[lisbon101]

No information about them...

[danryan]

It's going to be important how they are scored:

real time:

Lisbon101 634
Jondalar 607
Colson 601
danryan 586
Vikermac 583
Xeathy 551
Grape Ape 508

[colson]

Here is what I have as of right now.

Lisbon101 - 651
Colson - 618
Jondalar - 612
Vikermac - 599
danryan - 593
Xeathy - 568
Grape Ape - 512

[Jondalar]

i scored like u colson, but that rule has to be clear to the final round

This is what it says in the rules:

Scoring in an Objective Game were someone wins by objective
Winner 10 points
All Othes 4 points
Obviously winning by objective would be a good thing in a close race

Surely that means that 4 is the max anyone else can get in an objective win - thats consistant with how its been scored in previous rounds

[lisbon101]

Ok, i will change my score of europe 1914 to only 4 points

[colson]

So does that mean everyone else gets 4 points regardless? First person out who had 1 point now gets 4? That seems odd.

The way it was handled in the past, anyone who would have scored less than 4 has gotten their score, with all other losers having their points capped at 4....

[Vikermac]

Okay, has anyone heard from Brandon or Dazoot at all? Because we are really closing in on the end and I need an official score to know where I am at right now.

[danryan]

I think it's mathematically all but over:

Lisbon101 671
Jondalar 630
Vikermac 619
Colson 619
danryan 607
Xeathy 592
Grape Ape 526

[danryan]

One thing that hadn't really happened until this point was the regular serving up of players for point scoring purposes, which is well within tournament play but utterly pisses me off as it ruins the game experience. I think the winner of the game needs to be rewarded more heavily to discourage the practice of playing for second, because in a number of games it was clear three of the players were tanking it to try to take second, not late in the game, but as soon as they saw one player leading at all.

Well played to the finalists. It's pretty clear who the best escalating players are and I think they made it to the final - and I suspect they'll be battling for the title.

Here is what I have:

Lisbon101 - 686
Colson - 633
Jondalar - 628
Vikermac - 622
danryan - 611
Xeathy - 597
Grape Ape - 527

[danryan]

I think it's close enough. Do you have the zero's for Galapagos and another (I think)?

[lisbon101]

yes, u have 2 zero games, no cards taken, games 81 and 29

[Vikermac]

The question is, will our tournament directors come back and do the last round though?

[danryan]

Let's wait till the games all finish. If brandon or dazoot don't come back I'll volunteer to finish it up for them.

[danryan]

Colson, just a couple of quick things on your spreadsheet I noticed - you didn't have zeros for lisbon and yourself for galapagos and for you on halloween hollows. Otherwise looks close.

Current scores, based on minimum pts:

Lisbon101 691
Jondalar 642
Vikermac 634
Colson 621
danryan 613
Xeathy 613
Grape Ape 541

Xeathy has the best shot of knocking Colson out at this point. I have 2 active games left and would have to win both to have any shot. Xeathy has 5 active games. Colson only has 2 active games as well. It's going to be very close at the finish.

[lisbon101]

zero for me, on what game?

[danryan]

Sorry lisbon. You are at 698, I incorrectly had you at zero for galapagos.

[colson]

I had absolutely no idea there was a 0 point clause in the rule that was added. That is very lame.

[danryan]

It's cost you 13 points by my calculations.

[Vikermac]

I had absolutely no idea there was a 0 point clause in the rule that was added. That is very lame.

I wondered why you weren't attacking on Galapagos, especially since you had 30+ surrounded by a bunch of neutral terts. I waited as long as I could so you would get some points, but by my final move you still hadn't taken any terts and I had to end the game. Sorry man, thought you knew.

[lisbon101]

2 rules were changed because psilotum´s tactic last tourney, u have to conquer at least one or get zero, and the winner taking 10 points instead of 8...

[colson]

Ya I am not a big fan of this scoring system. I will have 25+ wins and 2nd by a mile and may not make it to the final round. Out of 120+ games I did that tactic in 2 games. Rule changes should be e-mailed to us for those that were in past tournaments. This is why I like 8 Man Madness tourney better. You get 1 point for a win and the rest get 0. Most wins advance. Simple as that.

[Dazoot]

Okay folks I'm back from vacation and the scores have been updated as Aug.7th @ 2200hrs. As I have calculated Lisbon101, Jondalar and Vikermac have secured spots in the final and Colson and Danryan are fighting for the final spot.

Welcome back, has been chaos without you.
