Old information from round 2
[spoiler]Round 2 still has 8 active games and 8 players that need to win to advance. I was hoping this would be completed by today, but it won't be. I am still planning on sending out the instructions for round 3 tomorrow night. Remember -just because you see games available to join does not mean the round has started. To stay up to day read the first page of the thread from time to time.
If you are receiving this pm it means you are advancing to round 3.[/spoiler]
3/5-Sunday or Monday--not sure with 10 active games left--but most likely start of round 33/3--ROUND 3 WILL START AS SOON AS ENOUGH GAMES DO NOT MATTER FROM ROUND 2--THERE ARE STILL 21 GAMES GOING ON. I WORK TOMORROW SO I AM ESTIMATING A SUNDAY START TO ROUND 3. I AM GETTING A LOT OF PM'S ABOUT THIS--SO SINCE EVERYONE SHOULD BE CHECKING THE FIRST PAGE OF THE THREAD AND NOT ASKING ME THROUGH PM'S I AM RESPONDING HERE. I WILL CHECK WHICH GAMES ARE IMPORTANT AND UPDATE THIS TOMORROW NIGHT.Round 3 to start between 3/3 and 3/7--hard to tell with over 70 active games remaining
Round 2 is closed
Round 3 to start between 3/3 and 3/7--hard to tell with over 250 active games remaining
We will lose about 400 players so we should be in the 1500+ remaining
If you have any major issues or questions--just post in the thread and I will get back to you
We had about seven players play round 2 that should not be in --if anyone requests a pass code from you--tell them they have to pm me for it. Please don't give the passcode out. If you give the passcode out you will be disqualified.
Night Strike has requested instead of the 6th and 7th getting paid out to give to the top placing freemiums--I agree with this so I will make the change on the prize menu for now. I may get more donations or be able to donate more myself so they may get added back into the prizes along with others. Any CC team member still in the tourney that wants to donate send me a pm--we can get bounties on you starting round 3
213 games are available to be joined at 12pm on Friday. I will start deleting games tonight so this is your last chance to get in a game if you have not done so already.NO MORE BOUNTIES THIS ROUND
ALL BOUNTIES ARE STARTED IN ROUND --FINISH YOUR GAMES IF YOU WANT TO --READ BELOW AS WELL
24+ HOUR WARNING TO JOIN GAMES IN ROUND 2. Sometime between Friday night and Saturday morning I will delete all games that have not been joined and match up any players that are waiting for games. If a match cannot be made equally with same map and setting players in order will get random games with default settings. Round 2 will then be finished out and round three will start shortly after that. I do not have a time for round 3 to start but if I were to guess --March 3rd would be a good estimate of the start date for round 3. I am not going to send another pm as I have sent two this round. The joining of the round is officially over except I have extended time up to 36 more hours for players to join. There will be a few more bounties this round announced through twitter and/or facebook so be on the look out for them.
After checking this morning it seems you are one of 454 players that have not joined a game in round 2. Friday will be the last day to join a game in round 2. Please read all of the information below-post questions on the thread if you have any.[/size]
--The above message went to the 454 players that have not joined a game in round 2 along with the instructions on how to join. The list of these players can be found on page:172 I have a busy day today so not much will happen. I need to organize the bounties and I will send a pm out to the over 400 players that have not joined a game this round. I will answer any questions tonight.

Looks like we have a winner: 437 was the numberBOUNTY TIME--not sure who you are playing yet --but I will set the game up after I have a winner with one of our volunteers. Anyway this game will be even harder than the last one. Last game lasted 5.5 hours --Only time will tell how long this one lasts. For this game you must pick a number between 1-500. You get three guesses--remember you must only have played 0-2 games in round 2 and be in the tourney to be eligible--must post your guesses in the thread.--Good Luck go post.Our latest Bounty Winner-ImperialDragon--
viewtopic.php?f=91&t=134927&start=2495[/size]
Bounty time again--this one is for the MOLE--I like the idea of guessing numbers--for this one we will do 1-200, so I expect a lot of players to get a chance--You may guess two times--You have to post in the thread--u can't have already played your three games in this round. You have to still be in the tourney. So go post two guesses 1-200--first post to get it right wins. [game]8552160[/game] Do not pm me.
OVER 600 players that have advanced into round 2 have not started playing this round--better get busy--Friday will be the last day to join games--unless you have given me a pm why you cannot join. Only one player is getting back from a vacation on Friday--all others are expected to get at least one game in by Friday. I will send a pm or two out with a notice but there will be no excuses come Friday.[/size]The winner is davec727--congrats and thanks to all that played [game]8548868[/game]
Bounty time--remember you must be a part of round 2 and have played less than 3 games total in round 2. Let's play a game--the game is called higher or lower. I have picked a number between 1 and 1000. First person to get the number correct by posting in the thread will get to play in the bounty game against me. Here is the twist--I will say higher or lower after you guess--this will narrow it down. You are allowed 2 guesses total--that is it. Good Luck
2/19--ok what the heck--here is one of tonight's bounties [game]8547672[/game] Thing is I do not want to release the passcode for this one--I would check out the player that this is against--check his profile closely. It gives the passcode away. [/size] If you can figure it out--you go for the premium prize--good luck--Oh and remember--ask all questions on the thread unless u need the passcode--then you can pm me--thanks
2/19--I am super busy--it is Saturday morning--won't be back on line until late this afternoon or tonight. More games will be created then and a bounty will come out for sure. Round 2 joining instructions:[spoiler]

The main thread is the first link followed by the rules (important), then a list of remaining players and finally the best part the prizes and awards page.

Now to [b]ROUND 2 INSTRUCTIONSDo not join more than 3 games total in the entire round.Do not give out the pass code--if someone wants it tell them to pm me for the pass code
Bounty games count towards your three total games you are allowed to join so if you want to try and get in one of them wait to join games or only join two games to start with.
Do not join games against the same player
Stay away from joining games against players you have played in previous rounds--If I see a pattern we may have issues
If you make a mistake you have five minutes to pm me with the mistake information. If you wait and then try to let me know what happened you will still be disqualified if it is a rule breaker. Go to game finder and check off waiting for players and find HA's 200th tourney in the Tournament drop down box
The passcode for round 2 is
pm HA if you need itHave fun and good luck
Remember--any questions should be posted on the thread:

I am bored was the actual passcode to the bounty and drunkmonkey figured it out--the number was 32 for all those interested. More fun and excitement to come.
Most recent bounty game--[game]8535878[/game]--there have been four this round so far--also note the bounty set up by the drawing has not been joined--it has a normal passcode for round 2 so if it expires --first come first serve
I am bored so I am doing another bounty--here is the twist--you can get in by figuring out the passcode by yourself or guessing a number between 1 and 50. The person who guesses the number first gets the invitation to the games if someone did not figure out the pass code--yea try figuring it out--lol--so post reply in the thread with a number between 1-50. You get one guess only--go post--I am waiting. The game number is [game]8535878[/game]10:55 2/17--I will take requests for the next two hours--only by pm--so send me a pm with map and settings if you want about ten games made with your choice.
The 3-0 club has been released on the last page
9:02 2/17--Instructions have been sent out--if you did not get instructions please post in this thread and I will send a private message and wall you--make sure you are a remaining player in the tourney.
Why are some games reserved?Only I can reserve a game:
1. They were picked to choose maps and settings so I reserved on game for them
2. The responded to open map choice as posted on the thread --so I reserved them one spot.
3. It is an announced bounty game
5:47 2/17 Well Well Well--looks like the bounty hunters will win two in a row with the mole getting his but pushed back in his hole by the mud puppy

. So Europeans wanted a bounty sent out during their time--I set my alarm to do this one--actually I get up about this time every day.
FEAR THE MOLE is the pass code, although the mole is not putting fear in anyone with the game he is playing right now. As the mole gets his beauty sleep you can join his bounty game at [game]8533242[/game] Remember please be on the list of remaining players to join this game. It will count for the the mole so please don't waste an opportunity for someone to win the premium prize.--also I will be sending out the passcode in a few hours for round 2. Good Luck
I am taking requests for maps and settings for the next few hours as I am making games in preparation for tomorrow passcode release and the real start to round 2. You must pm me with map and settings if you want about 25 games created with the way you like it. MudPuppy joined the mole's bounty and got the start so we may have a shot are our second bounty winner--a whole 15 minutes passed after it was posted.
2/16 8:48Let's kick off round 2 with a bounty on the famous mole. The pass code is
sniff the mole He has generously offered up 8 of these so go get your 3 month premium. Remember bounty hunters have been dreadful so far only winning one game out of eight. The game is [game]8530887[/game]. Remember please be on the list of remaining players to join this game. It will count for the the mole so please don't waste an opportunity for someone to win the premium prize.--WOW--9:03 now and this is still available--I like it

[game]8530713[/game]Goslowandecho was chosen by random.org to play in the first bounty of round 2. If he does not show up the pass code will be the one that is released in the instruction tomorrow. First come first serve. If you are not in the tourney any longer do not join--you will not win the bounty if this happens and it will cause one less bounty attempt in the current round.
It is 5pm my time on Wednesday. I am doing a random.org for a bounty against me on my arms race in about thirty seconds. You can check the results on the last page--this will be set up as the first bounty of round 2. random.org will choose the player--first one chosen gets a chance.

Read all of this to make sure you are clear with HA's 200th tourney and be ready for games by Friday morning.Please go to the thread to ask questions and get updates. If you pm me with a question that I have pm'd you or is announced on the thread I probably will not respond.
Thread Link>>>> viewtopic.php?t=134927
All updates with dates are being announced on the first page. I will also clean up the thread tonight to make things a lot easier to read.I am still getting this message so if you have blocks or settings on your pm box that do not allow you to get messages or messages from me you are not receiving pm's for this tourney--but the same info is posted on the thread>>>>
Some users couldn’t be added as they have disabled private message receipt.
You tried to send a private message to too many recipients.You received this pm because you are advancing to round 2.
Round 2 starts in the next few days.
You will receive one more pm with a password and instructions on how to join round 2 games after I make the games in the next few days.
I need to update the first four information pages with rules and prize information. There are now over ten years of premium prizes available.
Note: There was a lot of confusion in round one and a lot of mistakes--I gave a slight break to players that joined more than three games--they had to send me game number--initialized times, and won or lost--if in the first three joined games they won one, and they followed my instructions, the were given a break. This will not occur in round two. Thank you all for following instructions.
The exact rule and how it will be written: You are only allowed to join three total games in any given round. Joining 4 or more will disqualify you. If you make a mistake you need to send me a pm within five minutes of making the mistake with the game number. Be careful and make sure you only join three games and no more in any round and you will not have a problem. Bounties count as a game so if you want to try for a bounty in a round--do not join three games right away. Wait to join your three total games.There will be seven days available to join games this round. This means if you are freemium you better manage your account well. After seven days you will be locked out from joining anymore games. I will send a 24 hour notice.
Even though we still have 7 active games going I am planning on sending round 2 out sometime on Thursday or on Friday morning. I will give those players that advance a chance to play as long as they get their win in.
For the players that joined more than four games --today is the last day to report the proper information to me. You are not included in this pm, but you will get your own pm and this will be listed on page one of the thread.
Good Luck and have fun. We had 2507 players play a game in round one and will be under 2100 starting round 2. Ask questions on the thread--but this should have all the information you need.[/spoiler]
2/16-List of players advancing for sure released and a pm to all sent. Players that played more than four games-last chance to send game time initialized-game numbers and w or l to me. Still 7 players that are playing in round one have a chance to advance by winning--games to come out by this weekend no matter what--those players won't receive the passcode until they win or lose though.
