. And as a side note, I'll be more or less away this week which means no updates until next week but not before all games of this act are over.

Draggin' along the games that are still active in this act: Game 7117568 - Game 7117571 - Game 7117573.

Nightmare, Act 2. Supermax games still active, can't move on before they end

by **amazzony** on Fri Jul 23, 2010 8:45 am

Nightmare, Act 2. Just 2 games left in this act, after that moving on

Game 7117568 and Game 7117571.

Edit. I just noticed that Chupa_Vampy will be the lowest scoring player this round so I've sent him a message asking for the settings that are going to be used for next round. As soon as he lets me know his choice, we'll be moving on to Act 3.

by **amazzony** on Sun Jul 25, 2010 6:54 am

Checked and updated!

by **amazzony** on Fri Jul 30, 2010 1:58 pm

Nightmare, Act 3. 2nd act is finally over and I've update scoreboards accordingly. Kurast Dock games will be sent out shortly after I finish writing this message. In act 3, lowest overall experience player, Chupa_Vampy, has picked settings for everybody and they can be found under Nightmare post on the first page.

Nightmare, Act 3. I was very pleasantly surprised when I noticed that only 1 game of this Act hasn't started

The one game will have to wait a bit, wercool has notified me that he is stuck in another game and as soon as it ends, he'll join the 4th game. So, thank you everybody for getting to your games so fast and nicely

Just an early-early warning to everybody. As soon as all freemiums have been eliminated in the games of Act 3, I will set up games for Act 4 because these games won't be affected by the results of this round.

by **amazzony** on Sat Aug 07, 2010 11:07 am

Nightmare, Act 3. All 24 games of this Act are active now. None finished nor with eliminations yet.

by **amazzony** on Tue Aug 17, 2010 12:57 pm

Nightmare, Act 3. All 24 games still active, with a few eliminations by now though.

Quote of previous update suits here:

Nightmare, Act 3. First game has finished. So, just 23 games to finish

by **amazzony** on Fri Aug 27, 2010 2:57 am

Nightmare, Act 3. There's 23 games active like last time but it seems that more eliminations have happened since last time I checked

by **amazzony** on Wed Sep 01, 2010 6:07 am

Nightmare, Act 3. Out of 24 games, 4 have now finished and most of the other games have eliminations. Keep playing, keep winning!

Don't worry, I understand, it's a long tournament for a freemium to go through.

Nightmare, Act 3. growler has also dropped out (he went freemium) and I've decided to remove thedoggdakdes as his connection is lagging way too much (he keeps missing turns and has deadbeated out of several games in the last 2 acts). Edit. Zarg78 also deadbeated out of his games, therefore he has also been removed from the tournament.

All of this means that I will cut down Act 4 of Nightmare to 5 groups. Like I did after Act 1, lowest scoring players will be put to reserve list as I don't think it's fair to bring in new players in such a late stage of the tournament.

There's still 12 active games left which will end... who knows when. So, lets keep waiting and hoping that they will end soon. If there are very clear stalemates (I'll check through the games at some point) then I will figure out some tiebreaking options to keep the tournament moving. Edit. Right now it seems that most games are able to finish without outside poking so I'll give them another month or so to finish them. After that, I'm afraid I'll work out something to move on with the tournament.

I will also update the scoreboard soon as half of the games of this act are done. I'll edit this post and make a note about it when it's done.

Edit. Scoreboards have been updated, both Overall Experience (includes only groups that have finished all games in the act) and Nightmare (includes only finished games).
