Perception is strong and sight weak. In strategy it is important to see distant things as if they were close and to take a distanced view of close things. -Myamoto Musashi

killmanic, topper, Bones2484, RoOkAz, and DimnjacarStef have been schooled in the techinique of the two swords as one...

Besides topper, daydream has lost his passion to write and therefore will never win the literature prize

graulenst was the first one eliminated in his game so he is out of the competition. His book will bever be completed.

Refresh your browser if you can't see updated "scoreboard" on page 1

We're waiting one more game to end before we can move on to Step 2. Sadly, as I've picked it to be foggy then there's no way that I can tell how far they are with finishing the game and I doubt that they are willing to tell me

Refresh your browser if you can't see updated "scoreboard" on page 1

From each 6 Step 1 games we have all first drop outs and I'm sad to say but following books were and will never be written:

daydream (People with blue hair are better lovers by Olaf Mitender)
topper (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig)
Gozar (Conquering the World and Other Recipes by Chef Art Vandalay)
graulenst (Hells Angels by Hunter S. Thompson)
kbman (The Do's and Don'ts of Dictartorship by King KBMan the Third)
cougfan82 (Playing for Pizza by John Grisham)

I feel that the world and this tournament have lost some important literature but that's the harsh world of CC

Step 2 will begin as last game of Round 1 begins. Then I will also form games for 2nd round because then I'll get "freshest" points

amazzony · Post by **amazzony** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 7:15 pm

Step 2 games have been made and I'll be sending out messages shortly. Also, updated "scoreboard" is in post 1 but there's nothing interested in it

You accidentally made 2 game 2's...

Thanks! I actually know that I did but I forgot to drop one (the wrong 1)

amazzony · Post by **amazzony** » Wed Apr 30, 2008 10:51 am

Reminder has been sent to the person who hasn't joined the last open spot in Step 2. Otherwise it seems that Step 2 is starting without problems.

I'll be mostly very busy during weekend so if I don't respond PMs then know that you'll get everything answered next week.

Cheers,
amazzony

amazzony · Post by **amazzony** » Mon May 05, 2008 2:55 pm

RoOkAz has been replaced with MEK.

Other games are active and in one game (number 4) we have our first drop out: Kotaro. Thanks for playing with us!

Cheers,

lord voldemort sweeps all, Dimnjacar first out.

amazzony · Post by **amazzony** » Thu May 08, 2008 6:16 am

Thanks for the result

Besides DimnjacarStef, we have another 3 dropouts: joshsoccer7, Kotaro and jennifermarie. Only 1 game hasn't had its first elimination. Though it doesn't have much importance in overall speed of the tournament because Step 3 will not start before all round 2 games will end.

Miyamoto Musashi wrote: If the opponent expects the sea, give him the mountains. If he expects the mountains, give him the sea.

joshsoccer7, killmanic, White Moose, Bones2484 and Erland fought mountains while the sea crept up on them.

In game 3, Lobster Crush has been eliminated first. Now we have to wait until all games end before we can move on to Step 3.

gdeangel, nice one

I'm leaving for the weekend in a few hours so all questions will be answered on Monday.

Have a nice weekend,

I won this one.

All Step 2 games have ended and it is time to say thanks for trying and better luck next time to:

joshsoccer7 (Taking Over the World by Joshsoccer7)
DimnjacarStef (How to lose 700 points in 3 weeks by Dimnjacar Stef)
Lobster Crush (Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie)
Kotaro (Empty Streets by Kotaro (Fuma))
jennifermarie (Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen)

Step 3 games are made and will be sent out after I finish this message

So far things have been easy, you had to survive long enough and not be the first one eliminated to get to next round. This Step is harder - to advance to Step 4, to finals, you have to win your game.

Play fair, play nice and enjoy!

4 games have started, last player who hasn't joined yet has received a reminder. If he doesn't join the Group 3 Step 2 dropout will get a 2nd chance.

amazzony · Post by **amazzony** » Mon May 26, 2008 2:44 am

manoman (Step 3, Game 3) has been replaced with Lobster Crush (Step 2, Game 3 dropout). Hopefully last game can start soon

amazzony · Post by **amazzony** » Wed May 28, 2008 2:46 am

All games of Step 3 have started

No eliminations yet. Though remember - only winner of the game advances to finals!

amazzony · Post by **amazzony** » Fri May 30, 2008 10:46 am

All games still active, nobody out yet. I guess No Cards might of not been the best pick
