Phase one games have been created and invitations sent out.

[Dukasaur]

After Phase One we say goodbye to perchorin, DoomYoshi, and epicgb, who were first out in their respective games.

We also say goodbye to VicFontaine and cyrenius, who are not renewing their premium and are therefore out of contention. Thus musteriuz and ikkewij, who were first eliminated in Game 11224248 and Game 11224247, get saved by a technicality.

[Dukasaur]

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.

Armandolas eliminated.
Game 11460889

Spoiler

2012-08-04 09:30:21 - Dukasaur: Okay, Armandolas was supposed to be in this game, but he missed 4 invites
2012-08-04 09:30:43 - Dukasaur: I finally got in touch with his turn-sitter
2012-08-04 09:31:07 - Dukasaur: The sitter doesn't know for sure when Armand will return, and he's not willing to accept any new invites
2012-08-04 09:31:19 - Dukasaur: Therefore I have no choice but to go on without him
2012-08-04 09:32:32 - Dukasaur: Normally in this situation I resurrect the player who was eliminated in the vanished player's last game
2012-08-04 09:32:59 - Dukasaur: But that player (antcowan) has already been resurrected to cover ANOTHER disappeared player, soccerghost
2012-08-04 09:33:41 - Dukasaur: So I've worked this out as the best solution
2012-08-04 09:34:06 - Dukasaur: I will jump into this game to get it going. I am NOT entering the tournament.
2012-08-04 09:34:37 - Dukasaur: Armandolas counts as the player eliminated from this game, and therefore none of you are in danger of elimination.
2012-08-04 09:35:02 - Dukasaur: However, we still play it out so those who are chasing the GA medal for most wins get a shot at one here.

[Dukasaur]

Both games still trundling along...

Can't believe the one game has gone this long without an elimination. However, 2 players are no longer Premium; if they fail to renew they will be our eliminees for this round.
