Are you the kind of person who knows that a 3 digit bonus is peanuts?
Are you the kind of person who knows that the game begins at round 25?
Are you the kind of person who knows that you have to use the auto assault because there are not enough seconds in an hour to click through a 15,976 v 13,493 attack?

Is this your kind of insanity?


Then climb on board for a thrill ride to the upper elevations of spoils with 4 and 5 digits.

Screen shots from games I have actually played, so I know this is possible and fun.

Then this tournament is for you.
We will be playing: Conquer Rome
Doubles, four teams on a map at once
Escalating
Chained
Fog Trench

It will be round robin style. (I will firm that up as I see how may teams we actually have.) All will be eight players, four teams each game. The goal is for everyone to play everyone the same number of times. But if we get a lot of teams, I don't intend to give us an absolute, such that we drag this on years. The goal is still to be done within a year.

Although I want to keep things moving my intention is to not let the game load rise above 4. So premium only as this will be a lengthy tournament. In the beginning I will issue a new game every two weeks. After that it will depend on when we have completions. So I am shooting for 4 but one might expect 3, 4, or 5.

We finally have eight teams. So just to be sure before I get priviledges, everyone is still up for playing, yes?

With eight teams, I will be going with eight games. Match ups to be determined by random.org. 1st eight non duplicates that I can generate. I will also be looking to have you play each team twice.

Since these will be long games, I will issue them at a rate of 1 every two weeks, trying not to exceed four in play at one time. (That could for a brief period be 3 , 4, or 5 in play).

Again no playoffs, winner is the one with the most points at the end of the games.


8 points per win, ties are not possible (no round limit)
5 points for 2nd, As most of these games will be decided by winning conditions, second being tied is possible so points will be divided. If 2 teams then 3.5 points ea
2 points for 3rd
Most points wins the tournament.

Games are to be picked up within twenty-four hours. (If you have a sitter please tell them that they are allowed to accept tournament games.) Failure to pick up game will result in your forfeit of that game.

I took an extra week or so getting game 4 out to allow the others to progress more. We have one complete. A couple with some eliminations. So it was time for another game.

Enjoy.

Hope you are enjoying these ridiculous numbers as much as I am.

The team of foxnews and the theGreys has flaked out on us. Not answering pms. So I have been forced to drop them.

Which means we will have some games with only three teams. I will try and make sure that each team ends up with the same number of three and four team games.

The game 4a has been dropped and reissued as a 6 player, doubles.

the games are rumbling on, but it seems otherwise quiet...
Is it not time for a scoreboard update and the issue of the final rounds?

Ciao

Yes it is and had RL not interferred, (house repairs, sick friends, computer replacement, etc), you would have had them.

Apologies.
