Question to Players left in tourney:

Do you play all three games? If you win game 1 or 2 do you play another?

I was in the beginning but then realized it allows more people the opportunity to advance.

[Southecare]

guess 32

[Tviorr]

I play 3 every round regardless of how I do.

Im hopelessly optimistic and still aim for most wins, most maps, most players etc. although Im so far behind I actually have a view of my own arse.

Well that didnt really make sense, but I trust you know what I mean

[cdbridges]

33 is my guess

[dawg1]

Well.... I'm not gonna win one this round. I'm out.

Thanks for the tourney HA! I really enjoyed it. When you get another one on the go, feel free to invite me. I'd like to play another tourney.

[bibo33]

Is there any chance in the next round we can do some random maps with no spoils?

I almost missed this, lol, and then I decided to go through the thread again, and I found it!

Can you tell I'm excited?

Sorry to hear about your PC, sucks when that happens..

Anyway, no rush, I'll be here all week...

[HighlanderAttack]

There is a chance--everyone had a chance to turn in maps and settings for round six but only about 16 people participated

[jdtins]

My guess is 4...sorry to hear about the PC. This has been a great tourney!

Question:
When people talk about 'freemiums' and 'premiums'... which one includes people who have free premium for referring someone? When I started this tourni I was freemium... and without paying any money, am I now premium?

then someone bought you an premium, or indeed you have some time from referals.. congrats
you are now premium, since your referal brought cash to the site from which you got a short time real advantage!
Not everybody who has premium status paid for it themselves. e.g. I have gotten a full year for winning a random doubles random map tournament. I have also funded my own account, but as long as someone is paying the bill, you are premium.

So what does this mean for the tourni? I know there's a “Last standing freemium player” General Achievement award and there's at least been some thoughts of also giving however many months premium to the longest standing freemium too. Is the freemium status based on what we started the tourni with/ ended it with/ had at the end of the tourni/ had for the majority of time/etc ?

[italianipastido]

my guess is 10 sorry aobut your PC :S

It can go the other way too... I started with premium but it just ran out, so now I'm a freemium. Not that this will last, but if it were nearer the end of the tournament, it would appear that I got this far as a freemium.

I assume HA has a list of the people who started as freemium. So the winner would have to be the last standing freemium player who is also on that list - it would solve both problems. It means if you upgrade during the tournament, you become ineligible for that medal though.

I repeat my point that I don't think CC would/should allow a medal to be awarded which actually discourages members from upgrading. CC decides how many GAs can be given out, so they would likely have some say. And they'd probably be pretty pissed at HA if he effectively rewarded action that deters paying for premium (which in turn pays for all the games that all of us--freemium and premium alike--enjoy). .... Especially in a tournament that is GIGANTIC like this one.

I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment, but it clearly states in the first page [linked from the first post]:

“Last standing freemium player”.—last freemium player left in the tourney—if two players tie they will have a one game playoff—if more than two a round robin playoff

I guess my question is how this is determined, because depending on that it could actually encourage members (like myself) from renewing their premium during the tournament to be eligible for that medal.
