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.

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

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

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

by **HighlanderAttack** on Thu Jul 14, 2011 5:28 am

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

thanks

by **nandu** on Fri Jul 15, 2011 10:50 am

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.

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.

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

by **Tviorr** on Mon Jul 18, 2011 4:40 pm

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

by **Tviorr** on Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:16 pm

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 ;-)

by **wrisky 50** on Wed Jul 20, 2011 10:02 am

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

by **Tviorr** on Wed Jul 20, 2011 3:37 pm

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...

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

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

by **rom_tobins** on Sat Jul 23, 2011 4:57 pm

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
