UPDATE 2008-08-06 (2)

The first European game has finished today. The Poland [game]2964275[/game] was won by Master Yoda (POL), who will be representing Poland in the second stage European qualifiers. Beauty Monique (POL) was unfortunately the first European to leave the Tourney as she was eliminated in Round 6.

After some work the Finland [game]2961985[/game] finally started. Padisova (FIN) who wasn't online for a long time, merirosvo (FIN) who still is too busy with other games and Urban85 (FIN) who joined just after Jantti85 (FIN) and then dropped the game were replaced by some good players: Elite_Penguin (FIN), Major Gauntlet (FIN) and float (FIN). Thank you guys for joining!

japser_be (BEL) replaces daany (BEL) in the Belgium [game]2962938[/game] and nymdespana (ITA) replaces rosper75 (ITA) in the Italy [game]2963136[/game]. So this brings the total number of games that still are awaiting players down to 21.

Great news: nban (IND) did his first turn ! [game]2967091[/game]. So if you have put your money on risk it all (USA) to be the first one eliminated for missing too many rounds, you have a good chance to win the micro-wave oven.

UPDATE 2008-08-07 (1)

As Muleyak (USA) joined for the United States Group 2 [game]2961531[/game] all US games are in progress. Thanks to all Americans, as there were only little problems, for joining these games.

The Uruguay [game]2967240[/game] has finally started as rodrigopel (URU) finally joined and I replaced sergiosh (URU) with colonel neil (TRI). The Trinidad player signed up too late for the Trinidad & Tobago game and as he wanted to be a reserve he can take his chance in this game. By the way, I don't know where to place Trinidad. Is it South America or like the other Caribbean Islands North America.

The 8-player Portugal [game]2961290[/game] finally started as MadRMax (POR) luckily joined just in time. Eduardo da Silva (CRO) joined the Croatia game, still 1 player needed here. The Serbia [game]2964179[/game] has begun as jela (SRB) replaces Red Jack (SRB) who ignored my reminder. Australian in Singapore codyjd (SIN) is in the Tourney as after reminders we already waited too long for shawntrevis (SIN) and Tommy Tucker (SIN) to join.

risk it all (USA) is busy trying deadbeating in [game]2961661[/game].

Sovsotif (DEN) is becoming favourite in the Denmark [game]2962012[/game] as he eliminated zuxsion (DEN) in Round 4.

UPDATE 2008-08-07 (2)

I'm happy that I can tell you that the Tournament already has done a good job. The Slovenes in [game]2964139[/game] really found eachother and they are organizing their own League / Tourney: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=58791#p1498245

Only 12 games left that are waiting for players. The Belgium & Italy [game]2962993[/game] has now 4 Italians and 2 Belgians as major MEP (ITA) replaced Bennyke (BEL). The Spain [game]2963058[/game] just started as another major Hesoos (ESP) from Asturias replaces Sinfocito (ESP) who hasn't been online for few weeks. And this definitely is a major update as I also arranged major fakoman (CRO) to get the Croatian [game]2963520[/game] completed. I luckily found 2 other Macedonians SWeko (MKD) and KREPA (MKD) to replace Ditka (MKD) and stevkov (MKD) in the Rep. of Macedonia [game]2966846[/game]. French Singaporian nykhone (SIN) was helpful to become the last player to join the Singapore [game]2967342[/game]. homelessguy65 (NZL) is down to 10 active games, so 7 left to go before he can join.

In the Argentina [game]2967454[/game] captain magoya (ARG) has been eliminated in Round 2. Bad luck for the only Premium player in this game.

Fellow tournament organizer Lufsen75 (SWE) plays very well in the Sweden [game]2961953[/game] as he already conquered 2 "continents" and 5 cards.

No probs Iron Maid...
although looking @ a map you would swear we are part of south america but historically and politically we are part the lesser antillies i.e. the windward islands (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windward_Islands) hence you will also note in C&C map we are also grouped as such!
So we are definitely part of the greater caribbean basin! if you want to think of it in terms of sport (e.g. world cup football n.b. like the rest of the world we don't call it soccer) we are usually grouped within the central and north american regionals but for the purpose of the tourney i think ( i assumed) we were going to play against the other central american countries
despite our native language being english
while central america native language is spanish ! (we don't see that as a prob)
any more questions feel free to ask !

Illegal entry in Olympic Tournament

Post by Iron Maid »

Unfortunately I have to disqualify 2 players in the Olympic Tournament.

Here is the message I have sent to the players of the Caribbean Islands [game]2968154[/game] and Tournament Directors Night Strike & Optmus Prime and to jackupton (ISV).

Iron Maid wrote:Hello,

as 2 entries from the British Virgin Islands & the US Virgin Islands didn't show up for the Q1 Caribbean Islands [game]2968154[/game] of the Olympic Tournament I contacted some other Caribbeans for a replacement. I gave the password to 2 of them which replied on my PM: maximuss of Antigua & Barbuda and jackupton of the US Virgin Islands.

Unfortunately jackupton couldn't take the spot as another Antiguan player pope john paul got in. This player must have had the password from maximuss, as I didn't contact pope john paul.

It is not done to give passwords to other players without contacting the host. Therefore both maximuss and pope john paul will be disqualified for the Tournament. jackupton will be given a chance in a new game which has to be created yet.

It's sad that this happened in a Tournament which takes a lot of time and efforts to organize.

Regards,

As mentioned in previous message 2 players have been disqualified for the Tourney. A new game will be created later to replace the Caribbean Islands [game]2968154[/game].

American player risk it all (USA) leaves the Tourney because of missing too may turns in [game]2961661[/game]. Better not join a Tournament if you are going to deadbeat!

In the Belgian [game]2962938[/game] Tichke (BEL) eliminated BlAckICE (BEL) in Round 5, but it seems that cadet Qorten (BEL) has the best chances to win the game as he both conquered West Netherlands & North Netherlands.

In the Bulgaria & Greece [game]2963619[/game] greek entry psaxnoulis (GRE) killed Lucifer4o (BUL) in Round 4.

With merodac (AUT) I already found 1 player for replacing the Hardy brothers in The Alps [game]2964101[/game]. The Hungary [game]2964332[/game] finally started as pitemeister (HUN) replaced EuGenius (HUN). Shai (ISR) replaces n1a1d1 (ISR) so the Israelians can also make their first moves in the Tourney. The Japanese & Koreans in [game]2967203[/game] started as Holis (KOR) replaces Flabbus (JPN).

Only 8 players for 8 different games have to join now. And I'll have to see how to create a new game for the Caribbean Islands.

Post by Iron Maid »

The last Canadian [game]2967030[/game] finally started as colonel Asclepio (CAN) from Vancouver was willing to take over the spot of poolshark (CAN). thecrazy1 (GER) was replaced by GROND 2cd. (GER) in the Germany [game]2963767[/game]. In The Alps [game]2964101[/game] speckknoedelsup (AUT) joined merodac (AUT) to replace Jeff Hardy (AUT) & Matt Hardy (AUT) to fight for the Austrian spot in the next stage. In Hong Kong [game]2967565[/game] xiaotian (HKG) replaces hk2007 (HKG).

South Africa has really good competitors as FATHARRY (RSA) replaces cjoe (RSA) in the South Africa Group 1 [game]2968235[/game]. With FATHARRY (RSA), the highest ranked South African on CC, we have now already all top 4 South Africans of Conquer Club in our Tourney. As 5 more South Africans wanted to join after the replacement PM for cjoe (RSA), I decided to create an extra game for them with 5 players [game]3014449[/game] in which the best 2 players also will qualify. A big 8 player game in the second qualifying stage will then decide who will become South Africas representive in the Main Tourney.

Another new game which had to be created is the Honduras & Caribbean Islands [game]3012149[/game] which replaces the cancelled Caribbean Islands [game]2968154[/game].

The South Africa Group 3 [game]2968713[/game] ended as C_FOUR (RSA) eliminated Arcane100 (RSA) and major musteriuz (RSA) both in Round 9. The major is lucky as he was eliminated just after Arcane100 (RSA) and so will advance as a runner-up to the second stage.

In the China [game]2967324[/game] Joodoo (CHN) & Shu (CHN) are already qualified as the other 4 opponents were eliminated in Rounds 5 & 6.

amhowie (NZL) is the first New Zealand player who leaves the Tourney as he has been eliminated by Me-Da-MiNoRiTY (NZL) in Round 7 of the New Zealand Group 1 [game]2968100[/game]

UPDATE 2008-08-09 (2)

Post by Iron Maid »

The newly created Honduras & Caribbean Islands [game]3012149[/game] started with new entries wijotoma (HON) from Honduras, US Virgin jackupton (ISV) and Antiguan dcozyone (ANT). Last player in the game is dcozyslayer (ANT) who's already in his second game as he also was in the Caribbean Islands [game]2968154[/game] in which 2 other Antiguans were disqualified and the game was cancelled for the Tourney.

Another new game started as I created an extra game for the South Africans that all wanted to play as replacement for cjoe (RSA). In this new [game]3014449[/game] the best 2 will qualify to face 7 other South Africans in the 2nd stage for one ticket to the Main Event.

Also the Other Africa & Oceania [game]2968732[/game] started. After days of swimming in the river Nile, crawling through the Sahara Desert and climbing the Kilimanjaro no one from Africa could help me to replace Egyptian Himawaw (EGY). So Jordan major riskconquerer (JOR) was allowed to take the free spot. And we are back to 75 countries again! (It were temporarily 74 as British Virgin thenikfox (BVI) was replaced earlier.)

MEK (USA) was eliminated by lukethespy (USA) in Round 5 of the United States Group 6 [game]2961708[/game]. With 5 cards and holding the Southwest lukethespy (USA) is one of the favourites for this game.

In the North Central American [game]2967704[/game] Nicaraguan Sid Caracas (NCA) did a good job by eliminating Guatemalan pps (GUA) in Round 8. As the other 2 remaining players are both from Honduras, Sid Caracas (NCA) automatically has a ticket to the next stage, as the best 2 players from different countries qualify.

Cadet Qorten (BEL) is definitely the most dangerous player now in the Belgium [game]2962938[/game] as he has eliminated captain japser_be (BEL) in Round 6.

At the Iran & Indian Subcontinent [game]2967091[/game] leyla (IRI) eliminated only Sri Lankan player risky4me (SRI) in Round 5. It seems she doesn't understand that her chances for qualification are bigger when she eliminates the other Iranians first.

Highest ranked player in the Tourney Me-Da-MiNoRiTY (NZL) was eliminated by n8dog (NZL) in Round 7 of the New Zealand Group 1 [game]2968100[/game]. The remaining 3 players are secured now to go to the 2nd qualification round. Russian Colonel Beadle (RUS) who's ranked 59 is now the highest ranked player that is still active in the Tourney.

Fortworthian (USA) & JohnTheBrit (FRA) were kicked out for missing too may turns and definitely deserve their spot in the Hall of Shame.

I don't know what kind of "Fiesta" they had in South America last couple of days as DColodro (CHL), deego86 (CHL) and Colombian Falkomagno (COL) all missed their turns. No other news from the Americas in this update.

The Netherlands [game]2961234[/game] still hasn't started as we all wait for dupke (NED). If dupke (NED) doesn't show up after this weekend, I will search for replacement.

The Macedonians in [game]2966846[/game] already advanced to Round 6 after less than 3 days of playing. SWeko (MKD) looks to be the favourite here.

And again we have a winner: Bulgarian captain eorg (BUL) eliminated his countrymen BagwellTheGreat (BUL) and mrstoyanov (BUL) in Round 5 of the Bulgaria & Greece [game]2963619[/game] to become the Bulgarian entry for the second stage. It's up to the Greek players now to fight for the Greek spot.

And another game ended as n8dog (NZL) eliminated nomadicchris (NZL) in Round 8 and lkmgray (NZL) in Round 9 to be the winner of the New Zealand Group 1 [game]2968100[/game]. Nevertheless all 3 will advance to the next stage.

The other New Zealand game (Group 2) is still waiting for homelessguy65 (NZL) to join. He's down to 8 active games now. So still 5 to go.

Sorry, no new recruits in the Tourney. New Recruits that signed up before were all a pain in the ass. Suspected multis or they didn't show up after I allowed them to play when they had a rank (in the case of Creampie (GBR)).

In the Great Britain Group 2 [game]2961364[/game] drake_259 (GBR) looks to be favourite as he already received 3 times the bonus for holding Ireland.

The Romania [game]2961340[/game] advances slowly in Round 3 as both DarkMalkin (ROM) & Snowborder34 (ROM) missed their turns.

After 10 Rounds the Slovenia [game]2964139[/game] looks very balanced. All 5 players still have chances to win.

pittman (IND) was leyla's (IRI) next victim as she eliminated him in Round 6 of the Iran & Indian Subcontinent [game]2967091[/game].

The China [game]2967324[/game] finished in Round 7 with the elimination of Shu (CHN) by Joodoo (CHN). Both players qualified.

English jademagon (THA) living in Thailand eliminated LGM830 (MYA) from Belfast, who's living in Myanmar, in Round 8 of the South East Asia [game]2967598[/game]. This means that Italian in Cambodia cinematic (CAM) automatically qualified to the second stage.

In Round 8 of the United States Group 8 [game]2961791[/game] Lexitonia5 (USA) eliminated Cypress333 (USA). This game is still not decided yet, but ralphcptc (USA) with 5 cards and holding the West probably has the biggest chances at the moment.

Beautheser (BRA) has been eliminated by danyboy (BRA) in Round 8 of the Brazil [game]2967724[/game].

Elite_Penguin (FIN) is the first victim in the Finland [game]2961985[/game]. jezerai (FIN) eliminated him in Round 4.

jaruler (GBR) is the first British player to leave the Tourney as he has been eliminated by John Price (GBR) in Round 7 of the Great Britain Group 2 [game]2961364[/game].

Survivor (CRO) didn't survive (haha, what a joke) Round 4 of the Croatia [game]2963520[/game] as Zagreb's Natali (CRO) eliminated him.

It's now between psaxnoulis (GRE) and andreas1977 (GRE) for the Greek spot, as andreas eliminated major gdok (GRE) in Round 6 of the Bulgaria & Greece [game]2963619[/game].

With the elimination of Pringleplace (RSA) in Round 12, scholtz (RSA) got himself and MrOpolo (RSA) a ticket to Stage 2. scholtz (RSA) has almost won this South Africa Group 2 [game]2968265[/game].

goozook (IRI) eliminated nban (IND) and Digibomb (IND) eliminated goozbeh (IRI) both in Round 7 of the Iran & Indian Subcontinent [game]2967091[/game]. Digibomb (IND) now is automatically qualified as he is the only non-Iranian left in the game.

In Round 8 of the South East Asia [game]2967598[/game] Holland's conimex (THA) living in Thailand was eliminated by British Didda (THA) who has to fight other British jademagon (THA) for the Thailand ticket to Stage 2.

New Zealand Group 2 [game]2968128[/game] has begun now as I replaced homelessguy65 (NZL), who has too many games running that probably will not end soon enough to have a slot open for the Tourney. Major Begbie (NZL) from the Southern Island replaces him.

In Round 4 of the United States Group 4 [game]2961600[/game] TaCktiX (USA) made some tactical moves to eliminate Ajna (USA). Another victim in the USA is brhsoccer14 (USA) who didn't survive Round 6 of the United States Group 7 [game]2961755[/game]. Terminator: Funkelee (USA).

Costa Rican abarbaro (CRC) eliminated greenhouse (PAN) from Panama in Round 6 of the Costa Rica & Panama [game]2967400[/game].

In Belgium [game]2962938[/game] former favourite Qorten (BEL) was eliminated in Round 13 by Hoofdschudder (BEL), which can be translated as 'Headbanger'.

SWeko (MKD) looks fav to me as he ended the ambitions of KREPA (MKD) in Round 12 of the Rep. of Macedonia [game]2966846[/game].

The Bulgaria & Greece [game]2963619[/game] ended in Round 13 with the elimination of psaxnoulis (GRE) from Athens. eorg (BUL) won the game and is going to represent Bulgaria in the next round. psaxnoulis (GRE) qualified as Greek entry when he eliminated other Athens player Andreas1977 (GRE) in Round 11.

South Africa Group 2 [game]2968265[/game] finished in Round 14. scholtz (RSA) indeed won the game and qualifies together with MrOpolo (RSA) to the second qualifying stage.

In the Lebanon & United Arab Emirates [game]2967527[/game] DeserRatinDubai (UAE) was eliminated in Round 7 by chac (LIB) who's in Qatar at the moment. Qatar is the nicest country in the world starting with Q.

The Iran & Indian Subcontinent [game]2967091[/game] ended in Round 10 with the elimination of 'terminatrix' leyla (IRI) by goozook (IRI). Both players from Iran qualified together with India's Digibomb (IND) who ended 4th. Number 3 of this game shervin1963 (IRI) was unlucky as only 2 people from the same country can qualify to the next round in Asia.

The Netherlands [game]2961234[/game] finally started as Gisbert (NED) replaces dupke (NED). The famous Dutch player Iron Maid (NED) also plays in this game. He could use some support as he is the lowest ranked player here. =D>

Well I thought that all games started now .... but, I did it again. Same as with South Africa happened to New Zealand. Lots of players wanted the open spot from homelessguy65 (NZL). So I created again a 5 player [game]3035091[/game], with the best 2 to qualify to the next stage. So the second round 6-player Kiwi-game becomes an 8-player game.

Eliminate someone or miss 3 turns in a row and I will report it. If I would report more, I can better quit my dayjob and become a sportsjournalist or a writer. It definitely pays more. :lol:

Or maybe everyone of the 370 entrances should pay $ 10 dollars entry, then I could do also some more work on the updates. Wow, that's a great idea!!
