lol.. well, maybe you should at that.. I can't believe I wasn't paying attention. Foggy Assassin games are definitely riskier!

Just a note to say the scoreboard is fully updated. Groups B and C are decided and Group D has one game left that will determine the winner.

Groups A and E are a bit behind, due to deadbeats in each, but we hopefully shouldn't be too far away from starting the final group.

[gannable]

i won the last game. am i still out

[Peter Gibbons]

i won the last game. am i still out

Just saw this, sorry. Yes, you're still eliminated. Only the group winner advances and imcjb had already clinched with 48 points.

To everyone else, we're still waiting on a couple games that will take a little longer. I think we all know how flat/foggy games can last a little bit!

I'll send game info for the finals as soon as we have all 5 players qualified.

[Peter Gibbons]

Just an update to let everyone know that 3 games are still very much deadlocked. Could be awhile for the start of the finals, but rest assured I've got my eye on everything.

[Peter Gibbons]

Down to 2 games (and 1 group). Light at the end of the tunnel can almost be seen...

[Peter Gibbons]

One game left! We're almost there. Will put the scoreboard for the finals below and set up games soon.

Congratulations to ZionT Champion of Initech III: North America!

GOLD: ZionT
SILVER: efreddy
BRONZE: Peter Gibbons

ZionT won a hotly contested final group by conquering the NYC map. After Peter Gibbons got out to a lead with two assassin wins, ZionT strung together three terminator wins to surge into the lead. efreddy fought valiantly, with two standard map wins, but in the end no one could challenge ZionT, who clinched victory with a win on the NYC map. After a dominating performance in the first round, ZionT was the deserved champion of the tournament after winning the difficult final group.

ZionT concluded the 72-game, 2-round, 12-map tournament with the following statistics: 24 games played, 145 points, 11 map wins. The complete stats for the final group members are:

1. ZionT: 145 points, 11 map wins
2. efreddy: 87 points, 7 map wins
3. Peter Gibbons: 129 points, 9 map wins
4. Darko83: 69 points, 6 map wins
5. imcjb: 48 points, 4 map wins

Congrats again to ZionT and thanks to all for playing.
