It is the first Verne novel in which he perfected the "ingredients" of his later work, skillfully mixing a plot full of adventure and twists that hold the reader's interest with passages of technical, geographic, and historic description. The book gives readers a glimpse of the exploration of Africa, which was still not completely known to Europeans of the time, with explorers traveling all over the continent in search of its secrets.(Source : wikipedia)

I tried to organize an interesting tournament, based on Jules Verne's books and novels. All pm's announcing rounds will be filled with covers and any others maps or indication to set the mood. Enjoy the games on Conquer Club and be fair.

I've got 3 games with deadbeats right now. I'm only freemium. I feel like such a loser
We know that premium won't join right now. We could sent invite again if needed. As soon as we know, no problem! But once in the tournament and if you qualify for next round, make sure you have enough spot left.

If a reserve doesn't show in the tournament, FIRST reserve in the list will replace him . If we run out of reserves, yes you could.

I invited four players to each game. However, quite a few have failed to accept their invitations. Some of these are freemiums who don't currently have a slot open, and DJENRE wants to be patient and give them a day or two to get out of their other commitments before giving their spot to a reserve.

No, I don't think I phrased the question correctly.
I totally agree that spots should be filled by reserves in the order they signed up, that is perfectly correct. What I'm saying is, if a reserve comes in (without a team) can we ask him to join our team?

We have another problem. [game]8662634[/game] has an invite to the player Craig. Craig only visited once, in 2006, and joined only one game. There must be some mistake.

I have 2 that want to join as a team and possibly 2 more. Do you have any room for another Team? If we, don't get 2 more, just payers us with another double. I will keep you posted.

This one has been straightened out successfully. The correct player in the tournament should have been Craig25. He was incorrectly listed as Craig in the list of players. I have sent an invite to Craig25.

I have disqualified three more players who have rejected their game invites and/or let them expire twice or in a couple cases three times. Three reserves are being activated.
There are two players who have let their invites expire two or more times, but I have made exceptions for them and invited them again.
Kabalistik and dementia13 are freemium players stuck in 4 games. They have now let their Jules Verne invites expire twice, but I did NOT disqualify them because I reviewed the games they are in and see that they are making an honest effort in those games to get themselves killed.
Keep trying, gentlemen, and I will renew your invites one more time if necessary. If anybody is in games with them, please do the right thing and administer the coup de grace, thank you...

Thank you very much for that. 
. If we run out of reserves, yes you could.
