I don't have free slots, so I entered just one game in this round, and I won, technically, the other guy was kicked out for missing turns, but he played deploy...

So, does this mean I go on, or I should wait free slots for 2nd/3rd game,

Please, PM about this Mr. HA

Same thing happened to me. Guy was about to beat me for my 3rd loss of the round, and then deadbeated!!! I couldn't believe it.

Round seven is closing up soon. I may make a few doodle games still but not sure. It really depends on deciding who needs make up games due to holidays and such. I am trying to give everyone a chance to get their games in. I did receive many pm's about summer break trips and vacations so I am giving a little more time to join games. Because of my real life schedule I have basically let the last few rounds play longer than normal or at least leave the games up longer than normal. There will not be any more bounties this round. I would say you have until Sunday to join games, and it will take me a few days after that to organize this tourney. Then we can start getting ready for round 8 (which I won't be playing in )

HA, I like the pace of this tourney so far. I think the rounds have lasted the right amount of time. I've been able to finish my games up pretty quickly, but I like having a couple weeks off between tournament games. Probably wouldn't normally, but it seems fitting for a tournament of this size to give people a couple/few weeks to get their games in. I know that I'd certainly appreciate that if (as has happened and will likely happen again) I went on vacation for a week. If this was a democracy, my vote would be for keeping it at the same pace.

saw that 37 games are active in round seven so I will have an announcement soon about round 8

[Qwert]

[wrisky 50]

the same pace is great. And I'm still alive.

[nockerts]

are you going to add any more classic games for this round?

This round is basically over if games are still up and you have not played I suggest getting in them

Round seven is closed out and round 8 starts this early next week as long as all the games are complete

[HighlanderAttack]

Round 8 is upon us. I am taking down round seven games if they have not deleted. Round 8 should start Monday or Tuesday. We have now reached a part of the tourney where I would expect games to be up for no more than seven days. I have to do updates and see how many bounties are left. If games are still up I will leave a few so you may have a short time left to join round seven games, but probably less than a day. EDIT IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS AND THE GAMES HAVE DELETED AUTOMATICALLY--ROUND SEVEN IS OFFICIALLY OVER

[ddgrimes]

have you updated the who is still alive list yet?

thanks

[nandu]

well, i am a few hours away from being eliminated.

so... good bye and good luck to everyone still in.

thanks to HA for hosting/running this tournament!

was my 1st time playing 1v1 so it was an interesting experience.

[HighlanderAttack]

On a side note, Lindax and I are playing an all map series for the fun of it. He is a great player on this site and we have decided to challenge each other on all 185 maps--go here and predict the winner. If you predict the exact score you will win a three month premium.

In Please

[HighlanderAttack]

In Please

In what?

[Qwert]

lol golum want in

[jbrettlip]

lol golum want in

i guess that is an easier way in than playing in the first 7 rounds!

[Tviorr]

Getting excited for round 8. Cant be long now. 8 active games left and 6 looks to be over in 1-2 rounds.

Going to go have a lie down so my adrenalin kick doesnt bust something

[Tviorr]

2 games.

One foggy thats a bit hard to call, but looks like a fair sized advantage from the region count.

And 1 that Major Pain should have probably already won and still will win, although it may take 2 or 3 rounds now that he has stacked 23 units on Missile Launch and passed the turn

[wrisky 50]

How many players are left in this that I have to beat to win??

[Tviorr]

Too many to get excited just yet

You could just turn this into a policy. Just let every round end when the games auto-delete... that will create a natural time limit that you don't have to artificially enforce.

he is doing this as a courtesy to the freemiums, so they can play a game and see how it goes. Due to limited slots they often have 1 slot free, not 3...
And to those players who play only 1 game a round but want to get to the next round too...

[knubbel]

Some stats:
Players
round1: 2507
round2: 2057 -> 82% of round1
round3: 1687 -> 82% of round2
round4: 1398 -> 83% of round3
round5: 1147 -> 82% of round4
round6: 932 -> 81% of round5
round7: 776 -> 83% of round6

so about 82% advancing each round.
if we continue like that the winner will be found in round x:
2507*0,82^(x-1)=1
x=ln(1/2507)/ln(0,82)+1= 40,43

We already played 7 rounds, so we just have to play more or less 33 rounds to find the winner

[VicFontaine]

That is one of the most profitable and applicable uses of mathematics I have ever seen. Thank you!

[rom_tobins]

Well i think things shall end slightly faster then that. It's not hard to win a game when you have 3 tries, but as things go on the less skilled players tend to disappear. Some players will be finding it harder and harder to get by. i say another 15 or so rounds
