We are now FULL and waiting for privies!

All Phase One games have been created and invitations sent out.

Couple very minor glitches. One game had to be remade because I accidentally invited Gabriel instead of Garbriel13. Then, I discovered that azak848 was signed up twice (gotta love a true fan!!!) so our one reserve, kizkiz has already been used, replacing the second instance of azak.

Anyway, welcome to the tournament, and best of luck to everyone!

It's all about the timing

Edit, March 30th: Yesterday we ran into a situation, where someone won a map by the map victory conditions, without anyone having been eliminated. This is a situation I did not foresee when I designed this tournament, but since four of the nine maps have victory conditions, the situation could happen again. We need an emergency rule modification.
New rule: If someone wins a map by the victory conditions, without anyone having been eliminated, that person will automatically proceed to the next round. The remaining players will replay the same map.
The four maps with victory conditions are: Transsib1914 (phase 2), Northwest Passage (phase 3), Conquer Rome (phase 6) and Roark's Drift (phase 7).

We now have an elimination in every game this round. We fondly say goodbye to rjhankey, blindman30, Cyclone23_x, spartan2, and bernooch.

Phase 2
35 players in 5 groups will play 7-player games on the Transsib 1914 map. The first player eliminated in each game is out of the tournament. The remainder will go on to the next round.

Warning: keep in mind that Transsib1914 is one of the maps that has a victory condition.

I'd forgotten that ScootChina's turn sitters notified me that she is off the grid and dropping the tournament. Blindman30 was the one eliminated in the Phase 1 game that Scoot was in, and therefore is back to life.

Yeah, some days not much happens, but we're moving forward all the time...

Eliminees in this phase include DimnjacarStef, kirilko, and moudy.

In Game 11341879, the first player eliminated was uk massive. However, brett2000 seems to have gone off the grid. I'll invite brett2000 into his games just in case he chooses this day for his triumphant return to CC, but I suspect that in 48 hours I'll be recalling uk massive.

[Dukasaur]

Phase 6]
Phase 6
16 players in 2 groups will play 8-player games on the Conquer Rome map. The first player eliminated in each game is out of the tournament. The remainder will go on to the next round.

And I was correct.

uk massive is resurrected.

I guess I'd better be patient. It's tough to eliminate someone in Conquer Rome.

Yup. get them down to their two tribal areas, then hard to remove them from there
